Break or a Break Up (Marvin Shelton)

Verse 1
You grabbed your keys, took some things
In such a rush you forgot your ring
Yeah, you left in your truck
leaving nothing of us but the dust
You never cried, never yelled
Didn’t say to just go to Hell…
…So I gotta know, how’s this all gonna go?

CHORUS
Is there a chance we can make up?
Cuz' I don’t want to wake up
Alone in a bed, without you by my side
Are you just out with friends?
Trying on being single for pretends
I just want one more chance to make it right
So, I’m asking you, are we out of love?
Ooooo, Is this a break or a breakup?

Verse 2
Word got out around town
No one’s talking, they just turn around
won’t look me in the eyes
They know something bout you and I
I don’t know where to begin
Can we start over? Is this where we end?
…I just wanna know,(I just wanna know) 
how’s this all gonna go?

CHORUS
Is there a chance we can make up?
Cuz' I don’t want to wake up
Alone in a bed, without you by my side
Are you just out with friends?
Trying on being single for pretends
I just want one more chance to make it right
So, I’m asking you, are we out of love?
Ooooo, Is this a break or a breakup?

CHORUS 2
Is there a chance we can make up?
Cuz' I don’t want to wake up
Alone in a bed, I need you by my side
I promise I’ll love you
This is something we’ll get through
We’ve only got one chance to get this right
So, I’m asking you, are we out of love?
Ooooo, Is this a break or a breakup?
Is this a break...or a breakup?

Break or a Break up

Kiss My Past
M. Shelton-ASCAP

Verse 1-
Oh, hey! I didn’t see you! Yeah, it’s been a while
How am I doing? Can’t you tell by my smile?
It’s nothing but blue, blue skies everyday

Verse 2-
You’ve heard that I go out way too much
And sometimes I’m late for my job and such
It’s a damn good thing it ain’t your business anyway

CHORUS
Since you left, I’ve had me some ups and downs
I still ain’t got it all figured out
And I don’t need you up in here judging me like that
If you don’t like the choices I made, kiss my past

Verse 3-
Oh hey, c’mon now. No need to get upset
You and I were never picture perfect
Hell, I bet we’re both better off today

CHORUS
Since you left, I’ve had me some ups and downs
I still ain’t got it all figured out
And I don’t need you up in here judging me like that
If you don’t like the choices I made, kiss my past

Musical break

Bridge
Take the memory of me in a soft embrace.
That’s the last you’re ever gonna see of my pretty face

CHORUS
Since you left, I’ve had me some ups and downs
I still ain’t got it all figured out
And I don’t need you up in here judging me like that
So, if you don’t like the choices I made
You can waltz your backside away
Yeah, if you don’t like the choices I made, kiss my past
You can kiss my past
Just kiss my past

Kiss My Past!

[Verse 1]
When you and I met for the first time
Oh how I tried so hard to catch your eye
I knew what we had was real
That’s still the way I feel

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go

[Verse 2]
I keep it all inside, say I’ll be alright
But time after time, I know I'm living a lie
Cuz' that ain't the way I feel.
This broken heart is real

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go

[Solo]
[Bridge]
I knew what we had was real
Dammit that’s how I feel

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow
If you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go
letting you go

Letting you Go (New Version)

Angels Are Real   
(Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)


Verse 1
Just past the midnight hour
I'm saying a prayer under the water tower
Out on the edge of town
I know your daddy's probably sitting on the front porch with the light on
But I don't wanna take you home
Just let me look at you
You're just too good to be true

Chorus
Girl I wanna know more of you
I don't wanna let go of you
Who knew heaven was at the end of Main Street
I just took a left when I got to the old oak tree
you're sitting next to me, holding my hand in my '89 Chevy
Moonlight glowing on you through the windshield
You're the answer to my prayers, angels are real

Verse 2
I never thought that I could have a spiritual awakening
But girl that's where you're taking me, oh
Just let me hold you
Oh make my dreams come  true


Chorus
Girl I wanna know more of you
I don't wanna let go of you
Who knew heaven was at the end of Main Street
I just took a left when I got to the old oak tree
you're sitting next to me, holding my hand in my '89 Chevy
Moonlight glowing on you through the windshield
You're the answer to my prayers, angels are real

Bridge
Amen girl, hallelujah
Amen girl, hallelujah
Amen

Chorus
I think I want no more of you
And I ain't ever letting go of you
I found heaven at the end of Main Street
I just took a left when I got to the old oak tree
And you're sitting next to me, holding my hand in my '89 Chevy
Falling in love out by the hayfield
And I can't hide how I feel
Moonlight glowing on you through the windshield
You're the answer to my prayers, angels are real

Angels Are Real

Didn’t Know a Thing   
(Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)


[Verse 1]
Everybody finds someone special
for me, that was you
We had nothing confidential
between us, only truth
Two peas in a pod, I swear to God
nothing came between us two

[Chorus]
We were gonna stay together
true love is forever
Oh, I could guarantee
that there was always gonna be,
A 'you and me'
They say, love is all you need
follow where it leads
Oh, but that ain’t true cuz what I thought I knew
I didn't know a thing about you

