THAT OLD GUITAR SOUND

Brother I'm a singer
Yeah I'm alive tonight
I've been down on my luck
But there's a turn of the tide

I know good fortune
Will find it's way to me
Believe in it brother, you'll see
Believe in it brother, you'll see

There'll be no more feeling down
After what I've found
There'll be no more looking down
I've picked myself up from the ground
Thanks to what I've found
That old guitar sound
Thanks to what I've found
That old guitar sound

I'm going down to Nashville
To the old Bluebird Cafe
I'm gonna put my name down
And get up on the stage

I'll walk in as an unknown
And I'll walk out feeling high
Saying, "Brother, I'm gonna make it
Brother, I've arrived."

That Old Guitar Sound

BY SARAH'S SIDE

I don't know how to tell her
Just how I feel
I've got this feeling deep inside of my belly
Telling me it's real

I think I'm in love and it's crazy
This feeling I just cannot deny
I cannot last a day without seeing her
I need to be by Sarah's Side

Chorus:
By Sarah's Side
I long to be
My heart bursts with pride
When she's close to me
I just wanna hold her tight
And never let go
She'll be my girl tonight
I'll let the whole world know

Every night when I fall asleep
I have these beautiful dreams
She's the star of the show and her long hair flows
She's in every scene

But when it gets to the special moment
When I put my arm around
I wake up alone and call her name
But she's nowhere to be found

Chorus

Yeah I'll stand on a roof top
And I'll shout it out to the world
I'm gonna be her boy
And she's gonna be my girl

Oh my blossom
The love she brings
December girl
With Angel's wings

RED HOT SUN

I'm a loaded gun
I'm a rolling wheel
I'm a wicked one
I'm a man of steel

I'm a storm chaser
I'm a ray of light
I'm a boy racer
With my foot down tonight

Chorus:
I'm full of fire
But I'm a sensitive kind
Driven by desire
With the power to shine
Let me follow you forever
And we'll see it through
Like a red hot sun
I'm burning for you

I'm the mountain high
I'm the will to win
I'm the strength and courage
To get back up again

It was there on the highway
Where I crashed and burned
Then you gave me a reason
To live and learn

Red Hot Sun EP

Red Hot Sun

Forever in my heart
She'll be forever in my heart
Some days I feel lost
When we're apart

Forever on my mind
She'll be forever on my mind
My father said, "son, if you want a girl
seek and you will find."

But I don't need to go searching
Because I've already found
The girl of my dreams
I just need to tell her now

Just what she means
She makes me feel tall
With her by my side
I can conquer all

This sea of flames
She is the spark
Catalyst to the fire
Lighting up the dark

Forever in my heart
Forever on my mind
Forever in my soul
She's enshrined.

Forever In My Heart ft. Meghann Clancy

My name is McGregor
And I'm the leader of the band
I travel all across the nation
With this guitar in my hand

There's Fitzgerald on the keys
And Murphy is my drummer
We'll catch a plane to the USA
And stay there all through summer

Playing these songs
Rock n Roll numbers
And for the disco diva's
We'll do the jukebox jive

I remember those distant nights
Just the whisky, me and dad
He'd say, "wear your boots and dirty shirt"
Because that's the life that he had

I've got no duties holding me
But I know what I need now
One day dad I promise you
I'm gonna make you so proud

Playing these songs
Rock n Roll numbers
And for the disco diva's
We'll do the jukebox jive

Jukebox jive
I never felt so alive
Sit and watch the record spin
I can't escape this big wide grin
When she see's me take the jukebox in my stride

I wake up to a new morn'
Just another working day
To keep a roof above my head
And fund my cheap blind dates

I rifle through my closet
Dad picked out my shirt and tie
I recollect my dreams last night
A movie in my mind

We played those songs
Rock n Roll numbers
For the disco diva's
We did the jukebox jive

Jukebox jive
Jukebox jive
Jukebox jive!

MY GOAL SUPREME

This is for all mankind
This is for the folk that I love
This is for the woman by my side
This is for those now in heaven

Thank you for all your faith and trust
You hung with me whether it was win or bust
And I promise you I never will let go
To what we have I only wanna let it grow

My goal supreme
To live the dream
A laser dream
My goal supreme

As I walk through fields of gold
I start to reminisce
Thinking of what is yet to come
And what I want to sing is this

Thank you my brother and my pa
And last not least Margaret my mama
And everyone else you know who you are
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart

My goal supreme
To live the dream
A laser dream
My goal supreme

Yeah I'll write you words of love and hope
And peaceful times
Yeah I'll write you words about misery
You know we still need that sometimes

My goal supreme
To live the dream
A laser dream
