Road Trip 03:01
Road Trip Words & Music by JW Hanberry Life is magic when you're on the road. Feels like time to hit the road So many places we could go Discoverin' things we did not know were there Wake up in a brand new state Hit the diner for the special plate Times like this, just don't have a care. Ch Road trip man we're rollin' now The world looks different somehow Pedal to the metal, make her go Life is magic when you're on the road. As we roll across the land Pushin' out through the desert sand O'er majestic mountains lush with trees so green Sittin' here behind the wheel Now I know how freedom feels. Jammin' in our shiny road machine Ch Road trip man we're rollin' now The world looks different somehow Pedal to the metal, make her go Life is magic when you're on the road. gtr Grinnin' faces as we fly Watch the mileposts spinnin' by We're exactly where we want to be Wavin' to locals as we pass Almost time to stop for gas Hey look, we finally made it to the sea. Ch Road trip man we're rollin' now The world looks different somehow Pedal to the metal, make her go Life is magic when you're on a Road trip, we're rollin' now The world looks different somehow Pedal to the metal, make her go Life is magic when you're on the road.

Fast Lane Hero Words and Music by JW Hanberry I'm not one to run around in circles All upset 'bout gettin' things done And I'm not gonna suffer stress and make myself crazy Spendin' all my time Tryin' to be number one ch Honey if you're lookin' for a fast lane hero Better look some other way Girl with me you're gonna get a fast lane zero Racin' down the fast lane's Just not the game I choose to play I don't get up in the mornin' playin' beat the clock Spillin' coffee runnin' out the door Might be noon before I get into my shoes and socks But I got what I need Don't need anymore ch Honey if you're lookin' for a fast lane hero Better look some other way Girl with me you're gonna get a fast lane zero Racin' down the fast lane's Just not the game I choose to play Br Fast lane Gassed brain Runnin' late Who's to blame For the past pain That drives you to this Whatcha missin' gtr Ch I've got a different picture 'bout the way things should be An' it don't sound like the life you wanna live If we can't shake the differences between you and me I wish you all the best but that's the best I got to give ch So honey if you're lookin' for a fast lane hero Better look some other way You know with me you're gonna get a fast lane zero Racin' down the fast lane's Just not the game I choose Racin' down that fast lane's, Not the game I chose to play. I'm not chasin' down the fast lane Ain't playin' in the fast lane Stay away from that fast lane ©2017 John W Hanberry (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

Horns of A Dilemma Words & Music by JW Hanberry On the horns of a dilemma Solution undecided Lost, don't know which way to go Thoughts are all divided Flip a coin to find the answer Which way are you goin'? Leave decision up to chance or Read the cards that show and ch Take a walk Get away Can you feel the rhythm Have a talk Spend a day Live and let the truth be given [re-Intro] Should you deal the tarot cards Go seek a fortune teller Cast I Ching with yarrow stalks Or find a potion seller Maybe you'll receive a dream Reveal a fair solution Secrets in the night it seems Can heal the mind's confusion. So [ch Take a walk Get away Can you feel the rhythm Have a talk Spend a day Live and let the truth be given to ya. br When you're tryin' to simplify your complications Searchin' low and high for an explanation Toss and turn all night Contemplation boilin' in your brain Come the morning turmoil still remains Inst Ch [re-Intro] Vs3 Might be good to ask a friend If they can help you figure What consequences you intend Before you pull the trigger. Comes right down to whether you should Take it or just leave it The answer in your heart is good So trust yourself, believe it. And ch Take a walk Get away Can you feel the rhythm Have a talk Spend a day Relax and let the truth be given to ya. ch Take a walk Get away You can feel the rhythm Have a talk Spend a day Live and let the truth be given to ya.

Friday's Talkin' To Me Words & Music by JW Hanberry Friday's talkin' to me A whisper in my ear Says man, it's almost quitin' time We gotta get outa here We'll go and cash that paycheck Buy us a tank a gas It's Friday night, the time is right Great things may come to pass Out on the end of Friday We'll go through the looking glass Friday's talkin' to me I hear it loud and clear Gonna go out with some friends of mine Drink ourselves some beer Maybe catch some music Shoot a little pool If we spot some pretty women We'll act a bunch of fools Out on the end of Friday Where everything is cool. [Gtr] Well Friday gave me a talkin' I forget now what it said Didn't give me no warnin' 'bout Saturday mornin' I'm laid out on my bed My mind is a mess, I'm half undressed Wrap that pillow round my head Remind me next week when I hear Friday speak To go straight home instead Out on the end of Friday It's a dangerous place to tread. ©2017 John W Hanberry (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

Sweat and Blood Words & Music by JW Hanberry You worked hard and you poured sweat You fought hard and you shed blood Ya put 'em together just hopin' to get Any little thing that you could. You put food on the table Left the dirty plates in the sink Did the best you was able But you got out of hand when you hit the drink Ch It's time to cool that crazy down Pick your self up out of the mud 'Cause every time you roll into town You come back covered in sweat and blood. 1/2 re-Intro Blood and sweat is all that you get For actin' the fool every time Leave it alone, don't bring it back home The blood and the sweat ain't worth a thin dime. [Ch] It's time to cool that crazy down Pick your self up out of the mud 'Cause every time you roll into town You come back covered in sweat and blood. Bridge You can spend all your lifetime sweatin' your heart out Bleedin' your poor body dry Instead of straight talkin' you just wanna shout Scared that you're about to cry Gtr Ch re-Intro Seems like a lot of wasted effort For the tiny reward that you get Why'n'cha try chillin instead of just spillin' All of that blood (and) all that sweat. [Ch] It's time to cool that crazy down Pick your self up out of the mud 'Cause every time you roll into town You come back covered in sweat and blood. Yeah every time you roll into town You come back covered in sweat and blood. Sweat and blood Sweat and blood ©2017 John W Hanberry (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

