When I Was A Cop

When I Was a COP
It would have been a Short Career.
The best time and the worst
I Love, I Love Me Some "E Ticket" Rides
But this one I May not Survive.
They Tell me Not, Not to push
They tell me not to tell tales.
They tell me Not to get used to
The Bad guys staying in Jail!
Every time a car takes off,
I Do everything to make it stop.
I Pit Em, I Pit them way on off the road
Until they end up on thier top!
When wife or child is hurt
I hurt back with legal force.
I try to square, Square up the deal
Because of the pain those people feel.
I Get called in all the time
For the claims I've caused over time.
All the Cruisers I have wrecked
and All the Bad Guys I have decked!
Spoken Word (Well, He Had It Com'in)
CHORUS
It Would be a short Career
The shortest of my life.
I had way too much fun
when they gave me a badge and a Gun.
It's become all too clear to me
that I can't deal with me that way.
When I see the things I See
(Fill in BREAK)
On this Job out here every day!

I Can't Seem To Get To You
I want to hold you tight
When I'm with you at night.
But no matter what I do,
I can't seem to get to you.
I watch everything I say,
And I go out of my way.
But no matter what I do,
I can't seem to get to you.
I can't get around all your guards,
'Cause they're too mean and hard.
And I can't break down your walls
'Cause you've built them too tall.
You say no, that's not true,
but no matter what I do.
I can't seem to get to you
But I'll keep on trying to.
And perhaps someday,
My dreams will come true.
I cry, and I try, and and I Cry, And I Try, til I'm blue.
But no matter what I do,
It's just not good enough
Because I can't get with you.
I want to hold you tight
When I'm with you at night.
But no matter what I do,
I can't seem to get to you.

The Words I Should Have Said
You meant the world to me
Had a heart as pure as gold.
But there-'s so much you nev-er knew
My true feel-ings nev-er show-ed.
I could-n't see a thing
Too ma-ny tears fil-led my eyes.
As they car-ried you a-way
'Cause you-'d nev-er re-al-ize.
(Chorus:)
I felt them in my heart
Had the words here in my head.
But, did-n't take the time to say
The words I should have said.
I work-ed too much to think
Just how lone-ly I would be.
Nev-er thought I'd see the day
When the Lord took you from me.
Now I know it's too late
I have to deal with my re-gret.
They say with time my pain will heal
But this pain I won't for-get.
(Repeat Chorus:)
(Bridge:)
It's a time for facing facts
When this dread-ful mom-ment comes.
You face all you did wrong
All the things you left un-done.

"Babe"
Love Ballad Piano and Strings
Babe,..I Had a Dream Last night that I Died.
I felt my soul rise through the clouds
I was on my way to heaven and I Felt Relief,
Knowing that I Would soon feel no more pain.
But Babe,...I was scared of leaving you behind,
knowing I had been so blind,..to the kind of Love
That you had shown me for years, but I Knew I'd
See you again someday, I'd see you again Someday.
Inst Solo Break Piano
Then Babe,... I met you on the way to the gate of pearl up there,
You were standing there, waiting for me,
When I arrived I could see you waiting for me
A smile on your face, in this beautiful place,... Babe.
Babe, we sat under a tree,
We were just talking, you and me,
I was looking in your eyes, when I realized
That I'd spent 25 years on earth with you!
Babe,... You were my wife for most of my life
we made it through, with each other true
The Good Times and The bad, the sad and the glad
And now we'd forever be together in the afterlife.
2nd Inst Solo
Babe,... I met you on my way
to heaven to reside, with you by my side,
to live with you, to be with you
To love you, To Love You,....Babe!

The Corridors Of Time

The Corridors Of Time (As recorded)
File cabinets lined along the walls,
Shadows and cobwebs fill up every hall.
Every file is occupying it's own space.
They're laying open all over the place,
Every moment I've lived, I lived in is there.
Pictures and memories are everywhere.
When I visit that storeroom I keep in my mind,
I find memories of my life and times.
When I'm down or I get to feeling sad.
it's where I find the good times I had
When it seems all my hope, all my hopes have gone.
The corridors of time help to me go on.
Every memory has a story it will tell.
Some bring smiles and others bring hell.
I recall tears from things I regret
I will find pictures of all the people I met.
When I'm down or I get to feeling sad.
it's where I find good times I had
When it seems all my hope, all my hopes have gone.
The corridors of time help to me go on.
When I'm down or I get to feeling sad.
it's where I find good times I had
When it seems all my hope, all my hopes have gone.
The corridors of time help to me go on.
File cabinets lined along the walls,
Shadows and cobwebs fill every hall.
Every file is occupying it's own space.
They're laying open all over the place,
Every moment that I have lived,
That I have lived in is there.
Pictures and memories are everywhere,
When I visit that storeroom in my mind,
I find memories of my life, memories in time.
Every memory has a story it will tell.
Some bring smiles, others bring hell.
I recall tears from things I regrets
I will find pictures of people I met.
When I'm down or I get to feeling sad.
it's where I find good times I had
When it seems all my hope, all my hopes have gone.
The corridors of time help to me go on.
File cabinets lined along the walls,
Shadows and cobwebs fill every hall.
Every file is occupying it's own space.
They're laying open all over the place,
Every memory has a story it will tell.
Some bring smiles, others bring hell.
I recall tears from things I regrets
I will find pictures of people I have met.
When I'm down or I get to feeling sad.
it's where I find good times I had
When it seems all my hope, all my hopes have gone.
The corridors of time help to me go on.

