Get Goin
It's a real cold Mornin
And I find it hard to get Goin
I left my warm, Snug, Bed
Must be out of My Head
I hope it was not a Mistake
But once, I'm up and Awake
It's a beautiful January Day
And I am finding it very OK!
I've worked all Day
Played half the Nigh
Find myself at Home
Zipped up Tight
In my Bed as I Lay
Tomorrow is another Day
Now I am, Snug and Warm
But in the Mornin I'll have to Perform

Chico Fernandez, sleepin' on his gun
Dreams of Santa Anna
Fighting in the sun
Drums so loud from both sides
Makes it hard to dream
A bluish fall on an orange fast
Makes that hard to seems reason
Mornin', calm mornin'
Ah, Chico's gonna have his share

Sad it must be Aahahahahahahahahahaha...

Early Morning Strangers
BY BARRY MANILOW AND HAL DAVID
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every mornin' many late night lovers
Wake up to become early mornin' strangers
Things always look different in the light of day
Every mornin' many late night lovers
Just silently stare, seein' all the changes
It's hard to make small talk
When there's nothin' to say
Early mornin' strangers
Lookin' at each other
That is all we are to one another
Early mornin' strangers
Who wake up to discover
It's just no good without love
To live without love is no life at all
Somewhere baby
There's got to be more
Somewhere baby there's a life worth livin'
Where nobody takes more than they are givin'
Where love is forever
Not just for a day
Early mornin' strangers
Lookin' at each other
That is all we are to one another
Early mornin' strangers
Who wake up to discover
It's just no good without love
To live without love is no life at all
Bye bye baby
I hope you find your love
And I hope I find mine
I hope you find your love
And I hope I find mine

Hello, Good Mornin
(kinky friedman, ronee blakley)
Hello good mornin, its suddenly dawnin
That its been awhile.
Last night I dreamed of a hollywood queen,
She was wearin your smile.
But yesterdays gone, girl, its only a song, girl,
Its hardly a crime.
Hello, good mornin, its suddenly dawnin
That youre still on my mind.
Hello, good mornin, its suddenly dawnin
That I need a friend.
Hope it aint wrong but I found myself longin
To call you again.
What indian-giver took back that river
And that warm summer rain ?
Hello, good mornin, its suddenly dawnin
That I miss you again.
Oh I know its early, were both in a hurry,
But its already late.
I always loved you, I still dream of you,
But the car pool wont wait.
When I used to hold you, remember I told you
That youd be someone,
Or was it cinderella tellin rockefeller
That time is the money of love ?
Hello, good mornin, its suddenly dawnin
That I need a friend.
Hope it aint wrong but I found myself longin
To call you again.
What indian-giver took back that river
And that warm summer rain ?
Hello, good mornin, its suddenly dawnin
That I miss you again.

Barely bearable
I find the winter hard to bear.
A fact that must clearly state.
I wish I had been born a bear
and had the sense to hibernate
I do not like the damp and cold
nor do I like the snow and ice
and it gets worse as I grow old.
I often think it would be nice.
To be a hairy grizzly bear
and sleep from autumn until spring.
Kept snug and warm by my thick hair,
no need to wake for anything.
But sadly I am not a bear
I need my thermal underwear.

Early Mornin Rain
(words & music by gordon lightfoot)
In the early mornin rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my -pockets full of sand
Im a long ways from home
And I missed my loved one so
In the early mornin rain
With no place to go
Out on runway number nine
Big 707 set to go
Well Im out here on the grass
Where the pavement never grows
Where the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
There she goes my friend
Shes rolling out at last
Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver wing on high
Shes away and westward bound
For above the clouds she flies
Where the mornin rain dont fall
And the sun always shines
Shell be flying over my home
In about three hours time
This ol airports got me down
Its no earthly good to me
cause Im stuck here on the ground
Cold and drunk as I might be
Cant jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin rain
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin rain
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin rain

Kiss An Angel Good Mornin
Kiss an angel good mornin
Whenever a chance to meet some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to be this way
I always got a smileing face any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why
I just smile and say
Youve got to kiss angel good mornin
And let her know you think about her when your gone
So kiss an angel good mornin
And love her like the devil when you get back home
Now people may guess the secret of happeniness
Some of them never learn
Its a simple thing
The secret Im speaking of
Is a woman and a man in love
And the anwser is in this song that I always sing
You got to kiss an angel good mornin
And let her know you think about her when your gone
So kiss an angel good mornin
And love her like the devil when you get back home
Kiss an angel good mornin
And let her know you think about her when your gone
So kiss an angel good mornin
And love her like the devil when you get back home.

