'Cool Whip' by Jesse Roper
From his upcoming album 'Horizons'

Snoopy roll hard he's got low car kicking on ground effects and zenith
Carburetors cleanest of the bunch have you seen it
A real Lamborghini of the wide wide treads with the cars
And they whip right side,
he whip right side

Snoopy like to drift heck it’s slick have you seen it
Nobody needs it but he’s got something special something extra have to seen it
A brand new jalopy of the wide wide whip and slide cool little whip now

*It’s a cool little whip now
It’s slow as the mist now
It’s a cool little whip now
It can’t be missed now

What a car

Snoopy got a girl got a girl go she wear it in her hair back honey
Nice tight bunny, in the seats wrapped up in the belts protect
Got to get her home before her makeups wrecked
She’s got the waist up high jeans with the heels
And she know’s what she means when she tells him she feels
Right, at, home in his car, It’s a cool little whip 

*Chorus

As he drives by the people say to themselves
Hey

Lyrics
Does anybody know, or have the time
Does anybody know that girl of mine
Has anybody seen her
Has she gone away
If anybody talks to her
Please send her my way

Now I heard, she was hanging around
With some other lover, on this end of town
Now maybe its a rumour, people telling a lie
No maybe she’s not, with some other guy

Ive gotta know right away
Because I can’t spend another day

*Does anybody know, where my babe is
Does anybody know, where my babe is

Angel of mercy, could you come on down
Sit yourself beside me, on my humble ground
Oh I’m gonna ask a question, and I need you to say
You’re gonna bring her back to me, by the end of the day

Ive gotta know right away
Because I can’t spend another day

*Chorus

Does Anybody Know

*She got a hold on me
She got a hold on me
She got a hold on me
She got a grip like a vice on my heart and my soul
Love the little lady till the day I am old
Dead, gone and rotten
Known it since the day we met

True love was a fable
Or so I thought
Just a nice little children's story
And then I got caught
No one could’ve saved me
I couldn’t have known
The most powerful force in the world had just entered my home

I was living in denial
No way no how
I was a man with a plan on a mission
no one’s stopping me now
And then I submitted
And it all became
And from that moment on I was never ever the same

*Chorus

Through all of the good times
And all of the bad
Through all of the tears in the eyes and the arguments
We ever had
I know with my beating heart
Id do it all again
Such a nice little children’s story
Such a nice little children’s story

I’ve got a woman got a hold on me
I've got a woman got a hold on me
I’ve got a woman got a hold on me
I’ve got a woman got a hold

*Chorus

Hold On Me

Lyrics
I used to worship you babe
Let there be no doubt
I promised to love you forever
And I would’ve seen that out
But now you walk from me babe 
I hope it all works out

But do you remember the days
I would roll over 
And you and I would stretch every moment
In hopes they would never be over. 
Now you walk from me babe
I hope it all works out

Now I ain’t gonna wait for you babe 
But I am not gonna lie
I’ll probably have my phone close
Close by my side
In hopes that you will call back to me babe
And make it all work out

Make It All Work Out

Throw This Rope

Here we go again 
Here we go again
Where’d ya go, how’ve you been
Sure is nice to see you again
Why you looking at me, like you do
Awww girl what’d I do to upset you


There you go, you’re at it again
Taking big ole shots at my chin
You work hard to push me away
And then you tell me all you want is for me to stay


Chorus*
You make me love you
And when I do
You treat me like I’m
I’m at the bottom of your shoe
I’m not your enemy
Just wanna be your man
And all I wind up feeling
Is I’m your washed up hopes 
Crumpled up and tossed in the trash can
Where’d you go
How’ve you been
Are you really, just gonna start back here again
She says, well I heard you seeing somebody new
Well ya baby but, so we’re you!
There you go, you’re at it again
Taking big ole shots at my chin
You work hard to push me away
And then you tell me all you want is for me to stay
Chorus*
You make me love you
And when I do
You treat me like I’m
I’m at the bottom of your shoe
I’m not your enemy
Just wanna be your man
And all I wind up feeling
Is I’m your washed up hopes 
Crumpled up and tossed in the trash can

Stranger
I'm traveling on and on and on and on and on and on.. 
Can you point me
To the sweet green fields and the ever blue sky
Because I woke this morning in the hurricanes eye

Young traveler
The path you seek is in the heart you deny
Go look there
You might be surprised at the treasure you find
I remember being you're age and completely blind
Your compass is broken and it points to the sky
You're always gonna wake in the hurricanes eye

Stranger
I'm traveling on and on and on and on and on on and on
Because m feet are itchy and I don't wanna die
Stranded one morning in the hurricanes eye

