On Me
© 1977, B.W. Lusk, S. Smith

Don’t talk to me ‘bout no future plans
‘Cause you know I will treat you bad
If it’s any kind of consolation, baby
You’re the best that I ever had

Now Tommorrow I be headed down St. Louis way
You know we booked it a month ago
So lay back and love me for one more night
Before I move on, down the road

I met a hellava woman down in Alabam’
She was small and firm and lean
She had a couple of tricks and some fancy licks
She sure could make me scream

Hey, remember that gig down in Tulsa
We were cookin’ with gas for sure
Now when we hit that guitar for the final chord
The crowd was beggin, for just one more

Chorus
You know I’ll be in town for a couple of days
Now won’t you come and keep me company
Playing one night stands in a rock n roll band
Lord, it’s takin’ its toll
On Me . . .

When we’re all done packin up our gear
I’ve got one more night to stay
Before we head on down to another town
And climb up on that stage and play . . . .
Guitar Break (1/2 verse)

So if its alright with you
its just fine with me
Don’t mind me if I act too bold
I just need a little something to keep me warm
Cause the nights here, are too damn cold

Repeat Chorus

Down The Hallway
©1978, B.W. Lusk

Sometimes, I feel
Sometimes, I feel,
Broken hearted, my love's departed
left here alone - is it real?

Lord it, hurts so much
Lord it, hurts so much
Deep down inside, where my feelings hide
Lord it hurts so much!

And I hear your footsteps, cross the floor
down the hallway and out the door.

This feelin' - got my soul
This feelin' - got my soul
I can't let go, If I do I know
love will take it's toll!

And I, feel the pain, feel the anger
Left alone with my doubts
Down the hallway, turn the key
Open the door - let me out!

This feelin' - got my soul
This feelin' - got control
I can't let go, If I do I know
love will take it's toll!

I Never Knew (It could be so good)
©1990, B.W. Lusk, R.Creasy

Suzi and I were lovers, sweethearts, the best of friends
From the very start, we knew what was in our heart,
and we knew how it all would end
I was exciting. She was inviting,
and I knew we'd end up more than just friends

Chorus
I never knew
I never knew
I never knew it could be - So good!

Now Suzi and I were dreamers, dreamin' 'bout a life to be
No more slippin' and slidin', no more cheatin' and hidin',
no more lookin' for a motel key
She was alluring. I was assuring
and I thought that it all could be

Chorus
I never knew
I never knew
I never knew it could be - So good!

Bridge
So Good, So Good, I never knew, So Good . . .

Suzi and I were believers, Believin' that it all could be
We knew it in our hearts, We knew it from the start,
We knew that it all would be
Our love's transcending. There is no ending,
and it serves just to set us both free

Chorus
I never knew
I never knew
I never knew it could be - So good!
I never knew
I never knew
I never knew it could be - So Good!
I never knew
I never knew
I never knew it could be - So Good!

After all of the times,

After all of the hurt,
and the nights spent alone
I said never again,
and then you came along

I've loved you forever, ever and ever
I've loved you with all of my heart
I'll need you forever, ever and ever

Too Much Time

I got a story to tell ya’,
About heartache and pain
I got a story to tell ya’,
About heartache and pain
Too Much Wine, Women and Whiskey
Too Much Time On My Hands

Too many days full of sorrow,
Too many nights, I should have ran
Too many days full of sorrow,
Too many nights I should've ran
Too Much Wine, Women and Whiskey
Too Much Time On My Hands

Now If the dealer deals a new deck,
And I got aces in my han’
And If the sun comes up tomorrow,
I'll feel like a lucky man . . . Such a lucky man . . .

Now young man heed a lesson,
From a fool while ya’ can
Now young man take my lesson,
From a fool while ya’ can
Too Much Wine, Women and Whiskey
Will steal your time . . . When they can
Too Much Wine, Women and Whiskey
Will steal your time . . . When they can
When it can . . .
