I'D TRADE TEXAS

Will I ever move on.mp3

Verse)
You ran away 
And you Let me down
In the tears I shed
I could surely drown
Guess it wasn't in...
The stars above 
But it felt so right 
When we made love

(chorus)
The way it felt
The way You looked
As I held you close
The way your..... body shook
When we kissed
Girl I knew
That I was meant to be with you
The way it felt the way you looked 
The way your..... body shook
The way your..... body shook

(Verse)
Now the only thing 
I have left
Is a picture of you
On the shelf
Shattered dreams 
Turned my world blue
Makes me wonder
Can love be true

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
Guess it wasn't in... 
The stars above
But it felt so right 
When we made love 

(Repeat Chorus)
(Tag)
The way it felt the way you looked 
As I held you close the way your..... body shook 
The way your.....body shook

The Way Your body shook.mp3

DISCONNECTED

I'm a 21st Century guy with a watch and a phone
Tablet and a desktop screen if I'm ever at home
World-wide web on my wrist, trusty Virtual Assist-ant
To remind me if there's anything going on

Whatever I need to know is right here in my hand
Find my way 'cross town with a simple command
Tracks every single street I cross, so how could I be so lost 
Without you ... Without you 

Chorus :	I'm disconnected - ever since you've been gone
So disconnected - my math seems to come out wrong
I'm disconnected – wish I could plug back in
But I'm stuck offline 'til you come back again

Asked the best AI server that I could hack
What chance there was that I could win you back
Near as I can tell, it simply said "no way in Hell"
Nothing else it could say, so this is how I'll stay

Disconnected

(Chorus)
I'm gonna write a new song 

You look so good there in the candlelight
You're my inspiration every thought and prayer
I need your kisses like I need the morning air
Yeah I'm gonna write a new song tonight 
Somewhere in that song I'll be holding you tight 
I'm gonna write a new song tonight 

(Verse)
I'll write about the way you look 
In those tight blue jeans 
About the way you took 
Me to heaven in my dreams 
About you Sittin at a table 
Sippin on a drink 
As I stand there tellin you 
My heart's on the brink 
That I'm falling for you like a star from above 
Baby there's no doubt I'm falling in love 

(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse)
I'll write about the time 
I asked you to dance 
How I prayed to God 
You'd give me the chance 
The way it felt holding 
you in my arms 
How I was captivated 
by your beauty and charms 
How you looked into my eyes whispered something sweet 
The way we woke up tangled in the sheets 

(Bridge)
I'll write you into my life 
Write you down as my wife 

(Last Chorus)
I'm gonna write a new song tonight 
About a feeling that feels so write 
You're my inspiration every 
Thought and prayer 
I need your kisses like I need the morning air
Yeah I'm gonna write a new song tonight 
Somewhere in that song I'll be holding you tight 
I'm gonna write a new song tonight 
(Tag)
I'm gonna write a new song 
I'm gonna write a new song 
I'm gonna write a new song tonight

I’m gonna write a new song.mp3

Goodnight Sunday

I can always tell it's Monday
All those Monday things to do
Dishes, laundry
Always there for you
Organize the week, start your life anew
Every Monday

Tuesday or a Wednesday
Even Thursday all the same
Falling outta bed to face 
Whatever comes my way
Morning 'til the evening 'til I finally fade away
Just another hum-drum day

Friday I'll be hoping
When my week o' work is done
I'll have Friday night to frolic
But my energy is gone
So I sink into the sofa with TV droning on
That's my Friday

CHORUS:
	I like - Saturday mornings, I like Saturday chores
	Back-porch afternoon nap is what a Saturday's for
	Sunday – time with your friends, Sunday - wishing the day’d never end
	Hit the pillow satisfied and grateful, singing Goodnight Sunday

Instrumental verse,  Chorus, then tag:

	Hit the pillow satisfied and grateful, Goodnight Sunday
Goodnight Sunday
Goodnight Sunday




Goodnight Sunday-002

Long Long Road

It’s gonna be a long day
Another hot one
So far to go
Short time to get there
It's a long walk
Underneath a hot sun
I miss my honey so
All I want is to get back home

Doesn't seem so long ago
I set out on a dusty road
Didn't know what I was lookin' for
Knew I had to find it
Any place that I could go
Anywhere across the globe
Bumps and bruises took a toll
Really didn't mind it.

'til I was standing strong and tall
Grateful, knowing it was finally worth it all…

      On a long walk
     Underneath a hot sun
     That's just what it takes
     Travelin' that long, long road

Why not give it all you can
That's the only way that I found out who I am

     On a long walk
     Underneath a hot sun
     That's just what it takes
     Travelin' that long, long road


Long Long Road

When I'm in a room with you
I can hardly talk
Then you leave me breathless
With the way you walk

(Chorus)
Is it love or is lust how do I know how do I trust
The way I feel cause it's unreal
Everytime I'm next to you
When I look into those baby blues
It's like a dream coming true
Everytime I'm next to you
Everytime I'm next to you

(Verse)
I know you're a lot younger
Guessing twenty three
But I always notice
The way you look at me

(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
When I feel your soft hands 
On my skin
I have to ask this question 
Once again

(Last Chorus)
Is it love or is lust how do I know how do I trust
The way I feel cause it's unreal
Everytime I'm next to you
When I look into those baby blues
I wonder what you're thinking too
Is it love or is lust how do I know how do I trust
The way you feel when you blush
Everytime I'm next to you
Everytime I'm next to you

(Tag)
Everytime Everytime Everytime....
I'm next to you

Every Time I’m Next to You .mp3

11 -  Sport

Mr. Jim would walk in to our hardware store
He sold us paint and stuff when we needed more
A dirty joke for dad, no matter the day
“Not for your ears” is what he’d say

He was big like Mr. French and chewed cigars
Left the stubs lying around, so freakin’ bizarre
I’d find them with the rakes, tees, and nails
Grab ‘em all up and drop ‘em in a pail

	“Sport”
	“Good work you’re doing today”
	“Not much of it, but what you do is good”
	“Good work, sport”

Our families hung out with a few other friends
Women would yammer, so did the men
Cookouts in summer, big picnic spreads
No matter what, Mr. Jim often said 

	“Sport”
	“Good work you’re doing today”
	“Not much of it, but what you do is good”
	“Good work, sport”

 		Can’t say I warmed up to him
		Back in the 60s we were passe
		Kids were kids and we got in the way

	“Sport”
	“Good work you’re doing today”
	“Not much of it, but what you do is good”
	“Good work, sport”
	Sport

You Know It’s A Monday.mp3

Believe it or not,  this song was intended as a pop song, but as any songwriter knows a song will take on a life of its own and decides for itself what it will be. This song about coming home is relatable to many people I believe, because there is no better feeling at the end of a long stressful day than coming home.  Music and Lyrics by Kate Kastorff and I own all rights to any publication of this song.