[Verse 2]
There's always a little give and take
Well, that's what we did
When you said we needed a break
You took everything I had to give
It was all a facade, I swear to God
It's like you weren't even you

[Chorus]
We were gonna stay together
true love is forever
Oh, I could guarantee
that there was always gonna be,
A 'you and me'
They say, love is all you need
follow where it leads
Oh, but that ain’t true cuz what I thought I knew
I didn't know a thing about you

[instrumental solo]

[Chorus]
We were gonna stay together
But we didn't forever
Oh, I could guarantee
that there was never really,
A 'you and me'
They say, love is all you need
follow where it leads
Oh, but that ain’t true cuz what I thought I knew
about love it didn't pertain to you
I didn't know a thing about you

Didn't Know a Thing

Ready For the Ride   
(Kimberly Korn/Marvin Shelton)


Verse 1
Days melt into the nights
Content with a nine to five
Then head on home for dinner on the couch
I loved my simple life
Then I lost my job, no easy ride
Landlord’s kicking me out

Pre
Should I start dreaming big, Or just give up?
What’s my next step? Cause time’s just got rough…Well, I might

Either way 
I’m ready for the ride

Whiskey Business
(Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

Verse 1
She’s out of my league but I’m gonna take a shot
See how far that’ll get me
She could turn and leave, not give a second thought
Then again, I might get lucky

But before she can turn me down, bartender one more round

Chorus
That’s what I do to get up the nerve
I double up with two every time I’m served
Some would say it’s risky and dangerous
Oh, to me it’s just whiskey business

Verse 2
Would you look at me! She says she wants a dance
But I’m stuck with two left feet
What do I do? I’ve gotta take this chance
How hard could a two-step be?

But before I turn around, lemme knock one down!

Chorus
That’s what I do to get up the nerve
I double up with two every time I’m served
Some would say it’s risky and dangerous
Oh, to me it’s just whiskey business


BRIDGE
There are those with A-type personalities
People like me…have technicalities

Chorus
That’s what I do to get up the nerve
I double up with two every time I’m served
Some would say it’s risky and dangerous
Oh, to me it’s taking care of business
Let em all say it’s risky and dangerous
yeah, to me it’s just whiskey business
That's my own business

Hurricane Rain   (Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)


Verse 1
I-10 near Baton Rouge
Pushing through a category two
Couldn't see the road ahead
Just then, I saw a sign
cafe open all night
So, I pulled in
Oh, that's when I met her
Opened the door and said, “you first”
Only table left was a corner booth
She asked, “can I share this one with you”


Chorus
And I was swept away by a tidal wave
Of feelings I’d never felt before that day
She pulled me in, sure as a gale force wind
I sank deeper as she took my breath away
Acting like I wasn’t falling was all in vain
Like trying to stay dry…in a hurricane rain

Verse 2
Devastation outside
My heart pounding inside
At table number two
and when the lights went out
Oh, there was never a doubt
We both knew what to do
She moved closer, I grabbed my coat
Put it over her and held her close
We fell asleep in each other’s arms
As calm as the eye of the storm!

Chorus
And I was swept away by a tidal wave
Of feelings I’d never felt before that day
She pulled me in, sure as a gale force wind
I sank deeper as she took my breath away
Acting like I wasn’t falling was all in vain
Like trying to stay dry…in a hurricane rain

BRIDGE
But when the storm had passed, some questions were never asked

Chorus
And as she drove away, I could barely wave
Through feelings I’d never felt before that day
She pulled me in, sure as a gale force wind
I sank deeper as she took my breath away
Acting like I wasn’t falling was all in vain
Like trying to stay dry…in a hurricane rain. 
A hurricane rain

Hurricane Rain

Ain't Had My Whiskey Yet (Marvin Shelton)

Verse
Yeah this bar, is slamming tonight
The band is hot and so is that nice
Little cowgirl there in her cut off jeans
That look in her eye, I know what that means
I better toss one down, before I kick sawdust around

CHORUS
I ain’t had my whiskey yet, I ain’t had my whiskey yet
My moves get sicker once I’ve had a little liquor. I ain’t had my whiskey yet
One ain’t enough
I ain’t had my whiskey yet. I ain’t had my whiskey yet
It loosens up my collar, makes me wanna holler. I ain’t had my whiskey yet
Two ain’t enough

VERSE
She said “Hey there cowboy, you look fine
Before the end of the night, I’m gonna make you mine
But first things first, I could sure use a drink
If you buy me a round you can dance with me
I said alright…give us two on ice!!

CHORUS
I ain’t had my whiskey yet, I ain’t had my whiskey yet
My moves get sicker once I’ve had a little liquor. I ain’t had my whiskey yet
Three ain’t enough

Bridge
Oh yeah, fill it up, it’s hard earned. Fill it up…. Feel that burn… 

CHORUS
I ain’t had my whiskey yet. I ain’t had my whiskey yet
It loosens up my collar, makes me wanna holler. I ain’t had my whiskey yet
Four ain’t enough
I ain’t had my whiskey yet, I ain’t had my whiskey yet
The band’s getting loud.  Set up another round
I ain’t had my whiskey yet! One ain’t, two ain’t, three ain’t
Four ain’t enough!! 

(Ooh yeah)
