The Tango of My Life

I’m leaving this party
I’m out of this town
I’m not your play thing
I’m not your friend
Being true to me first
Means I’ll love again
This story of mine waits for me
To create the middle and the happy end
Since you took the beginning
there’s one thing I control
that’s this journey,
and what I see around that bend

I dance and cry
Does that make sense
No it doesn’t!
One moment I’m spent
The next I’m beginning again
The tango of my life
The tears of my song
Bring me along this journey
a million miles
so long, so long, so long
to this world of wrong

Driving a million miles away from you
Makes me true
True to me, And what’s ahead
Yesterday I fell, I cried, I lied,
Today
I drive, I drive, I drive
Away from you
Where I know I’ll find me,

I’m sad
I’m scared
I’m lonely
And you know
I’m anxious to know where
This road leads
With the dust behind me,
And the sun above,
I’m ready,
I’m moving on

Don’t cry
Cause I’ve stopped
And what use to be tears
are sunshine spots
little specks of hope
all dried up
they’ve taught me to cope
to push on, to see around the corner
to dream of what’s ahead
to leave my past behind…
enough said!!!

it’s time to drive, a country mile,
a long country mile,
time to look ahead
time to say one more thing…
see ya bye, the end!

In The Darkness of the Night

In the darkness of the night
I cried a broken heart
I dried a blood stained tear
In the darkness of the night
I wished that you were here
to crush this thing called fear
please don’t leave me now
when things may not seem clear
’cause without you by my side
without you being here
I’de die a thousand deaths
in each and every tear

Your life has been my teacher
Your strength  has showed me how
as I’ve faded into black
You’ve lifted me from shadows
you seemed to bring me back
by knowing what I lack
please don’t leave me now
you can count on me to stay
’cause all I need is you
to wipe these tears away
I’de live a million years
to see you every day

In the darkness of the night
please mend my broken heart
please kiss away these tears
In the darkness of the night
please crush this thing called fear
I wish that you were here
I wish that you were here
it hurts to bleed this fear
it just hurts

The Story of Love Gone Wrong

(VERSE 1)
This is the story of love gone wrong
A lover’s lament This couple’s dreaded song…
She walked through the door
Her foot hit the floor,
said, “I can’t take no more, I’m GONE!”
Every apple and orange doesn’t get along
listen to the tale written in this song

(CHORUS)
He drank He lied He womanized
His pants were really oversized
She said my love is dead inside…
She didn’t even patronize
looked him straight between the eyes
said kiss my heart shaped a** goodbye
then turfed him on his levis…
now he’s hangin’ with his barflies

(VERSE 2)
She’s not missin him, not one little hair,
Her house isn’t empty,
he was never REALLY there!
The only thing she’s missing
“13 cases of beer”
Did he love her once?
She’ll never ask again,
It’s irrelevant when
He won’t change or make amends

(CHORUS)
He drank He lied He womanized
His pants were really oversized
She said my love is dead inside…
She didn’t even patronize
looked him straight between the eyes
said kiss my heart shaped a** goodbye
then turfed him on his levis…
now he’s hangin’ with his barflies,
to this day drinkin’ he denies!

(VERSE 3 & CHORUS END)
Safe to say, she’s better today,
She lives in her quiet ways.
Been dating a few
All things feel new
and fortunately
she hasn’t met one quite like…
“You Know Who” …
Who drank Who lied Who womanized
Who’s pants were always oversized!
Who was really good at telling lies,
Now her butt no longer says goodbye…
So long to him in this farewell song
A kiss bah-bye to love gone wrong..
