We all have that little voice in our heads,
which tells us what to do. That little well inside from which we can fill
our cup. This song is about that Sweet Place. This was the first song for
which I won me an award.

Sweet Place
©Luke Warmwater 1995
Gotta get back to that Sweet
Place
That place that I call home
Where the air is filled
with sweet and gentle grace
And you never feel all alone
And when you close your
eyes
You're sittin on a front
porch swing
So let me take you to that
sweet place
That place that you can
call your own
Where the rain'll wash away
your worries and haste
And your thoughts are always
free to roam
Oh baby can't you hear the
wagon comin
Don't you miss it when it
comes by for you
Instrumental break
And the river keeps rollin
on by
And it's singin , and the
early mornin church bells ring
Someday child, you'll find
your own sweet space
Take it with you everywhere
you go
Wake up early , time's too
good to waste
Don't hurry nothin. Take
it slow
And wherever you may be
Try to sail upon a peaceful
sea.
Yeah, wherever you may be
Try to sail upon a peaceful
sea.
Instrumental. That
means NO WORDS
This is in the Venus and Mars category. It is said that after a date,
women will go home and start planning the wedding, how many kids they'll
have and where they'll live. Men can't understand this. Men will go home
after a date and wonder when their car is due for it's next oil change.
Women can't understand this. This song was taken right out of the personals.
You guess which column.

Me Too
© Copyright 1995 Luke warmwater
Would you like someone to
sway with
When the band plays your
favorite song
Would you like somebody
to play with
And to hold you all night
long
To share the thrills the
highs and lows
And trust telling all your
secrets to
Well, honey me too.
Would you like a lover who
won't leave 'ya
Every time you turn around
Somebody to come and....
claim 'ya
When your soul's in the
lost and found
Someone who wants to pick
you up
'Stead of kickin you when
you're down
Well, honey me too.
Don't you want someone to
just hold ya
.....And make all your dreams
come true
Somebody to always be there.....
for ya
.......No matter what you
do
Someone to make you feel
better
When you're down and feelin
oh so blue
Well, Honey me too.
Yeah, Honey me too.
You say you want a friend
you can trust
When you're sad and you
wanna cry
Someone who likes you just
the way you are
Doesn't want to change you
and always ask you why
Someone who shares their
zest for life
Whose warmth and passion
will make you sigh
Well, Honey so do I
Yeah, what you want now baby, Me too.
And you know you deserve
it. Me too.
This is a pick up song. ...That is, It picks me up when I'm feeling
low. Try it for yourself.

Woke up this mornin gonna

An' I swear I'll find
a way to lighten up my load
Woke up this mornin gonna
take my chances. Oh, Yeah, gonna take my chances
Woke up this mornin said
I'll take my chances. Oh, take my chances
Woke up this mornin I'll
be takin my chances. Oh, Yeah, gonna take my chances
Woke up this mornin said
I'll take my chances. Oh, take my chances
Gonna pack up my bags
and head on down
That less traveled road
Won't need no road map
I'll just follow my heart
Ain' t no such thing
as laughin too loud
Woke up this mornin gonna
start all over. Oh, Yeah, gonna start all over
Woke up this mornin said
I'm startin all over. Oh, start all over
Woke up this mornin I'm
startin all over. Oh, Yeah, gonna start all over
Woke up this mornin said
I'm startin all over. Oh, start all over
Gonna saddle up my dreams
and ride them
If that damn horse throws
me I'll get right back on
Always try to do what's
right, sometimes I'm wrong
Worry sure can make a
damn hard pillow
Woke up this mornin gonna
save my soul. Oh, Yeah, gonna save my soul
Woke up this mornin gonna
save my soul. Oh, save my soul
Even when things go all wrong ...It's all right.
It's the little things in life that are your life.