Already Dead 02:45
Already Dead Words & Music by JW Hanberry Was a battle royal came to pass One destruct the other Left a trail of broken glass Tryin' to run for cover A chorus of impassioned cries Rising from deserted lips Echoed from the stormy skies Welcome the apocalypse Ch We gave it mouth to mouth We butted head to head We kicked it like a horse But it was already dead We took it to the house Layed it on the bed We opened up the heart But it was already dead reIntro Gtr vs In a sweet and tender moment You reached out for my hand Try to stop the torment Hope to understand Comes a time to realize What once was precious, dead and gone Take a bit to eulogize it Wake up to a brand new dawn Ch We gave it mouth to mouth We butted head to head We kicked it like a horse But it was already dead We took it to the house Layed it on the bed We opened up the heart But it was already dead Ch (1st half naked) We gave it mouth to mouth We butted head to head We kicked it like a horse But it was already dead We took it to the house Layed it on the bed We opened up the heart But it was already dead ©2017 John W Hanberry (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

One Eyed Jack Words & Music by JW Hanberry No one knows where he come from Just drifted in one day Couldn't tell if he was on the run Or if he'd come to stay With a leather patch across one eye A bag to hold his clothes Look away, pass him by And wonder where his story goes. Ch He's such a mystery One Eyed Jack Never did say where he's been Or if he's ever goin' back I bet he's got a story 'bout days of former glory Before he switched the track One Eyed Jack He hung out on a park bench Talkin' to the birds Took a sip his thirst to quench And loosen up his words. Wandered by the feed store To catch the local talk When he didn't need no more He's gone around the block. [ch] He's such a mystery One Eyed Jack Never did say where he's been Or if he's ever goin' back I bet he's got a story 'bout days of former glory Before he switched the track One Eyed Jack gtr 1/2 ch One day they looked around Didn't see him anywhere Just the empty pint they found On the ground in the old town square The folks were left to ponder Did he meet his end Or was it time to wander And hit the road again He's just a memory One Eyed Jack Can't imagin where he's been Wonder if he's headed' back I'd wager that he understands The slickest way to play his hand And keep the game on track One Eyed Jack He'll keep the game on track One Eyed Jack. ©2017 John W Hanberry (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

Portrait Of A Time Words & Music by JW Hanberry It's a picture That captures a moment Like a song flying by in the wind Brings back a memory From a long time ago To remind you of places where you've been Graven image A mix of light and shadow That plays on your eye for a while You might find a face Your memory had misplaced In the sunshine wearing a smile Ch. A portrait from a time things were better Or a disaster that you try to forget You could say it in a verse Or write a thousand words But a picture can be so much better yet. Resonator Vs As the colors Fade into tomorrow Close your eyes and drift away to sleep While you're snuggled down You can dream away the sorrows Leave nothing but good memories to keep. Of a portrait from a time things were better A scene you never want to forget You could say it in a verse Or write a thousand words But a picture can be so much better yet. ©2017 John W Hanberry (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved

Doggone Lonely Blues Lyrics by Larry W Jones Music by JW Hanberry Well now, this old heart of mine keeps crying Like tears down a bottle of booze I'm so lonely that I'm gonna quit trying To lose these doggone lonely blues You said we'd be like birds of a feather In all kinds of weather, it's true Now my dear, I don't know as to whether I'll lose these doggone lonely blues (Bridge) Something told me before you were leaving That you'd go on a one way cruise Now you've left me here alone and grieving With just these doggone lonely blues (Instrumental) Somehow I feel like you're gone forever Cause when you left, you left no clues And now that you're gone, I know I'll never Live without the doggone lonely blues [Bridge] I suspect by now that you've found another Man to fill my old empty shoes But don't let me know because I'd rather Just live with these doggone lonely blues Live with these doggone lonely blues I live with these doggone lonely blues ©2017 Larry W Jones & John W Hanberry All Rights Reserved

Beer Song 02:16
Beer Song Words & Music by JW Hanberry Ch I hold my beer I hold it near Hoist it high I hold it dear So give a cheer Let's make it clear Want the world to hear I hold my beer Vs Well I can quaff it from a schooner Or tipple from a pint If you bring it in a pitcher I really wouldn't mind I'll down it from a drinking glass Slurp it from a mug Sip it from a bottle Pour it from a jug I hold my beer Vs I could get it in a Pony Or a big ol' full size Keg Might guzzle from a 40 'til it's runnin' down my leg I can hold it up in cans That I carry in a hat And look at it through goggles Wha'da you think of that I hold my beer. Ch I hold my beer I hold it near Hoist it high I hold it dear So give a cheer Let's make it clear Want the world to hear I hold my beer I hold my beer ©2017 John W Hanberry (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved
