I Miss Your Dog
David L. Graham/Vaughan Ray Daniel


 Lord knows you broke my heart into
 for awhile I didn't know what to do
 Then  I realized  you weren't coming back
 It was hard for me to finally face the fact

Chorus:
   Ever since you've  been gone
    Something has been so wrong
   Like my brain has gotten  lost in a fog
   We were the best of friends
    I  didn't want to see it end
    I can no longer pretend...
    Girl, I miss...Girl, I miss...Girl, I miss...
   I miss your dog 


You  left us alone much too often
Long nights of he and I  just talkin'
In fact we spent so much time together
I had him fetchin'  beers for me, now ain't that clever?

repeat chorus:

bridge:
I went to the pound
To pick a new dog out
That's how desperate I've become
'cause I spent the whole day
Going from cage to cage
But I could not replace the dog I love

repeat chorus:

I Miss Your Dog

Get the Truck Out of Here
Vaughan Daniel, David Graham, Leyla Fences


I never changed the locks 
Now you keep showing up unannounced
You want back what you lost, sorry but I’m putting my foot down
Your old 4 x4 is sittin’ in my driveway
You Best be gettin’ er on the highway…

Chorus:
Get the Truck out of here
go on back to your new wife
I thought I made it clear 
When I told you goodbye
I don’t need your second-hand love
I've been down that road..I'm shiftin' gears
Babe I’ve had enough…. 
So, Get the Truck outta here

You took me for a ride
Drove me half out my mind
Now you’re cruising back this way – 
Honey, I ain’t got the time 
There ain't no gettin' round the past
Watch the door don't hit you in the....

Chorus:
Get the Truck out of here
go on back to your new wife
I thought I made it clear 
When I told you goodbye
I don’t need your second-hand love
No I won't even shed a tear..
Babe I've had enough so get the truck outta here

bridge:
Well Maybe just one night wouldn’t hurt since you've been so sincere                      
Maybe this time it could work...or maybe you could just

Chorus:
Get the Truck out of here
go on back to your new wife
I thought I made it clear 
When I told you goodbye
I don’t need your second-hand love
No I won't let ya tow me back there..
Babe I've had enough..so get the truck outta here

I Still Like Livin' (I Still Love Life)
David L. Graham 33%/Vaughan Ray Daniel 33%/David Kintaro 34%


I ain't gonna meet the Beatles
There's only two of 'em left
I won't ever sing for the Eagles
Vince Gill got the job instead
I ain't gonna talk to the Queen
It seems we've run out of time
But I still like livin'
I still love life

chorus:
I still like livin'
I still love life
I still greet the morning
And layin' down each night
I've had to quit some big dreams
To give little ones a try
I still like livin'
I still love life

I won't ever be in the movies
Never been to Hollywood
Don't look like Pratt or Clooney
but hey, man, it's all good
some stuff is just a given
no need to wonder why
I still like livin'
I still love life

chorus:

bridge:
I'll make it to a hundred years if I am blessed
Looking forward to every day
And there will be some times that I protest, and yet
I can't always get things to go my way
tag: But that's okay

I know I'm an aging guy
The years have been racing on by
But I don't like being reminded of it much
It's being made understood
Almost every place I look
Especially the music I once loved

chorus:
George and John are dead
Led Zeppelin's mostly lead
Rock and roll ain't what it use to be
The Boss's hair is gray
Grace Slick has varicose veins
Bon Jovi's on the cover of the AARP

verse:
It fillls me with fear and dread
All my heros are all dying or dead
And I could be next anytime or anyplace
I guess when all is said and done
That could be true for anyone
No One knows how long we have to wait

repeat chorus:

bridge:
Yeah, Bon Jovi's on the cover of
A magazine that old folks love
Bragging about the sinning he once did, he said
He said, he was far from a Saint
In his good old rock star days
Hoping he could coax some shame  
From his sweet Grand Kids
tag: I sure hope he did

repeat chorus:

Believe The World Needs You
Vaughan Ray Daniel/David L.Graham/Mark Kaufman

 
If you're thinkin'
You have nothing to offer
To a world that seems to thrive on selfishness
You'll start believin'
There's no reason to bother
While day by day you're caring less and less
 Isn't it time you understood
 Doing nothing isn't doing nothing good?

chorus:
Believe the world needs you
Everything you are and everything you do
It needs your love and your prayers
Your dreams, schemes and dares
Don't close your eyes to the truth
Believe the world needs you

Now you're saying
That you're just one person
How could you ever hope to make a difference?
You keep on making
Excuses 'cause you're certain
That the world will go on turning in the end
 Open your eyes and take a look
 Each life is another page in the book

 repeat chorus:

bridge:
You can change a life
Love can be the light
To take the darkness away
To keep the darkness away

repeat chorus;

Believe The World Needs You

Dog Is God Spelled Backwards
Vaughan Ray Daniel/David L. Graham/Chris Merkling


chorus:
Dog is God spelled backwards
And what a great idea that was
Dog is God spelled backwards
Because a dog is unconditional love

When you're sad he's there to cheer you
And When you're bad he doesn't fear you
He's your buddy no matter what you do
Through thick and thin he's always there for you

repeat chorus:

When you cry he'll lay beside you
If you're blind he's there to guide you
If you're lonesome he'll be your companion
And give you trust and understandin'

repeat chorus:

bridge:
God created dogs to be faithful and true
That's why they call 'em man's best friend
You can't adopt a dog without him adopting you
So it seems to all make perfect sense

repeat chorus:

Dog Is God Spelled Backwards
