These songs got off to great start but circumstances changed and I never quite got them completed. I have posted unmixed versions
on the net though. Someday I may go back to the studio and finish them. There are some world class musicians working
with me on this project and the finished product should be a fine collection of orignal tunes.

Never Want to Let You Go (slow ballad in G)
Im sittin here wondering what
youre doin tonight Im sittin here hopin everything is alright And Im wishin I was sittin by your side
Holding onto you so tight
Cause I miss you and I love you and I want you to know That I never
should have let you go Cause I want you and I need you..... in my heart know That I never wanna let you go
I hear that you have found somebody new Do ya do the crazy things that we used to do And I sure
hope that he is bein good to you Holdin onto you so tight
But I miss you and I love you and I want
you to know That I never should have let you go Cause I want you and I need you..... in my heart you know
That I never wanna let you go
Its a crazy ol world we live in Things keep on movin so fast
Things that we hope are forever Never seem to last
I wonder if you look into your memory I
wonder if you ever think about me Think about the days that used to be With me holdin onto you so tight
Cause I miss you and I love you and I want you to know That I never should have let you go Cause
I want you and I keep you..... in my heart you know And Im never gonna let you go

True Love ( D )
I have a faded photograph Ive
carried now for years The corners curled, the colour gone But I still hold it near I take it out and
look at it When I need you here To guide me through my troubled times I always turn to you I
guess thats love True.....love
I saw a man the other day With flowers in his hand He
knelt before a small boys grave And laid them in the sand I swear that I could hear his heart Pounding
like a drum He cried a tear and said a prayer For his peaceful sleeping son I guess thats love
True....... love
Solo
Momma cried when Daddy died But moms still goin strong
Its been near twenty years Since Daddys been gone I could never understand How love could be so
strong And why she didnt need someone To help her carry on I guess thats love True.........love
Love is sweet Love is real Cant be seen But you can feel it
Love is strong Love is true There aint never been no love Like this love that I keep hidden deep
down in my heart for you

Turn Around (d----6/8 )
This love in my heart is like a half finished novel I can read
the lines that were written for me Your smile is as warm as a soft summer breeze But you heart is as cold
as the sea
Cant you see that I love you Cant you see that I care Cant you see when you need
me I am always right there
Cant you feel what Im feelin Cant you share what I share Whenever
you want me Turn around Ill be there
My love is a wheel that keeps on turnin On a road that
is goin nowhere My love is a fire that keeps on burnin The flame will always be there
Dont
you care that I love you Dont you care that I care When your heart needs a friend Im always right
there
Dont you feel what Im feelin Wont you share what I share Whenever you want me Turn
around Ill be there
If there was a way I could make you love me Ild climb every mountain, I would
swim every sea I would wrap all my dreams in a blanket of roses And lay down with you close to me
Cant you see that I love you Cant you see that I care In the shadows of your mind
Im always right there
Cant you feel what Im feelin Cant you share what I share Whenever
you want me Turn around Ill be there
Fade out

Mississippi ( E ) Swampy blues
Moonlight drippin
off the cypress tree Seems to conjure up a memory Of this pretty little lady that I know down in Tupelo
Drivin my rig down this winding road And Vince Gill is playin on the radio Singin bout the way
the Dixie ladies can love ya so
Cant get over what she did to me When we slipped out the back down
by the levee On a hot sticky southern night in mid July
Down in M I SS I SS I PP I Miss M
I SS I SS I PP I
She had a way to move my soul But I know I wont see her any more
solo
Sweet little waitress in that redneck bar We made love beneath the southern stars And she could
make love like love aint been made before
The only talkin done was done with our eyes I kissed her
soft lips as she held me so tight She held me like she was never gonna let me go
The night time faded
into mornin light I had to be in Tampa by nine that night She kissed me once again and I knew that it was
kiss good-bye
To miss M I SS I SS I PP I Yeah miss M I SS I SS I PP I

Dreams (e)
My love for you has no beginning My
love for you it has no end For I can feel you deep within me Places where no one has been
I
see you in the flowers growin I see you in the stars above I see you in the leaves a-blowin I see
you in the my dreams my love
The light of love is burning brightly A torch Ill carry till the end
I will look back and smile slightly That I was blessed to be your friend
I see you in the rivers
flowin I hear you in a sweet sweet song I see you in the moon a-glowin I hold you in my dreams my
love
If you should ever call my name out In the stillness of the long cool night I would come
to you with arms wide opened To comfort you til mornins light
I see you in the flowers growin
I see you in the moon above I feel you in the wind a-blowin I feel you in my dreams my love
I long to share your happy moments And help you through your times of pain When you have no one to turn
to Til you can gain control again
I see you in the rivers flowin I see in the stars above
Though my life is empty, least Im knowin Ill kiss you in my dreams my love

