Stop Drop & Roll
(Norris, Browning, Deaton)

She’s lightin up the room now I’m feelin’ the heat
Temperature is risin to a burnin degree
Somebody fan me down I can barely breathe
The devil’s got a daughter comin’ on to me
She’s fueling a fire that could melt my soul     
I better stop, drop and roll

Stop drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
She’s dancin’ like a wildfire outta control
I gotta stop drop and roll

Red leather skirt painted on her hips
I can nearly taste the words off her cherry lips
Damn that girl’s smoking ‘bout as hot as it gets
She could almost start a fire with those fingertips
Somebody call a fireman gotta put her out
I can’t contain myself since she’s come around…I gotta

Stop drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
She’s dancin’ like a wildfire outta control
I gotta stop drop and roll

She came into the room splashin gasoline
Then she topped it off with some kerosene
I’m afraid if she ever gets a spark out of me
We’d be a match made in heaven blown to smithereens 

Stop drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
She’s dancin’ like a wildfire outta control
I gotta stop drop and roll

(Norris, Browning, Deaton)

Love Train 
(Norris, Deaton, Erwin)

So here’s the breakin news, this world is so confused
But I’m seein’ a light on down the line
If you’re feelin’ blue here’s a trip for you
Leave your baggage behind

Hey hey hey, get on the love train 
Take it to some place we’ve never been
Hey, if I had it my way
The whole world would climb aboard this open door, 
There’s room for more, 
Hey hey, get on the love train

There’s a ticket with your name inside we’re all the same
Even a child can understand
No time to separate, hurry, don’t be late
Take a stranger’s hand

Hey hey hey, get on the love train 
Take it to some place we’ve never been
Hey, if I had it my way
The whole world would climb aboard this open door, 
There’s room for more, 
Hey hey, get on the love train

Imagine a world where we embrace the beauty of our color wheel
Each of us painted children adding to life’s canvas rainbow thrill

Hey hey hey, get on the love train 
Take it to some place we’ve never been
Hey, if I had it my way
The whole world would climb aboard this open door, 
There’s room for more, 
Hey hey, get on the love train

CRAWL
(Norris, Boyd, Heinzelman)

I fly it high from this heart of mine
A flag of human pride
I don't take no lip and boy I’ll bet you this 
I ain’t scared to walk the line
Now I ain’t out to stir things up 
But push me in a corner and you’ll find

I’ll jump up, I’ll fight back 
No way in hell I’m gonna back down
Gonna dust off, pick up the slack
Draw a line and stand my ground
Go ahead and take your best shot
And I’ll take it one more round 
You can knock me down, 
Back me up against the wall
But I ain’t gonna crawl

I don’t aim to please anyone but me 
I stand by beliefs
But don’t take me wrong I ain’t too strong
To hit the hardwood on my knees
But brother let me warn ya now
I ain’t been one to turn the other cheek

I’ll jump up, I’ll fight back 
No way in hell I’m gonna back down
Gonna dust off, pick up the slack
Draw a line and stand my ground
Go ahead and take your best shot
And I’ll take it one more round 
You can knock me down, 
Back me up against the wall
But I ain’t gonna crawl
 
Now I don’t want to come off as tryin’ to act a little too tough
But if I’ve just had enough and the push comes down to shove

I’ll jump up and fight back 
No way in hell I’m gonna back down
Gonna dust off, pick up the slack
Draw a line and stand my ground
Go ahead and take your best shot
And I’ll take it one more round 
You can knock me down, 
Back me up against the wall
But I ain’t gonna crawl


CRAWL - Craig Wayne Boyd

IT'S JUST FINE
David Norris

You filled me up with your sunshine
Then you showered me in rain
You lifted me from the gutter 
Then washed me down the drain
You said that we'd be together
Then you caught the midnight train
You promised me forever 
As you Turned away
Fooled again but I still pretend
That it's just fine

You took me over the rainbow
But your colors seemed to fade
When you found no pot of gold
Did it shatter the dreams
Fooled again but I still pretend
That it's just fine

Am I out of my mind to think there was something there?
To think without a car that everything's just fine?
When will I ever learn, the moment the tables turn
Everything's just fine


It's Just Fine - words & music By David Norris

God Made You Cheat (Norris, Brandt)

FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS 
(David Norris & Bobby Terry)

Ya said you no longer love me
Cause you just can’t trust me no more
I can’t say that I blame ya
For all the times that I shamed you before
Prayin’ won’t fix it, even God he ain’t listenin’
And I’m getting’ desperate to find some redemption…redemption

