Third Boat Dock

V1.
Time flies. Memories Keep
Back Roads. Roots run deep
Coming back just clears my mind
Country cruising. Windows down
Heading off-road out of town.
Another rock n roll rewind
Dusty drive. Gravel Roads
The place I learned to grow
Back on the lake there’s a spot
Stories trade. Love made
Ain’t many of us that ever stayed
Thank God that old dock can’t talk

Chorus
Third Dock. 80s rock
Liquid courage. Foam on top.
Everybody’s down to clown
Catch a fish. Take a dip
Pop a top. Take a sip
All day long to mess around
Tickled pink on Boone’s Farm wine
Or whatever gets you feeling fine
Ain’t no need to check the clock
Holding hands. Kicking back.
Jump on in. Make a splash
Livin’ the life at the 3rd boatdock

V2.
Party barge. Cold brew.
Captain Morgan and his party crew
Cruisin out to meet sunset
Campfire. Life’s good
Pitched a tent in the trailerhood.
Another night we won’t forget
Grill’s lit. Keg’s tapped
Crank that summer soundtrack
Just the break I need to take
Moon and stars are shining bright
No clouds on a perfect night
Another weekend on the lake

Chorus
Third Dock. 80s rock
Liquid courage. Foam on top.
Everybody’s down to clown
Catch a fish. Take a dip
Pop a top. Take a sip
All day long to mess around
Tickled pink on Boone’s Farm wine
Or whatever gets you feeling fine
Ain’t no need to check the clock
Holding hands. Kicking back.
Jump on in. Make a splash
Livin’ the life at the 3rd boat dock

Bridge
Sounds of summer. Sights to see
A simpler time when we were free
No responsibility
Good days. Good friends.
Hate to see it have to end
Now it’s all just memories

Chorus
Third Dock. 80s rock
Liquid courage. Foam on top.
Everybody’s down to clown
Catch a fish. Take a dip
Pop a top. Take a sip
All day long to mess around
Tickled pink on Boone’s Farm wine
Or whatever gets you feeling fine
Ain’t no need to check the clock
Holding hands. Kicking back.
Jump on in. Make a splash
Livin’ the life at the 3rd boat dock

Livin the life at the 3rd boat dock

Jump on in. Make a splash
Livin’ the life at the 3rd boat dock

V1.
It’s 3 am, I’m up again
You’ll always be the reason
Whistling wind, storms moving in
The changing of the seasons
Got time to think. I pour a drink
Strong, a double tall
Like the trees, changing leaves
I’ll just let go and fall.

Chorus
They say time’s a terrible thing to waste
But I do it pretty well.
Your scent still lingers in the air
I’m trapped under your spell.
A hint of wine, your lips on mind
Are still the best I’ve tasted
I’m too far gone to carry on.
My time is best spent wasted

V2.
Feels like the liquor makes it pass quicker
But it keeps me from moving on.
There’s no silence in the night
But there’s comfort in the dawn.
The sunshine breaking through the clouds
Starts to melt away the gray
But I know the truth, me without you
Is just another wasted day.

Chorus
They say time’s a terrible thing to waste
But I do it pretty well.
Your scent still lingers in the air
I’m trapped under your spell.
A hint of wine, your lips on mind
Are still the best I’ve tasted
I’m too far gone to carry on.
My time is best spent wasted

Bridge
I let the night just slip on by
But the memories still linger
My hand still don’t feel quite right
Without your ring around my finger

Chorus
They say time’s a terrible thing to waste
But I do it pretty well.
Your scent still lingers in the air
I’m trapped under your spell.
A hint of wine, your lips on mind
Are still the best I’ve tasted
I’m too far gone to carry on.
My time is best spent wasted

A hint of wine, your lips on mind
Are still the best I’ve tasted
I’m too far gone to carry on.
My time is best spent wasted

My time is best spent wasted

Only Fans

V1
I’m no longer doing laundry
‘Cos I sell everything I wear
A brand new hairbrush every day
They’re worth more money full of hair

Only Fans has landed me
In the upper crust tax tier
I tell the IRS I’m a chicken farmer
Cuz I raised a million cocks last year

Chorus
OnlyFans brings wads of cash
I’m working it from home
I even sell bathwater
Full of my own bubbly foam
Ah don’t be rude, I’m rarely nude
You can watch wherever I am
Not a dirty girl, but it’s a dirty world
Full of my Only Fans

V2
Tell all your friends where to find me
I ain’t here to be discreet
There’s a huge fettish market
Where I sell pictures of my feet

You won’t believe what I can get 
For my bras and panties
Last year I made me half a mil
From my perverted sugar daddies


Chorus
OnlyFans brings wads of cash
I’m working it from home
I even sell bathwater
Full of my own bubbly foam
Ah don’t be rude, I’m rarely nude
You can watch wherever I am
Not a dirty girl, but it’s a dirty world
Full of my Only Fans


Bridge
See my life on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
I might even strike a pose while sitting on the shitter

Chorus
OnlyFans brings wads of cash
I’m working it from home
I even sell bathwater
Full of my own bubbly foam
Ah don’t be rude, I’m rarely nude
You can watch wherever I am
Not a dirty girl, but it’s a dirty world
Full of my Only Fans

Not a dirty girl, but it’s a dirty world
Full of my Only Fans

Topo Chico 
Rachel Gann/Tim Schlesener
08 APR 2024

V1.
Don’t bring me a Bud
I’m wiser than that
Not gonna tap the Rockies
I ain’t poppin’ a tab
I don’t need a Miller Lite
‘Cos the time ain’t right
All I want are some bubbles
And a thin slice of lime

Chorus
There was I time in my life
I poured it over tequila
Let it kill all the pain
‘Til I couldn’t feel ya
I’d splash some Topo Chico. 
Over a shot of vodka
‘Til I couldn’t remember
That I never forgot ya
Sunny days I’d take my Topo 
with two shots of rum 
and go numb. Get me some.
But now I just take my Topo straight
Let those bubbles fix my brain
I don’t need alcohol no more
Topo Chico. Topo Chico

V2.
It’s no whiskey night
No, I ain’t jackin’ around
Just Me and El Chico
heading out on the town
Bubbles straight give me just the right
Friday night buzz
I just float Topo Chico
And let it do what it does.

Chorus
There was I time in my life
I poured it over tequila
Let it kill all the pain
‘Til I couldn’t feel ya
I’d splash some Topo Chico. 
Over a shot of vodka
‘Til I couldn’t remember
That I never forgot ya
Sunny days I’d take my Topo 
with two shots of rum 
and go numb. Get me some
But now I just take my Topo straight
Let those bubbles fix my brain
I don’t need alcohol no more
Topo Chico. Topo Chico


Bridge
I don’t even want this bottle of wine
‘Cos these Topo Chico bubbles got me feeling fine

Chorus
There was I time in my life
I poured it over tequila
Let it kill all the pain
‘Til I couldn’t feel ya
I’d splash some Topo Chico. 
Over a shot of vodka
‘Til I couldn’t remember
That I never forgot ya
Sunny days I’d take my Topo 
with two shots of rum 
and go numb. Get me some
But now I just take my Topo straight
Let those bubbles fix my brain
I don’t need alcohol no more
Topo Chico. Topo Chico

Time Doesn’t Run Backwards

08 JUN 2023

V1. 
Choices in the moment
Decisions tracked in time
Moving on without you then
Still messes with my mind
I try not to think about it
‘Cos it’s a lot to unpack
The years we chose to live apart
We’ll never get those back

Chorus
There are things I might do different
But then what we have now would change
I could have done it better
But it wouldn’t be the same
When I think of all the should have beens 
Those questions go unanswered 
Wish I could rewind….But time
Doesn’t run backwards
No, it don’t run backwards

V2.
Now our lives are blended
What’s mine is yours and yours is mine
And the kids are all of ours
Like there’s only one bloodline
Thank God we got a second chance
To build a love that lasts
And live the kind of romance
Where we don’t look back

Chorus
There are things I might do different
But then what we have now would change
I could have done it better
But it wouldn’t be the same
When I think of all the should have beens  
Those questions go unanswered 
Wish I could rewind…..But time
Doesn’t run backwards
No, it don’t run backwards

Bridge
I guess it’s probably better not knowing
And let time keep heading the way that it’s going

Chorus
There are things I might do different
But then what we have now would change
I could have done it better
But it wouldn’t be the same
When I think of all the should have beens
Those questions go unanswered
Wish I could rewind… but time
Doesn’t run backwards
No, it don’t run backwards


No, it don’t run backwards

A Little Rescuing
TimothyMichaelMusic
30 OCT 2024

V1. 
We share a lot of history
You and me
Our love is an enigma
In an endless sea
We’ve surfed the highest waves
Been wrapped in riptides
Some days thriving some just surviving
Our love life

Chorus
When you’re treading in deep waters
I’m waist deep wading in
I’ll meet you in the middle
Chin to chin
And you’re my life line
Ready to reel me in
Some days we both need
A little rescuing

V2.
So much water under our bridge
We’re drowning in it
We need a whole lot of forgiving 
But we’re getting to it
The overpass ain’t burning
But it’s bridging troubled waters
It ain’t boiling yet
But it’s getting hotter

Chorus
When you’re treading in deep waters
I’m waist deep wading in
I’ll meet you in the middle
Chin to chin
And you’re my life line
Ready to reel me in
Some days we both need
A little rescuing

Bridge
Just keep swimming baby
I know you see
The only thing that matters
Is you and me

Chorus
When you’re treading in deep waters
I’m waist deep wading in
I’ll meet you in the middle
Chin to chin
And you’re my life line
Ready to reel me in
Some days we both need
A little rescuing

You’re my life line
Always ready to reel me in
Some days we both need
A little rescuing

A little rescuing

A little rescuing

V1.
I’ve been dreaming ‘bout this day
We’ve let so much time slip away
It ain’t a fluke or coincidence
But what a lucky happenchance
To paint this life with all red strokes
And breathe love into our ghosts
Another chapter in our history
Of the story of you and me

