Should a moon so full and these stars go to waste
Why don't we just jump in my car and go someplace
Far away from this town and its bad attitude
'Til it's just you and I and this July moon
Don't these hot summer days move as slow as a snail
While I just wait around for the night to prevail
And the cool evening breeze through the trees plays a tune
Meant for just you and I and this July moon
Chorus
In the summer night
Then the time is right
To fall in love
It's no wonder that
When you're under that
Big moon above
Solo
Chorus
We can park in the dark where the road meets the sea
Falling stars all around while you're fallin' for me
Make believe we're alone on an island marooned
'Till it's just you and I and this July moon

Now tell me friend did you ever see so sweet a sight
As Miss Queen of Hearts out on the floor, her skirt so tight
A boppin' baby who's a guaranteed delight
To steal your heart tonight
Miss Queen of Hearts is a juke box girl, you know the type
Rockin' & rollin' honky tonkin' most every night
When the music begins the girl starts to spin
The feeling's hard to fight
Chorus
Juke box girl's got a hole in her shoes from dancin' all the time
Juke box girl, when're you gonna be mine
When you go to the place where the music keeps you
'Til the night is gone
Juke box girl, when you gonna come home
A couple of drinks and a couple of laughs you're feelin' smart
She's makin' you feel your favorite dream is about to start
Then the music begins, tears you apart
She'll dance into your heart
'Cause you just can't win with a juke box girl, you're bound to lose
She'll make you a slave to her juke box ways and her high heel shoes
She's gonna slip you in one dance or two
The juke box baby blues
Chorus 2x

Juke box girl, when you gonna come home
Juke box girl, when you gonna come home
I mourn that morning, honey, when you walked out on me
I miss you now like rivers miss the sea
I need your sweet love darling, like a man needs work and food
'Cause you know my world is empty without you
How many times can I tell you I love you like I do
How often can I offer to be there
As often as the sun comes up
As long as there are stars above
That's about the size and time frame to my boundless love
Now every night I walk the floor still dreaming of your charms
And all the nights I spent there in your arms
I haunt the same old places where we used to go as one
(But) your shadow's there, and I'm always on the run
No matter what I do I cannot get you off my mind
And I'm not certain that I care to try
'Cause after all you've been to me
The phrase "from sea to shining sea"
Can't begin to clue you in
To my boundless love
The mem'ry of the times we spent together dogs my days
When evening comes and it still ain't done
I'm up and on my way
So tonight at nine, I'm feeling fine and looking good as well
Knockin' back shots at Bob's Bar and Grill
The mood I'm in is skin on skin, but that don't touch you none
It ain't no use, I'm born to lose you hon...
No one alive could ever hope to touch me like you done
You were the best damn thing I ever had
But after all is said and done
I only know you were the one
I'll always love you, no one above you
That's called boundless love
I'll always love you, no one above you
That's called boundless love
I'll always love you, no one above you
That's called boundless love
I was born in New York City
And I grew up like the rest
My feet were on the city streets
My mind lay on the west
In the movies and the music
Soon a dream began to grow
It wasn't long before I had to go
Califron-ya Californ-ya called my name
and bade me come to you
Califron-ya Californ'
Your golden coast and Pacific Blue
Yeah, for awhile you made my dreams come true
How I miss you, sweet Pomona
Where my journey came to end
You took me in your summer arms
And held me like a friend
And the moonlight on the ocean
Down in Venice by the sea
How often now in dreams you come to me
Californ-ya Californ' ya called my name
and bade me come to you
Californ'-ya Californ'
Your golden coast and your skies of blue
Yeah, for a while you made my dreams come true
Californ-ya Californ' ya called my name
and bade me come to you
Californ-ya Californ'
Ya stole my heart and left me lost in you
Ah, but for a while you made my dreams come true
I ride half a Harley and I'm half a man
My life is in the garbage can
And I really hate to be so down
But I've been here so long it looks like up to me
Mister, raise another cup to me
And if you pass me going up I'll be hangin' 'round
Chorus
Cause I'm doin' time on planet earth
Ever wonder why
Doin time, since my birth
Reachin' for the sky
Reachin' for the sky
About the only thing that could help me now
Is Hank Sr. on the stereo
So please do me right and put some on
I need to hear that lonesome whistle blow
Pole the pirog on the bayou
Anything, anything just get me gone
Chorus
You can lead a horse to water
But that won't make him drink
You can tell a man the facts of life
But that won't make him think
You can live life to the fullest
Or die before your prime
But there's one thing I'm sure you know
We're all just doin' time

Wishful Drinkin'
by Egan, Kelly
Friday night rolls around in this city
And my week of workin' is done
I got some bread and I'm sittin' pretty
Tonight I need to have me some fun
My friends all say it's best its over
And they're taking me out on the town
To celebrate that I'm free
And toast your memory
That will be fading with every new round
Chorus
Wishful drinkin', lets make it a double
Then maybe all my wishes will come true
Like I wish we'd never net
And that I could forget
Wishful drinkin' still thinkin' 'bout you
Well I'm feelin' just fine around midnight
And I'm flirtin' with somebody new
She's sweet as she can be
But then it dawned on me
Right there in her eyes I saw you
Chorus
Bridge
Tequila, whiskey, champagne and wine
Just don't seem to get you off my mind
When you wish upon a star they tell you
All the dreams that you dream will come to you
When you wish upon a bar
No matter who you are
It's just one more headache when you're through
Chorus

