Where Did the Love Go

I wonder what tomorrow will bring
Fingers crossed that truck'll pick me up and get me going again
So I won't have to walk by your house and see that old porch swing
Where we'd rock in the evening breeze and share a little loving
Holding hands I realised that you were my demise
As you smiled from ear to ear and sang me a lullaby
Now there's a river between us and a broken bridge
Your smile has washed away whatever happened to us
Where did the love go nobody knows
Maybe I'll find it in a song
I used to comb my hair and clean up real nice
Mind my ps and qs such a gentleman, so polite
Now I guess I changed into a god damn son of a bitch
With a perfume tainted shirt and lipstick on the stitch
Why'd the hell I give in to those wicked ways
I guess an old dog's bound to stray, like the good old days
Rumours and whispers swirling across town
Convicted and crucified I'd better not stick around
Where did the love go nobody knows
I wish I knew what went wrong
Where did the love go nobody knows (
Maybe I'll find it in a song
Yeah you got your troubles and I got mine
We're all just trying to survive
I'll meet my maker and she'll decide
Where did the love go nobody knows
I wish I knew what went wrong
Where did the love go nobody knows
Maybe I'll find it in a song

Crazy For You (live)

You're like the rising sun coming over the hill
Sharing warmth and goodwill
Even the rain reminds me of you
Pure and sweet that's just you
That's why I'm crazy for you
No matter what you do
I've loved you all along
You can do no wrong
Only the rustling wind knows where I've been
And the moon knows where I'm going
The thunder and the lightening is so exciting
It stirs up my heart whenever we're apart
That's why I'm crazy for you
No matter what you do
I've loved you all along
You can do no wrong
Your love is like a river that brings me back to you
Washing all my worries clean through and through
Like the setting sun (Dm) heading over the hill
Your warmth is with me still
That's why I'm crazy for you
No matter what you do
I've loved you all along
You can do no wrong

Take It Slow

Like a chicken with the head cut off
I’m so busy I got no time to stop
folks been telling me “get your head on straight”
I’m trying to figure it out, before its too late
Take it easy
Don’t you know
When the world spins faster
All you got to do is take it slow, take it slow
Easy come and easy go
It aint that easy you know
I’ve been punching the clock day and night
And every Sunday I pray I’ll see the light
Take it easy
Don’t you know
When the world spins faster
All you got to do is take it slow, take it slow
I was making love, nearly at the finish line
When she whispered let’s take our sweet time
That’s what I call an epiphany
When I finally realised what you all been telling me
Take it easy
Don’t you know
When the world spins faster
All you got to do is take it slow, take it slow

Flower (live)

Walking down the sidewalk I see
Pretty little flowers looking up at me
Peaking through cracked concrete
A little garden at my feet
Daisies and dandelions
Such beauty aint hard to find
Petals waving in the breeze
Bringing me to my knees
Flower, flower, pretty little flower
How do you grow
We mistreated Mother Nature
But you still grow, flower pretty flower
Surrounded by skyscrapers
Fish and chips in newspapers
Overflowing garbage cans
Little flowers take a stand
Look on down any old street
You’ll find blossoms at your feet
Pushing through the pavement
Lord I think they must be heaven sent
Flower, flower, pretty little flower
How do you grow
We mistreated Mother Nature
But you still grow, flower pretty flower

Impostor

I've got an education a piece of paper
My name is on a door but sooner or later
They'll find out who I really am
And see right through this empty man
I'm an impostor a real fake
A plastic helicopter a big big mistake
People call me sir I’ve got a parking space
But I'm hollow on the inside an empty briefcase
I wear a three piece suit they want to vote for me
My face is on a billboard maybe now they'll see
I'm an impostor a real fake
A plastic helicopter a big big mistake
I won the election by a landslide
They're counting on me but I just want to hide
Now I'm hosting parties people laugh at my jokes
It's hilarious what's wrong with these folks
I'm an impostor a real fake
A plastic helicopter a big big mistake
I'm an impostor a plastic helicopter

Gasoline (live)

I drove my truck down to the lake
Just a catch a fish for supper
‘But I ran out of gas cause I dove to fast
In my four-barrel Chevrolet
Now I’m walking home
And I’m all alone
And I Dontl have any dinner
Guess I better hitch hike all the way home
I’m out of gasoline gasoline
Well Uncle Roy he gave me a call
Said I need your help in the fair tomorrow
I said sure enough but there just ion thing we gotta start off a whiskey or gin
And have little drink to two before we begin
I need my gasoline, gasoline
Well next time you won’t be walking home cause you drove your truck on fumes alone
You’ll be glad you had a spare can in the back
Just pull it out and pour it in
Your back on there road with big ole grin, your on the highway back home
You got your gasoline, gasoline
Keeps my engine clean
Keeps me running clean

See You Again (live)

I saw an airplane flying overhead
I wonder where it's going to
Looking up into the big but sky
That’s when I thought about you
I don't know here I'm going or where I've been
But its alright cause I know I'll see you again
One is one and two is two
That's how I know that I can count on you
Sometimes I go out of my mind
And a friend is hard to find
I wonder where you are today
Wonder what it is you'd say
If I saw you on the street and stopped you in your tracks
And told you what you meant to me
I don't know here I'm going or where I've been
But it's alright cause I know I'll see you again
