Damn Good Dream

I whipped in the loose gravel parking lot 
The taste of you in that kiss is still chasing me 
Only place I can get away from the smell of your perfume
Is sitting on a stool down at the Shadetree Saloon

Chorus
With Beads of sweat dripping down my glass 
Of memories on the rocks with ol’ number 7 
You said, we would never be anything 
But to me, you were heaven
And If it was a dream, 
It was a damn good dream
I don’t wanna wake up 
It’s a damn good dream

Now the Bartender has become my best friend
He listens when I cry my heart out over you
But with every teardrop, I’m about to drown 
Maybe there’s less pain after the next round

Chorus
With Beads of sweat dripping down my glass 
Of memories on the rocks with ol’ number 7 
You said, we would never be anything 
But to me, you were heaven
And If it was a dream, 
It was a damn good dream
I don’t wanna wake up 
It’s a damn good dream

Bridge
But, I miss the way you curled your lip every time you laughed
Oh, I just need you back
Yeah, I just need you back, baby

Chorus
With Beads of sweat dripping down my glass 
Of memories on the rocks with ol’ number 7 
You said, we would never be anything 
But to me, you were heaven
And If it was a dream, 
It was a damn good dream
I don’t wanna wake up 
No, I don’t want to wake up
It’s a damn good dream

I don't wanna wake up
It's a damned good dream

Breathe You In

V1
Every time you walk in the room 
It sucks the air right out of me 
My pulse won’t slow down 
Your the drug my body needs 

PC
I know I should walk away
But everything is screaming stay

Chorus
Now I can hardly breathe 
You give me chills
I have to fight
To inhale  
If only I
Could breathe you in 
Breathe you in
Cause Girl, I'm suffocating 

V2
It’s hard finding the words to say
We got a lot we haven't worked through
I was wrong, and I can't go on 
My world ended when I lost yo

PC 
I know I should walk away
But everything is screaming stay

Chorus
Now I can hardly breathe 
You give me chills
I have to fight
To inhale  
If only I
Could breathe you in 
Breathe you in
Cause Girl I'm suffocating 

Bridge
For you there's nothing I wouldn’t give
But without you how can I live

Now I can hardly breathe 
You give me chills
I have to fight
To inhale  
If only I
Could breathe you in 
Breathe you in
Cause Girl I'm suffocating

 LYRICS
You’re looking for the perfect man, but I’m not him 
If I were a good old Joe maybe I’d fit right in 
I know I’m not perfect for all your day dreams 
I don’t think you’ll find a man to fit your extremes 

I bend for you because it seems like you’re keeping score 
But every bend I make breaks my heart a little more 
If Love is freedom, why put me in a cage   
How can I be myself only dancing on your stage? 

[Chorus]
I’m not your puppet to dangle on a string
I’m not your puppet to live in your dreams
I’m not your puppet to be what you see 
I’m not your puppet man I can’t forget to be me
I’m going to be who I am not your  puppet man
 
But, I’ll be the man who loves you with all of my heart 
The one who comes running back to you when we’re apart 
I’ll be the best I can be when you let our love flow 
Please stop trying to change me into only heaven knows 
 
[Repeat Chorus]
 
[Bridge]
If you pull my strings and tell me what to do 
Then our love will get tangled in a knot and we'll both lose 

[Repeat Chorus]

 ©2017 Lyrics below

Early morning news says, a storm is on the way
Thunder n’ lightnin’ reminds me of our relationship
Always seems like a new drama is interfering every day
It makes getting out of bed seem like a wasted trip

[Chorus]
I hear the thunder and feel the lightning
Breaking our relationship into broken dreams, broken dreams
It’s all we can do to keep from losing everything
As we’re being pulled apart at the seams
We’re losing our dreams… losing our dreams…

If we can’t make changes we’ll wind up a total wreck
Like a farm house after a tornado, trashed and broken
We need the Red Cross to rescue us from our disconnect
To stop this crazy storm of unkind words being spoken

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
There’s a disaster in our lives overshadowing everything
It’s hidden beneath the surface of what's wrong and what's right
And every time we try we always end up in a fight

[Repeat Chorus]

