“Ain’t Gonna Let it Get me Down”

Posted on February 20, 2012 by

“Ain’t Gonna Let it Get me Down”

**********

When you admit you’re mad

you start to get glad, the truth

always sets you free.

********

As long as language has been

talkin’, I felt the birds and

trees talkin’ to me,

**********

I ride the wind, the sun it shines, the

earth spins I’m walkin’ on water

til it happens, the loss, the

theft, the breakup, the mishap—WOW!

********

But I tell you something now…

***********

Ain’t gonna let it get me down!

*********

No, ain’t gonna let it get me down.

*********

Hey, they say the muse will refuse

unless you drink and smoke and find

some trouble.

*********

It’s not cool to love another man, well

check this out I’m sober now

because of just one such friendly friend

*********

I call him my sponsor, yeah I fouled up,

made my way to A.A.

********

Wish I had an original story to tell,

but this I’ll relate the times I fell,

there was always a hand reaching down

to pick me up, if only I asked…

**********

A hand reaching down, down down

down—

**********

My life can be that upside down frown

********

Ain’t gonna let it get me down!

*******

No No, ain’t gonna let it get me down,

********

Let me hear you sing with me,

********

No no no no no no

**********

Ain’t gonna let it get me down, no.

*******

No no no no no no no,

No sir, no

*****

Ain’t gonna let it get me no!!!!!!!!

********

I love you, man ain’t gonna let this

little problem stand in the way of my great

day ain’t gonna let it get me down!!

********

No no no!!! Ain’t gonna let it get me down….

*********

no no no no no—PEACE!

Even When it’s Wrong it’s Right (country music)

Posted on February 20, 2012 by

“Even When it’s Wrong it’s Right”

**********

Some things change the

more you look at ‘em.

**********

Sometimes grow and you know,

where you been’s a whole lot

better than where you were.

*********

Dream, things, so many

uncertainties… What stops

us from stepping out’s the very

thing we’re stuck in…

**********

Help, S.O.S. – calling all

friends to the dance floor!

*********

The year was 1984, I hung

around and did all that was hard,

rabble-rousing and even bad!

**********

Country music was only what someone

else did, they were too happy for me.

********

See in blues and rock, rap and metal

we were down, hurt, we yelled and

hollered complaints it felt so good!

*********

Country is a feeling, it’s the knowledge

that it’s all right!  Everything, it used

to be just a Christian sing, call it

what you will, King David singing

certainly a Bible thing…

********

It’s all right, the songs we sing tonight.

It’s all right.

*******

It’s always all right, yeah, we’re

saved this is country!

*******************

Memphis is tough, Chicago tougher,

we feel the beats and heat from the city too,

but in Nashville we block ‘em out!

********

I camped out for days on end,

join me let’s go back

to the country my friends…

********

This is Nashville, country music, we got

problems too, but when we sing so bright…

*********

you know, son and daughters:

********

Even when it’s wrong it’s right!

********

Only in country music, we’re happy

when we joke at loss

********

Only in Country—

********

Even when it’s wrong it’s right!

********

“One Day at a Time”

********

the preacher said to me. A.A. from the word

of God you have to like what you hear.

******

Throw away tomorrow who needs it, today is fine!

********

Bring your worries, doubts and fears,

your loss, your divorce your anger…..

*********

This is the country, where even

if it’s wrong it’s right!

********

I used to sing,

********

“Skit skat–trouble ain’t comin’ back no mo’

I’ve divorced the pain–got no shame–when it’s bad

I write it Down… then

Sing it out LOUD”—

*********

the spirit of country’s to write the pain

down, and sing it out loud.

*********

“I fell in Love”

********

It was 1999, yes I’d never

watched the CMT…

*********

A friend, so I was in love with her

yeah, she said she was a fan.

********

She line-danced she said, watched

the videos, and I said hey baby—

*********

I’d like to know…

*********

Martina, Chely, Toby She-Daisy.

*********

Phil the list is long those thrills

**********

of the happy song, I was home,

finally in the club.

********

Now I got blues for the darkness,

heaven for a place to go and the country

********

on Broadway to the Cumberland feeling good

in the sun so bright, with country we sing,

*********

bring your misery, ‘cause here

**********

when it’s wrong it’s still right.

“Catch ‘Em”

Posted on February 6, 2012 by

“Catch ‘Em”

**********

I grew up, fond of men.

my life looked up at my dad,

uncles, Grandpa, I wanted to

be just like them!!

***********

Did what I liked, played some sports!

Fell in love with my third

grade neighbor, Annie D.

she played tennis just like me!

***********

Then came football, baseball,

the middle school dance?

There she goes, another one

dancing by me now…

***********

What would Dad do?

***********

Gotta catch ‘em!