Through A Child's Eyes
I rode the prarie, slept under stars at night,
My rocket ship was always ready for a flight.
I was a pirate where my ship ruled the seas,
In my dreams I would be what I wanted to be.
I had fortune and fame, a house on the hill,
I'd lived in a world, behind my window sill.
Pure sweet dreams and a childs wild fantasies,
These were in the dreams that I use to see.
If the world could be as seen though a child's eyes,
We wouldn't have sorrow, no child would ever cry.
There wouldn't be color, no-one would put you down.
Everyone would live forever and no one would die.
Reality and sadness are what rules our world,
Where there's pain, with unhappy boys and girls.
The world has wars and taxes, bigots and fools,
We are living in an age without any any rules.
If the world could be as seen though a child's eyes,
We wouldn't have sorrow, no child would ever cry.
There wouldn't be color, noone would put you down.
Everyone would live forever and no one would die.

Sure Not A Thug
I Only Write The Songs that help change a life
Only the songs that help you get by
People are vain and self centered it seems
but then there are those with low self esteems.
I never just sit down and write a song
Until a solid idea come along
I try not to write sad sad songs
Or songs about everything that could go wrong.
With the invention of self driving cars
its just a matter of time won't be to long
the the Cowboy's Truck leave him at he bar
where he was celebrating mamas release from prison.
There are 250 million Love songs and just as many break ups
Theres no more room for songs that make people cry
No more room for what happens when you die
I can go my whole life without hearing another break up song
I won't write tme and I won't even try.
CHORUS
I Write song that people hum all day
They whistle the tunes to themselves
It make them smile when they remember the words
This is what I love to write, can't you tell?
While there are lots of artists who still do this stuff
I am not part of that club
I'm not a rapper of the Fake Cowboy Type
And I'm sure I'm not a thug~

La Mujer más Hermosa
Ella es una visión de belleza
Ella es una bestia atractiva
ella me enciende como
nada más ha hecho alguna vez.
Cuando la Encontré yo Sabía que Ella debe ser la mía
Yo Decidido no gastar cualquier tiempo
Antes de que demasiado mucho tiempo estuviéramos casados
La Amo con Todo mi corazón.
Cuando hacemos el amor recuerdan de mí
como el amor bueno puede sentir cuando con el
la mujer más hermosa en el mundo
Como Amo a la Mujer más Hermosa en el mundo.

Cops with Tied Hands
Department Policy is to prevent Lawsuits and claims
Not to protect lives and serve the same.
Never mind families and citizens pain,
Let's just don't cause any claims!
How can we win a war with our hands tied? How can we win?
When they run from a traffic stop they put all in Danger
They run lights and signs and it still get stranger
We can't pit them because they might get hurt
The Department won't equip our cars for war.
We go to work and see things we shouldn't
We go home and have nightmares of the same
Some guys can't take the pressure and strain
So they quit or drive a desk or do something mundane.
When the bad guys hurt someone during the crime
they are never given near enough time.
They get out of jail before their victims heal,
Then they go right back out and Rob and Steal.
Department Policy is to prevent Lawsuits and claims
Not to protect lives and serve the same.
Never mind families and citizens pain,
Let's just don't cause any claims!
How can we win a war with our hands tied? How can we win?

FakeBook
Social Media is on the fall,
the biggest waste of time of all.
People Spend hours a day
seeking love of friends and fame.
Chorus
What a joke fake people are
I wish I could put them all in a jar,
then toss that poison jar in the sea
and just walk away and let them be.
Why do you care what fake friends think?
Why do to tell the world whats personal to you?
Why are your familie's pictures shared
With people who really don't matter or care!
You open your life and open your home
to people you don't know and this is so wrong!
You volunteer private info online
to people seeking to possibly commit a crime!
So instead of wasting time online
why don't we plan some fishing time?
Let's go for a walk or a Picnic in the woods,
Or Write a song about something good!
If people really love you they will make it known,
They will visit you in your very own home.
When they talk to you it will be face to face,
not on a computer in some digital fake space!
If you haven't seen a friend in years,
they aren't a real friend and don't deserve your tears.
When People ignore what you do and say,
they are just not real people, they are nothing but Fakes!
Chorus X2
What a joke fake people are
I wish I could put them all in a jar,
then toss that poison jar in the sea
and just walk away and let them be.

