RICH MAN'S WORLD
(FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY)
Released: Jan 25, 2016
LYRICS
What makes one man love the other hate?
What makes one man give the other take?
Empty is the heart that loves too fast
Fear can make his first his last
Why is one content, the next, he seeks?
Oh, Take or leave it , yeah yeah
What would you do for the love of money?
Living in a Rich Man's World
Cause,you'll need it yeah, yeah
Baby, It's all for the love of money.
Living in a Rich Man's World
Well, alright!
What makes one man rise up to the test?
And the next he falls down to his knees?
Guilty is the heart that runs too fast
Moving on onto the next, Oh
Why does one man strike
The other bleed?
Take or leave it , Yeah Yeah!
What would you do for the love of money?
Living in a Rich Man's World
Cause, you'll need it Yeah, Yeah!
How far would you stoop for the love of money?
Living in a Rich Man's World
Best believe it, Yeah, Yeah!
Baby, It's all for the love of money
Living in A Rich Man's World
Alright!
Take or leave it , Yeah Yeah!
What would you do for the love of money?
Living in a Rich Man's World
Cause, you'll need it Yeah, Yeah!
How far would you stoop for the love of money?
Living in a Rich Man's World
When you need, Yeah, Yeah!
Girl, who would you do for the love of money?
Living in A Rich Man's World
Well, baby' it's all for the love of money.
Living in a Rich Man's World
One day baby, one day
Living In A Rich Man's World!
Someday baby, Someday
Living In A Rich Man's World!

IN THE MOMENT
Released: Jun 17th, 2015
LYRICS
I’m always caught in yesterday
Or else I’m dreaming of tomorrow
And just for once I’d like to say
My heart and soul’s right here and now
You’re at the end of my rainbow
If I could just live in the moment
I know that you are ‘cause my heart says it’s so
You’re at the end of my road
There is a time and there’s a place
It doesn’t have to last forever
A memory time can’t erase
Deep in the corners of my mind
You’re at the end of my rainbow
If I could just live in the moment
I know that you are ‘cause my heart says it’s so
You’re at the end of my road
You’re at the end of my rainbow
If I could just live in the moment
I know that you are ‘cause my heart says it’s so
You’re at the end of my road
You’re at the end of my rainbow
You’re at the end of my road

TIN SOLDIER
Released: Jun 15, 2015
LYRICS
My world as It turns
Has a hole in it's heart that's yearning
Crossfire's closing in
I've still a long way to go
And I can't quite hold that line
I'm all alone in a new world order
But I will be strong
And I will fight on and love again
All the Kings horses
And all the Kings men
Never put two hearts
Together again now, but
I will be strong
I will fight on and love again
Tin Soldier
Bleeds the heart of the Warrior
Tin Soldier
In the battle of love
But, I can't I'm only a man
Watch tower's flaming red
I clear the smoke from another heart burning
Watch out as it burns
We're a long way from home
Well, I got down, duck my head
I dodge a bullet from another guns hatred
I have been wronged
But, I will live on to tell the tale
All the kings horses
And all the kings men
Never put two hearts
Together again now, but ...
I will be strong
I will fight on and love again
Tin Soldier
Bleeds the heart of a warrior
Tin Soldier
In The Battle For Love
If I could hold her
I could live through this torture
But, I can't I'm only a man
I will fight on
And as in all the rest
In every dream
My heart's at war
Tin Soldier
Bleeds the heart of a warrior
Tin soldier
In the battle for love
If I could hold her
I could live through this torture
But, I can't I'm only a man
Tin Soldier
Tin Soldier
If I could hold her
I could live through this torture
But, I can't I'm only a man
I will fight on

FACES
Released: Jun 11, 2015
LYRICS
Love is the diamond that grabs the light
Sends it back in many different ways, oh yeah
Love is the reason we walk the night
Searching for a weakness in our prey, oh yeah
Guess it's time I learn to read the Faces…
Of love
Of love
My love
She shows no emotion that I can see
Nothing that her eyes could give away, oh no
She's known the game, yeah she always plays
And if I'm holding Kings then she has Aces, oh no
I think it's time I learn to read the Faces…
Of love
I've been going through so many changes
My love
I've been going through so many changes
oh yeah, yeah now.
(Mustang!)
I've been going through so many changes
My Love
I've been going through so many phases
Of Love
I think it's time I learn to read the Faces
Of love
Of love
My Love
Now, my Love…
Of Love now...
I think it's times to read...
To read the Faces

