LYRICS | Randall Lee

New York, Crazy

Vrs. 1.
If you want to live up in New York City,
get your self a penthouse,
over-looking Miss Liberty.
the fire's in her hand,
reaching up to the sky.

If you want to cruise
on down the strip in your Mercedes,
searching 'round the world
for some good lookin' ladies,
take 495, to an island that's long.

You go New York Go crazy.

Vrs. 2.
Started happy hour
drinking whiskey on the rocks.
The boys in the band
said they're heading to the Bronx,
so you pick up your gold card,
and you go for a ride.

Friday night you stayed out late
checking out the dance scene.
Woke up in a water bed
somewhere in the heart of Queens,
you painted the town
and you rock and rolled.

You go to New York, you go crazy.
Go to New York, crazy.

Sax solo

Used a good connection
for the party that just happened,
eighty stories high
in a section of Manhattan.
Rocking 'till dawn
playing rythym and blues.

You wanna get your freak up
on in New York City
go to Rockaway beach
still do bikini's
in the summer time scene
it's the place to be.

New York crazy

Bridge: Yo we were hanging out on Broadway waiting for the show,
must have been a hundred people there, standing at the door.
N.Y. Crazy
The band is forged in old school but kicking with a new groove,
you better check us out before we're back in Belleview.
N.Y. Crazy
Had to get out for the week end just like everybody does,
dropped our brains into the music with a six shot whiskey buzz.
N.Y. Crazy
The Dance floor was rocking everybody went insane,
when we did the locomotion it was train-train-train.
N.Y. Crazy

Ain’t God’s Gift (To Women)

Vrs 1.

I’ve been called a hound dog and I’ve been called a rounder, and I can’t help it if a pretty

little thing a wanna put my arm around her. Spent some nights in a honky tonk just a

drinkin and shootin’ pool, and I can’t figure when I’m getting’ hot a lot of ladies say I’m cool.

CHORUS: I ain’t God’s gift to women but I’m doing something right, I like to press my button downs and I’ll wear my Levi’s tight, when a lady passes by I’ll look her in the eyes, I tell you son I give you ten to one when I wink I bet she smiles.

Instrumental.

Vrs 2.

I won’t steal you girlfriends and I won’t steal your wives, and I won’t mess with a little

Spring chick and get me twenty years to life. But if she’s out in a honky tonk and she

She says that she’s free, well she’s old enough and bold enough and that’s enough for me

To CHORUS.

Vrs 3.

When I was a young man, I was no longer a child. I spent some time around Graffenburg

And I drove some good girls wild. I know how to please ‘em and I know just where to

Touch. I’m a growing man with an appetite and I just can’t get enough.

To CHORUS

TAG: Tell you son I give you ten to one when I wink I bet she smiles.

90 Degrees

Vrs 1. Well it's 90 degrees,
there's a chill in my bones,
to know that our love,
has turned cold as a stone.
I didn't think games,
that others would play,
should make us the losers,
and win us heart aches.
Chorus:
1. (Now) 2. (And) I don't know what I'll do,
I could walk out 1.(the) 2. (that) door,
convince myself,
that I'm over you. (I'm over you)
If you doubt that my love is true, (my love is true)
you can walk out that door,
but I can't say that I'm over you.

Vrs 2. When I first heard you voice,
I was caught in a trance,
I looked in your eyes,
I thought I found true romance.
Once I said that I'd love you,
for more than one life time,
now eternal loneliness,
preys on my mind.

Chorus: 2nd version.

Bridge: It was hot in the shade,
about 90 degrees.
The words that you said,
brought me down to my knees.

1/2 Vrs.3. Like a bird on the wing,
you had to be free.
now cold wind blows through me,
it's 90 degrees.
Yeah my heart froze inside,
outside it's 90 degrees.

Bachodel

Waltz

vrs1.

If Bach was a country boy living today, he’d probably pick guitars and here’s what he’d

say, “give me a beat and make it three four, cause I like the dance they do on sawdust

floors.”

CHORUS: And he’d play for me and you, keep time in cowboy boots,

1. Might even fiddle a little classical diddle, while he’s playing for me and you.

2. Might even ride on an E-guitar slide, while he’s playing for me and you.

3. Might even sing a little yodeling thing, while he’s playing for me and you.

vrs2

He’d like honky-tonks down in Dixie, and probably play at the Grand Ole Opry,

he’d like Hank Williams, the father and son, and one thing’s for certain we’d have lots

of fun.

To CHORUS

vrs3

He might not call it a waltz, he might just say, “that’s a minuet there hoss”,

What ever name you use will be fine as ling as it’s country and three quarter time.

To CHORUS

Tag : Yodel in 4/4 time

I MET YOU

You give me, you give me, you give me everything that I need.

