Big And Bright And Beautiful (Logic Pro X Redux 8/26/2020) 04:54
lyrics
buy track
Big and Bright and Beautiful Like my women big and bright and beautiful… Just like my wine, yeah big and bright and beautiful… I saw her in my mind; she was larger than life and beautiful! Shooting through the sky, yeah, big and bright and beautiful… Makes me think, “Hot damn, there’s just got to be another way…” Dress to impress, give your very best, Beg, borrow and pray… Always saw myself as someone else, Someone who’d one day be big and bright and beautiful…. Whoa ho! Well, welcome to the family! Maybe someday you’re gonna be a daddy… And people will ask you “Is it a boy or a girl?” And you’ll just say, “I think they’re big and bright and beautiful!” Big and bright and beautiful, Some days it sounds so wonderful, But things in life ain’t always black and white... Shooting stars up in the sky, That twinkles in her eyes tonight, Makes me want to stay and get things right… Nowhere left to stand, did she leave you for another man? Now none of this makes any sense, no more bad news, it’s too intense… There’s a corner you can drop me off, I’ll just try to walk this off… Well, look at me, still sitting here at this old bar… A few more drinks then we can drive away in my old car… Not such a bright idea but I’m the master of my fate… I’ll put the keys in your beautiful hands before it’s too late… Looking not so wise, just drunk and dumb and beautiful. Won’t you please be nice, cause I’m drunk and dumb and beautiful? I’ll take my own advice, like I’m really just a Buddha… Hey, aren’t we all just drunk and dumb and beautiful? Count the stars up in the sky, That twinkles in your eyes tonight, Makes me want to stay with you all night… Big and bright and beautiful, Go on and call me Mr. Pitiful, “Any brighter flame would be a lie…” Rewrite 3/5/2016 Decatur, GA Music and lyrics by Art Linton C & P 2020 Portable Jesus Music (ASCAP).

Save my life, why don’t you? Such a hardheaded man… I do what I can to keep it in motion! Bless my soul, why won’t you? Got my head in the sand… And I’m surrounded by an ocean… Well, life is long! Let me walk beside you… You’re feeling lost, need some help to guide you… A heavy heart, lighten up your load… And together we will walk On down this open road! Well, bless your heart! You came to see me! There’s a knock at my door… Does anyone live here anymore? Yea, the light’s still on, The arms are still open… You say you’ve heard that before… Yea, but I’m willing to give just a little bit more! The night is long! Let me walk beside you… Say you’re feeling lost, need some help to guide you… A heavy heart, lighten up your load… And together we will walk On down this open road! Yeah! The night is long! Let me walk beside you… Say you’re feeling lost, need some help to guide you… A heavy heart, lighten up your load… And together we will walk On down this open road! Well, life is long! Let me walk beside you… You’re feeling lost, need some help to guide you… A heavy heart, lighten up your load… And together we will walk On down this open road!

Been Too Long A Time 03:15

Rolling down life’s open road… You know (more than) a few things crossed my mind… And I find I’ve been this way before… It all looks so familiar… But this time, I’m gonna tell you how I really feel… Been too long, been too long a time… Since I’ve seen you baby, yeah… It’s been too long a time… It’s so amazing… You know I, I can’t hold back the tears… We’ve been, been apart for so many years… Been too long, been too long a time Since I’ve seen you baby… Whoa oh, it’s been too long a time… Been so long since I’ve seen you baby, Without your love you know I’m nearly crazy! Been too long, could it be that maybe? Your smiling face saying you’re my baby? Been too long, been too long a time… Since I’ve seen you baby, Mmmm, it’s been too long a time… I’m gonna tell it like it is… And I never wanna leave, leave you again… Ooooh whoo… Been too long, been too long a time… Yes, it has…

Don't Let It Go To Your Head 04:08

What happened to the revolution? Spent all day in bed… Well, did you find your solution? Try to imagine what you would have said… Don’t let it go to your head… I didn’t hear a word that you said… Don’t let it show, don’t let it go to your head… Rock me mama right through the bed I wish I was so easily led… Rain, sleet or snow Don’t let it go to your head… Well I tried and tried to tell you I just could not let you down… Pulled a cork when I left New York… Ooooh, been too long in this town! Living in and out of trunks, We’re nothing but a bunch of drunks… Oh, feeling alone in history… Got to find my way out of here… I can’t stay around one more year! Oh, why we say, “I do’s” such a mystery… Well, don’t let it go to your head… I didn’t hear a word that you said… Don’t let it show, don’t let it go to your head… Well, rock me mama right through the bed I wish I was so easily led… Rain, sleet or snow Don’t let it go to your head… Everybody’s gotten so intense! It’s a wonder that there aren’t more accidents… Don’t make sense on the fence… No one wins these kinds of arguments… Some days I’m sure that something’s wrong (oh, yea)… Feeling like we don’t belong, no matter what we did… And so many days of wine And garden party roses fine We’re daylight bandits, night Symphony Sids Or maybe more like Pancho and the Cisco Kid! Don’t let it go to your head… When you’re trippin’ like the Grateful Dead Win, place or show, don’t you let it go to your head! Well, now you serve me breakfast in bed… But you know I’m not so easily fed… Whoa, domino, don’t let it go to your head!