HOME AGAIN
Released: Dec 25, 2015
LYRICS
IT’S BEEN SOME YEARS I LEFT THIS TOWN
I SEE THEY’VE TORN MY OLD SCHOOL DOWN
SAY IT AIN’T SO
SAY IT AIN’T SO
AND ON THE STREET WHERE SHE ONCE LIVED
THE STEPS WHERE I STOLE MY FIRST KISS
SO LONG AGO
SO LONG AGO
YOU THINK THAT WE’D BE BETTER
WE’D LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES
JUST ASSUME RETURN THAN STAY AWAY
THE MORE THINGS CHANGE
THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME
OH, IT’S GOOD TO BE HOME AGAIN
THE CARNIVALS AND STREET PARADES
WINTER NIGHTS AND SUMMER DAYS
SAY IT AIN’T SO
SO LONG AGO
A SMILE ON A FAMILIAR FACE
YEAH, IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
BUT IT’S SO LONG AGO
SO LONG AGO
YOU WONDER WHY WE GO TO THE PLACE WHERE IT BEGAN
IT ISN’T VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND
THE MORE THINGS CHANGE
THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME
OH, IT’S GOOD TO BE HOME AGAIN
MY MEMORIES, THEY’VE COME AND GONE
JUST LIKE EVERYTHING I’VE EVER KNOWN
SAY IT AIN’T SO
SAY IT AIN’T SO
IF WE CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE BY DIGGING UP THE PAST
MAYBE THEN THESE MEMORIES WILL LAST
THE MORE THINGS CHANGE
THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME
IT’S GOOD TO BE HOME AGAIN
IT’S GOOD TO BE HOME AGAIN

HOURS IN THE DAY
Released: Sep 11, 2012
LYRICS
Been some time since it began
This mystery, I can't explain
How she helps ease the pain
I've come to know so well
Wait for me, I'm fading fast
Hold on tightly and make it last
Ooh, this power she has
She gives me Strength
The power's in the heart
The fire that ignites the spark
Can't find the words to say
No hours in the day
Love, that of a speeding train
I reach out through the pouring rain
Tried it time and again
Try put you into words
At a loss, I've met my match
I confess, I admit to that
Times right now, now I can
I've got to let you know
The power's In the heart
The fire that ignites the spark
Can't find the words to say
No hours in the day
It echoes thru the dark
The sun, the moon and and every star
Can't find the words to say.
No Hours in the day
Oh, an emotion you can't pretend
It's your glittering prize
It's your true heart
The letter you never sent
You still hold in your hand
Loved you the day that you darkened my door
Loved you the day that you brightened my door

RIVERSIDE (MISSISSIPPI MIX)
Released: Jun 16, 2015
LYRICS
Now these four walls, they look the same
As they did back then
When they did back when
Before we danced
You know they haven’t changed a thing
And these windows could sure use a good cleanin’
You can’t tell the night from the day
Lookin’ in or out
Unless you look a certain way
I’m lookin’ back on the times when we made love
It wasn’t all that long ago
I could see it in your eyes
They’re the windows of your soul
Down by the riverside
Everybody’s welcome
Down by the riverside
We can be ourselves
Down by the river
With a song in your heart
Without a care
Down by the river
Now this damn road seems endless
Take it up or down
Ride it in or out
North or South
Swear we’ve been on it for days
And no matter how far you take it
If your heart don’t feel
You’re just spinnin’ wheels
You got to go a different way
I’m thinkin’ back to the times when we made love
It wasn’t all that long ago
Yeah, I could see it in your eyes
They’re the windows of your soul
Down by the riverside
Everybody’s welcome
Down by the riverside
We can be ourselves
Down by the river
With a song in your heart
They’ll be love in the air
Down by the river
It’s ebb and flow
It’s current slows with time
What we didn’t know
We left it up to love
Whoa Yeah!
Whoa Yeah!
Whoa Yeah!
Hey, Hey, Hey , Hey…
Down by the riverside
Everybody’s welcome
Down by the riverside
We can be ourselves
Down by the river
With a song in your heart
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Down by the riverside
Whoa Yeah
Down by the riverside
Whoa Yeah
Down by the river
With a song in your heart
They’ll be love in the air
Yeah, Yeah, Whoa
With a song in your heart
We’ll make love over there…
Yeah, Down by the river
