VERSE
Dearest, darlingest Johnny B Goode
I’m writing to you coz I think that I would
Make a good match for you ya see
I play the acoustic guitar and I sing 

CHORUS
Together we’ll make a brilliant band
Just a woman and her man
My name may not be up in lights 
But Johnny dear will you B. Mine?

VERSE
Under the evergreen’s mighty shade 
We’ll strum to the rhythm the both of us make 
Passers by will smile and say
My those musical lovers can play 

CHORUS
Together we’d make a brilliant band
Just a woman and her man
My name may not be up in lights 
But Johnny dear will you B. Mine?

VERSE
One day you’ll take me to meet your ma
In the cabin that’s made out of earth and logs 
We’ll play for her til the sun goes down 
She’ll clap and cheer to her favourite sounds 

CHORUS
Together we’d make a brilliant band
Just a woman and her man
My name may not be up in lights 
But Johnny dear will you B. Mine?

I’ll carry your guitar for you 
I’ll teach you to read a book or two 
I may not play like I’m ringing a bell 
But I’ll make sure I love you well 

Dearest, darlingest Johnny B Goode
I’m writing to you coz I think that I would
Make a good match for you ya see
I play the acoustic guitar and I sing

Johnny B. Mine

SOMEHOW SOMETHING SOMEWHERE 
(c) 2018 Cooper/Jones
 
Once upon a life I led so many years ago
I threw out all my baggage from the train
Resolved that it was only what I carried in my heart
That I needed with me just to ease the pain
Takin’ what was offered from the church and charities
Sleepin’ underneath the stars at night
I was free to come and go - with nobody else in tow
And somehow something somewhere felt alright
And somehow something somewhere felt alright

Then as my bones began to rattle and my brain began to fry
The wanderlust turned into weariness
What I was runnin’ from was now sunken in the past
And my eyes took on a shade of bleariness
The wind had howled for too long through the alleyways and barns
I’d flown too near the sun burning so bright
So I put my anchor down – in a little Southern town
And somehow something somewhere felt alright
And somehow something somewhere felt alright
 
With a fresh sense of contentment I embraced a new routine
Built some friendships like I’d never done before
Worked upon the land and began to pay my way
Then one mornin’ you walked up to my front door  
As we got to talkin’ and sharin’ all our stories
The afternoon turned slowly into night
And you stayed here with me – where you will always be
And somehow something somewhere felt alright
Yes you stayed here with me – where you will always be
And somehow something somewhere felt alright

Somehow Something Somewhere

ASK YOUR HEART 
(c) 2018 Cooper/Jones
 
You want my advice
‘Cos you’re thinkin’ twice
Whether to stay or whether to go
You’re havin’ last thoughts
Feelin’ out of sorts
So turn to the place that will know
 
CHORUS
Ask your heart what it feels
And the answer it reveals
Will be the right one for you
So Honey… ask your heart what to do
 
VERSE
You’ve met someone else
Who let’s you be yourself
That old passion in you sure has been stirred
It’s so hard to chose
There’s so much to lose
So look within for the final word
 
CHORUS
Ask your heart what it feels
And the answer it reveals
Will be the right one for you
So Honey… ask your heart what to do

BRIDGE 
Ask your heart what to do 
Whenever you can’t decide
And your heart’ll speak true 
No that can’t be denied

DROP
 
CHORUS
Ask your heart what it feels
And the answer it reveals
Will be the right one for you
So Honey ask your heart what to do

Ask Your Heart

CH:
I’m not sure if you like me
Not sure if you care
Not sure if there is
A true heart beating there
I’m not sure of your motives
Not sure of your plan
Not sure if you like me
Or just want a one night stand
 
V1:
I don’t come here that often
I don’t quite know the score
I don’t normally drink so much
But want to drink some more
I see the crowd all dancing
And hear the music soar
I want to so believe you
But I don’t know anymore
 
CH:
I’m not sure if you like me
Not sure if you care
Not sure if there is
A true heart beating there
I’m not sure of your motives
Not sure of your plan
Not sure if you like me
Or just want a one night stand
 
V2:
I don’t know your story
I barely know your name
I feel out of my depth a little
Tryin’ to play this game
I’d like to get to know you
Before we carry on
I’ll close my eyes a moment
Then see if you are gone
 
CH:
I’m not sure if you like me
Not sure if you care
Not sure if there is
A true heart beating there
I’m not sure of your motives
Not sure of your plan
Not sure if you like me
Or just want a one night stand
Not sure if you like me
Or just want a one night stand