Baby! Save me! I can’t stand another day without you! Waiting, hoping, praying… You know I’m such a fool about you! Such a fool for you! Such a fool for you! Baby! I been living in a lonely world… Missing all your hugs and kisses girl! You know blues ain’t all the ladies fault! You best stay in the game and get what you want! Baby! Save me! I can’t stand another day without you! Waiting, believe you’re saying, “You know, I’m such a fool about you!” Such a fool for you! Such a fool for you! Girl, you’re the only one that’s on my mind… Without you I’m just killing time… It means so much to feel your touch, We can go slow and easy, always such a rush! Well, I’ll keep wishing and I’ll keep waiting I’ll keep on hoping, I’ll keep on praying… Is the price of love well worth the wait? With you and me baby, there’s no debate! Yea, you know I got a worried mind! So, pour another glass of wine… Or make a margarita on the rocks… Won’t you open up the gift? Let’s see what’s in the box! Baby! Going crazy! I can’t stand another day without you! Hell, I’m healthy, getting wealthy… But no pressure or pulse without you… Such a fool for you! I’m such a fool for you! Such a foooool for yoooou, ooooh!

Irony Of Life (acoustic version) 03:36
lyrics
buy track
And so she's leaving me, There's really nothing I can do but cry, 'Cause there's not a single kiss goodbye, I don't know how I'll get along but I will try, Nothing's gonna save me from the Irony of Life. And I'll be alone again, I'll be alone again, But it really is no problem, The only enemy is boredom. . . . She always told me so, That I would take her love for granted, and that one day she would go, and why I didn't listen I just don't know, Maybe it's because for me that Love is hard to show. . . . I'll be alone again, I'll be alone again, But am I really just kidding myself, That I really didn't need someone else, To take away the pain of life? And in the darkest nights, When the night is silent, And in my deepest dreams, Maybe she'll come back to me, And maybe someday I will see, That love is just another Irony of Life. . . .

Worst Of Lovers Best Of Friends 02:33
lyrics

Stay with me just one more night I can’t believe it’s really over And when we wake up in the morning light Maybe this storm will have blown over I hear you say we tried everything And that all good things must end I never thought I’d see you take off your wedding ring Worst of lovers, best of friends. Well the best was not to be Our one and one never would make three And as our lives rolled slowly by I never saw those tear drops in your eyes I think of all the roses that I didn’t bring Maybe mine was a heart you couldn’t win And you know now I can’t even think of a song to sing Except worst of lovers, best of friends. As you closed the door to leave Noticed there weren’t many hearts left on your sleeve Guess we wasted all these years For better or for worse it’s sad how love disappears I hear you say you must be leaving now You can no longer just pretend Yes you know I’ll always love you anyhow Worst of lovers, best of friends Yes you know I’ll always love you anyhow Worst of lovers, best of friends…

Worth Fighting For 03:16
lyrics

She said get away from me you’re crazy She said your mind is much too lazy You’ve sold us down the river And nothing you can say will ever forgive you…. We’ve lost the only thing we’re fighting for Which is love, which is freedom We were hand in hand, but now the honeymoon is over This is real this is now It’s the fight for your life but will you know how? I was taken down this road by a madman Signs full of bullet holes in the desert sand Hanging bridges all were burned I looked round for my friends, I had nowhere left to turn Now I’m just looking for a shining star I’m done with the devil, wanna be where you are…. Have we lost the only thing worth fighting for? Is this love, is this freedom? We were hand in hand, but now the honeymoon is over Is this real is this now? Will you fight for your life well will you know how? Know it all look through the eyes of these motherless children Like a property tax on a burned out building Fortune teller dies of a heart attack You uncover the truth and you never wanna look back…. I think we’ve lost the only things worth fighting for This is love, this is freedom We were hand in hand, but now the honeymoon is over This is real this is now It’s the fight for your life but will you know how?

Like A Shadow 04:26
lyrics

Walking down the road with my Higher Self, She said to me, "Why don't you take a breath?" It was a long day, you know its been a long day. . . . Walking down the road with my Higher Self, She said to me, "You think you're someone else, that's why I say, Yea, that's the reason that I say:" "Oh, the friends I've known and the things I've shown you, the sun shines through their face. Walking down the road on a sunny day makes all the evil just fade away, Like A Shadow Like A Shadow Like A Shadow Like A Shadow" Then I asked my Higher Self,"Would you explain to me the grip of Death, And just why children of innocence must die? Why is there such suffering? Why is there such pain? Such unbelievable tragedy will drive the world insane! Tell me why? Tell me why? Everyone's got to have a Big Car? Everyone's got to be a Big Star? Everyone's rich at anothers expense? Everyone's drunk, yea everyone's pissed? Tell me why? Tell me why?" About this time I was out of breath, she said to me, "You're afraid of Death?" I said, "I don't know". "No," she said,"you don't know!" She said, "Man is the one who has created Death, because he loves to kid himself, And that's why the time is passing by. . . . (but in the twinkle of an eye), you'll know why. . . ."
