Lyrics...

Beautiful, beautiful you struck me down,
Unleashed your weapons and here I lay now.
I'm torn to pieces with a smile on my face,
A simple distraction at the end of the race.

Beautiful, beautiful you took your time,
Picking your moments in the blink of an eye.
I'm lost without you I'm so glad you're here,
A simple distraction replacing the fear.

I'm losing control in the heat of the day,
Where once I was lonesome too scared to play.
You ran with the wolf pack, you flew with the stars,
I stood in awe as you tore me apart.

Yesterday's gone but the future looks bright,
You've changed my mind if only for tonight.
Lovin' you sweetly and lovin' you true,
My heart's beating faster if only you knew.

Beautiful, beautiful you still hang around,
I don't have money and I don't have the time right now.
I watched you floatin' in a state of grace,
Love is just a simple twist of fate.

Beautiful, beautiful holdin' my life in your hands,
You rock me like a baby till I understand.
Intoxicate my senses to a state of bliss,
The remedy enveloped in a single kiss.

I ain't fat I've just got thick skin,
It protects me from the world that we're livin' in.
I roll with the punches I duck 'n' dive,
Got my motor tickin' over tryin' to stay alive.

Yesterday's gone but the future looks bright,
You've changed my mind if only for tonight.
Lovin' you sweetly and lovin' true,
My heart's beating fast if only you knew.

Soul Rock Outlaws

Old Mr. Bad Luck

A song about finding yourself. Being lost in a room full of people. Done in 6/8 time. A good rock/blues anthem with a soft start and a big finish
