Ride The Horizon
06:17

Had to hit the road today
Felt I had to leave right away
You said there's nothing more to say
So I thought I just had to throw it all away
What I'm feeling, what I'm thinking
Seems it just don't mean a thing
We've lost our sense of understanding
I just can't stay tied when I need to spread my wings
ChorusSo I'll ride to the horizon
That's the way I'm bound to live
I see a line beyond any reason
The wild is calling me today
Those two wheels drawing my future
I'll let them take me where they will
I'll find my own way sooner or later
As long as I have the sunshine upon the hill
As long as I can feel alive, feeling free
So I'll ride to the horizon
That's the way I'm bound to live
I see a line beyond any reason
The wild is calling me today
So I'll ride to the horizon
That's the way I'm bound to live
No turning back, for any reason
The wild is calling me today

57's Boogie
04:33

The old Junior was playing while my ol’ friend's saying
There is a long time ago during the gold 70's
(Babyboom of the 50's)
Just partys with friends and smokes we had stollen
Hidden from parents, we 're the Rolling Stones
(listening good rock n roll )
We wanted to take a bite out off our life
Did not imagine getting old and after life
Live our first shaking flirts, those first loving hurts
Hearing for the first time "Who are You "
About next hollydays, when the boys will play football
Girlfriends , camping and the guitar will squall
We wanted to take a bite out off our life
Did not imagine getting old and after life
It was the good time
Yeah the old time
57's boogie
Sometimes we played hooky even if weren't lazy
We used to shooting eight ball and yellin at the pinball machine.
Into that juke box records it's still the same chords
That we're still playing as if we were holding a sword

You got your ways, I'll just stick with mine
Say what you will, I've got my own mind
I don't care if I stand alone in the middle of the crowd
You're tellin' me, the place to sit
But let me tell you now, I won't take no shit
Won't follow anyone, I'll lead my life alone in the way
Alone in the way
You think you can tell, I hear you, what's in my head
But you won't ever catch me, 'cause I'm still on the move
Nothing you can do, I'm bound to get away from here.

The Graybar Hotel

Didn't know where they'd taken me, thought I was in hell
Too wasted to remember, my mind was a total mess
Couldn't get my thoughts together, even my own name I couldn't tell
I was just stranded in the unknown, crazed in creepy darkness.
And they told me : it's like in the movies
The whole story took shape again, but I couldn't believe what they said
If there was any bit of truth in there, I'd just rather wish I was dead.
Refrain Now I'm lost, I'm on this side of life I hate
No mirror won't even stand to reflect my face
There's no way you can go back to, the moment before you fuck things up
One second after, and come what may, there's only shame to fill your cup
Now I'm lost, I'm on this side of life I hate
No mirror won't even stand to reflect my face
I'm a disgrace, and I'll just have to live with it
No mirror won't even stand to reflect my face

Cold Beer And Hot Chicks
04:06

I'm fed up, fed up working my ass off everyday
Big boss man is just drivin' me crazy
I swear I'll throw that computer out the window someday
But I got my pay, and now I've got to say :
Cold beer and hot chicks
They'll rock my blues away
Let the jukebox play, and I'll be OK
One, two, one too many is what I had tonight
On stage a cool lil' band, it was playin' just tight
One, two, three or four guys trying to start a fight
But I said hey,you've got to calm down men, alright :
Cold beer and hot chicks
They'll rock your blues away
Let the jukebox play, we'll all be OK
Cold beer and hot chicks,
They'll rock your blues away
Let the jukebox, let the jukebox play.
Cold beer and hot chicks
They'll rock your blues away
Let the jukebox play, we'll all be OK
Cold beer and hot chicks,
They'll rock your blues away
Let the jukebox, let the jukebox play.

Drifting Thoughts
04:26
|

I have been waiting all days long
I seem to drift my thoughts along
World will always be the same
I have my hope and have my dreams
Lone in my room wish you were there
One more night into haunted dreams
Looking for a light to guide my way
And get out from rainy days
Don’t tell you love me
Don’t want to take my dreams away
I still wonder who you are
My mind can escape me anywhere
I know your place might be somewhere
To touch my heart and burn my soul
Step in the wind of fantasy
You never told me I was the one
The man you called in your sweet dreams
Deep in your soul I would be hiding
You will never know if you don’t try
Don’t tell you love me
Don’t want to take my dreams away
Don’t want you to say
You’d better keep secrets away
I still wonder who you are

Here They Come
04:56

Heard a tune last night, man it just blew my mind
Damn a wicked stuff, I'd never heard that type of sound
First thought my radio had exploded
Then the DJ said...
"Lucky fellows, that was the best new band in town
Sure the new thing, they shake the earth for miles around
They'll be playing your hometown
And they sure will tear you down !"
Here they come, The Georgia Fretburnin' Gentlemen
Here they come, playin' like hell
Here they come, and no grass will ever grow again
And you ain't seen nothing yet !
They got soul, and they got the best country too
They know the blues, and the tastiest funky licks too
They got the twin guitars
And their singer comes from Mars
Here they come, The Georgia Fretburnin' Gentlemen
Here they come, playin' like hell
Here they come, and you just want to play like them
But you're sure so far from there !
Here they come, The Georgia Fretburnin' Gentlemen
Here they come, playin' like hell
Here they come, and you'll play it again and again
'Til you end up out of your brain

Running My Life Insane
04:00

Running down that highway, in my automobile
I love to be speeding , all down the hill
I just want to tell you, how good I feel
And I don’ care if I got to pay the bill
Freeriding that mountain in the deep snow
I love to be speeding, don’t like it slow
I just want to tell you, how good I feel
And I don’ care if I got to pay the bill
I like to go my way, don’t want to change my mind
Do not try to blame me, I’d rather go blind
All I need and all I want, It’s living in the fast lane
Cause it belongs to me, running my life insane
Riding on my dirt bike, on a county track
I love to be speeding and don’t look back
I just want to tell you, how good I feel
And I don’ care if I got to pay the bil
I like to go my way, don’t want to change my mind
Do not try to blame me, I’d rather go blind
All I need and all I want, It’s living in the fast lane
Cause it belongs to me, running my life insane

Well let me tell you about days of old
Life was just like in black & white
Kids back then they used to have their fun
But something there was just not right
Could you feel it ?
Something was missing by my side
Oh ol'Leo Fender
Where had you been all this time
We were just waiting for you
Solid bodies and thinlines
To me much more than only a piece of wood
Carrying life just like blood into my veins
I wanted my own one,
Then as many as I'd get,
Needed them, Craving for them, Wanted 'em all !
Oh ol'Orville Gibson
Thank God you were there this time
What'd have we been without you
probably just some poor guys
Let'em say we're just kids with their toys
Let your Mum and Dad say it won't get you a job
You were given a voice of your own,
You have to let it scream, you gotta let it roar
Oh ol'Leo Fender
Thank God you were there this time
You gave me the power
That made me a man.

It Is What It Is
06:15

It still hurts today
To speak about you
I feel blue
When I think of you
Pictures of you don’t help me through
Do you know how lost my heart is
I think it remembers you too much
When I wake up
In those cold nights full of sorrow
I hope you hear me
You’ll always be a light in my soul
Do you know how lost my heart is
I think it remembers you too much
No rules for that game
It is what it is till the end of time
You’ll stay in my mind
I wish you were here
I would just hold your hand
But you left my world forever
It is what it is
It still hurts today
To speak about you
I feel blue
I hope you hear me
You sure will always be a light in my soul
It is what it is, It is what it is, till the end of time
You’ll stay in my mind
