Down at the legion on Friday night
Draft is cheap and parking tight
So pour up a double, one in each glass
With a bowl of peanuts for that touch of class
Four Chord plays guitar and Willie plays the harp
Gord's a little bit flat and Willy's a little sharp
But over the year's they've reduced men to tears
With songs about love, pick up trucks and beers
So ladies and gentlemen, with us today
From town to town, they've made their way
Not quite as famous as Milli Vanille
Welcome Four Chord Gord and Three Finger Willy
Just four chords is all they need
No blazing solo's at break neck speeds
Singing songs we all understand
Doing it all in a two piece band
Four Chord plays guitar and Willie plays the harp
Gord's a little bit flat and Willy's a little sharp
But over the year's they've reduced men to tears
With songs about love, pick up trucks and beers
Cause ladies and gentlemen with us today
From town to town they've made their way
Not quite as famous as Milli Vanille
Please welcome Four Chord Gord and Three Finger Willy
From Country and Western
right straight thru to the blues
There ain’t no stoppin'
the souls of your dancing shoes
So ladies and gentlemen with us today
From town to town they've made their way
Not quite as famous as Milli Vanille
Please welcome Four Chord Gord and Three Finger Willy

Chasing The Wild Moon

There were times in my life when I wore those restless shoes
Times in my life I didn't have that much to lose.
Times I've be out wandering running from the blues.
In a fool's paradise searching for clues.
But don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
I'll be home soon
I'm just a crazy dreamer
Out chasing the wild moon
There are times I've been out ramblin’, times I had to roam
Times I've been out gamblin’ when I should have stayed at home.
Speeding down the highway in a blazing heap of chrome
Riding with the wind into the great unknown
But don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
I'll be home soon
I'm just a crazy dreamer
Out chasing the wild moon
But don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
I'll be home soon
I'm just a crazy dreamer
Out chasing the wild moon
The wild moon is calling but can't stay out all night
I'll be back on your doorstep before the morning's light
But don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
I'll be home soon
I'm just a crazy dreamer
Out chasing the wild moon......

Gravel Run

I learned how to drive on my old man's knee
He'd work the pedals and I'd take the wheel
Windows down I never felt so free
It was a short box Chevy, three on the tree
Now I'm grown and out on my own
Those old dirt roads keep calling me home
The dust and the smell of those long tall pines
Takes me way back to a place in time
Life in the city is coming undone
I'm heading to the country for a Gravel Run
I just want to be where the blacktop ends
The stars shine bright and the river bends
Me and my dog riding shotgun
Firing up the dust on a Gravel Run
I know these roads like the back of my hand
Got a great education from my old man
Now there's a brand new branch on the family tree
A few more years and he'll be on my knee
Next generation of father and son
Rolling through the fields on a Gravel Run
I just want to be where the blacktop ends
The stars shine bright and the river bends
Me and my dog riding shotgun
Firing up the dust on a Gravel Run
I ain't seen nothing in a country mile
I'm gonna drive, drive, drive
Radio blasting out the FM dial
I'm gonna drive, drive, drive
Arm out the window soaking up the sun
It's a beautiful day for a Gravel Run
Grab your place out in the sun and meet me in the country
Were going for a Gravel Run

Wish Upon A Star

I've got your picture in a frame upon on my wall
I speak to you every time I walk down the hall
I think about the things I didn't get to say
The road has been rocky but I have found my way
I know your always there to catch me when I fall
When I'm down you make me feel like I'm 10ft tall
The lessons that you taught me, get me through the day
Sometimes your like a shadow showing me the way
I made a wish upon a star
I made a wish that I could be right where you are
Underneath this yellow moon we seem so far apart
I made a wish upon a star
Looking back on all the time we spent together
Thinking that those days may just last forever
Never once considering that the road might end
And taking for granted the gift of a true friend
I made a wish upon a star
I made a wish that I could he right where you are
Underneath this yellow moon we seem so far apart
I made a wish upon a star
In my dreams we share the night
I follow you straight in to the light
Always keeping you in sight
Hoping for the chance to reunite
I made a wish upon a star
I made a wish that I could he right where you are
Underneath this yellow moon we seem so far apart
I made a wish upon a star