I See You
Babe, you ask why I Love you so deeply
It's really simple for me these days.
It's because I Know Who You Are Inside
That's why it's really easy for me to say,
I See You.....I See You...Babe I See You.
When your hurting inside I always Know it
When you happy, the same thing holds true.
There's a Chemistry that flows like water between us,
That's why I always tell You That I Love You!
I See You.....I See You...Babe I See You.
I Don't need to hear it said to know you love me,
It's really just Like Icing on a Cake.
The Look in your eyes when you glance over at me,
Let's me know what You are thinking that day.
I See You.....I See You...Babe I See You.
I've been ask what draws me close to you,
I always say exactly the same thing.
It's the look in your eyes when we are kissing,
It's the way of your Love that you bring.
I See You.....I See You...Babe I See You.
When I see on my phone you left a message,
I think of Christmas when I was a child.
I Hurry to a spot where I can listen,
And maybe talk to you for a while.
I See You.....I See You...Babe I See You.
When I Come home from work and you are waiting
wearing nothing but a t Shirt and a smile,
I can't wait to run get in a quick a shower
And Lay with you for a long while, because

Today I done some thinking
Today I done some thinking
After I had done some drinking.
I thought a lot about the past,
Which has passed awful fast
I thought about women who loved me,
And about things I had dreamed to be.
I thought about all my mistakes,
And I thought about my heartaches.
I thought about my mom and dad,
And about the good times we had.
I thought of loved ones that had died,
And about the times I have cried.
Today I done some thinking
After I had done some drinking.
I thought a lot about the past,
Which has passed awful fast
I thought about my old school days,
And the roads I passed along my way.
I thought about my first sweetheart,
And about what had broke us apart.
I thought about the pain I caused,
And after a time I had to pause.
To wipe the tears from my eyes,
Cause some memories made me cry.
The next time I do some drinking,
I'm sure I will do some thinking.
When I travel back in time,
It always helps my mind.
Today I done some thinking
After I had done some drinking.
I thought a lot about the past,
Which has passed awful fast

Oh Cheater Man

Oh Cheater Man
When I was 30 I got board at home, Don't you see?
So I went out without her and broke up my happy home.
I lied and I cheated when I left her alone,
She just waited and cried next to the phone.
Oh I Made this a habit bout every Friday night,
I didn't care who it hurt of that it might cause a fight.
Her heart was broken when she found out the truth.
Her Cheater man was with a woman in a "Tavern of Sin."
Oh Cheater Man, Oh Cheater Man, now ain't you proud?
You ruined a love who stood by you no matter what you did.
You moved on and left that woman alone.
She never refused you, she only begged for you to come home.
So many years later you went back and appologized.
But by then she had re married and you were no longer in her eyes.
Her heart had been crushed so many years ago, but her memory
of you just stayed there and lingered on.
Seems like sometimes it takes years for an idiot to realize
what he had and what he lost when he decided he was a Whore Dog
And that dance floor was his home. The beer and the women were just his size.
Big and bold and strong as an ox, the gal he was with was sure not no fox.
30 odd years later and her love carries on,
She still calls you baby, but she never asks you to come home.
You know you did wrong to break her loving heart,
but it's just too late now to make an new start.
Oh Cheater Man, Oh Cheater Man, now ain't you proud?
You ruined a love who stood by you no matter what you did.
You moved on and left that woman alone.
She never refused you, she only begged for you to come home.

Don't Tell Me
How many times did you think
you had a true friend till the end?
But when you need that friend
they are not there for you, too busy or just don't care?
CHORUS
Don't tell me you love me, no don't you dare
Not not even family trying to put on an aire.
Don't Tell Me you Love Me, if it does not show,
If you can't be there for me then just let me go.
When you are older, you'll someday understand
that people are plastic, and fake, and have no heart.
You know who you can call when things go bad,
You know without hearing the words where to start.
People who say they care really don't
they are just looking to use you or something you have.
If you buy a boat, you'll have lot's of Friends
IF you have a moving truck, they'll be there till the end
But don't you see that it wasn't you they wanted
It was what they could use you for and what you own.
Oh Patronization is a finely trained skill they have
To use you for anything they want.
CHORUS
Don't tell me you love me, no don't you dare
Not not even family trying to put on an aire.
Don't Tell Me you Love Me, if it does not show,
If you can't be there for me then just let me go.