Way down in the valley
Right near to the sea 
I live with my baby
And we do as we please

Way down in the valley
There’s a place beneath the sky
Where the rivers flow and 
And the gardens grow yes
And the lovin takes me oh so high

*Chorus
Whatever the world gonna do with itself
However the times gonna reveal themselves
I’m gonna live with my baby there
And I’m gonna love her
And I’m gonna love her

Way down in the valley
There’s a place deep in my soul
Where the dears roam now 
And the sun shines hey
And I call this place my lovin home

*Chorus

What do you do in the valley
We go walking hand and hand by the river side
What do you see in the valley
Nature baby. Separating us from the rabble down the road

Hail Mary

There’s a train on the tracks in a sleepy little town in Georgia. 
There’s a man in the shadows standing just off to the side
Ain’t quite sure what he’s gonna do 
Grab onto that ladder and climb onto 
That train going fast through the sleepy little town in Georgia 


Mary Cottonmouth Jane stares down at her belly
Thinks about the baby that’s growing inside
Ain’t quite sure what she’s gonna do
Doesn’t know that her man is standing next to 
That train going fast through the sleepy little town in Georgia. 


Pastor Dan Jim he’s the very strict father of Mary
Made sure she knew all the laws. 
But laws are hard to follow and everyone knows
You hold somebody down pretty soon they wanna go to that train rolling fast through the sleepy little town in Georgia


Now Kevin he’s the boyfriend of Mary Cottonmouth Jane
Thinks about the baby that’s growing inside
Ain’t quite sure what he wanna do
Better make his mind up quick if he wanna hop to 
That train going fast through that sleepy little town in Georgia.

Georgia Train

True lovin' isn’t easy babe
Ya we know that well
We lived it firsthand and did all the things that true lovers do
Thought it’d be easy babe.
Thought we’d always be under that spell
But we came out, looked around
Thought what the hell

But we’re back
Thought it would be easy
But the darkest hours are gone
Ya the darkest hours are gone
Oh but we’re back
Thought it would be easy
But the darkest hours are gone.

Oh Lordy praise be to love and all the good things whew!

True lovin isn’t easy
Ya nobody could’ve prepared me for that. 
Ya nobody could’ve told me it’d work out that way and gave me believe them
Because I remember the moment.
When we decided to jump in all the way
And it seemed then, there’d be no obstacle we couldn’t jump over together.
I was wrong.

But we’re back
Thought it would be easy
But the darkest hours are gone
Ya the darkest hours are gone
Oh but we’re back
Thought it would be easy
But the darkest hours are gone.

True lovin isn’t easy
It’s a rule and a fact and a law
And of all the good things you can have in this world, it’s the very best of all
But we’re back
I thought it would be easy
But the darkest times are gone
The darkest times are gone

But we’re back
Thought it would be easy
But the darkest hours are gone
Ya the darkest hours are gone
Oh but we’re back
Thought it would be easy
But the darkest hours are gone.

True Lovin' Ain't Easy

Suntan Woman

Breezy little lady got the boys in tow
Laughing and grinning she’s a woman who knows 
she’s got the kinda thing that make the boys go wild
Dragging their tongues like a baby child
Hair just blowing in the coconut breeze 
Anything she wants she just has to say please
Tempting little lady with an easy life mind and she’s staring at me


Chorus*
Danger
D-danger


Now I can play the guitar on the radio
And I can make her move in a couple of notes 
I know I got the thing that could drive her wild
I don’t have no money but I might in time
I’ve got a mind full of fantasy 
Thinking to myself she’s a wife to be 
Picturing her naked on a sandy beach and she’s staring at me right now


*chorus


I’ve got a mind full of fantasy
Thinking to myself she’s a wife to be
Picturing her naked on a sandy beach 
And she’s staring at me right now


*chorus

Danger

Jesse Roper's song Cupid record at Bear Creek with Ryan Hadlock (Vance Joy, The Lumineers, G. Love, Brandi Carlile and more)

Lyrics
Cupid shot an arrow and it landed quite deep in the palm of my calloused hand
I tried to pull it out but it wouldn't seem to budge so I left it to stand
over the next few weeks a change came about me that I really didn't understand
but it doesn't take long for a feeling that strong to completely overtake a man

Oooohhh and I felt it, The feeling wouldn't go away
so I told the young cupid that she must take it back
I know its going to cause me pain
But the arrow found its way from my hand into my heart
and it buried down as deep as it could
And it determined the way that I lived each day and i do remember feeling good

Run away from your home you might make it
Run away from your heart and you will always look behind
I tried to love you but I felt like you wouldn't take it
and now the arrows gone through my heart
and I'm crying

