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
4.
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
5.
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 Chorus
6.
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
7.
Intro V1 Don't wanna be tied, tied down Don't wanna be down, down on the ground I love the chase, I crave the game Gonna raise the stakes, anyway I can Pre This world is built for speed It say go, go, go You know that's what I do Can't say no, no, no I'm spinnin' faster, can't seem to heed 'Bout to blow a gasket, so what I really need is Chorus For you to slow it down for me Would you slow the world down for me Re-Intro V2 Another long night, on the job Time is tight, still working hard Beads of sweat, in my mind Might be searchin' for somethin' I'll never find Pre2 This world is built for speed It say go, go, go You know that's what I do I can't say no, no, no I'm spinnin' faster, can't seem to heed But you're built for comfort, so what I really need is Chorus2 For you to slow it down for me Would you slow the world down for me You're built for comfort, I'm built for speed So would you slow the world down for me Outro You’ve got the power to make me believe You can slow the world down for me.

Strong Bird V1 I done laid my traps around 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 I be cookin’ all night long, all night long Be cookin', keep cookin’, til the stew is through

V1 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 Chorus

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

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

Young Boy 05:10
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.
