THE CHARMER

The son of Vietnam
One whose thunder did return
The voices of the past
Try to keep from getting burned
But love is never lost
And he prayed to live another Dawn…

And he went to the West
They say its God’s Country
And he survived nature’s test
Hard living is soul’s foundry…

He loved the girls and let them cry
He didn’t care if he lived or died

And they called him
The Charmer

A Buckeye ‘till the very, very end
A few old flames and many, many friends
And sons and daughters will defend
Life’s currency is finally spent…

Final meeting upon the mountain
Charmer’s heart, an eternal fountain

And they called him
The Charmer

LETTERS TO HEIDI

I’m captured in a Marvelous time
Years are like minutes
When your love fills my heart
I write letters to you

Letters To Heidi

One more day on the road
No place to call home
Weeks an eternity
Without you to drive me wild

Letters To Heidi

I love you, I want you
I can’t breath without you near
No peace of mind
Driving alone down that dark country road
And I cry my heart out

Letters to Heidi

Before I had the keys to your love
I couldn’t unlock my fears
Love letters fly, fly like a dove
Our heart’s rhythm fill the page

Letters to Heidi

I close my eyes, and think of sweet things I said
I sing songs without words
My heart stops and flutters
I know you’re waiting for me
I love you so much…

I close my eyes, and think of sweet things in bed
I sing songs without words
My heart stops and flutters
I know you’re waiting for me…

Letters to Heidi

RIO SAN JUAN

Drivin’ on 40, on old Route 66
Destiny searching, just hit or miss
And my friend Nate King Cole had it right
He said, “just get your kicks”
While we drove, through the night

Friends of mine, by my side
And I see the Rio San Juan

Foothills shine in the desert night
And a million stars, always a awesome, pleasant sight
And the mesa I see (And I think)
Hippie’s delight
Over there, Monument Valley; Beauty all around, always astounds

In a little hurry, now she’s gone from my sight
…I see her, the Rio San Juan

WHEN THE BELL RINGS

There is no sign of Humankind
I seem to be someplace, Home is nowhere
Then the bus picks up Johnny
And takes him to the school, school yard haven
When the Bell Rings…

I’m six years old and I can’t believe it
Teacher Angel, she sings knowledge to me
I got my lunch, and a pencil too
A little dodge ball, time to go
When the Bell Rings…

She goes to school in Austin town
Learns the rules, suffer fools
Deans List, the honor roll
Her ticket wrote, but she knows – Oh, no no
When the Bell Rings…

Teach your heart, and show the soul
Little Johnny, he’s first to know
Kid’s all think she’s tough but posed
Nothing’s gonna stop the learnin’
When the Bell Rings…

If I could just stay here…

HEY! HEY!

Well, people!
You people gather ‘round, I sing
And you better listen close
While I sing, sing the truth

The Lord is here to stay
And I sing:
The pain is gonna go away
The pain is gonna go away

Well, sister
You better teach your children well
You better teach ‘em right from wrong
‘Cause I sing the truth, yeah

The Lord is here to stay
And I sing:
The pain is gonna go away
The pain is gonna go away

The Lord is gonna stay
And I sing
The pain is gonna go away
The pain is gonna go away

And now I step, I step to the microphone
And now I have, just one more thing to say to you

The Lord is here to stay
And we sing:
The pain is gonna go away
The pain is gonna go away

Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

MAD, MAD ROMANCE

Well the dance floor is full
And the lights are low
And the smoke fills the room
One now, is searching for a soul
She sees the other, low and lonely

Blue and pink collar
It’s a mad, mad romance

Well the trumpets are loud
And the bass is playing low
He just wants to dance, yeah…
And she says, “That I’ll pass”
The silent tears, as she runs away
He stands there dyin’
Suddenly afraid…

It’s a decade of dues
That she has paid
On the concrete paradise
Oh, yeah
It’s a mad, mad, mad romance
It’s a mad, mad, mad romance
