Lucky Star

Laying back on a sandy beach
The cares of the world just out of reach
Time stood still for a moment there
The song of the wind in the evening air
And another West Coast sunset
Is now a million lucky stars
Shine on
It's a cool spring night in early June
The sky a glow from a Crescent moon
You and I underneath a dim lit sky
Sharing dreams with passing a firefly
And another West Coast sunset
Is now a million lucky stars
Shine on
A million stars dancing in the dark
It just takes one to catch a spark
You and I could go so far
With a falling sun and a lucky star
Shine on
Who knew that life could be so fine
With our backs up against this ancient pine
The sun shone bright throughout the day
As night crept in, well it slipped away
And another West Coast sunset
Is now a million lucky stars
Shine on
A million stars dancing in the dark
It just takes one to catch a spark
You and I could go so far
With a falling sun and a lucky star
Shine on
A million stars dancing in the dark
It just takes one to catch a spark
You and I could go so far
With a falling sun and a lucky star
Shine on

Kings Hwy

My name is Jack Pine, I’ve been riding this line
More years than I care to remember.
I’ve got Indian blood in my veins as thick as mud
Thick as mud at the mouth of the Serpent River
Now I’m hauling log through a heavy fog
All the way from the Soo to Thunder Bay
Me and the night into the mornings light
All these years grinding gears on the Kings Hwy
Hwy # 17 cuts right through the land of dreams
Lanes of blacktop where the diesels wine
Hwy # 17 connects the north through hills and streams
Headlights dancing on the thin white line
And I’m driving, driving, driving, following that line
Then I sealed the deal with a load a steel
And hit the road so I could earn my pay
Steady and surreal, On top of 18 wheels
All these years grinding gears on the kings Hwy
Hwy # 17 cuts right through the land of dreams
Lanes of blacktop where the diesels wine
Hwy # 17 connects the north through hills and streams
Headlights dancing on the thin white line
And I’m driving, driving, driving, following that line
I call the road my home, my spirit born to roam
These wheels underneath me set me free
Come rain or come shine, I'll make it there on tiime
A lonesome drifter, a travelling cherokee
And I’m driving, driving, driving, following that line
And I’m driving, driving, driving, following that line

18 Wheels
04:58
|

|
She was rough around the edges, you could not refine her
She had a trucker’s mouth from slinging coffee at the diner
It wasn’t gonna be like this, life should have been finer
But she made the most of things, it did not define her
She said, 18 wheels gonna carry me away
As she dreamed of a better day
Rolling on day by day
Out on the lost highway
He was tired of driving, pulled over for a break
She served him a coffee and a truck stop steak.
He’d been riding many miles underneath the northern skies
He though he’d found forever when he looked into her eyes
He said, 18 wheels gonna carry me away
But they’ll bring me back someday
Rolling on day by day
Out on the lost highway
She loved the time they spent as the neon flickered blue
She loved his crazy stories and his homemade tattoo's too
Her heart skipped a beat each time she heard the door
He may have been the one that she’d been waiting for
He was well into the darkness when the road began to wind
His two hands on the wheel and the waitress on his mind
She left him with a picture, he could not take it down
So he cranked up the radio and turned that rig around
He walked back through the door, his smile lit up the place
It was just like she remembered and a tear rolled down her face
They laughed and talked all night until the moon fell from the sky
They made themselves a promise to never say goodbye
18 wheels carried them away
Hand in hand is what they say
Rolling on day by day
Out on the lost highway

Save Me Seat
03:28

Looking back on the day that we met
The stars aligned how can I forget
A simple case of love at first sight
With your red hair flirtin', jeans on tight
A chance meeting's where it started from
Two hearts beating like a big bass drum
Now here we are birds of a feather
Hand in hand no matter the weather
Out in the street
A table for two
Save me a seat
I'll be there for you
Out in the heat
Under skies of blue
A mid day treat
A sweet rendezvous
The hands of time spin slowly around
And here we are on solid ground
There ain't no mountains we can't climb
While I am yours and you are mine
Out in the street
A table for two
Save me a seat
I'll be there for you
Out in the heat
Under skies of blue
A mid day treat
A sweet rendezvous
We have lived a wonderful life
Beautiful dreamers, husband and wife
When we reach the end of the long long road
We'll do it again in the great unknown
When that day comes
For me or for you
Save me a seat
I'll save one for you too
Again we meet
In the sky so blue
Our lives complete
A sweet rendezvous

Life On The Run
04:21

Well I've played this guitar since I was 15 years old
From acoustic Dylan to Rock N Roll
Now here I am out on the road
Where souls get sold and lies get told
Lies get told
Tomorrow I'll drive into some little town
One more stop on this marry-go-round
Same old stage and the same bright lights
Same dark faces most every night
Ya that's life out on the run
Rarely alive to see the sun
Up all night just trying to be someone
Trying to be someone
Trying to be someone
Well I walk on the edge from time to time
If the world was flat you'd have to throw me a line
If you see my lady tell her Im doing fine
Except the light in my eyes from this motel sign
This motel sign
Ya that's life out on the run
Rarely alive to see the sun
Up all night just trying to be someone
Trying to be someone
Trying to be someone
In the heart of the city, where the roofs touch the sky
I sit and look back at the time gone by
But just like a river that keeps on flowing
The road ahead just keeps on going
Ya that's life out on the run
Rarely alive to see the sun
Up all night just trying to be someone
Trying to be someone
Trying to be someone
Ya that's life out on the run
Rarely alive to see the sun
Up all night just trying to be someone
Trying to be someone
Trying to be someone

Falling Off The Wagon
04:07
|

Me and the bottle, we had us a truce
But tonight the devil won't cut me loose
I went out for one and it turned into ten
And I'm falling off the wagon again
One more whiskey, just another beer
The night is still young, my friends are all here
Soon I'll be looking for all the king's men
Cause I'm falling off the wagon again
You can dress me up, take me out on the town
I'll be there when your up, I'll be there when your down
But if you break out a bottle and you pass it around
You might find me in a cell downtown
I've got a weakness for a taste of gin
The mention of her name and I just cave-in
We carry on like Barbie & Ken
Until I fall off the wagon again
You can dress me up, take me out on the town
I'll be there when your up, I'll be there when your down
But if you break out a bottle and you pass it around
You might find me in a cell downtown
Just dropped in to my favourite pub
To wet my whistle and have me some grub
Woke up hungry in the lion's den
I guess I fell off the wagon again
We went out early, I came home late
We made some plans for a second date
I just can't remember where and when
I must have fallen off the wagon again
You can dress me up, take me out on the town
I'll be there when your up, I'll be there when your down
But if you break out a bottle and you pass it around
You might find me in a cell downtown
If you break out the bottle and pass it around
You might find me in a cell downtown
If you break out the bottle and you pass it around
You might find me in a cell downtown
Lock him up....
