Breaking Even

I woke up from a bad dream, screaming like I do
The boogie man is chasing me & also chasing you
Something I wanted to say, but I could not get it out
Smoke is filling the air tonight and the ashtray is full of doubt
Tax man is calling my name, shouting it real loud
Credit cards are upside down and your nowhere to be found
I’ll be braking even, one of these days
I’ll be breaking even and saving face
I’ll be breaking even, one of these days
I’ll be breaking even and saving face
Solo over 2 verses
Bridge – F – G -A x3, F – G – E pause
I woke up from a bad dream, screaming like I do
The boogie man is chasing me & also chasing you
Black cloud are rolling in, rain is hitting the ground
Dirt is turning to mud, quicksand is all around
I’ll be breaking even, one of these days
I’ll be breaking even and saving face
I’ll be breaking even, one of these days
I’ll be breaking even and saving face

Lonely In-Love

There’s goes the sunshine, the summer is thru
Here comes the winter wind, turning me blue
Here comes the clouds, lonely but proud
Everything is cold, lonely and true
Everything is true like me and you
Shooting for a star, that’s high in the sky
Shot myself in the foot, didn’t aim high
Looking in the mirror, you always appear
Everything is cold, lonely and true
Everything is true like me and you
In-lonely & love is what we need to be
In-lonely & love so nervously
In-lonely & love, but we’re not blue
Everything is cold, lonely and true
Everything is true like me and you
-solo- x8
- bridge – B
Come in with bass
For silence there are no rules
Only applies to the golden fools
Here comes the clouds, lonely but proud
Everything is cold, lonely and true
Everything is true like me and you

Looking For Something

Wake up & see the broken lamp
Shadows following me & the air is damp
Pages ripped out of my favorite book
I don’t dare take a look
I don’t dare take a look
Twister in the air & debris is up
Grass ain’t growing, she found a lump
New jacket needed, it full of holes & torn
I feel like screaming from a big bullhorn
I feel like screaming from a big bullhorn
I don’t remember saying sorry for nuthin’
I musta been drunk & looking for sumthin’
I don’t remember saying sorry for nuthin’
I musta been drunk & looking for sumthin’
In that state of mind there’ nothing to find
Drowning in the state of being left behind
Hazy nights turn into morning regret
Smirk on my face & no smile yet
Smirk on my face & no smile yet
Can you face it sober, friend foe or lover
Or do you have to look over your shoulder
When you see the world thru drunken eyes
Being sober can make you cry
Being sober can make you cry
I don’t remember saying sorry for nuthin’
I musta been drunk & looking for sumthin’
I don’t remember saying sorry for nuthin’
I musta been drunk & looking for sumthin’

Moving Forward

Sun keeps rising from the West I know
Happens everyday & the clock just rolls
Spinning in a circle non-stop dream
Chugging along like a washing machine
Moving forward I hate looking back
I don’t have time for the past
Moving forward I hate looking back
I don’t have time for the past
Down the highway going straight ahead
Moving from night to bed
Everyday the sun will rise
And every night the stars will shine
Moving forward I hate looking back
I don’t have time for the past
Moving forward I hate looking back
I don’t have time for the past
Like a fan blowing air straight thru the room
I aint looking back anytime soon
In a rear view mirror there’s nothing to see
Its all out front for you and me
Moving forward I hate looking back
I don’t have time for the past

Gotta Get Up

Morning papers thrown, there’s nothing to read
Nothing you can see, up on your screen
Turn the TV on, for the Monday night news
Nothing there to see, you’ll have the weekly blues
Gotta get up and do it again
Gotta get up and fight for the win
Gotta get up and beat the odds
Wipe your eyes clear so you can see thru the fog
Radio used to blast our favorite song
No one ever seems to get along
Your favorite people in you favorite magazines
Grass aint always greener and it aint what it seems
Gotta get up and do it again
Gotta get up and fight for the win
Gotta get up and beat the odds
Wipe your eyes clear so you can see thru the fog
Under the stars there’s a lot of scars
It aint easy when you’ve go to far
Shake off the dust, patch up the rust
If you want to be happy, it’s a must
Gotta get up and do it again
Gotta get up and fight for the win
Gotta get up and beat the odds
Wipe your eyes clear so you can see thru the fog

Point Blank, Tx

A tragedy that tears at the heart
I’m not sure where to start
Started out as a regular day
The devil showed up & took him away
Travel trailers & suicide
Two things I like to hide from
Travel trailers & suicide
Smoke was rising from the air
Few people saw it and few people cared
Parked in the sticks there was a trailer there
There was a man and he lived there
Chorus – Brideg F-G/ F-E-G – Solo
He had a friend and we’ll call him Tom
They were buddies from grade school on
Tom saw the smoke went to see what was wrong
He got there & now they’re both gone
Chorus
Don’t know if there’s a family don’t know what to do
Point Blank Tx I feel sorry for you
Two men killed in an afternoon
I’ll say a prayer and leave flowers for you
