Christine


A little too brave, a little too cute, a little too sharp
Christine went out swimming with the sharks one night
Now she walks the streets with that glazed look in her eyes
And know one  seems to miss her and I wonder why

Christine, where are you to night
Christine, I wonder if you're all right
Church bells are ringing out your name
Christine, Christine

A little to much, a little too fast, a little too strong
She approaches  some gentlemen  and asks if they might
Like some company, a little half and half tonight
And if they say yes, she's off into the night

Christine, where are you to night
Christine, I wonder if you're all right
Church bells are ringing out your name
Christine, Christine

A little too bright, a little too clear, a little too soon
The sunlight chases the morning moon
It signals the end of her working day
Tell me how long can she go on this way

Christine, where are you to night
Christine, I wonder if you're all right
Church bells are ringing out your name
Christine, Christine

SLOW


I saw him driving this car before
Candy apple red and that music thumping
I never thought I had a chance 
But here I am like a princess cruising

I can hear his heart beat picking up its pace
I can see that longing emotion on his face

Take it slow
Baby take it slow
No need to rush on in
Let’s ease into this thing
Take my hand and we’ll begin
Ain’t no race we’re running
Baby take it slow

I know I’m playing with dynamite
He’s ready to explode like a rock guitar string
But if I give him what he needs
This stories gonna have a real sad ending

There are no red lights stopping you
So take your time and I’ll come through

Take it slow
Baby take it slow
No need to rush on in
Let’s ease into this thing
Take my hand and we’ll begin
Ain’t no race we’re running
Baby take it slow

Please leave me alone



You're usin' me up
You're wearing' me down
You're everywhere baby
You're always around

At first I thought it was so sweet
Now I can't seem to get me no peace

Like walkin' on Egg shells
Like liven' in hell

Please leave me alone
Please lease me alone
Just leave me alone


You're the life guard baby
That just can't swim
You're the school bus driver 
Stinking of gin
You want to steer the ship
But you can't see
Your blinded by love
And I'm your casualty


In my mind I'm floating on an Island
Somewhere where there are no spoken words
Not a word
To be heard

So show me an exit
Point to the sign
Give me a ticket
And I'll be fine
Far far away from the 
Madding crowd
Where the music is playing
Ever so loud

That Little Girl of Mine


She's more than I asked for 
Much more than I deserve
She gives me such lovin'
She rocks my world
Who could imagine
She'ld choose to love me
She's so fine
That little girl of mine
She don't keep no secrets
She don't tell no lies
With just one kiss
My hearts in over drive
She's so understanding
And forgiving too
She's so fine
That little girl of mine
I don't know what this life will bring
But I'm happy just to go for the ride
I don't know what she does to me
but what she does to me is just fine
That little girl of mine
I don't need no Jaguar
or no swimming pool
I got a good women
and soothes my soul
Who could imagine
She'ld choose to love me
She's so fine
That little girl of mine

Just a Bird in New York City


She looks so small you would never know
The strength that she has within
Watch her now as she readies to go
Surrender to the heavens

White clouds hover above so thin
She lifts her head to the sky
She's up and off such a glorious spin
Listen to that songful cry

Now she's up, up and away
On her musical journey
Up, up and away
Just a Bird in New York City

Lilting little melodies
Become huge crescendo
Riffing through steadily
Any way the wind blows

Now she soars higher than
Places  you've never imagined
Who would bet such a song
Could be set to rhythm and reason

Surely this is magic I see
She let's the music set her free
So free

Now she's up, up and away
On her musical her journey
Up, up and away
Just a bird in New York City
Such a bird in New York City

Beneath those constellations


Sun has set
Beyond the horizon
Moon has risen
In the outer realms

Stars shining
Over my head
World is silent
All is peaceful and still

It's a whisper
It's a sigh
It's a moment
You can't pass by
Right here by my side
Beneath those constellations

Crickets chirping
In the dark
Nightingale singing
Now it's twilight

A quiet moment
We're all alone
Everything is calm
Now we're finally home

It's a whisper
It's a sigh
It's a moment
You can't pass by
Right here by my side
Beneath those constellations

Key West Time


The sun is shining
Ain't a cloud in the sky
I got the top pulled down
Got by baby by my side
Take south bound U. S.  one
Headed straight for fun
Leaving all our troubles and worries behind
On Key West Time
Key West Time
Key West
Key West
Key West
Key West
We’re going down to Key West
And have us a real good time
There's a frozen Margaretta
That's calling my name
At a bar in Oldtown
Where we'll rock the night away
Nobody has a care
We'll be working on our tans
Leaving all our troubles and worries behind
On Key West Time
Key West Time
So if you get those winter time blues
Longing for that I love you
Pack you bages and hit the road
You don't need a map
Here's all you need to know
Take south bound U. S.  one
Headed straight for fun
Leaving all our troubles and worries behind
On Key West Time
Key West Time
Key West
Key West
Key West
Key West
We’re going down to Key West
And have us a real good time