If I don’t they’ll

be laughin’, gotta catch ‘em,

in the end zone, in the field

on that floor…

**********

Catch ‘Em now

before they fall on the ground.

**********

Not clear, life spins, you missed

your catch in eighth grade,

Drink a beer! You failed a lot,

now you figure what’s the use,

*********

It’s a runaway train…

**********

You forgot to believe,

catch the one that got away

another bass, another prey,

for these things today…

********

Can I ask the LORD above,

wanna turn my luck, I’m

25, can you help me see straight

tell ‘em the truth while I’m still alive…

********

One more chance, said the LORD:

*********

Wrapped up in a bow, lobbed

in the air, pretty lookin’

female with a pretty hair,

********

over there… in the beach chair,

*********

gotta catch ‘em, last

chance to catch ‘em,

********

Be honest you gotta Catch ‘em,

Before they fall on the floor.

**********

I caught the one, it was lookin’

good, she had a daughter came

from my hood, I caught her now,

all was nice, what’s left?

**********

God throws you a curve, yer

leaning too far over the plate,

chin music to brush you back!  She

left you just to test you, yer alone

again, gotta Catch another, or

sing the song “maybe I’ll just hang

out with the bruthahs….”

**********

Then she was there, less concerned

about her hair, just standing there,

you met her ONLINE!

**********

Ha! You paid a hundred dollar fee,

got aboard this romance tree, you got

your catch, yer pretty sure now,

can’t afford to lose you decide to win,

*********

that’s how you catch ‘em

you catch ‘em when you decide you catch ‘em

while you’re still alive

you gotta catch ‘em…

**********

before we fall on the floor…

2009 Christmas Song!!!!!!!!PEACE!!!!!!!!

Posted on November 23, 2011 by

“Motel Christmas”

*********

The movie channel’s got the Right One–

*********

The story that gets you in the mood–

I could be anywhere at all–

Atlanta, Georgia Shopping Mall.

*********

But I’m not, No I cannot lie to you–

It’s a Motel Christmas, I’m

on the road and I

feel blue…..

–

I’ve had some hardtimes–

No I never used to blab about ‘em

at all….

********

But I’m in the mood, blame the movie channel–

To be shopping in the MALL–

If I had enough money I’d be

Where everybody cared

about me….

But I’m not, I’m where I am

still alive–

It’s a Motel Christmas–

On the road I’m Still Alive….

—–

Motel 10, just around the bend

Freeway for a porch,

HBO instead of a fire–I

got the heater on full

Happy despite it all–Alive but

Blue, It’s a Motel Christmas

What else was I to do?–

(solo–Bells)

Motel 6, just for kicks–no

Christmas lights at all–

But the heater works–HBO

takes me away anywhere I

wanna go.

Where I wanna go——

Where God is

the Motel OR at the mall.

Where God is, here with me–

May it be…. A Motel Christmas, as long as we

Remember Him–Christ

is born, bring your gifts to

him like

the three wisemen–

Shoot, maybe he’d like HBO

Motel Christmas–we’ll

leave the light on for you can

                                                            you sing your way

                                                                        to Heaven?

Motel Christmas, I’ll be waiting

for my checkout time;

Maybe then…. Maybe then

I’ll see the real light–

Christmas belongs, like

everything else–to God.

(talking:) “Which channel’s HBO?

try Turner Movie Classics–

American Movie Classics…. Somethin’

good’ gotta be on the tube–”

Merry Christmas, Everyone

Divorce Purgatory (3 Promises)

Posted on October 31, 2011 by

“Divorce Purgatory” (3
Promises)

*********

If you’ve ever been there you
know. You didn’t want the change,
but they left and you had to go…

*********

Three promises we made, under
a church door, thought nothing
would ever be the same.

*********

I took you in, you me, your daughter

a gift to the world anyone could see.

We laughed and played,

*********

like Eden came back for a wink, I love

the song of remembering, let’s go back,

let’s think.

**********

ONE: Sickness or in health,
stay together

TWO: understand each other

THREE: help another, we had three promises

*********

before GOD, how can we not keep!

**********

I met her at the movies…
she and her daughter opened the door for
me on the way out.

*********

I clowned a little, took in
the spotlight,

the carpet was red, feel like

Joan Rivers said, we belonged
together you and I, “Whatch ya’
wearing on the red carpet today?”

**********

Hollywood, Pasadena, we knew
we were good, not good enough, she folded her tents

like the Arabs, and as
silently stole away…

**********

It was a Thursday, she left
after a final date,

impossible so every day I
wait, 3 Promises

before GOD, to win the
kingdom

in this LIFE, you gotta be
GREAT!

**********

ONE: Sickness or in health,
stay together

TWO: understand each other

THREE: help another, we had
three promises

*********

before GOD, how can we not
keep!

