Where Do We Go From Here © 2018 Franz Kahale and Richard Dance
V1
She comes to me in the night
Her hair falls through my heavy shoulders
And what's wrong in my world feels right
Tell me darlin', where do we go from here
V2
She drinks tequila, and that's just fine
The taste burns through my leather lips
Her mouth pours out like cherry wine
Tell me darlin', where do we go from here
Bridge
Well we're on this ride together
Down an unfamiliar road
This ain't my first rodeo
So maybe you're what I've been waiting for...
V3
You've got to open up baby, I can taste the ocean in your skin
The valley walls fall all around me
And that's where my blood begins
To ask you darlin', where do we go from here
Tag
Tell me darlin', where do we go from here
Gonna sing it one more time for you
Tell me darlin'
Outro
Where do we go from here
I just wanna go with you child
Where do we go from here
Yeah

Ain't That Enough © 2018 Franz Kahale and Richard Dance
V1
I'm tired of feeling angry, tired of being hurt
Give you my money, give you the shirt off my back baby
Ain't that enough
I try to make you happy, try to make it work, ain't that enough
V2
Here's the situation, it's sad but it's true
What I got to give you ain't good enough for you
That's rough, ain't that enough
I tried to be manly, I tried to be tough, ain't that enough
Bridge
Go easy baby, listen to me
Don't freeze me baby, break out, shake out, make out, take out my misery
V3
It's that same old worn out record, been playin' in my mind
Pretending that you love me girl, pretending that you're fine with my guff, well ain't that enough
I tried to be manly, I tried to be tough, ain't that enough
I tried to be manly, I tried to be tough, ain't that enough
I try to make you happy, try to make it work, ain't that enough

Words and music by Richard Dance
V1
For ten long years I worked hard for one woman
It got easier as time went by
Like all young fools I had to learn my lesson
Sometimes you hang in and don’t ask why
The world was our playground from a strange hometown
The desert snowed all the time
But we were young and high rpm
We always got to work by nine
CHORUS
But then came February
I didn’t have no valentine
Hearts are pumpin’ everywhere
Tell me who will be mine?
V2
We circled the drain down in a place called Bahrain
I was hers and she was mine
We did it again on a wide open plain
A little hazy from the brown and the wine
Florida was tough, I stunk like a fish
She had to hose me down and help me unwind
The South was weird for a Midwestern girl
I knew it wouldn’t take much time
CHORUS
Put it right there
Guitar Solo
V3
We say that we’re happy and we feel all right
I sure got a lot more time
The stretch ain’t there I can do what I like
The band is sure sounding fine
This sheila I lost was a real rare bird
I know she was one of a kind
I gotta keep searchin’ til I find the right one
That one looks mighty fine!
CHORUS

V1
I hear a rumble
Shakin’ my foundation
About to stumble
On the crack in my floor
Pre-Chorus1
She don’t have to do nothin’
It’s just the way she is
Out here on the fault line
Somethin’s gotta give
Chorus
Ain’t gonna be easy, no
This ain’t no way to live
On the fault line, y'all
Somethin’s gotta give
V2
She has got me
In a hard situation
My head is spinnin’
The walls, they start shakin’
Pre-Chorus2
She don’t have to do nothin’
It’s just the way she is
Out here on the fault line
Somethin’s gotta give
I quiver when she starts talkin’
Just look how she’s walkin’
I can’t take it anymore
Chorus x 2
Vamp
She got me on the fault line
On the fault line

Top of the Hill
V1
Living in a world of hurt, down here with the demons below
Wanna get on up to the high side, But I’m slidin’ down a slippery slope
I never was one of the lucky ones, who was born on higher ground
The blues turns to desperation, as the walls come tumblin’ down
Pre-Chorus
I sure had enough of the bad side, I need a piece of the good
Demons turn me loose, so I can find a way out of the woods
Chorus
And be standing, standing on the top of the hill
I swear I’ve had my fill, of the trouble below
And when I’m standing, standing on the top of the hill
I’ll tell the blues fair thee well, I ain’t goin’ back no more, no
V2
It’s been a long time at rock bottom, I been slavin’ hard for days
Tryin’ to find somewhere to run to, mind’s blowin’ like a hurricane
It won’t be long I’ll be the lucky one, make it up to the higher ground
The moon will shine, I’ll leave the blues behind, and you won’t see me hangin’ around
Pre-Chorus

