You Glow - PNO/VOX (B.Corley
   
CH 1-3
You glow, girl
You’re burning even brighter      
It shows    
We're getting even tighter now     
I know, girl 
When I love you tonight you’ll glow       
Soft and low    
When you glow
(And you’ll glow)
      
V1
Like a rainy morning when the sun comes out   
Feeling so much warmer now when you’re around    
Shine it on me make me high
I guess I’m giving love one more try
  
(REPEAT CHORUS)  
 
V2
Don’t need candlelight late at night    
When I hold you in my arms, and it feels just right
What a sight you are for loving eyes  
Now I see myself in a whole new light  
 
(REPEAT CHORUS)
  
BRIDGE 
Turn it up when the sun goes down
Bring it on home girl, you turn me around  
I saw the light when I looked in your eyes
Now I realize

CH4 / SING OUT
You glow
It ain’t my imagination 
You glow
It’s the only explanation I know, girl 
When I love you tonight you’ll glow
Soft and low  
When you glow (even brighter)
I know (getting tighter)
You glow (it’s our night, girl) 
I know you're gonna love me when you glow

You Glow (B.Corley) - pno/vox demo

Woodsmoke Wisdom (B. Corley)
V1
Camping on a winter night, off the beaten path
In between tomorrow and the past
Thinking about how we turned out
Doubts creep in I can live without 
Throw ‘em all on the fire tonight
And watch it burning bright


CHORUS 
I’ll need some woodsmoke wisdom
Stiff whiskey in my hand 
Drink some more of this one   
That’s my only plan   
I need some woodsmoke wisdom    
A fire for light and heat 
What’s been done is done	
I’ll get back on my feet  
When I can 
 
V2
Wondering how it might have been, staring at the fire
Family, friends and lovers in my life
I can only breathe a sigh, separate the truth and lies
Life is just a mortal loan, there’s nothing we can truly own

CHORUS
I need my woodsmoke wisdom
Stiff whiskey in my hand
Drink some more ‘a this one
That’s my only plan 
I need some woodsmoke wisdom   
A fire for light and heat   
What’s been done is done
I’ll get back on my feet  
When I stand  

BRIDGE
Wonder sometimes
What’s really mine
 
CHORUS
I‘ll take my woodsmoke wisdom
Stiff whiskey in my hand
Think some more on this one
And be a better man
Make some woodsmoke wisdom   
A fire for light and heat
What’s been done is done
I’ll get back on my feet  
When I stand

Woodsmoke Wisdom  (B.Corley)

November Rains by Avrim Topel

The moment you picked up the phone
I knew the tone
You didn’t have to say a word
I’ve been around
long enough to know
if I am in or out

I can’t understand
why fate keeps
dealin’ me this hand
You know it
always comes up less
and never more

For I am no stranger to
these November rains
They chill my heart
my bones
my soul

Bittersweet city night
Misty mornin’
Foggy dawn
The barstools and the games
Shiny pavement
The laughter and the glow
that come from face with no names

Oh, for the life of me
I can never see
You know I always
come up less
and never more

For I am no stranger to
these November rains
They chill my heart
my bones
my soul

November Rains by Avrim Topel

A Party Of Two  (B.Corley)

We’ll make a reservation
For twenty years from now
At our favorite two top table
Away from the crowd  

A party of two
Me and you
Celebrate the crazy things we do
The life we spend together 
Through the worse and better
The love we grew 
The friendship too
We’ll make it a party of me and you
 
We’ll share a glass or two of the champagne on ice
Share a special toast with my lover and wife
Later on we’re putting on our favorite song
Playing it all night long

A party of two
Me and you
Celebrate the crazy things we do
The life we spend together 
     (Worse and better)
Through the worse and better
    (Love we grew)
The love we grew 
The friendship too
We’ll make it a party of me and you

BRIDGE
We’ll have this moment
Twenty years from now
We’ll come through 

SINGOUT
A party of two
Me and you 
Love we grew
Friendship too
Make it a party of me and you

A party of two
   (Worse and better)
Me and you
   (Love we grew)
Time we spend together
Through the worse and better.
A party we’ll be throwing going on forever

It’s a party of two
  (Worse and better)
Me and you
  (Love we grew)
Everything we share
Doing what we dare
Gonna be some partyin’ everywhere

It’s a party of two
  (Worse and better)
Me and you 
  (Love we grew)
Doing what we do
We ain’t nearly through
Making it a party for me and you

Trolling (A. Skaff/ D. Allen)

OUT FOR A DRIVE   (B.Corley)
I’ve seen everything I need to see 
In this town  
Won’t see another  sun going down
On this town
   
And all of the people
And all of their cars 
Driving to someplace for something whoever they are
And all of the drivers 
Ever alive
Are out for a drive  
Out for a drive

I dreamed there was someone in the room last night 
It seemed I was holding onto you in the night

All of the stars 
And planets aligned
Brighter than headlights as ever they shimmer and shine
All the drivers
Ever alive
Are out for a drive
But never arrive

(inst)

Everyone meanwhile
Suffers and smiles
Streaming our dreams of the scene when we drive the last mile
All of the drivers
Ever alive
Were out for a drive
Out for a  drive
Out for a drive

Out For A Drive

Out For A Drive  (B.Corley)

WRITTEN ON HIS FACE  (Bill Corley)

VERSE 1  
He lives out on an old sailing boat
Never even sailed
Drives into town on Mondays to check his mail 
Spends his nights under colored lights    
Playing in a country band
You can see there's some history behind the man   
   
Memories and enemies an d friends he left behind     
Keep him looking backwards and wasting all his time
There's every smoke he ever smoked 
And every heart he broke 
And some things he won't talk about
And you don't wanna know

CHORUS
Every line he ever crossed to get him to this place
It's written there 
Written there
On his face
   
VERSE 2 
Life was fine back in sixty-nine 
When he chose the road he's on
You could change the world with music, peace and love
Along the way there were gigs to play and bills to pay and a child 
Now he plays what he has to play to survive

Working clubs and driving trucks
And playing for the door
There's every fight he ever lost
And got up wanting more
There's long sideburns and scars he earned
And the laughing look in this eyes
When he thinks back on the good years 
With his favorite ex-wife

PRE CHORUS
There's every night that brought him to this day
And every sticker on his guitar case 
And every song he ever plays
Leaves another trace

CHORUS
Every line he ever crossed to get him to this place
It's written there 
Written there
On his face

Written On His Face

Written On His Face (B.Corley)

Writers: J4, Nancy Deckant & Eric Mallon

I’ve messed up time and time again
I say one thing; run a different direction
Lettin’ go so fast, when I shoulda went slow
Leaving no time for self reflection

No I never met somebody like you
Who gets me girl the way that you do

Chorus
(Cus) You make me wanna be, be better
And I ain’t gonna leave, leave you ever
When you put your arms around my heart, you make me
Make me wanna be, be better

You broke down all my walls with just one look
When all I saw was bad you saw the good
You deserve the kind of love you give to me
And I’ll give you my whole world
Just like I know you would

Chorus
(Cus) You make me wanna be, be better
And I ain’t gonna leave, leave you ever
When you put your arms around my heart, you make me
Make me wanna be, be better

Cus I never been with someone like you
Who gets me girl the way that you do

Chorus
(Cus) You make me wanna be, be better
And I ain’t gonna leave, leave you ever
When you put your arms around my heart, you make me
Make me wanna be, be better

Better

Side by side as always, Denton Sykes is running late
