Already There

Barren Paths don't lead anywhere, and a bump in the road and you're asking yourself why?Trying hard to make life work, but it's harder to love when all of the wells have run dry.Saw you there and you seemed all alone, and you looked in my eyes with something you wanted to say, Hard to put the words in tune, cause your mouth is dry, and love's a song to play.Wonderful Rain......Then the morning comes around and you hear the drops of life come trickling down.You feel your passion coming alive, your heart it swells with the earth, as the rain hits the ground.Wonderful Rain.....

Wonderful Rain

You're breaking me baby, gonna tear up my heart, and you say your smile is enough, to set me free.And now you're over my shoulder and the room it got colder, and I'm running for my life, oh baby, let me be.C'est la Vie.One more time around for me.C'est la Vie.Baby you know you've got to let your lover free.I see that my lover's never there for me, and she's killing me dead, she walks away scott free.Left me laying face down on the ground and I hear her heals as they walk her ass outta town.C'est la Vie.One more time around for me.C'est la Vie.Baby you know you've got to let your lover be.


C'est la Vie

I got, Cop drop'd in the City of Dreams, I'm no longer feeling right.  
How bout you and my old dog Blue, We head outta town for a ride.
No more just a laying around, feeling bad about what they say,
I know you and know it's true, that you don't give a damn anyway. 

Here comes marching figures to fight.  Over our shoulders a tall burning light. 
No one can hear just what we say!  Oh, the story rolls and they'll say we just wanna play.  

I'm back down in your city of dreams, settled down here for the night.
I don't know if I'm going slow, but I know that I feel alright. 
I smile at ya Mama and say that I wanna hear that jive,
We're driving fast but making it last, and I never felt so alive!

Here comes marching figures to fight.  Over our shoulders a tall burning light. 
No one can hear just what we say!  Oh, the story rolls and they'll say we just wanna play.  

You live fast and forget about life, and it comes on back in the night.
How bout you and that old dog Blue, we head out for that ride?
Ohh how the world hasn't changed, but we claim it for our own.
Running Left and chasing Right and we'll do it for a bone.
But is it right?  Is it right?  Is it right, Oh is it right? ......

Is It Right?

You beg to please but hate to say, who wants to go with us anyway.  To pass the time you take us for a ride.  Did you always know, did you ever share, would you go back to there, anywhere?  To pass the time you play a song for me.  Breaking the code with uneven stares.  Looking for something that isn't there.  I'll sail your secrets to the night.  Now you're gone, and no one hears your light.  
Did you fight for your own time?  Or fight for the right to be the end of the line?  Or did you disappear to make me cry?  Standing on the dock but nobody comes.  Being chased by dreams of where you come from.  I'll sail your secrets to the night.  Now you're gone and no one hears your light.

You’re hearts never patient it puts me on a shelf                
I look for you baby don’t want nobody else         
High fashion mamma gonna put the night to shine
I’ve gotta have you baby so give me one more time
Chorus
We’ve got that fever so come on let’s make it to the show
It’s got me feeling that I’m never ever gonna let you go
My hearts gonna feel it, my head say the lyrics gonna rhyme
It’s time for another show, let’s do it one more time.
Lead on end of Chorus
Verse II                                                    
You’re savior is running, he’s coming after me             
He’ll bury my soul in the depths of Manistee                                                   
So run away baby, gonna take you for a ride
Hang with a sinner and keep all your pride.
Chorus 
Verse III                                                                
Now mine is a passion you couldn't understand          
But you might have a feeling so take me by the hand                                                          
Tales about you baby go running down the line   
It’s your life now and I see that it’s your time
Chorus – Repeat Chorus – Rock out to end…..


One More Time

Did You Lie						Taco Land
Verse I
Momma Barbara tried to tell me that it’s fun
When the lights come on they turn the night to day
But there’s something deep inside of you it telling you to run
But I’m standing here I’m asking you to stay
Bridge
There’s a line outside your garden wall
So many others want to play
Can you hold me close and let me dream 
I’ll never fall, I live for the night, will you give me the day?