You sing me, you sing me, you sing me to sleep in my dreams.

You've wakened up a love inside of me, it’s here for all the world to see.

I can't hold it back, I can't hide it away, it’s the one thing in my life that's still free.

I travel forward through the great unknown, far from myself away-unseen, I roamed,

Until I, met, you.

You told me, you told me, you told me all about your intent.

You hold me, you hold me, you hold me enticed by your scent.

You've wakened up a love inside of me, it's here for all the world to see.

You can't hold it back, you can't hide it away, It's the one thing in your life that's still free.

I travel forward through the great unknown, far from myself away-unseen, I roamed,

Until I, met, you.

You blow me, you blow me, you blow me away with your love.

You know me, you know me, you know I’ll be that one cut above.

You've wakened up a love inside of me, it's here for all the world to see.

We can't hold it back, we can't hide it away, It's the one thing in our life that's still free.

I travel forward through the great unknown, far from myself away-unseen, I roamed,

Until I, met, you.

6.7.8.

She wears those, tight short skirts that can really shock your momma, red lipstick

that’s as hot as molten lava. She’ll dance in Tony Lama boots and let me tell you

what, she’s wearing sexy fish net stockings, a bleached thin skintight top.

She’ll do the Texas Two Step, make your buckle shine, she ain’t but

double barrel country when she’s dancing on a line, 6.7.8.

My baby like to line dance, man that girl is smoking’ hot;

She like to get down turnaround and show off all the move she got;

And when my baby walks into a room you know that house is going to rock;

Yeah, yeah, my baby tells me something, something that I like a lot. 6-7-8

She tells me, hey baby I’m in dire need of loving’, I’m hungry for your kissing and your hugging, you get my heart to pounding when you look at me and smile, if there’s a chance of you and me, gladly run a country mile, I’m much more than just willing to fulfill your fantasy so baby get this party started on the dance floor here with me. 6-7-8.

My baby like to line dance, man that girl is smoking’ hot;

She like to get down turnaround and show off all the move she got;

And when my baby walks into a room you know that house is going to rock;

Yeah, yeah, my baby gives me something, something that I like a lot. 6-7-8

She gives me, mouth-to-mouth real intense resuscitation. Her lips are like a tropical vacation, sweeter than papaya, hot as summer in the Keys. The way she straps her loving on you hoss can bring men to their knees. She works hard through the week but when it gets to Friday night, she like to cut loose on the dance floor and forget the nine to five 6-7-8.

My baby likes to line dance, damn that girl is smokin’ hot;

She like to get down turnaround and show off all the move she got;

And when my baby walks into a room you know that house is gonna rock;

Yeah, yeah, my baby got that something, something that I like a lot. 6-7-8

Bridge:

Something ‘bout the way she moves; about the way she grooves;

Something ‘bout her cowgirl hat, down to her cowgirl boots;

Something ‘bout the way she glides across a sawdust floor;

Something ‘bout my baby always got me wanting…

more-more-more-more-more. 6-7-8

Repeat Chorus 3

Tag: Repeat last line of chorus 3 times

Outro: Yeah, yeah, my baby gives me something, something that I like a lot. 6-7-8

Get Up (Off Your Ass)

Intro:

You need to get up off your ass!

You missed your plane, maybe you wanted to. So here’s a note that I left for you.

Scared and all alone, all you wanted was to get back home.

Chorus:

You need to get up off your ass;

Live everyday like it’s your last;

What kind of life do you think you’ll have?

You’re dreaming of the future but living in the past.

So take a ride to the other side, you’ve got to live, if even ostracized, where we are

is why we go, and what we do is how we know.

Chorus:

You need to get up off your ass;

Live everyday like it’s your last;

What kind of life do you think you’ll have?

You’re dreaming of the future but living in the past.

At seventeen, you’re going to change the world, and seventy you see the world has changed, a paradox of time its true, the question is, “What will you do?”

Chorus:

You need to get up off your ass;

Live everyday like it’s your last;

What kind of life do you think you’ll have?

You’re dreaming of the future but living in the past.

GOOD THINGS

I’ve written songs in my lifetime, and swore that I’d never be tied down.

I’ve been around the world then back again. Love was the only missing thing.

Traveled down that rocky road, blistered my feet and cut my toes.

It doesn’t hurt nearly half as bad as to lose a love you thought you had.

CHORUS1:

I know one day I’ll find her, good things come in time.

Our love will last forever, I’ll be hers and lord knows she’ll be mine.

You hear a song that makes you cry, send a chill up and down your spine.

Steals your heart, moves your soul, keeps you warm as a cold wind blows.

Light you up like a torch a-fire; fill yourself with such sweet desire.

Makes a man do crazy things, like ask a girl to wear his wedding ring.