V1
I don’t mean to be nice, you’re like fire and ice
Sure know how to roam, you ain’t never home
Your ecstasy, brings out my jealousy
You turn up that juice, baby ‘bout to bust me loose
Pre
Let’s continue the conversation
Say yes to the situation
No need for retaliation
I got to let you know
Chorus
Yeah it’s true
I got no red flags on you
V2
Day by day, we’re gonna get connected
Learn to expect, the unexpected
Your eyes are bright, your body’s just right
Gonna give up the fight, go flyin’ into the night…where we see the light
Pre
Let’s continue the conversation
Say yes to the situation
No need for retaliation
I got to let you know
Chorus 2
Yeah it’s true
I got no red flags on you
You know it’s true
No red flags on you

Gonna raise the stakes, anyway I can

Still I ain’t caught nuthin'
I done laid my traps around
And still I ain’t got nuthin
One strong bird is all I need
Least that’ll be sumthin'
V2
Well I finally caught a strong bird
In the woods on the outskirts of town
I caught a real strong bird
In the woods outside of town
The bird’s legs were so strong and so long
I wadn’t sure I could hold her down
V3
Now I got this strong bird
So I could make some fine stew
I got a real strong bird
I'm gonna make some fine stew

Be cookin', keep cookin’, til the stew is through

Do you feel what I feel?

There’s a man livin’ in the alley looks a lot like Jesus
How do you know he ain’t
How do you know he ain’t
He swears by God he’s gonna save your soul
How do you know he can’t
How do you know he can’t
Walkin’ the sidewalk countin’ the cracks
Livin‘ in a box by the railorad tracks
V2
Preacher up on the stage say he talk to the Lord
How do you know he can’t
How do you know he can’t
Down on his knees, on his way to heaven
How do you know he ain’t
How do you know he ain’t
Walkin’ to the bank countin’ his jack
Livin’ in a house on the high side of the tracks
Pre-chorus
If it begs the question ‘bout how it oughta go
If it’s your intention, you think you need to know
Chorus
Heads is tails, right is wrong,
Black is white, short is long
Up is down, stop is go
Do you really need to know
V3
Jesus goes to church looking for a meal
Preacher’s on the street looking for a deal
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who’s the fairest of them all

Baby Yeah – words & music by Richard Dance
V1
Baby how do you bring these things up in me
Talkin’ to another man on the phone
Baby I get all crazy think you’ll leave me
I’ll be sittin’ right here all alone
They say I’m grown but a little boy’s still in me
He’s stronger than the man outside
Butcha know I’m in this for the long haul
One day I’ll learn to take it all in stride
V2
Baby I know you might be scared your own self
Not sure how open you should be
Baby I know it’s safer in your own world
It’s how you’ve always made yourself free
I wanna thank you for lettin’ me in
You’re braver than you think you are
I surely know that you mean just what you say
It’ll be so good when we’re cruisin’ thru the stars
Instrumental Bridge
V3
Baby sometimes you make me feel so happy
You tell me I’m the one that you need
Baby you always do the things that please me
Say you’ll even follow me blindly
I’m workin’ hard startin’ from the inside
I wanna take you into the night
Lay back, give you a whole lotta freedom
Then I know everything’s gonna be all right...everything is gonna be all right
Chorus
Baby, yeah...Baby, yeah...Baby, yeah...Baby, yeah...

V1
Boys on their bikes, pedalin’ fast, know just where they goin’.
Uniform whites, indigo pants, little black ties a-flowin’.
You see’m in pairs everywhere, they got their colors showin’.
But this ol’ gang ain’t killin’ no cops, they just say you might be goin’. . .
CHORUS
Straight to Hell. . . I said whatchoo gonna do?
Straight to Hell. . . Somebody’s foolin’ you!
Straight to Hell. . . That might be all right for you!
Straight to Hell. . . I said to hell with you!
2 - Never had a chance to compare, they was bred with tunnel vision.
Home from school, straight to church, gettin’ ready for that mission.
The golden rule is a wonderful tool when you got to sell religion.
When you gonna learn you gonna get burned, better lose your superstition.
CHORUS
Now looky here, you was born into an ongoing movie
How it begins and ends nobody knows
You should quit talkin' about stuff you don't know
And then maybe you can let all this religious fear go
By the way, here's my religion...
guitar solo over groove on the One
3 - Don’t get me wrong if you wanna learn, you got to do some livin’.
On this side, on that side, takin’ and a-givin’.
But don’t you buy one idea, it’ll give you tunnel vision.
Live, live let, keep an open mind, you don’t need no damn religion.
CHORUS