Chorus
So let me ask you this.
Have you ever felt more in a kiss?
Does yours skip a beat when you see my face?	
‘Cos girl your makin’ my heart race
Those butterflies from way back then
Are back flapping their wings again
And the magic happened flawlessly
Sweet Serendipity 

V2.
What a stunning twist of fate
That we got a second first date
A stroke of luck for a new outcome
The way our life was supposed to run.
There’s a new story to tell
This one’s starting pretty well
For this star-crossed fairytale of ours
A happy ending for these two hearts

Chorus
So let me ask you this.
Have you ever felt more in a kiss?
Does yours skip a beat when you see my face?	
Cuz girl your makin’ my heart race
Those butterflies from way back then
Are back flapping their wings again
And the magic happened flawlessly
Sweet Serendipity

Bridge:
You’re everything I’ve ever wanted
I think you’re feeling it too.
You’ve been living in my mind
Sometimes dreams come true

Chorus
So let me ask you this.
Have you ever felt more in a kiss?
Does yours skip a beat when you see my face?	
‘Cos girl your makin’ my heart race
Those butterflies from way back then
Are back flapping their wings again
And the magic happened flawlessly
Sweet Serendipity

Memory Worth Watching (Final)
 timothymichaelmusic
07 AUG 2024

V1
Life was front porch listenin’, and grandma’s kitchen
Morning dew when it glistens, rain drops dripping
On an old tin roof

Then a wish on a star, fireflies in a jar
First dates. Roller skates, classmates
And the story of me and you

Chorus
We didn’t want the night to end
The music was our best friend 
Playing love songs through the radio
Watching flames dance in the fire
We both took a flier
And tipped that first domino
As they tumbled one by one
Love grew hotter than the sun
And both our hearts were throbbing
Right then we realized
Life was flashing before our eyes
With a memory worth watching.


V2
Life’s full of loving and losing and heart scars earned
Bridges burned, pages turned, lessons learned
Even when they’re sad, but true

But It’s also the right place, when it’s all in time
Take a chance, grab your hand for a dance
And that moment I first held you

Chorus
We didn’t want the night to end
The music was our best friend 
Playing love songs through the radio
Watching flames dance in the fire
We both took a flier
And tipped that first domino
As they tumbled one by one
Love grew hotter than the sun
And both our hearts were throbbing
Right then we realized
Life was flashing before our eyes
With a memory worth watching


Chorus
We didn’t want the night to end
The music was our best friend 
Playing love songs through the radio
Watching flames dance in the fire
We both took a flier
And tipped that first domino
As they tumbled one by one
Love grew hotter than the sun
And both our hearts were throbbing
Right then we realized
Life was flashing before our eyes
With a memory worth watching.

Drive

V1.
Humming along to the radio
Still trying to find the words
Wheels are rolling to the beat
Found the chorus in the curves
Moonlight on the windshield
Not another soul in sight
The song begins to write itself 
In the middle of the night

Pre-chorus
Drive 

Chorus
My mind is free as the breeze
Music pouring out of me.
I’m alive
Loose grip on the wheel
Nothing but time to kill
Drive
City lights shine below the ridge
Still working on the bridge
It’s five
This straight-away completes the verse
No better feeling on the earth
Drive
Drive

V2.
As sunlight washes stars away
My air guitar provides the remedy
The colors in the sunrise
Help complete the melody

Pre-chorus
Drive

Chorus
My mind is free as the breeze
Music pouring out of me.
I’m alive
Loose grip on the wheel
Nothing but time to kill
Drive
City lights shine below the ridge
Still working on the bridge
It’s five
This straight-away completes the verse
No better feeling on the earth
Drive
Drive

Bridge
This old highway brought the music to life
There’s magic in the night

Pre-chorus
Drive

Chorus
My mind is free as the breeze
Music pouring out of me.
I’m alive
Loose grip on the wheel
Nothing but time to kill
Drive
City lights shine below the ridge
Still working on the bridge

This straight-away completes the verse
No better feeling on the earth

What If (Revised)

19 MAY 2022
Lyrics – Tim Schlesener BMI 01126229678

V1.
The evil and the righteous 
Are all caught in the same lie
Because the truth is even stranger
And no one questions why
And some will walk in the darkness
While others live in light
And each day’s a constant battle
And there’s no silence in the night.

Chorus
What if this is heaven?
Or maybe this is hell?
And the paths cross one another
Because the world already fell.
And time is only told by counting
Every single grain of sand
What if the Holy Spirit is the wind
And God is all the land

V2.
Our paths are interwoven
Like a quilt covering the shame
Everyone is pointing fingers
But no one takes the blame
Smoke and mirrors hide the truth
Will we ever really know?
The condition of the heart
Determines the route that each man goes.

Chorus
What if this is heaven?
Or maybe this is hell?
And the paths cross one another
Because the world already fell.
And time is only told by counting
Every single grain of sand
What if the Holy Spirit is the wind
And God is all the land

Bridge
When lies become the truth
And the truth becomes believed
It’s part of the grand illusion
Because we all have been deceived

Chorus
What if this is heaven?
Or maybe this is hell?
And the paths cross one another
Because the world already fell.
And time is only told by counting
Every single grain of sand
What if the Holy Spirit is the wind
And God is all the land
