                                                         Highway to Highway
                                                              (Song Lyrics)
                                           
                                         Free Wheelin Willy the Motorcycle Hillbilly
 
                 Rollin down the Highway at sixty five, bugs in his teeth and his hair looks alive
                           A biker puttin to greener side, tryin to find a new place to ride
    It's free wheelin Willy, the motorcycle hillbilly, and free wheelin really, rides his hog just like a filly 
 
            With grease on his jeans and a chain by his side, ring in his ear and bed rolled and tied
               He's livin life fast but with a steady stride, He's free wheelin Willy of the forgotten tribe 
                                       It's free wheelin Willy, the motorcycle hillbilly
 
                         He pulls in to a bar outside Abilene, where he see's a cajun queen
         They shoot him a shot a brew in a mug, the boy throws his head back and starts to chug
                                      He's free wheelin Willy, the motorcycle hillbilly
         
                He tells petty mama to get ready to go, fires up his scooter now he's ready to roll 
     When it comes to puttin he's way ahead, got a custom made chopper that's candy apple red
                                      He's free wheelin Willy, the motorcycle hillbilly
 
              Free wheelin Willy must have nine lives, cause he's been shot a couple of times
         Got a tattoo on his belly of a girl named Rose, walks with a limp cause he's missin some toes
           Free wheelin Willy has nine lives or more, but the way he figures he's only used four
              
   He's free wheelin Willy, the motorcycle hillbilly, and free wheelin really, rides his hog just like a filly

                                                            Ode to Johnny Cash
 
                    Drinks wev'e shared a few, we closed those honky tonks just me and you  
               As you sang of pain down in your bones, WelI I tip my hat to old, George Jones
 
         You were the queen of the southern blues, you always sang like you had nothing left to lose
                      You gave your heart and then some, so I tip my hat to Janis Joplin 
 
                             And rock and roll  you always knew, that I loved little Suzy Q
                    I was the clay you were the potter, so I tip my hat to Credence Clear Water
 
               Wine and women and away we ran, and smokin pot alot, well we didn't give a dam
                      Whole lot of pills whiskey and meth, so I tip my hat to old Black Sabbath
 
                    You talked of change, yea you could see, what was inside of, you and me
                        You were a sage singin in the wind , so I tip my hat to old Bob Dylan
 
                 A outlaws ways you shared with us, In your country way as you rymed and cused
                  If the devil where king, well he had your soul,  so I tip my hat to David Alan Cole
 
           To the man in black well I wrote this song, you always said it right when you talk of wrong
       And through all the the mud the blood and the beers, well I tip my hat to Johnny Cash's years

                                                                  Magic
 
                                           I see magic in the morning when I rise
                                           I see magic in the color of the sky
                                           I see magic in sparkle in your eye
                                           oo--w there's magic in life
 
                                           I see magic all around me in the air
                                           I see magic in the sun light on your hair
                                           I see magic in the little childs stare
                                           oo--w there's magic everywhere 
 
                                           I see magic in the moon shinning above
                                           I see magic in the flying of the dove
                                           I feel magic in your soft and gentle hug
                                           oo--w there's magic in love
 
                                           And when I'm all alone there's magic in the night
                                           I feel it all around me without the use of sight
                                           The magic in my mind has turned on the light
                                           And oo--w the magic makes it bright 
 
                                           All of the sudden there's magic in my dreams
                                           It makes it easy now to act on what it brings
                                           What once was fantasy is real now to me
                                           oo--w there's magic in everything

                                                         Something about a Soul
 
                                 Well she moved like a wild thing in the fluid of my sight
                                 As she danced around a fire ring under a canopy of night     
                                 In the reflection in her eyes I saw a beard white as snow
                         And when she said what are you doing here, I said I must be getting old 
 
                       Oh we've got something special here (the girl said) more precious than gold 
                             I said I didn't understand and she whispered something bout a soul 
                             
                               A sky of jewels dressed in firmament a story was to unfold
                                     An older gent very elegant slowly pointed to a road
                                          So I read the petroglyphs on the ancient wall 
                                           It said the one that reads these words
                                                Would be the one that's called
 
   (And the girl said)
                               Oh wev'e got something special her more precious than gold
                              I said I didn't understand and she whispered somethin bout a soul 
 
                            All of the elders they gathered round looked at me as if amazed
                                I didn't speak a word to them I just returned the gaze
                                The trees all swayed with the wind and I felt an erie chill
                             So I flipped the neck up on my coat and stood there deathly still
 
   (And the girl said)
                              Oh wev'e got something special here more precious than gold
                             I said I didn't understand and she whispered something bout a soul 
              
                       I heard the sound of a tom tom drum it was like some lost forgotten art
                         that moved though time on a steady line like some giant beating heart
                           It said that when the end of time is complete the star gate will open
                 that's when the child of light will take his seat and be back on the thone again

