The Mess is On
The mess is on – the stuff is here
We’ve got corn - We’ve got beer
Plenty ladies who love to dance
C’mon fellas hike your pants
Guitar’s tuned and I’m ready to play
Make noise till the break of day
The mess is on – the stuff is here
The mess is on – the stuff is here
I’ll play everything – you want to hear
We’ve got friends and God to thank
For food we’ve ate and wine we’ve drank
Let’s celebrate with everything we do
I’m so blessed by being here with you
The mess is on – the stuff is here
The mess is on – the stuff is here
We’ve got corn - We’ve got beer
Plenty ladies who love to dance
C’mon fellas take a chance
Guitar’s tuned and I’m ready to play
Make noise till the break of day
The mess is on – the stuff is here

Chicken Pie
I love your biscuits – pork chops pilled high
I’d kill any man about your chicken pie
Chicken Pie – love your Chicken Pie
I go crazy – don’t get my chicken pie
When I wake in the morning – shake my weary head
I reach over take my breakfast in bed
Chicken pie – chicken pie
I go crazy – don’t get my chicken pie
Why, why, why do I make these women cry?
My, my, my; good gravy and a big old thigh
Chicken Pie – Chicken Pie
I go crazy – don’t have my chicken pie
I like Georgia Peach - and cherry is very sweet
Double chocolate – lemon meringue
With the thumb, in the plum –
It’s got a mighty - (BANG)
Chicken Pie – Chicken Pie - Chicken Pie
I go crazy – don’t get my chicken pie
Let me tell you, when I die
They’ll bust the henhouse door
Find me smothered in Chicken pie
Chicken Pie – Chicken Pie
I go crazy – don’t get my chicken pie

Drinkin' Woman

Drinkin’ Woman
INTRO Am C G
I need a drinkin’ woman only she can understand
And go thru life as the wife of a cruel drinkin’ man
With a drinkin woman I never need to be redeemed
Things are always better for worse than they seem
She understands good men fail,
Great men fight on everyday
She holds up her head,
Don’t give a damn what people say
CHORUS
When I’m on the floor, lord, paying for my sin
She pours another drink and
Tells me I’ll win in the end
We’ll laugh and cry in one refrain
No ones to blame, it reminds me how lucky I am
CHORUS
A sober woman often sits on the fence
Acts very careful and always tries to make sense
I don’t drink - to kill some pain
To forget or be happy - it’s just to calm my brain
I need a drinkin’ woman only she can withstand
And go thru life as the wife of a cruel drinkin’ man
And go thru life as the wife of a cruel drinkin’ man
Go thru life as the wife of a drinkin’ man

Hell Hath No Fury

Hell Hath No Fury
Squeeze her – please her
Buddy Don’t you tease her
You will learn in a hurry – sure as you’re born
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Give her a call late at night
To let her know everything’s all right
It may seem small – but it means so much
When you walk by – give her a little touch
Don’t accuse, abuse or refuse her
Or brother you going to lose her
She’ll rebuke you, shoot you - terrorize your life
She’s dangerous with a knife
It will drive you crazy - if you spend your days
Trying to understand what she’s thinkin’ - or the things she says
Please, please, please her everyday
Don’t get caught with her best friend – even just kneeling to pray
Squeeze her – please her
get on your knees for her
You will learn in a hurry – sure as you’re born
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

Garden Mouse
I have a garden behind my house
It grows very fine, but there’s a mouse
He eats his fill
(But he don’t eat it all)
He saves me enough
(He don’t eat it all)

My Feet Hurt

My feet Hurt
I carry my sins throughout my body
Aches, swellings and pain
My greed is my headache
And lust is stressing my brain
My feet hurt
And my back is stiff
My tongue is tender
From telling all these fibs
Avarice – deliciousness, so it is
Maybe it’s hard to perceive
While full of bravado
I’m weak in the knees
I’m all stooped over from jealousy
Always tired and confused and my eyes can’t see
It’s from the anger
That rages inside of me

Nina’s Song
She’s got Caramel skin
And Coffee eyes
She lives at the end of the road
With the crocodiles
Her dreams are secrets
Jewels in her hands
And when she shakes her hips
There fall a dozen men
Her pantera stare
Looks deep in your soul
Her love can free
But I don’t want to know
Tide glows, shark rolls,
Salty kisses in the undertow
We are shooting stars
We won’t be back no more

Te Amo Loco
Te Amo Loco – Please love me poco
Te Amo loco – Dame un beso
Satisfagame in San Jose
she’s the lovely seniorita bonita – that changed my ways
black sand – full moon bright
making love in the water – in phosphorous light
Pura Vida - in her dark dark eyes
She’s a wild child of nature – thru the restless night
Hand in Hand – tongue in Cheek
She smiles, rolls her eyes – and then punches me
I said Te amo – I’ve never told you a lie
So when I leave for a little while – Nina, Don’t you cry
I’ll be back on a plane – I won’t be gone again
And when you take me in your arms – that’s where I’ll stay
Dame un beso!

More than One
I learned at a young age
I’m here to tell you it’s true
I learned at a very young age
I’m here to tell you it’s true
You can love more than one woman
And more than one woman can love you
It can drive you mad
With years of guilt and pain
It can drive you mad
With tears of guilt and pain
Don’t ever take
The name of love in Vain
The story is true
You got to reap what you sew
The saying is true
You going to reap what you sew
I’ve got a lot of love
To give before I go

Field Day
Let’s go back to school –
I want to have a field day with you
Let’s be fools – Break a few teachers’ rules
Hop in the sack – Jumpin’ Jacks
Making’ stacks on the camels back
Let’s go back to school –
I want to have a field day with you
Let’s be fools – Break a few teachers’ rules
Tug of war can be lots of fun
Relay race – pass the baton
Let’s be fools - I want to have a field day with you
Let’s go back to school - I want to have a field day with you
Apple bob – enjoying cherry pop
You’ll go crazy when I go ‘Mop Mop’
Let’s be fools - I want to have a field day with you
Let’s go back to school – I want to have a field day with you
Let’s be fools – Break a few teachers’ rules
Try the maypole – toss the ring to the moon
Blindfold me baby - give me an egg and spoon
Let’s go back to school –
I’m going to have a field day with you
Let’s go back to school – I want to have a field day with you
Baby, let’s be fools – Break all the teacher’s rules
Take a long jump, a high jump – however you feel
Or we can take a picnic in the daisy field
Baby, let’s go back to school - I want to have a field day
I want to have a field day with you
(Don’t be shy - plenty of pie - then we’ll go to the zoo)

I Will Be With You
Wherever you go – whatever you do
I want you to know – my heart will be with you
Although my body is gone – my time here is thru
Sing this song – and I will be with you
I will hold your hand – and kiss your cheek
Love is strong - although the flesh is weak
In your darkest hour – and your brightest one too
Sing this song – I will be with you
I will be with you – I will be with you
Sing this song – I will be with you
So don’t you cry – please don’t moan
Not for one minute – can you be alone
In your darkest hour – and your brightest one too
Sing this song – I will be with you
I will be with you – I will be with you
Sing this song – I will be with you

When the Veil is Lifted
02:27

When the veil is lifted, will I be acquitted?
Of my crimes –quit of my addiction
When I break the mortal coil – will I rise up from the soil
And fly to paradise?
I’ve seen the light – stealing thru the night
So sharp –so bright
Removing contradiction – to heal my affliction
When the veil is lifted Halleluiah
There lay joy – beyond sorrow
Like the sun - bringing tomorrow
Loves kiss can bring such bliss
When the veil is lifted Halleluiah
Without regret – with open eyes
Without fear – without lies
Day to night like death to life
When the veil is lifted, will I be acquitted?
Of my crimes –quit of my addiction
When I break the mortal coil – will I rise up from the soil
And fly to paradise?

melody
Lover, share with me
A sweet mmelody
Like a tune we’ve always known
When inhibitions gone
Open and free
Sweet mmelody
Puts a smile right there
You’ll start dancing everywhere
Rising and falls we meet
Up and down the sheet
We won’t be strangers in the rhythm changes
Forte, Pianissimo
Oh the places we’ll go
Medium, forte
Encore
Lover, share with me
In dolce harmony
So sweet in refrain
To repeat again and again