V1
I sure need to lose a little weight, I been waitin’ way too late
I’m tired of my sorry state, Gotta slow my food intake
If I wanna get a brand new mate, Or just a Saturday night date
Can’t be a victim of fate, Get up y’all, it’s time to skate
Chorus
I done heard it on the Healthy News, Everybody’s got somethin’ to lose
Put on your athletic shoes, And lose them overweight blues
I need to take off a pound or two, get ready for my tropical cruise
I done heard it on the Healthy News, Everybody’s got somethin’ to lose.
V2
My clothes they look like a tent, I gotta get up offa this fence
Gonna use my common sense, somebody open up the vents
Don’t care if my wind is spent, don’t care if I get the shin splints
Wanna body condition that’s mint, Then I be lookin’ like a brand new gent
Chorus
Instrumental Bridge
V3
I gotta do it, do it for me, gonna fill my body with glee
Even if I gotta bum knee, I’m gonna shinny on up this tree
It’s okay to stop and take a pee, I’m on a use it or lose it spree.
In the mirror I like what I see, Workin’ out is the secret key
Chorus

Always on the go, always runnin’ the show
She sho’ like to sip her white wine
Gotta deep deep mind, tuned extra fine
And she’s mine, mine, mine, any time
Chorus
Her mind in the heavens, her feet in the mud
Sometimes I wanna break but I am bound
This TV girl, she rocks my world
We go ‘round and around and around
V2
She takes me as I am, hangs on my every word
If her ire’s up she bound to fight
Now that I’ve picked her up, I can’t put her down
I know she gonna take me through the night
Chorus
Instrumental Bridge
V3
We drive this road together
Takin’ it one mile at a time
Rabbit hole deep, big sky above
I got the rhythm, she got the rhyme
Chorus
Outro
Her we go, ‘round and ‘round
TV girl, rock my world
Little dizzy, that’s how we go

The Fire You Feed - words & music by Richard Dance © 2013
V1
You looked so fine, last night at the club
Player made his move but you gave him the snub
Then you turned my way, I knew what I had to do
Gonna feed this fire, this fire for you
Chorus
The fire you feed, is the one that burns
The fire you feed, is the one that burns
V2
I don’t play no games, ain’t here to take up space
You can push me away, wag your finger in my face
But the fire is burnin’ between us two
You know, you know what we got to do
Chorus 2
The fire you feed, is the one that burns
The fire you feed, is the one that burns
The fire you feed, is the one that burns
The fire, the fire that burns
Instrumental Bridge
Chorus 3
The fire you feed, is the one that burns
The fire you feed, is the one that burns

V1
The doctor he say one thing, the nurse she say another
Take this little pill, see how you feel
But when it comes right down to your body and your mind
You know you got to find what is real
V2
People sayin’ this, people talkin’ that
They tellin’ you what you oughta know
What is a fact, and what is fiction
To tell you the truth I don’t know
Chorus
I wanna move, I wanna know
What makes the world tick like it does, tell me more
I wanna ride, I wanna go
So hey Mr. Wizard, pull back the curtain, let’s start the show
V3
Who knows what’s a myth, and what is really true
It’s all about gettin’ it right
Just hang onto, your inside view
Get on your magic carpet and ride
Chorus

I'm gonna take you out on the town, we hit all the joints around like a young boy do.
Take you out on the town, we hit all the joints around like a young boy do.
But you know I'm a man when I make love to you.
We be strollin' through the park acting crazy as a larks like a young boy do.
Strollin' through the park acting crazy as a lark like a young boy do.
But you know I'm a man when I be lovin' you.
Might take an hour, might take a day, might take all week, but I'm gonna get my way.
Strollin' through the park acting crazy as a lark like a young boy do.
But you know I'm a man when I make love to you.
If you don't treat me right, I'll tear up everything in sight like a young boy do.
If you don't treat me right, I'll fuss and fight with you all night like a young boy do.
But you know I'm a man when I make love to you...
one more time.
