Half of My Life

Lyrics:
I put my things inside a bag
An empty house save for the cat
Brought things to eat for later on
Packed up the car and that was that
Half of my life is in this bag
I brought a candle for some light
I brought some wine to offer up
An open bottle for the night
I am rambling on and on
If you miss me candle wax shows where I’ve gone
I am driving down the road
The open bottle at my feet
And where I’m bound I do not know
At least I've brought some things to eat
Half of my life is in this car
I gas her up and fill the tank
The road is long it takes me far
The open bottle is to thank
I am rambling on and on
If you miss me bread crumbs will show where I’ve gone
Time I traveled on my own
Will you follow me?
I left you clues along the way
Shall I count on you to see?
I’m pulling up to happy home
Leaving the car parked on the street
And half my life I’m taking in
The open bottle, things to eat
It’s just a room, a bed, four walls
The glowing candle staves the dark
I offer wine up to the gods
The spilling drops will leave their mark
I am rambling on and on
If you miss me wine drops will show where I’ve gone
If you miss me it’s too late, I’ve already gone

I'll See You Again

Lyrics:
I’m leaving from this sad empty room
I’m going, gonna follow the moon
And baby, I don’t know
I don’t know when I’ll see you again
This time has been hard on my mind
And even though I don’t know what I’ll find
I feel it’s been a long time coming
But I do know I’ll see you again
You know it ain’t easy to break away
I’m leaving my heart here
Don’t know what else to say
So don’t lose hope baby
Don’t you cry
I’ll be here at my first chance to try
Cuz I know, oh baby I know
I know I’ll see you again
You know it ain’t easy to break away
I’m leaving my heart here
Don’t know what else to say
So don’t lose hope baby
Don’t you cry
I’ll be here, I’ll be here at my first chance to try
Cuz I know, oh baby I know
I know I’ll see you again

Gimme All Your Love

Lyrics:
He came around to get me one night
He said, “Now baby don’t you put up a fight”
He took both my hands and said, “Now girl, I’m you’re man
and you know I’ll keep you feeling just right”
“Gimme all your love. Gimme all your love”
That’s what he said to me, “Gimme all your love”
“Baby, you know I’ll keep you feeling just right.
Come on girl, we’ll rock the darkness out of the night”
He took me round to meet all his friends
and kept eying me as if we’re alone
He pulled me outside and said, “Let’s go for a ride,
I can’t wait until I get you back home”
“Gimme all your love. Gimme all your love”
That’s what he said to me, “Gimme all your love”
“Baby, you know I’ll keep you feeling just right.
Come on girl, we’ll rock the darkness out of the night”
Now teasing isn’t something he does
If you want it babe, you just gotta say
He’s knows how to groove, you know he’s got all the moves
and he’s ready, willing, able to play
“Gimme all your love. Gimme all your love”
That’s what he said to me, “Gimme all your love”
“Gimme all your love. Gimme all your love”
That’s what he said to me

Lyrics:
I take the road less travelled by
and on the street I saw you through the rain
I take the road less travelled by
you found me though to shield you from your pain
Now who’s to gain?
I… I’m already gone
Why… I wondered for so long
Goodbye. It’s all wrong.
I take the road less travelled by
and on the highest peak I sang your sins
I take the road less travelled by
and on that path you know nobody wins
Nobody wins
I… I’m already gone
Why… I wondered for so long
Goodbye. It’s all wrong.
The higher road is calling me
Maybe this time I’ll let it be
I take the road less travelled by
and in the morning light I’m not alone
I take the road less travelled by
my feet will always guide me to my home
Where’er I roam
I… I’m already gone
Why… I wondered for so long
Goodbye. Was never wrong.
Goodbye. It’s said and done
Goodbye. It’s said and done

Nothing Swing

Lyrics:
Nothing could keep away these blues
Nothing could keep away these blues
Well it’s 1-2-3
That’s what my baby said to me
He said, “Nothing could keep away these blues”
Oh no!
Nothing could keep me out all night
Nothing could help you put it right
Well it’s 4-5-6
Come out with me baby double quick
Because nothing could keep me out all night
Nothing can make me quit this song
Got a fever to sing that’s burning all day long
And if 2 by 2 is 4
Then play with me baby a little bit more
Because nothing could make me quit this song
Nothing could keep me from this band
Got the hottest musicians ever in this land
and if 3 by 3 is 9
Then play with me fellas one more time
I said nothing
No nothing
Nothing
No nothing
Nothing could keep me from the blues
