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.
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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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