                                                                Love Rips
 
                                1.           As the sun went down I tried to love out
                                       I remember standing in front of Sara's house
                                          She said come on in from down the Hall
                                            My head started to spin I took the fall
 
                                                                 (chorus) 
                                             Love rips, Love burns, Love tears                                          
                                             A midnight lady oh boy's beware 
                                             She will burn you she can take it all 
                                           So do what you do and don't take the fall
 
                                 2.             A misty haze and perfume in the air
                                              She turns around before me bare
                                              With hair like coal and skin so fare
                                        Hold on to your heart boys and don't start to care
 
                                                                  (chorus)
 
                                 3.        Her lips are hungry her eyes there on you
                                          She'll hold you down and then move so smooth
                                           She'll excite you to do what you want to
                                          laughing and playing as through you were new 
 
                                                                  (chorus)
 
                                         4.        She'll lay you on waves all through the night
                                                       With the scent of her you've found a new height
                                                        Wrapping around you and holding so tight
                                             You'll be her slave till the morning light

                                    Well we danced, Yeah we danced all night long..
 
                              Well we danced all around the room until we were all alone
                   And the crowd was a clappin to this devilish dual and to the beat of the song

                                                          The Eyes of Haven
 
                                  Sultry was the weather in the land of the burnig sun
                                  Hot and heavey was the air among the palm trees it hung 
                                  he remembered a girl that he once knew
                                  And he wondered if she remembered to
                                                                 
                                                                    (chorus)
                                  Just how the young get though, by staying true
                            The eyes of have are in the young, the eyes of heaven are what I sing
                          Lord I pray the eyes of heaven watch over me, Yes I pray they watch over me
                          
                            The ocean lapped at the shore while it's beat was marking time 
                            His eyes scanned the horizon seaching it's fine line
                             He remembered a tear drop that fell from her cheek
                              And he wondered if the girl was still so meek 
 
                    And that's                                 (chorus)        
 
                                  He forgot about tomarrow just took it as it came
                                As he layed there in the sand his guitar slowly played
                                 He remembered her beauty and waking hand in hand 
                                        And he wondered did he really understand

                                                             The Miracle Dream
 
                                         All of my life I thought I knew just what I need 
                                         To make a life that was custom made for me
                                          But I didn't have clue, no I couldn't see 
                             And the more I went though, the more I knew it just couldn't be
                                                     It was just a miracle dream
 
                                  And as I jouneyed down that wide and winding road,
                                                   It got narrower, loney and cold
 
                                         All of my dreams, just vanished in the air,
                                           And my desires well I, just didn't care 
                                          No I didn't have a clue, and I couldn't see
                              But when I reached out to you, I was really reaching out to me
                                                    And I'd live the miracle dream
 
                                     So if your feeling down and really got the blues
                                   Go out and find someone, who's wearin your old shoes
 
                                         And follow that road, with all it's twists and bends
                                  And weather it's joy or heart ache, you've got a friend
                                         And let me give you a clue on how it all begins
                           When someones reaching out to you, or your reaching out to them
                                                Then you'll live the miracle dream

                                                            Party on Sigma #3
 
                                          I was in the Desert, On a star filled Night
                                One kept coming closer and then threw a blinding light
                             And She stood there, like Cleopatra or maybe Tarzan's Jane
                               But her skin was green and shinny, under a cosmic rain
  
                                                                   (Chorus)
                     And you know what she told me, we've got a party going, out on Sigma #3
                                    Would you please escort me, she said telepathicly
                                  We went putt, putt, putt, putt, zip, zip, zip, zip, higher
                                                 Whoopa, whoopa, who-o-o
 
                                          Frist we flew by Saturn, then by the Milky Way
                                 And in a matter of seconds, well we were light years away
                                You should have seen the creatures, it made a pasley bash
                           With a sound I'd never heard before, from a group called sonic flash
 
                                                                   (Chorus)
                                 And you know what, We had a Party goin out on Sigma #3
                                      The biggest event of the age, or intergalaxticly
                                    We went putt. putt. putt, putt, zip, zip, zip, zip, higher
                                                  Whoopa, whoopa, who-o-o 
 
                                 Some Merconian handed me a drink all bubblely and cold
                                 They say I brighten up the joint while orbiting bright gold
                            The conversation was draggin until some flat form started to speak 
                               And then the lips really started movin from both sides of it's feet
               
                                                                    (Chorus)
 
                                      I was really dancin, for a two legged earthly being 
                               While a gal was making eyes at me from extruding extremities
                               Well it could have been the atmosphere, or the Goran brew
                               But it was all ready morning and I was saying good bye to you
 
                                  But you know what:......(Chorus)