*********

Hope, truth and trust, I
still dream of

perfection as I sit here
hopin’ away

every day, on life goes,
whether or not

everything’s all right, you
gotta be,

Desree said it best, a ‘90’s
jam

should’ve been out in ’84!

***********

I love the time, the way it
holds when

you write a song, stops when
you eye it long, give it meaning,
make every moment count, we must be
TRUE!!!!!!!!

*********

I need you, Father, keep
finding

time for me, I pray like

Solomon for wisdom, know the gold

is on its way—Peace, thanks
for Hope,

*********

David sang about miracles and
faith;

*********

Give me LORD the right words—

*********

ONE: Sickness or in health,
stay together

TWO: understand each other

THREE: help another, we had
three promises

*********

before GOD, how can we not
keep!

**********

“3 Promises”

**********

What I would give— to see her
again.

********

Love,
William:)!!!!!!!!PEACE!!!!!!!!

Wow — I Crossed the Bridge–

Posted on October 30, 2011 by

“I’m Crossing the Bridge”

**********

Oh my gosh, this is the moment

I say good bye.

***********

Oh my gosh, I’m gonna step into

my new life,

**********

Will you come with me, my many listeners

around the bend, I know I have a friend.

*********

Here’s how it started, it’s best to begin

at the beginning sometimes, others at
the End,

this is good news, good news…

*********

I’m crossing over to the other side!

**********

I’m never ever gonna hide—

********

I’m crossing the bridge of love,

from the last to the last one I’ll

ever have.

*********

Tracy’s her name, my partner

in this little game, she makes our

home, does her best, makes me laugh

calls me on my stuff, she’s a pain

in my ass….

**********

But oh well, we spend a lifetime

sometimes finding that someone who

appreciates you, she does in her way,

********

never giving me more than two steps

forward, without a reprimand,

********

WHERE DID MOM COME FROM,

is it always true your loved one

takes over where the parents started,

*********

I guess we cleave from one to the next,

Jesus said one and one make one,

***********

Thought I had the Right one in “Christine,”

********

I’m leaving her behind tonight.

********

I’m crossing the bridge—

********

I’m crossing with a leap of faith that
is,

********

I know I’ve got the right person to
catch my

spirit, make me push and grow and be
better

than I ever dreamed to be!

********

Responsibility, takin’ care of chores

to gain the right to freedom play

a game of chess or soccer.

*********

I love Tracy, she’s the one for me,

yes the one woman for me, that one

in the rear-view mirror was just a girl

*********

we might many of us need one to get

the ball rolling but once bouncing,

********

Bounce and CROSS THAT BRIDGE!

*********

Yeah!
Cross that darned Bridge;

*********

If you’re anything like me, buddy,

good luck crossing your bridge…

*********

Take up your cross and follow me;

**********

Cross yourself and walk…

********

Cross the bridge—

**********

I’m crossin’ that bridge…

**********

I’m on the other side, I’ve crossed the
bridge–

When in Between (my best song)

Posted on October 28, 2011 by

“When in Between”

*********

She left me in the middle of the night,

never caught her direction, stole

light my life was dark, she was out

of sight.

********

Then another came, it was a business

relationship, one of convenience we

helped each other grieve over loss,

we get by every day, pay the bills

have some fun.

*******

But I wonder of the first, is she okay

did I fail her and God, should I hold

out against hope and go back to

nothing, if nothing’s all you have

embrace it?

**********

I’m in between, sweet you were my first,

Christine. You left in the middle of the
night,

before I could see the light, I’ve
changed

but I guess you’ve turned off that t.v.

*********

Should I PUT UP A FIGHT?

********

Or accept the business of living, pay

the bills, get by, have some fun?

********

When in between, life can be sweet

I thank God for it, even bein’

*********

in between!!!!

********

Life, what a mess, sometimes to

figure it out you gotta be Elliot Ness!

*********

Life, it’s like anything else, Woody Allen said,

just a chuckle away from freedom we are

the pained and confused.

*********

I dream of you, I move along, I wonder
what if we’d finished the song—

********

I LOVE you, Christine, but had to

find a home, I’m with a lost soul like
me,

two of us plus some pets and a lawn

passing the time, we might grow old

this way…

********

Christine, I still love you, the only girl

for me.

*********

It was real Miss Christine, it was real—

it was like Chely Wright sings, I may
not get there

with you, Martin Luther King—

********

I love you, honey child, but I find

myself in-between.

********

In between! Is there more love here than

it seems, I’m in between, grateful for

another day.

*********

You gotta move on sometimes, gotta be,

Desree used to say, I’m so full of hope in the middle

of the Rain, you see me here, paintin’

another rainbow on this painful canvass

I call love, sweet Jesus take your cross

and show us how to be….

**********

In between.