You Drive Me Crazy ( E )
This battered
ol' heart is nearly fallin' apart And my mind just stays in a haze I kinda' wish it could be, but I dont wanna
see You ever change your promiscuous ways
You drive me crazy Girl ya drive me right out of
my mind You drive me crazy The way you shake.. your sexy body When your checkin on down the line
Sometimes I feel like a spinnin wheel Spinnin around and round I never really know where youre
goin Or where youre comin from
You drive me crazy Child ya drive me right out out my mind
You drive me crazy The way that ya shake... your sexy body When your checkin, on down the line
If I had half a brain would be on my way But I really dont know what I would do I just cant imagine spendin
the days Of the rest of my life without you
You drive me crazy Girl ya drive me right out
of my mind You drive me crazy The way you shake ..your sexy body When your checkin on down the line
Sometimes I take a walk in the park In the middle of the afternoon And I stop and look into the
babbling brook To get my mind off you......(and I dream my dreams of you)
You drive me crazy Girl
ya drive me right out of my mind You drive me crazy The way you shake.. your sexy body When your checkin
on down the line

KIM
( G )
It used to be Kimberly Walking here beside me Walking by the river in the Spring
I could hear the robin sing I could do most anything When I had Kimberly with me
I
got down on bended knee Looking up at Kimberly Asked her to wear my diamond ring
Kimberly
smiled at me Told me that she loved me But she had another on her mind
Oh Kim What
cha doin with him You know youre breakin my heart I thought you were mine
Ohhh please bring
your lovin back to me
What ever happened to The love that we once knew Faded away like a memory
I would give the world to be Walkin here with Kimberly Just the way it used to be

LOST LOVE.....C
You
should have seen the smile as she walked down the aisle In her satin and her ribbons and her bows She sure
knew how to hide the way she felt inside But she never could let anybody know She still cries every night
until the mornin light Thinkin bout a love from long ago A love that was so strong it keeps on keepin on
A love that just refuses to let go
Shes trying so hard to stop crying She has so much life left
to live The man that is waiting at the altar Will give everything that he can give
SOLO in
"A"
When she closes her eyes her lost love is by her side Though he was called to serve
his country long ago He never did return from the raging war that burned In a country that isnt any more
Now shes marrying a boy that can nearly fill the void Of something that is missing in her soul Theres
has only been one guy that she ever let inside And she was careful not to let her lover know
She trying
so hard to stop crying She still has so much life to live And this man that is waiting at the altar Will
give her everything that he can give
Oh what A frightful day when she turned and walked away And left
the families sittin in their pews The groom he looked so fine til the teardrops filled his eyes When the preacher
couldn't make her say I do Now she sits all alone wondering what went wrong Why her dreams just keep remaining
to be dreams The only one she loves is calling from above And her heart belongs to him eternally
And she's trying so hard to stop crying She still has so much life to live And the man who was standing
at the altar Would have given eveything that he could give.

SHES G0NE (Fast train in E)
Baby left town on a midnight train Said she never
comin back again Dont know what I did that could be so wrong The only thing I know is my baby is gone
Shes gone Shes gone, shes gone, shes go...one
Babys gone And I dont believe
shes ever coming home
Lookin up above at the midnight sky The man in the moon brought a tear to my
eye Thinkin bout my baby made me start to cry If I get any sadder I surely will die
Chorus
Solo
Guess thats the way it was meant to be I just never though it would happen to me
Livin and lovin so happily Now Im sinkin in this sea of misery
Chorus
Solo
That lonesome sound of the whistle blowin Sends a chill right through my bones I would travel
round the world just to bring her home But i dont know where my baby is gone

solo

Its All In The Past
(g)
If you wanted to see me, I was always around If you wanted to talk, you just had to call If
you wanted to love me, you just had to ask But that was so long ago .... All in the past
It
seems like yesterday we were such friends What ever happened, oh how did it end Theres no need to answer,
there was no need to ask It was all so long ago .... .All in the past
Ah ! But you still look
so damn good to me This aint the way its suppose to be Just for this moment I would make time stand
still But it never will
Its so good to see you, I hope things are fine Thankyou for talkin,
you sure eased my mind Who would ever think it could be such a task Love was so long ago All in the
past
If some tomorrow we should meet again We can talk and laugh just like old friends Ill
never reveal how I feel even if you ask It was all so long ago All in the past
Chorus
First verse and out with mandoline

SUNSHINE ( D ) snappy Texas swing beat
Sunshine all around Never
shine on me Im walkin, my head is down But I live in misery
Once I had a little girl Loved
her tenderly One day my sweet baby, up And walked right out on me
Solo X 2 ..guitar piano
Sunshine all around Never shine on me Im walkin, my head is down I live in misery
Now the rain is comin down Falls on me today At least I know the raindrops Will wash these
tears away
Solo X 2....Steel ..Fiddle
Sunshine all around Never shine on me Im
walkin, my head is down I live in misery
Once I had a little girl But that was yesterday

Solo X 4....fiddle..steel..piano..guitar
Sunshine all around Is gonna shine on me today Maybe the sunshine Will put a smile
back on my face