Hearts On Fire
by Egan, Guidera
Chorus
Hearts on fire
My love for you meant only misery
Hearts on fire
Put out the flame and set this cold heart free
One short year our love had burned
Until at last I guess you learned
The art of being untrue
And then goodbye, what could I do
Except to cry and moan "Lord what have I done?"
Once we were as free and warm
As the golden morning sun
Chorus
Friends say it's just a game
And that no one is to blame
Go out forget her lies
But she'll be there and sparks will fly
My love has turned to hatred
Sleep escapes me still
God please take this heart of mine
If you don't, the devil will
Chorus
Carolina Calypso
by Parsons, Egan
May I lift your ears that you might hear an old tale that we spin
'Bout the perfect stranger, his golden box, a whole lotta sunshine within
He ran outside and opened it up, saw it carried to the four winds
That's just about where his whole story begins
It was late one day down in sunny Durham when the stranger stepped from the train
Unpacked his sack with a big ol' smile started strumming strong and fair
As a crowd turned out at the depot
He got it goin' real good right there
Said this one's called the Carolina calypso
Kept time with his dusty feet
Sun like gold behind the hickory trees
while his children were dancin' in the street
Chorus
Carolina calypso
Come see me tonight
Let your voice surround me like a thousand arms
Sing me through the towns and back to the farm
Carolina calypso
Come see me tonight
Come out and see when the time grows right, honey we're with friends
The moon will rise 'bove the hickory trees like silver fire again
If you happen to be a stranger in town might take a friend's advice
Grab yourself a railroad gal and come with us tonight
I said kick off your shoes and your downtown blues
Come with us tonight
Get down one time for Carolina calypso
Keep time with your dusty feet
The sky is gonna pale 'cross the old moss trail
While his children are dancin' in the street
Chorus
Learn how to love me
Learn how to treat me right
You know it's pretty easy
But it don't happen overnight
It takes some time and effort
You gotta pay your dues
But you get what you give, so darling
Tell me how we can lose
If you learn how to love me
Learn how to love me
Learn how to help me through the night
Learn how to love me
Learn how to love me
Learn how to make me feel alright
You know you gotta wanna, that's lesson number one
If you need some inspiration, I'll provide you some
There's women out there in the world who're mighty happy to
Steal your man and do the things that he wants you to do
So just learn how to love me
Learn how to love me
Learn how to make me understand
Learn how to love me
And velvet glove me
Learn how to tell me I'm your man
When you learn how to love me
Learn how to treat me nice
They'll see it when we are together
See it in your eyes
And when that time has come at last
I'll be happy to
Get my education
And learn how to love you, too
Then I'll learn how to love you
Learn how to love you
Learn how to help you understand
Learn how to love you
And turtle dove you
Learn how to tell you I'm your man
Learn how to tell you I'm your man
Well, I should have known better
Than to think that I could hold you
A goddess can't belong to just one man
It was sure fun while it lasted
But now the thrill is gone
Still I speak your name to everyone I can
Chorus
Exquisite torture
Is what you gave to me
Exquisite torture ,what a shame
Exquisite torture
I never can be free
We loved each other but our love's in vain
I was happy in my misery
But I should have realized
If you walked in I'd never be the same
And sure enough it happened
Just like they say it does
In many works of fiction I could name
Chorus
You visit every morning and every evening, too
You're with me as the day goes crawling by
You come to me when I'm alone
Its out of my control
In my mind we still go through life side by side

In vain, in vain

(I'm A)Burning Bridge
by Perry, Egan
What's the use of crying over things that can't be changed
I should pick up all the pieces of the me that still remains
But all I've got's this aching heart, burning with desire
You left me cold and on my own but still my soul's on fire
I remember you and me the way we used to be
And even though I'm on my own, I never can be free
Since I'm flying solo, I've never felt so low
I don't know who lit this flame, but here's one thing I know
Chorus
I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge
I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge
I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge
I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge, I'm a burning bridge
The present that you left me was to be left in the past
I never thought forever would ever some so fast
You've chosen to be on your own, I guess I should've seen it
But when you said you needed me, I needed you to mean it
Chorus
This dirty ole' town got a heart like a piston
Got a dirty mind and a bad disposition
It'll knock you down if you don't stand steady
It'll cut you up like a mean machete
When I first hit town like a lamb to the slaughter
With my lofty dreams I was made to order
First they claimed my pride then they drained my patience
Left me lonely for left-behind relations
Chorus
Oooh, oooh
In my heart a voice says "go"
Hittin' the road, and I'm hittin' the road
I just can't take anymore
Headin' for home, and I'm headin' for home
When I started out I was bound for glory
But my tale turned into a hard luck story
I can face the fact, but I can't admit it
It's so hard to lose, it's so hard to quit it
Chorus
Bridge
Back home the stars at night
Outshine these neon lights
'Cause a man needs love and a man needs a purpose
Not a heartless three-ring big city circus
You can search the world 'till you're blind from lookin'
But there's nothin' tastes sweet as real home cookin'
Chorus 2x
Chorus
What the world needs now is love
Just one thing we need more of
We're low on the good stuff
And you can never get enough
If you stop and take
A little look around
It'll make you shake
When you hear the sound
On the TV news
With their point of view
Its pretty clear
that we're not there
Chorus
Out on the street
Pick up the beat
When you wanna die
Give a battle cry
Reach down in your soul
And become whole
Take a stand
Be a better man
Chorus 2x
I woke to find that I was dead
At least that's what St. Peter said
I asked him what went down and why
He just said it was a good day to die