Down on my luck
©Luke Warmwater
1995
Well I'm down on my luck,
Ain't got a buck.
Gettin' real cold outside
and I'm driftin.
And I'm meanin to say I
got the wrong time of day -all day.
I get the blues and I lose
but sometimes I win.
Woke up this mornin, made
me some coffee,
Poured milk on my cornflakes,
I had no one to talk to.
Turned on the radio. Listened
to the weatherman sayin
Not a cloud in the sky,
but it's lookin like rain
And I'm meanin to say I got
the wrong time of day -all day.
I get the blues and I lose
but sometimes I win.
Sittin in my easy chair,
starin up at them four walls around me
I look up at the pictures
hangin on the walls of the ones I love.
Sometimes I feel like cryin,
sometimes I just feel like dyin.
Then I see them smilin faces
and I know it's all right.
And I'm meanin to say I got
the wrong time of day -all day.
I get the blues and I lose
but sometimes I win.
Last week I caught a cold,
Next week I'll catch a bus.
Funny how sometimes I catch
myself thinkin 'bout the two of us.
Sometimes it seems so hard
to turn a frown into a smile
'Specially when you ain't
heard a good joke in a long time.
But I'm meanin to say I got
the wrong time of day -all day.
I get the blues and I lose
but sometimes I win.
The Blues ain't nothin but a good man feelin bad.
Pay attention to the last line.

Sittin at a Stop Sign
Luke Warmwater
I WAS SITTIN AT A STOP SIGN BABY
WAITIN FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE
YEAH, I WAS SITTIN AT A STOP SIGN BABY,
YES I WAS
WAITIN FOR THAT LIGHT TO CHANGE
THINKIN 'BOUT YOU
THINKIN ABOUT YOU
I WAS ‘BOUT FIFTY MILES out OF MEMPHIS
AND ROLLIN
ROLLIN ON DOWN THE LINE
THEN I WAS PASSIN THROUGH NASHVILLE AND
ROLLIN
COULDN’T GET YOU OFF MY MIND
THINKIN 'BOUT YOU
THINKIN ABOUT YOU
WELL I HAD MY LEFT TURN BLINKER ON FOR
ALMOST TWENTY COUNTY LINES
FOURTEEN RIVERS, SIX TRUCK STOPS, TWO
SPEED TRAPS, ONE PIT STOP,
I DID NOT WANNA SLOW DOWN
THINKIN 'BOUT YOU. THAT’S RIGHT BABY,
I WAS THINKIN ABOUT YOU
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
ONCE AGAIN I'M SITTIN AT A STOP SIGN BABY
WAITIN FOR A LIGHT TO CHANGE
I'M SITTIN AT A STOP SIGN IN MIAMI, THE
GUY BEHIND ME THINKS I'M AN IDIOT
YOU KNOW I'VE COME A LONG, LONG WAY
THINKIN 'BOUT YOU
THINKIN ABOUT YOU
[STOP]
CAN'T WAIT TIL YOU GET THIS POSTCARD, BABY
AND I'M STILL NOT FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM
YOU!
This is a trademark "Luke Warmwater" song. If you don't laugh at this
one, you're taking yourself too
seriously. Kind of a funny love song in a twisted kind of way.

Just a Man
© Dennis Woracheck -1995
Bound by time, Bound by
money,
Drivin me crazy. Can't
you see that honey
A man is just a man and
there's a lot he's gotta do
Workin for a livin and
livin for you
Well my hands do all the
work and my brain does all the thinkin
My feet do all the dancin
and my lips do all the drinkin
When I'm holding you,
there's many things I'd like to say
But my heart jumps in
my throat and my damn tongue gets in the way
Bound by time, Bound by
money,
Drivin me crazy. Can't
you see that honey
A man is just a man and
there's a lot he's gotta do
Workin for a livin and
livin for you
Well I know it ain't much
but the best I can do
Is to offer up my time
and all my lovin to you
As long as grass is green
and stars are shinin in the sky
Or at least until next
week you'll be the apple of my eye
Bound by time, Bound by
money,
Drivin me crazy. Can't
you see that honey
A man is just a man and
there's a lot he's gotta do
Workin for a livin and
livin for you
If a house and fancy car
and money's all you wanna see
You might as well just
read a book, forget about me
For I am just a common
man, I'll tell you no lies
But if you fall in love
with me, we'll take the blue-ribbon prize
Bound by time, Bound by
money,
Drivin me crazy. Can't
you see that honey
A man is just a man and
there's a lot he's gotta do
Workin for a livin and
livin for you
We've all had that "magic moment" with a partner, when some silly little
thing happens and you each realize this is the one.