Once upon a time there was a pearly white castle in the hills overlooking the sea
and all the people in the town and the villages around they all remarked it as the place of their dreams
Oh but what they didn't know is that once inside, the castle it was in disrepair 
the king in a rage went and flew his pearly cage and he left his lovely queen there  

Run away from your home you might make it
Run away from your heart and you will always look behind
I tried to love you but I felt like you wouldn't take it
and now the arrows gone through my heart

Run away from your home you might make it
Run away from your heart and you will always look behind
I tried to love you but I felt like you wouldn't take it
and now the arrows gone through my heart
and now the arrows gone through my poor poor heart
and now the arrows gone through my heart
and Im cryin

The Hockey Song

I wrote this while I was on the road with Big Wreck driving through the rockies and I was happy as a clam.
Hope you dig it!

Lyrics
Well the mountains look like marshmallows roasting in the sun
The sky is blue as it ever was and lord my journey’s begun
I’m drivin’ east
Driving east
Im driving east

The miles pass like threads of hope weaving through destiny 
And I am hoping on a bigger plan to make some room for me
I’m driving east
Driving east
I’m driving east
To where the meadows, reach the sun
Im driving east

Theres a girl who lives in Saskatoon, says that she knows me well
I hope she brings out a hundred friends oh but you never can tell
Ive learned to never place my faith in hop but what I have
But I cross my fingers, everyday a little luck wouldn’t hurt half bad
I’m driving east
To freedom
Im driving east

Well Im kicking rocks through Winnipeg, My fingers are bare and cold
I find a new pair of mittens just lying on the side of the road
And as my hands warm a bit I think about a girl back home
And if she’s there, when I get back, I’ll never leave her alone 
Im driving east 
To freedom
Im driving east

Drivin' East

From Jesse Roper's upcoming album 'Horizons'
Recorded by Gus Van Go and Werner F at Boiler Room Studios

Lyrics

In the streets of Manhattan
Straight across to LA
You hear the whispers floating through the breeze
Divided for another day

Right Now
The people they are talking
Right Now
The word is on the streets
Right Now
It’s splashed across the papers saying  “This is our Man and this what he tweets

La Da Lada Da x 3
This is our nation divided for another day

From the tip top Canada
Down to Mexico
Across the world they’re all paying attention
Everybody wonders how this going to go

Cause Right now
There’s families being parted
Right now
They’re talking about a wall
Right Now
They’re playing with the fates saying  “This is our Man and this his call”

La Da Lada Da x 3
This is our nation divided for another day
La Da Lada Da x 3
This is our world divided for another day

Right now
The threats are going viral
Right now
There’s families being torn
Right now
Masses they are shouting “Left, Right, Rich, Poor”
Right Now

They’re yelling in the senate
Right Now
They say they’re going to impeach
Right Now
It’s all good chaos
Right Now
La Da Lada Da x 3
This is our leader and this what he speaks
La Da Lada Da x 3
This is our world divided for another day.

Right Now

Theres never been a war caused by kindness 
Theres never been wound suffered by acceptance and compromise 
Theres never been a life taken by the use of an open mind 
But it seems like understanding is hard to find

  I read about a man who suffered for what he believed in 
He dreamed about a day that’d bring equality to human kind 
Somebody shot the man down, for the thoughts in his mind  

What happened to understanding 
What about the dream of love 
Never did the act of sharing this whole world 
Cause humanity to fall  

* I just wanna live my life on the bright side 
I wanna choose to believe, in the quality of human kind 
Because there’s going to be some hard times 
Somethings got to push me through the night
 I just want to live, I just want to survive this old world 
I just want to live, on the bright side

  Now we around the world, know the feeling of mistrust 
Its been bred throughout the centuries, and human lives 
But we’ve got to break this chain if we ever gonna, 
Continue as a civilization no 
Got to break this chain, or just, deepen the divide  

Now maybe theres a heaven up above or on the other side 
And maybe theres a god, who knows that we ain’t never gonna understand, or get along 
No we can't conceive to living like the one who calls the shots without the open mind 
Cause what about our children, how they gonna survive 
What about your brothers and sisters now, you gonna wait for them to change the tide  

* I just wanna live my life on the bright side
 I wanna choose to believe, in the quality of human kind 
Because there’s going to be some dark times in the fight, to survive 
Cause what if theres no heaven 
What if theres no God 
What if theres no understanding 
What this is all about   

*Maybe we could live this life on the bright side 
And maybe we could choose to believe, in the in the goodness of human kind Because there’s going to be some hard times Somethings got to push us through the night 
I just want to live, I just want all of us to survive this old world
 I just want to live, and die, on the bright side
