We perform several
original songs,
and we are posting the
lyrics on this page for your enjoyment.
LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR
HER LOVER HAS LEFT FOR THE CITY
SHE WAITS BY THE MAILBOX, SHE WAITS BY THE TELEPHONE.
SHE CAN’T REST, JUST THINKING , THAT HE’LL CALL HER
AND SAY I NEED YOU I’M ALL ALONE
IT’S THEIR LONG, LONG, LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR
IT’S BREAKING THEIR HEARTS, MAKING THEIR LIFE SO UNFAIR
IT’S THEIR LONG, LONG, LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR
SHE TOLD HIM WHEN HE LEFT THAT SHE’D ALWAYS CARE
THROUGH THEIR LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR.
HIS LOVER HAS LEFT FOR LEARNING,
HE WORKS TIL NIGHT FALLS
AND READS UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAY
HE CAN’T REST, JUST THINKING
HOW HE WANTS HER, HOW HE NEEDS HER
AND HOW HE CAN’T TAKE
THEIR LONG, LONG, LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR
IT’S BREAKING THEIR HEARTS, MAKING THEIR LIFE SO UNFAIR
IT’S THEIR LONG, LONG, LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR
LET THE JEALOUS ONES AMONG US BEWARE
OF A LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR.
I’VE BEEN WANTING YOU TO STAY BY ME,
I’VE BEEN MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES,
I’VE BEEN FOOLED INTO LOVE BEFORE,
AT FIRST SIGHT, NOW LATE AT NIGHT,
I CAN’T SLEEP, I’M WAITING ON YOU TO WALK THROUGH MY DOOR
BUT FOR OUR LONG, LONG LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR
I’D EXPECT YOU HERE, I’D EXPECT OUR LIFE TO BE MORE FAIR
IT’S OUR LONG, LONG LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR
I’VE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH MEMORIES OF YOU
AND THIS LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR.
WASH AWAY MY BLUES
THE BOTTLE HAD A HOLD ON ME.
IT HELD ME TIGHTER EVERY DAY.
I DIDN’T KNOW IF I WAS GIVIN’ UP OR GIVIN’ IN.
I WAS IN TROUBLE EITHER WAY.
I TRIED TO DO EVERYTHING YOU SAID,
I TRIED TO BE SOMEBODY NEW.
BUT ALL THE TIME I WAS BUILDING WALLS,
JUST TO HIDE MYSELF FROM YOU.
I’VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.
I’VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO TRY.
WASH AWAY MY BLUES
AND HANG ME OUT TO DRY.
NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK,
NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY.
I CAN’T FIND ANY ANSWERS
I’VE STOPPED ASKING WHY.
SO I’LL SEND OUT ONE MORE DESPARATE CALL,
I HOPE YOU’LL PICK UP ON THE LINE.
I NEED YOU TO LOVE ME JUST AS I AM.
I KNOW I’M RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
I’VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.
I’VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO TRY.
WASH AWAY MY BLUES
AND HANG ME OUT TO DRY.
FRIGHTENED PINING SOUL
GOOD TIMES ARE GONE AND YOU’RE NOT HERE
NIGHT IS COLD AND FULL OF FEAR
AND ANGELS SELDOM EVER CHEER
MY FRIGHTENED PINING SOUL
MY FRIGHTENED PINING SOUL
SINCE YOU DECIDED NOT TO STAY,
I’VE BEEN TRYING EVERY DAY
TO KEEP THE PAIN AND THE HURT AWAY
FROM MY FRIGHTENED PINING SOUL
MY FRIGHTENED PINING SOUL
SINCE YOU’VE GONE IT’S HARD TO FIND REALITY
WHEN MY LOVE’S BEEN TAKEN NEEDLESSLY
YOUR SOFT TOUCH AND CLEVER FLIRTING
LEFT MY MIND AND MY BODY TURNING
BUT IT NEVER STOPPED THE BURNING
IN MY FRIGHTENED PINING SOUL
MY FRIGHTENED PINING SOUL
IF YOU’VE FOUND YOU’VE MADE A MISTAKE
COME TO ME I KNOW YOU CAN MAKE
A SHELTER FROM THE WORLD AND TAKE
THIS FRIGHTENED PINING SOUL
MY FRIGHTENED PINING SOUL
BEHIND THE BAR
I WAS JUST A LITTLE KID, HANGING OUT IN
GRANDPA’S BAR,
LISTENING TO THE SOLDIERS BACK HOME FROM THE WAR.