Most sought After...Least received
Soft arms wrap around you
In friendly warm embrace
Gesture without words
A smile upon one’s face
No charge…no love lost…
No obligation, no reservation
Freely given, no fee or cost
Warm reception, no hesitation
Not asked for… yet freely given
Rush of sensation, so warm, so snug
The most sought after thing…(for me)
is a warm friendly hug

Searchin
(allen collins - ronnie vanzant)
I asked the wiseman one sunny day
Can you help me find my way
Youre so much older and wiser too
Would you help me mr wiseman
Im feelin blue
Oh Im not satisfied
He said youre not doin too bad, not bad at all
Youre just trying to walk son before you can crawl
You got stacks of money to sky up above
Now all you need is to find you a love
He sent me searchin to find my love
He sent me searchin to the lord up above
He sent me searchin just to find the mornin dove
And shell tell you where to find your love
Oh mr wiseman I need to find my love
You can have anything in this gods world
But you wont be happy son til you find a girl
Now you can be happy boy if you try
Find a woman boy, youll be satisfied
He sent me searchin to find my love
He sent me searchin , I said lord up above
He sent me searchin just to find the mornin dove
And shell tell you where to find your love
He sent me searchin to find my love
He sent me searchin , I said lord up above
He sent me searchin just to find the mornin dove
And shell tell you where to find your love
Oh lord, he sent me searchin

In The Mornin
In the mornin'
When my feet hit the floor,
I will praise Him.
Yes I,
Praise Him.
In the mornin'
When I walk out my door,
I praise Him.
Yes I,
Praise Him.
When I praise Him I keep motivated.
And my heart is elevated!
Shaking trouble makers away.
When I praise Him I know He's my Savior,
Saving me from bad behavior.
And those who bait that hate,
Wont spoil my flavor.
In the mornin'
When I'm yawning at dawn,
I praise Him.
Yes I,
Praise Him.
In the mornin'
I've got faith so strong.
'Cause I'm blessed to know that God is with me,
All day long!
In the mornin'
When my feet hit the floor,
I will praise Him.
Yes I,
Praise Him.
In the mornin'
When I walk out my door,
I praise Him.
Yes I,
Praise Him.
Oh yes I,
Praise Him.
Yes I,
Praise Him.
Oh yes I...
Praise Him.
Yes I,
Praise Him!
Oh yes I...
Praise Him.
In the mornin'
When I walk out my door,
I praise Him.
Yes I,
Praise Him.

Too Much Light
It was a mighty snug resort, that Sydney-side hotel:
A snug resort where fellows dined 'not wisely, but too well';
The boarders all had gone to bed, and other men departed,
When Pat suggested to his pal 'twas nearly time they started.
They drifted to the closing bar, and asked the sleepy waiter
For two cigars,to light 'em home before the hour grew later;
Pat lit his; while his chum exclaimed, 'Ole chappie, gimme light!
I don't know how you're feeling, but I'm very, very tight!'
... Tis very hard to get a light'-he lurched against the bar,
And most appealingly remarked 'Which is the right cigar?
'Tis difficult to fix it; you guess, p'r'aps, what I mean;
I know you're only smoking one, but I can see fifteen!'

A Warm And Welcoming Light
The light in your window
shines bright every night,
like a warm and welcoming
beacon light,
but I cannot see it.
I am too far away
locked in a prison
for the crimes that I have done.
One day when they release me
home, I am going to run,
to the warm and welcoming
beacon light in your window.
I promise when I get there
I will never leave again,
no more crimes will I commit.
Every bird builds a nest
as cosy and snug as can be.
So I built a home for us
where a fire burns
to make it
warm and welcoming
like a home should be.
I ask myself the question
how long will it be
before I can lay down
in the green grass of my home.
The answer comes back,
but not the one that I want to hear.
It will be many more years
before you can go home.
So I sit in my jail cell
waiting for that day,
when I can again breath
the clear free fresh air,
come running up the path
to see you at the door.
Come to my sweet home
and stay forever more.

Drinking Champagne
I'm drinking champagne, feelin' no pain 'till early mornin'.
Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.
I'm havin' a fling with a pretty young thing 'till early mornin'.
Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.
Guilty conscience, I guess.
Though I must confess.
I never loved you much when you were mine.
So, I'll keep drinking champagne,
Feelin' no pain 'till early mornin'.
Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.
Having a fling with a pretty young thing 'till early mornin'.
Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.

