My Name Is

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

Assassinate Me

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

Girl On The Wall
03:53

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