I LISTENED TO THEIR STORIES OF BATTLES FOUGHT AND WON,
EVERYONE WAS PROUD OF THE JOB THAT THEY HAD DONE.
MY DADDY WAS A SOLDIER AND WHEN HE WENT AWAY TO WAR
HE REALLY UNDERSTOOD
JUST WHAT HE WAS FIGHTING FOR.
DADDY KEPT THE BAR WHEN I WENT TO VIETNAM
BEFORE IT ALL WAS OVER, NOBODY GAVE A DAMN
I CAME HOME TO TEND THE BAR AFTER SAIGON FELL
AND WHEN I FALL ASLEEP AT NIGHT I DREAM ABOUT THE HELL.
I WAS A FULL-GROWN MAN WHEN I WENT AWAY TO WAR
BUT I STILL DON’T KNOW
JUST WHAT I WAS FIGHTING FOR.
YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE, AND I’M STILL BEHIND THE BAR
NOTHING MUCH HAS CHANGED AND AGAIN WE’VE GONE TO WAR
THIS TIME IT’S MY SON, WHO’S BEEN CALLED TO THE DESERT SAND
HE THINKS HE HAS TO GO, JUST TO PROVE THAT HE’S A MAN.
MY SON IS JUST A BOY, TOO YOUNG TO FIGHT A WAR
HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND
JUST WHAT HE’S FIGHTING FOR.
YEAH, MY DADDY WAS A SOLDIER, AND WHEN HE WENT AWAY TO WAR
THE WHOLE WORLD KNEW
JUST WHAT HE WAS FIGHTING FOR.
YEAH, THE WHOLE WORLD KNEW
JUST WHAT HE WAS FIGHTING FOR.
THE CLOCK DOESN’T MAKE A SOUND
POLITICIANS HEAD ON UP TO WASHINGTON DC
THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE YOUR FRIEND AND MINE
BUT THEY GET WAY UP THERE
AND THEY DON’T SEEM TO CARE
AND ALL THEY DO IS PARTY ALL THE TIME.
THAT’S JUST THE TEA POT TALKING
THE BEER BARREL BUBBLING
THE WINE GOING ROUND AND ROUND
THAT’S JUST THE LIQUOR BOTTLE LAUGHING
THE COFFEE BEANS CRACKING
AND THE CLOCK DOESN’T MAKE A SOUND.
BOYS AT A POKER GAME THEY ALL STARTED BLUFFING
AND LAYING THEIR MONEY DOWN,
BUT WHEN THE RIVER GOT DEALT
YOU COULD SEE HOW THEY FELT
BY THE SWEAT POPPING UP ON THEIR BROW.
(CHORUS)
IT’S THE SAME OLD SAME OLD
IT’S A COMFORT AND A CURSE
I’M SO SATISFIED WITH JUST GETTING BY
I JUST DO WHAT THEY SAY
AND I DO IT DAY BY DAY
I DON’T EVER ASK ANYONE WHY.
(CHORUS)
IT’S NOT ABOUT ME
IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU,
IT’S ALL ABOUT WHAT
MAKES YOU DO WHAT YOU DO.
YOU DANCE UNTIL MIDNIGHT
YOU SING UNTIL DAWN
YOU WORK LIKE A DOG
TIL YOU CAN’T GO ON.
(CHORUS)