So I’m goin’ down to the crossroads
Gonna trade in this heart breakin’ heart
Hell only knows how low I’ll go
To find my way back to your arms
Oh, I don’t want a deal with the devil
But Lord he’s the one that got me in this
And I’d sell my soul for your forgiveness

I feel like I’ve lost
More than it’ll cost me somehow
But it’ll worth the risk
To just feel you kiss me right now
I know I should be patient but time is a-wastin’
And here I go again givin’ into temptation…temptation

I’m goin’ down to the crossroads
Gonna trade in this heart breakin’ heart
Hell only knows how low I’ll go
To find my way back to your arms
Oh, I don’t want a deal with the devil
But Lord he’s the one that got me in this
And I’d sell my soul for your forgiveness

No I don’t want a deal with the devil
But Lord he’s the one that got me in this
And I’d sell my soul for your forgiveness


For Your Forgiveness - words & music by David Norris & Bobby Terry

IN A LOVER'S DREAM
(Norris, McGeary)

In the corner of my eye’s a silhouette
Behind the shower curtain soaking wet
She reaches out her hand the games begin
Invites me with here finger and draws me in

As I touch her, it all becomes surreal
Still I wonder, if I’m under her sweet spell
Please don’t wake me, I’m starting to believe
Can you blame me for wanting to be
In a lover’s dream

Let’s say we take it to another room
Or somewhere counting stars ‘neath a lover’s moon
As long as we’re together I don’t mind
Cause let’s face it girl, this dream is mine

As I touch her, it all becomes surreal
Still I wonder, if I’m under her sweet spell
Please don’t wake me, I’m starting to believe
Can you blame me for wanting to be
In a lover’s dream

As we toss and turn beneath the sheets
I hear you say you love me in every breath you breathe
Whispering softly saying, “Baby, never leave”
I’m all your…but

Please don’t wake me, I’m starting to believe
Can you blame me for wanting to be
In a lover’s dream


In A Lover's Dream - words & music by David Norris & Tim McGeary

Bigger Dreams (than This Small Town)

FAMOUS FOR SOMETHING 
words & music by David Norris & George Boettcher

I was just a child, a mind gone wild
Starry-eyed makin’ mama smile
Actin’ just like James Dean up there on the silver screen
I’d play a tennis racket, gettin’ down
Like a rock star bigger than this small town
Dreamin’ I’d be seen on the cover of a magazine
But it seems the lord had different plans for me
And looking back I wouldn’t change a thing
Cause right now…

I’m the captain of the bowling team
Third year coach of the little league
And I take ‘em out for pizza every time they win
I’m a fire fightin’ volunteer
Chili cook-off man of the year
I’m a father, I’m a brother, I’m a husband, I’m a friend 
A home town hero livin’ the dream
Guess I’m famous for somethin’ 

Looking back I just have to laugh
Can’t picture me signin’ autographs
But I can’t deny it’d sure be nice bein’ chased by pretty girls
Then I see my wife lyin’ there in bed
And I hear that voice inside my head
Sayin’, wake up boy come back down you’re livin in another world
I realize everything is meant to be
I may not be the richest man but I got everything I need

I’m the captain of the bowling team
Third year coach of the little league
And I take ‘em out for pizza every time they win
I’m a fire fightin’ volunteer
Chili cook-off man of the year
I’m a father, I’m a brother, I’m a husband, I’m a friend 
A home town hero livin’ the dream
Yeah I’m famous for somethin’ 

I may not be a celebrity but I think I’ve fooled the kids
I don’t need no fancy limousine to prove I’ve made it big

I’m the captain of the bowling team
Third year coach of the little league
And I take ‘em out for pizza every time they win
I’m a fire fightin’ volunteer
Chili cook-off man of the year
I’m a father, I’m a brother, I’m a husband, I’m a friend 
A home town hero livin’ the dream
Yeah I’m famous for somethin’ 


Famous For Something

DEAR LOVE
words & music by David Norris and Warren Sellers

Dear love
Thanks for stopping in
I hope you will again
But not right now

Dear love
It was real good ride we had
But we crashed and burned so bad 
For crying out loud

I'm sure that you mean well
But I gotta break this spell
As hard as it is to breathe
I just need to be by myself
So please don't interfere
Dear love
Dear love 
You're not welcome here

Dear love
You could have let me be
So why’d you lie to me
And leave me cryin’?