Life is a Journey; Not a Destination
The time has come
To say good bye
I gave it my all
I really did try
I took your heart
Which I broke in two
I tried to fix it
I did all I could do
Your eyes once warm
Now dead and cold
Your words once soft
Now cutting and bold
I became the man
You knew I could be
But now it's too late
These changes you won't see
You live in my past
Not here in today
Tomorrow doesn't matter
Our dreams washed away
You need to be happy
So I need to go
These changes to you
Are only a show
I bid you farewell
I wish you the best
I hope you find peace
I hope you find rest
I hope you find life
How you want it to be
I hope you find love
Even if not with me
My journey continues
Even if I'm alone
My Lord God will guide me
To wherever is home
For He knows my heart
And he knows my soul
In him I do trust
I am not alone
For the day will come
When I know his plan
I once was a boy
But now I'm a man
Even though I feel weak
I know I am strong
My path it is narrow
My path is so long
So I bid you farewell
And I hope I will find
That your path is not different
You're just two steps behind
For this is life is so short
And I have no control
My one living wish
Is to be one with your soul
It may not be tomorrow
But in the next life
Eternity together
As husband and wife
Take care my sweet princess
Take care my best friend
I will love you forever
As time has no end
On my path I continue
My heart it does know
Where God wants to take me
So with Him I will go

My Beautiful Lie
Every time I wake up and find myself in this place
As my hands run up to my face
To rub the drowsiness out of my eye
I find myself wrapped in my beautiful lie
In this warm and cozy home
Where I feel the most cold and alone
Wrapped up in my blanket seeking the warm
As my cold heart begins to do it's harm
Making things vivid to my eye the tears leak out and I cry
Here I begin to weave my beautiful lie
My time of wants and need
The time I'm overwhelmed by a perpetual greed
Can't help but think how I'm pathetically nice
As my cold blood runs through my veins like ice
My body shivers even though the sun hits it as it rises on high
Here I thread the needle for my beautiful lie
As the needle starts in with my sin
The stitching starts to begin
My body goes cold and unfeeling as stone
The wounds deeper then bone
Losing my fear and almost wishing to die
Here I bleed my beautiful lie
I begin to laugh and smile
Lost inside my own guile
Here I find myself wrapped up in my beautiful lie
Rubbing the tears from my eye
As your hands leave my face
Every time I wake up and see you in this place
...Inside my beautiful lie

You Can't Keep A Job
Why should I let you sleep...
When,
I can't get a wink.
And,
You want even let me nod...
When I've worked real hard.
Why should I listen to you...
When,
You never listen to me.
And,
I find it real odd...
You can't keep a job!
But you tell me how you work,
All day!
And you say you have no time,
To play.
And...
When I turn away you tell me,
I'm being evil.
I'm just trying to do my best...
To get me some rest.
Why should I let you sleep...
When,
I can't get a wink.
And,
You want even let me nod...
When I've worked real hard.
Why should I listen to you...
When,
You never listen to me.
And,
I find it real odd...
You can't keep a job!
I find it real odd...
You can't keep a job!
Why should I listen to you...
When,
You never listen to me.
And,
I find it real odd...
You can't keep a job!
'Today? '
I find it real odd...
You can't keep a job!
'Today? '
I find it real odd...
You can't keep a job!
'Today? '
I find it real odd...
You can't keep a job!

Back Up Against The Wall
(J.R. Cobb/Buddy Buie)
I was dealin' up and down the highway
Till they caught me with a heavy load
They sentenced me to hard labor
Workin' on the side of the road
Now I don't deny I was guilty
And I know I broke the law
I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope
And my back was up against the wall
Now I'm right outside your window
Honey open up and let me in
I broke out of jail this mornin'
And I ain't never goin' back again
I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at all
'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall
I was shackled to a three-time loser
A man named Jefferson
One night we got to talkin'
And I asked him what he'd done
He said a man fell over my razor
In the middle of a barroom brawl
But don't you see it was him or me
And my back was up against the wall
Now I'm right outside your window
Honey open up and let me in
I broke out of jail this mornin'
And I ain't never goin' back again
I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at all
'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall
Now I'm right outside your window
Honey open up and let me in
I broke out of jail this mornin'
And I ain't never goin' back again
I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at all
'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall
I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall
Yeah I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall
