My Name Is 04:06
I see it in your eyes, Confused yet intrigued You can't put your finger on it but you swear you know me There's something so familiar in the sound of my voice Every word I'm saying leaves you craving more Something like a lover, at least I used to be Before you fell for other, watered down versions of me Have you forgotten the way I make you feel Let me refresh your memory, and introduce myself MY NAME IS ROCK AND ROLL Don't feel so guilty, you're not the first to go And be seduced so easy, by lovers with no soul Their words are empty, their hearts are just for sale You can only hear em, but Im what you feel I am that fire,burning through your bones And the flame gets higher, with each and every song The kick drum matches your heartbeat And you can't help yourself You start to sing along, Lord it's been too long Come on let's raise some hell

Never saw her coming, She assassin in disguise Shoulda started running, the moment that we first caught eyes Said that I would never, go down this road Shoulda known better than to ever let her get this close She's tearing my defenses down Guess I might as well surrender now Oh she's out for blood She'll slit my throat with love Yea, come on baby Oh, assassinate me Cuz I can't run no more So do what you came here for Yea come on baby Oh, assassinate me She a cold blooded killer, she got lips like novocaine You won't even feel it, as she steals your breath away Her finger's on the trigger, no where to run With a kiss like a missile, she took me out now I'm in love She's tearing my defenses down It's too late to trying fight it now

It was a Thursday night at the local show I was playing with some bands that nobody knows When I saw her there leaning on the wall In a black leather jacket with her wayfarers on Red lipstick purple streak in her hair I said hey pretty baby can I buy you a beer She just rolled her eyes and lit a cigarette She said I take my whiskey neat if you're interested We had a couple drinks and I was talking fast Every line that I was pitching she was hitting back But I stood my ground and took her by the hand Said what's it gonna take for me to be your man She pulled her shades to the tip of her nose Grabbed my shirt and she pulled me close Said the only thing that ya need to know I love a man who knows how to rock and roll Can ya rock me all nightlong Keep my heart beating to the rhythm of your song Can ya, shake me with your soul Set me on fire with your rock and roll Well I started grinning and I gave her a wink When I heard the MC introducing me Told her, Wait here I won't long Headed for the stage and put my guitar on I turned it up and I checked the mic Said how's everybody doing tonight Here's a new one you can dance ya want This one goes out to the girl on the wall

Keeper 04:49
My baby she's a keeper Shoots her love up in my blood like she's a needle She's the rhythm to my heartbeat She's the melody in every single song I sing Down in the valley, Up on the mountain She stand by no matter where I am She's lighthouse I'm a ship at sea If my heart was a spark she's the gasoline We got something real good going on here It don't get better than this I need her love like lungs need oxygen She's a keeper, oh oh Yea she is She's a keeper, oh She's the coffee I'm a cigarette Some things are better when ya have em as a set She's the words to every song I write She's the rhythm that ya feeling as I sing this line I'm just a drunkard, She's the bourbon She keep me thirsty with her whiskey tongue She's the tempo to my rock and roll If her love was a drug I'm trying to overdose

Get Lost 04:25
I gotta 9 to 5, two kids and a wife I gotta 40 hour paycheck that gets us by AndI can't complain about my blue collar life I just can't put out the flame that's burning inside Oh Ya see, Ive been waiting patiently For the day to come when I can feed my family With this, guitar and my suitcase drum I just wanna make a living by singing these songs Oh Don't pity me, for chasing dreams That just ain't happened yet Cuz I'll be fine if tonight is the closest that I get Get lost with me, in the chorus of a song Raise up your drink, out down your phone Don't worry yourself with what tomorrow holds Let the melody just soothe your soul Don't try to think now just let go And get lost, in this rock and roll If you're wondering about the shape I'm in How after all these years I'm still trying Well it comes down to what my daddy said It ain't about where ya going it's how you get there Oh So if ya feeling me then get on your feet And dance like ya would of nobody could see And I'll sing each word like it's my last breath We can have ourselves a night that we'll never forget Oh So here's a toast, to all of those Who hear me all to well Your day will come but until does We might as well raise some hell