Dear love
I don't need your help
Cause I fell for someone else
I'd be lyin’

I'm sure that you mean well
But I gotta break this spell
As hard as it is to breathe
I just need to be by myself
So please don't interfere
Dear love
Dear love 
You're not welcome here

As easy as it was to fall
It's harder to forget
And if I'm being honest 
I kind of wish we never met 

Dear love
Thanks for stopping in
I hope you will again
But not right now

Dear Love

Bury Me In Bakersfield
(Clayton, Norris)
 
I was raised in a boxcar
With an old beat up guitar
Stirrin up a dustbowl
In every town I played
I saw the signs on the highway
But hell bent to do it my way
And the road that I was on
Might lead me to an early grave
And mama cried
Lord knows she tried
 
And these ol’ bones are gettin’ rusty
And my mind’s a little hazy
But I still take the stage like I was young
And even though this heart is weary
And my eyes are getting’ blurry
The songs I wrote are rollin’ off my tongue
But when this ramblin’ fever finally heals
You can bury me in Bakersfield
 
I’ve been an outlaw and a troubadour
Paved my way with just three chords
But good times are bound to end
And when it’s all said and done
Don’t matter much of nothin’
When you’re on the highway runnin’
You’ll always find yourself
Back where you started from
And if I’m stoned
Sing me back home
 
These ol’ bones are gettin’ rusty
And my mind’s a little hazy
But I still take the stage like I was young
And even though this heart is weary
And my eyes are getting’ blurry
The songs I wrote are rollin’ off my tongue
But when this ramblin’ fever finally heals
You can bury me in Bakersfield
 
I was just another sinner
Who led a bunch of strangers
But I’ll waltz into heaven
The last time I tip my hat

Bury Me In Bakersfield - (Clayton, Norris)

words & music by Jack Clayton and David Norris

Down To My Last Prayer (Clayton, Norris)

CARNIVAL
(Norris, Greene, Hale)

Look, here comes the train
The carnival’s come to town
Join in the parade
Everyone loves a clown

Promising to take 
All our cares away
Where there’s smoke there’s mirrors
When the carnival appears

Once every four years
Walking upon a wire 
They'll say what you wanna hear
Juggling hope and fire

Promising to take 
All our cares away
Where there’s smoke there’s mirrors
When the carnival appears

Step right up your puppet talks
High up on the mighty soap box
Who's the next king of the hill
The one who wields the highest stilts
 
Look, there goes the train
The carnival’s leaving town
Somethings never change
On this merry-go-round

Carnival (Norris, Greene, Hale)

I Wish You Were Me
(Norris, Underwood, Rice)

Once again your kiss has left me breathless
After all this time, ain't no surprise
It still leaves me powerless
But it feels so right, baby close your eyes
And slip into my dream
Yeah it's times like these I wish you were me cause...

You would feel my heartbeat gain speed
Faster than a beaming light from the grill 
of a 4-wheel drive
Head spins, shakin’
Only thought is makin’ love to you
All through the night
I get so high when I 
Look into your green eyes
I wish you could see what my eyes see
Cause baby, It's times like these
I wish you were me

If we could trade places for just an evening
I know damn well, the way you felt
Would be exactly how I'm feeling
You couldn't get enough of how we touch
And your body would come alive
Cause girl I know what I like
And you wouldn't have to read my mind

You would feel my heartbeat gain speed
Faster than a beaming light from the grill 
of a 4-wheel drive
Head spins, shakin’
Only thought is makin’ love to you
All through the night
I get so high when I 
Look into your green eyes
I wish you could see what my eyes see
Cause baby, It's times like these
I wish you were me

I Wish You Were Me (Norris, Underwood, Rice)

Cruisin’ the Boulevard
(Norris, Underwood, Rice)

Left a little dust
Across the county line
Fifty miles to a good time
Passed around a hat
Just enough for gas
To get us there and maybe back
But nobody minds

We got our cruise on
Where the night is always young
And we'll be takin bets
On who's the first to fall in love
Cause there's a girl on every corner
That waves as we roll by
And they're all lookin’ pretty
Beneath the city lights
So crank a little Zeppelin
It's all about girls and guitars
When you're cruisin’ the boulevard

There's a world of difference
Right down the road
When small town boys wanna rock & roll
Cause Dairy Queen on Saturday night
Don't quite cut it
So we blow that one stoplight

And get our cruise on
Where the night is always young
Yeah, we'll be takin bets
On who's the first to fall in love
Cause there's a girl on every corner
That waves as we roll by
And they're all lookin’ pretty
Beneath the city lights
So crank a little Zeppelin
It's all about girls and guitars
When you're cruisin’ the boulevard
 
We're cooler than cool, everybody knows
We're a party on wheels pushin’ steel and chrome

When we get our cruise on
Night’s young
Long before we see the sun
We'll have to convince someone
They didn't fall in love
Cause there's a girl on every corner
That waves as we roll by
And they're all lookin’ pretty
Underneath the city lights
So Crank up some Zeppelin
It's all about girls and guitars
When you're cruisin’ the boulevard