Your Kisses

YOUR KISSES  by DAVID A PRITCHETT and ASHLEY SHARROCK

Life is a Runaway Train        

I face the music with the lights turned low 
I can hear the melody of love unfold 
Remember we said, we’d never grow old 
But time changes everything, we been told 
 
Holding you in my arms our passion flames 
We both look different, but I won’t complain 
Cause deep in my heart only love remains  
Like the day we met, my life has never been the same 

[Chorus]

Life is a runaway train on a one-way track 
Everything moves forward and it never goes back 
Life is a runaway train on a one-way track 
When you buy a ticket you can't go back 
You can’t go back

 When we reach the end I hope we find 
Life doesn’t really end; our clouds are silver lined 
We’ll laugh at all the crazy beliefs we assigned 
To this trip thinking it would end at the line 

[Repeat Chorus]
 
[Bridge]
Ain't gonna look back with you sittin’ by my side 
I’m happy we’re on the same track and I’m lovin’ this ride 

 [Repeat Chorus]

Life Is A Runaway Train - by David A. Pritchett and Ola Norman

You're an Angel of a Woman

Angel Of A Woman - Worktape

© Written by David A. Pritchett, Jenny Trindall and Paul deMarco

Caught between pretend love and this new
Happiness we feel together
Chained to the voes we made and regretted
Know we can't face forever

Maybe as children we’d been denied love
And too long lived with those lies
Before we met it was done
Choosing marriages with love’s blind eyes

[Chorus]
Now you go left and I'll go right
We'll meet in the middle, in the middle of the night
I know you don't love him and it shows
You know I don't love her everybody knows
You go left and I'll go right
We'll meet in the middle, in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night

I’m looking down deep inside
Trying to figure out where to start
If we let these broken dreams fall apart
We’ll be free to follow our hearts

If I spent the rest of my life loving you
It would be divine
But love disappears like broken mirrors
Lost in the lies we leave behind

[Chorus]
Now you go left and I'll go right
We'll meet in the middle, in the middle of the night
I know you don't love him and it shows
You know I don't love her everybody knows
You go left and I'll go right
We'll meet in the middle, in the middle of the night

Chorus Tag
Now you go left and I'll go right
We'll meet in the middle of the night
I know you don't love him and it shows
You know I don't love her everybody knows
You go left and I'll go right
Oh, You go left and I'll go right
I know you don't love him and it shows
You know I don't love her everybody knows
You go left and I'll go right
We'll meet in the middle of the night

I Lost Myself - Demo

“Playin’ Games”  
Rock, paper, scissors, crazy games we played back in school 
Hide n’ Seek in the alleys between the trash-cans was really cool 
Everyone heard my Mom yell as the sun was going down 
Johnny it’s time to eat, my hometown was my playground 

 [PC]
Living in this world with memories untold
When I play, I never feel old 

[Chorus]
I’m still feelin’ young, and still playin’ games 
I’m still feelin’ young, and still playin’ games

Those days of old now seem so very far away 
Reminding me of the good times when I had more time to play 
My friends say I never grew up and maybe that’s true  
Cos’ I’m enjoying this game of life just like children do 

[PC]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
The child inside of me loves to share everything 
To be free to pretend, joke, laugh and sing 

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

Playin' Games

(Turn Out) The Same 

V1
When I was still growing up 
Many people put me down 
I was to shy to talk to girls 
Big bullies ruled my playground 

I carried anger and rage around 
Inside my frozen heart of stone 
If love really exists at all 
It wasn’t living in my home 

CHORUS

My mother was born in Indiana
My father Tennessee
I can’t remember 
If either one ever loved me
My one grandpa was crazy
The other one insane
I always wondered
If I would turn out the same, the same

V2
I hid my fears behind a mask 
By pretending things were fine 
I lost myself in crazy addictions 
I did some time for stupid crimes 

I always tried to act normal 
Started when I was a lonely teen 
I never fit in back then 
I still live in a make-believe dream 

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Everything in my life I thought was right 
It turned out to be wrong 
I now realize I’ve been crazy all along 

Repeat Chorus X2

REWRITE  IDEA BELOW
V 2 
I always tried to act normal 
In this world of conformity 
Living without anyone’s love 
Is why I question my sanity