Moon Pie Eyes
Eagles were flyin around
in the sky
Love was shinin down in
our eyes
We were makin our own nest
n don't you know
We see a lot further the
higher we go
She's in Nebraska dreamin
about me
Here I sit braggin bout
her in a song
I still remember the first
time we met
We stared at each other
just a little too long
I'm findin treasures inside
of me
Every time I'm spoonin with
my baby
She keeps a few secrets
inside her head
Made my day when she made
me some bread
My baby's got moon-pie eyes
and she don't like raisins
moon-pie eyes and she don't
like raisins
She's got moon-pie eyes and
she don't like raisins
Moon-pie eyes and she don't
like raisins
Seems that the more things
change the more they remain the same. This song is about the thrill of
owning
your first car. It might
have been written in the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's or even today. And who
knows,
maybe some of us are here
as the result of something that happened in the back seat of their parents'
Mercury.

Car O' Lordy
©Luke Warmwater 1995
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Prettiest car in town
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Now I'll get around
She got four on the floor
and there's juice in that goose
Got a fine set of tunes
and a ragtop to boot
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Prettiest car in town
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Prettiest car in town
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Now I'll get around
Well she's all shined up
and lookin good
Got a brand new Blue Flame
under the hood
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Prettiest car in town
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Prettiest car in town
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Now I'll get around
Gonna pick up my baby, burn
rubber down the street
See if she wants to tumble
in the rumble seat
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Prettiest car in town
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Prettiest car in town
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Now I'll get around
Goes zero to sixty in nothin
flat
When you see me flyin by,
ya better tip your hat
Just Bought a car O' Lordy.
Prettiest car in town
OK. Seems like everyone has a "Angel" song. So, I wanted one too!

Love in My House
©Luke
Warmwater 1995
Today, there is love in
my house.
An angel came and put
a song in my heart
Today, there is music
and love.
Love is a song.
I'll sing it for you.
I sing it for us.
It is sung by the angels.
......I've heard you
sing it too.
My angel sings it to
me when she touches my life.
My angel puts a smile
on my heart.
Now, there is a song
all around me.
I'm singing that song,
that sweet sweet song.
And I will sing it for
a very long time.
I 'm hypnotized by the
harmony of it.
Mesmerized at the memories,
too.
........A partner to
sing with.
That angel is you.
Some dreams are forgotten
as each day I rise.
Some dreams I hold onto
like sweet by and by's.
Tho' weary and dreary
as some days can be.
I smile a mile wide,
angels sing it for me.
This is as classic a broken-hearted song as you can get.

Cry Me A River
Dennis Woracheck 1993
Sometimes there's dirt on
my hands
Sometimes there's sweat
down my neck
Sometimes I've got to fight
back my tears
Sometimes I cry me a river
Hopin that you'll come back
Sometimes I'm down on my
knees
Sometimes I'm askin some
sweet Honey, "Please"
Better times a comin I just
don't know when
Sometimes I cry me a river
Hopin that you'll come back
I fly around in circles like
a bird with a broken wing
Fallin fast without a chute,
can somebody tell me how to pull this string
Heart's ridin on a runaway
train. How the hell do you stop this thing?
Sometimes I cry me a river
Hopin that you'll come back
Wishin you'll come back
Instrumental Break
Gotta get a little taste
of soul 'n
Put it in my Rock and Roll
It's a hard time hurtin,
yeah, but I'll get through it
All I got to do is to wake
up and do it
Dry my tears, put on a smile
But Honey, in the meanwhile
Sometimes I will cry me
a river
Hopin that you'll come back
Honey, please come back
Wishin you'll come back