CHORUS2:

I knew the day I found her, my good thing came in time.

Our love will last forever, I am hers and she knows she is mine.

POLITELY PLASTERED

I’m just sittin’ here politely getting plastered, wondering if you’ll make it home ‘fore

dawn. The dogs have both been fed and there’s a clean sheet upon our bed, the towels

have all been washed and put away. Well you told me that you had to do this party, and

promised that you wouldn’t be there long. It’s past four in the morning, I’m in bed

here all alone, guess you forgot the number on our phone, well I think I’m going to make

the next drink stronger, So my head can hurt more than my heart. All the time I’ve spent

without you has left me a lonely man, and I don’t know how much more I can stand.

I’m sittin’ here about politely plastered, feeling numb and it didn’t take too long. Listening to a jukebox kickin’ out the heartache songs, ‘bout me and you and how our love went wrong.

Like ‘ol Travis said I’d a given you a quarter, but you’re not the type that’d call someone who cares. I bet you think you’re cool for months you played me for a fool, now it’s time the tables turned on you.

Your parties tend to be repeat all-nighters, and this time when you finally dragged it home, all your see through lies had really got you in a bind. Now the cold hard truth is that I’m gone.

I’m sittin’ here politely being plastered; feeling numb and it didn’t take too long. Listening to a jukebox kickin’ out the heartache songs, ‘bout me and you and how our love went wrong.

Inst.(On the verse progression)

I’m sittin’ here politely fucking plastered, feeling numb and it didn’t take too long. Listening to a jukebox kickin’ out the heartache songs, ‘bout me and you and how our love went wrong.

I’m sittin’ here politely getting plastered; I’m sittin’ here about politely plastered,

I’m sittin’ here politely being plastered, I’m sittin’ here politely fucking plastered!

Sheltered

VERSE 1

I met her sheltered from the pouring rain, waiting for the storm to pass her by,

We shared some lunch in side a small café, whispering sweet nothings keeping dry.

Pre Chorus

(1) We saw each other time and time again, never knowing what may lie ahead.

(3)We see each other time and time again, knowing that the past is put to rest.

I made her laugh and we became good friends, so good in fact that we were wed.

I made her laugh and we became good friends, I guess it’s all been for the best.

Chorus

When we were young we sought out pleasure and fun, and nothing was left on the shelf.

But as we grew older commitments were bolder, we sheltered our hearts from ourselves.

Although I met her in the pouring rain, the well of love that we had shared went dry,

I felt so numb just living day by day, until I finally broke right down and cried.

Pre Chorus

(2)Our love was dying on a rainy day, she wanted space, what could I say,

She tested love in such a foolish way, I think about her when it rains.

INSTRUMENTAL Am C+ C Cb5/F#dim F Fm C G G/G# Am

OUTRO TAG

I hope she’s sheltered from the pouring rain.

I thought that love was really on our side, seems to me it left without a trace,

What ever happened to “not fade away”? I see a new love took my place.

When we were young we had our place in the sun, we had not a care in our hearts, And nothing was left on the shelf.

Now we’re unchained there is no one here to blame, we each have a new life to start.…we sheltered our hearts from ourselves.

LIFE IS CHANGE

(Verse) G C G C G C G D

(Chorus) Em G D - Em G D

(Bridge) C G D

INTRO: Every day you see a new thing coming; an old thing going, it tells you that life is change.

VERSE: When you were five or six you started school, when you were 10 you knew it all. You were born with space and rock 'n roll, and a vintage year for cars.

So as you grew you listened to adults a lot, and they would tell you of this and of that. There'd be times you learn some things on your own, some were good and some were bad.

Chorus (Φ): Every day you see a new thing coming; an old thing going, it tells you that life is change. The world keeps on spinning, as we live and die within it, by moment or by minute, reminding us that life is change.

VERSE: Then you learn responsibility for the things you say and you do.

You learn to take the good with the bad in your searchings’ for the truth.

We never know where life is leading us so we learn the rules of the game.

Then we see other people in a different gear understanding life is change.

Bridge

Without You

You found love, so I went and found myself, without you.

You set me free, so I followed all my dreams, without you.

You lost your love, and I lost my broken heart without you.

Yeah you won your space, and I won another’s grace, without you.

CHORUS:

I’ve learned about the feelings I use to hide, I’ve learned how I kept myself way deep inside, When friends ask me how am I doing’,

I don’t lie I’ll say I’m fine without you.

LEAD

(BRIDGE):{Em/A/D/G}

Without you I sure get a long, and if someone plays our favorite song,

I don’t break down and ball like a baby, the crying’s done. Hear what I’m saying.

Without you I’ve been doing fine, in this simply complicated little life of mine.

Without you it’s all said and done, for what was lost and what is won.

Without you.

CHORUS