Chorus
Did you lie, when you said that you loved me
Babe I want you in my life
Did you lie, when you said that you loved me
Babe I want you in my life

Bridge w/ Lead

Verse II
There’s more to say than I can give you in a silly song
And the words I wanna say are just for you
I can chase you round the world, I hope it don’t take too long
But there’s nothing more than I would rather do.

Bridge - Chorus –  Lead – Chorus - End


Did You Lie

Modern Lives
Verse I 
Was it a lie or some country song
That broke my heart today
Yeah there’s times that I realize
That you chased my faith away

Chorus 
Come on back let’s bring a new party line
A time less common a time more for today
There’s a love outside in this world we call the lying times
Show me the line, I’ll cross today
Hell we live in the modern times
Wipe those tears away
Hell we live for our Modern Lives
Setting off new lows every day, I’ll think of better ways

Verse II
Was it dark when you realized 
when your dreams have gone away
Did your heart start to paralyze, 
did you fake your love anyway
Is there time for a turn around
Are you standing in your way
Did your love make you come around
And bring you peace today? 


Modern Lives

The Clock Stopped

At the faster speed you'll feel the need as your passion leads to play
Spin around till the needle goes down, but you move to fast to say
Fracking me, looting me, blessing me, shooting me, now everybody wants to win
Now the faces in the crowd start screaming too loud and we let the war begin.

Chorus
Did you pick the perfect ending?  Did you pick the perfect time?
Did you say the world is ending?  Did you swallow all your lies?
The times come for the people to take their passion back.  
Cause you lie, to save yourself.
Cause it's one two three and our minds are now free and you're coming back
Cause you lie, to save yourself.

You tell me on the phone, that I'll never be alone, I can come to you.
That the stars will always shine and you'll always be mine today.
Now there's something in the air and it's really not fair, I'm running round.
Now we're really gonna pay for the failures that come our way.

Dice down, I'm shakin on the ground, I can turn my luck my way
Act fast cause it's never gonna last, a political fact of the day
Fracking me, looting me, blessing me, shooting me, baby now, everythings in fair play
Can you come back now and not lie somehow, or will you chase my love away?
Repeat Chorus - End
Music and Lyrics by - Joseph "Taco" Russell

Save Yourself

Pancakes and Pizza					Taco Land 
Verse I
Everyone’s talking about a different kind of danger, and that Freedom, is never Free.
Now we’re pointing our guns at a whole world of strangers, while we’re setting the bad guys free.
You close your eyes as you pull on the trigger and the smoke goes round and round
Traces of faces come shooting back at you, till you no longer hear the sound.
Chorus
So give your life to your County Boy.  No one cares just how you really fare
So give your life to your County Boy.  Red or Blue is the choice for you, don’t you care?
Verse II
There’s some molten folks full of hate, shit and danger and they won’t just let us be
But no one knows why this imminent danger keeps us all from being free
Close your eyes and stop asking question, if you want to stick around
Choose your side and pay no attention, to ideas, dreams or sounds.
Repeat Chorus – Bridge – Repeat Chorus
Verse III
You live in a box, but you might wanna see, there’s a passion to find, we call it, Liberty.
But we’re shooting at strangers and we’re shooting at sounds.  Its Pancakes and Pizza and putting on pounds.
Hand me some patience cause I wanna plant some seeds, share some love cause that’s all that I need.
But I’m hating on you and you’ve been hating on me.  Red and Blue no longer stands for Free!
No more colors for me!
I’m shooting at strangers cause they’re shooting at me and I know this life won’t set me free
The man he wants me down in the ground, but I’ll set my Soul on Fire with my Sound.
Set my Soul on Fire with my Sound.  Set my Soul on Fire with my Sound.
