Jumpstart 

November on the way to December
Rocky Mountain South on a big adventure
My buddy Dan and his guitar hand
We were playing at bars, hanging out like rockstars

Got to Flag, but the battery died on the Nissan truck with the tan backside 
Had to throw her out of gear, 
“We're getting out of here!”

If we push it on top this hill
Pop the clutch and let her go
Nobody's gonna stop us....well.
Nobody's gonna ever ever ever know

I said, “Hey there Mister, won't you just-a, 
Give another man a helping hand.
We need a jumper or a push on the bumper.
We'll be outer your way, 
Driving down the highway.

Danny's got a girl on the plane,
We got to get to sin city, pick up Emily A.
Take her down to the Boulevard.
Watch your feet, Push Hard!!!!

When we push it on top this hill
Pop the clutch and let her go
Nobody's gonna stop us....well.
Nobody's gonna ever ever ever know
When we push it on top this hill
Hop inside and shut the door
Nobody's gonna stop us....well.
Nobody's gonna ever ever ever know
No, No, No, Nobody
No, No, No, Nobody
No, No, No, Nobody

You see, Danny Boy and I, had a couple of tries,
Then we were driving away,
On the 40 interstate.
We had some gas and a Vegas Hall Pass.
Emmy in the air, we were Superfly Fast.
With little money on an overcast Sunday,
we were driving away, driving down the highway.

County line, it was fueling time.
Oh my my, we got to get her back to 5.
Find a hill, put her in park.
Man I wish this thing would start!

Well if we push it on top this hill
Pop the clutch and let her go
Nobody's gonna stop us....well.
Nobody's gonna ever ever ever know
When we push it on top this hill
Hop inside and shut that door
Nobody's gonna stop us....well.
Nobody's gonna ever ever ever know
No, No, No, Nobody
No, No, No, Nobody
No, No, No, Nobody

Slip

With all this pressure killing me, I can hardly hardly breathe,  
when I think about everything that’s going on.
I tried to stop and sail away
From my fears I’ve kept at Bay
But it’s starting to drive me away from my home

I think I  I’m losing my mind, losing my mind.  
I think I, I think I, I think I, I’m losing my mind, losing my mind. 

I thought I held the only key, to a lock that’s part of me
And a chain that keeps holding strong

Every time my back is turned, 
There’s a lesson that I learn
Every right can bring another wrong
I think that, I’m losing my mind, losing my mind.  


I think I, I think I, I think I, I’m losing my mind, losing my mind. 

I’m slip slip slipping away…..slip slippin…slippin away 
Slip slippin away…slip slippin.
And in my mind I stop and sing 

Do do do do, di do do, do di do do, do do do do do 

I’ll  try and wrap my brain around
All the questions that I found 
That are constantly haunting me, they keep haunting me. 

I think I  I’m losing my mind, losing my mind. 

I think I, I think I, I think I, I’m losing my mind, losing my mind. 
Do do do do di do do, do di do do, do do do do do

Slip

She’s got that sass with the High Heels on    
Stressin Bout her friends leaving her all alone
Starts to dance to her favorite song        
 Moving up and down get the friction on
A little cutie with a nice tatoo     
Got you whirling around    Feeling all Groovy
And now she’s lemony fresh and you aint acting Smart    
Another Woman Gonna Break Your Heart
 
Another Woman Gonna Break Your Heart     - AGAIN!
Another Woman Gonna Break Your Heart      - AGAIN!  (Turn you round take you back to the start)
Another Woman Gonna Break Your Heart
Another Woman  Another Woman

It’s like 1973!        
Pass around the doobie all the women are free
Working hard but your still on your knees   
begging like a villain  screaming please, please 
Give me something that fulfills my needs   
 Chocolate vanilla and some strawberry
Sweet tooth gonna break apart   
Another Woman Gonna Take your break your!  

She’s gonna shake shake Rattlesnake    
Get too close and your heart will ache
You’ll lose your mind and lose your     
Find your heart served on a blue plate
Take downtown your town  sugary sweet    
Crazy Armadillo wipe her off her feet
Got a hold till you felt that quake   
Another woman’s got a heart to break

Another Woman

Written by Thomas Champagne 

In Loving memory of Carlos Lopez!!!

Sapo King
We took Truckasaurus down to Cruces town 
Goin 80 miles and hour with the windows down 
With 4 more hours to go 
Its 3am onto second wind 
And my brother's takin over, gonna drive again 
Straight through that border patrol 

Cause there’s this bar, not to far, that is open and bizarre 
There’s a bar not too far that is open and it stars 
The Sapo King Sapo King Holy Roller Majesty 
Sapo King Sapo King Flipping coins and sipping wheat 
With Tangerines, everybody needs their vitamin C 
Caffeine, you’ll need indeed to beat 
The Sapo King Sapo King Holy Roller, ….Majesty 

We’ll take the van with the monkey in hand 
And that damn red lighter’s out of fuel againp 
They’ve Broken Uncle Milty’s bowl 
Go take a shot and the coin just drops 
Off the brass in the middle thought I hit that spot 
This record player’s out of control. YEAH!!!!
