Blues Music 02:50
Blues Music ( Bob Lawyer( Chorus: Blues music can take the blues away More than what anyone can say Only the blues knows the way Blues music can take the blues away When you’re feelin’ down to the ground And not a friend can be found Switch on music with the blues sound Soon it will bring you right around (repeat chorus) If hard times come your way And it seems like they’re gonna’ stay The blues really has got something to say Helping to make it a brighter day (repeat chorus) When you feel you just can’t cope Count on the blues to give you hope It lifts you up with every bended note When you’re sinkin’ it can help you float (repeat chorus) Misery loves company When you’re feelin’ low it’s plain to see The blues can show you what a friend can be It has the power to set you free (repeat chorus) Blues music can take the blues away

Steal This Song ( Bob Lawyer) Steal this song I dare you It won’t be long ’til I sue you It’s the only way I have to profit on a song Unless you’ve had a hit the labels say so long So go ahead I dare you Steal this song so I sue you It will help me pay my rent its money better spent You can feel that it’s been gifted so I won’t be evicted Steal this song and I’ll thank you I’ll have my chance to sue you To keep the repo man away for just another day He’s coming for my car your cash will go real far So steal this song I dare you It won’t be long ’til I sue you If its up to A&R I’ll never be a star You can do your part to l help me get a start Steal this song I dare you
3.
Broker Breakdown ( Bob Lawyer) My broker is having breakdown From the financial meltdown He’s not thinking right He can’t sleep at night Tossing and turning ’til the morning light He says sell your stocks Sell your bonds Don’t buy anything short or long He pleads to me in a shaky voice Keep your money in cash it’s your only choice He used to speak calmly in a baritone Now he’s a squeaky monotone I hope he get calmed down Brings himself around With his feet planted firmly on the ground My broker is having a breakdown He’s not the only one in this town They’re all stressed out Full of doubt It’s something they can do without My broker is having a breakdown Breakdown, breakdown
4.
Lady Of My Dreams (Bob Lawyer) You’re the lady of my dreams You make me feel alright Walkin’ with you, Talkin’ with you Under the stars tonight Love to gaze in you pretty eyes And taste your lips so fine Can you see what you mean to me Will you please be mine (chorus:) ‘Cause I love you more than I can say And I will be true Won’t you meet me halfway You’re the only lady That’s been so beautifully kind I’d like it to be Just you and me And have your heart be mine (chorus here) With you here beside me We both can make your plans To walk down the trail Where love prevails Won’t you take my hand (chorus here) (end with:) With love that’s here to stay
5.
Distraction 02:07
Distraction (Bob Lawyer ) I get so shy When she gives me the eye My mind gets lost As she walks by Chorus: She’s such an attraction It drives me to distraction A natural reaction When your brain can’t get no traction She’s warm and friendly And nice to me But I get kinda’ dizzy ‘Cause I forget to breathe (repeat chorus) I get so amused It makes me confused I don’t even know What words to use (repeat chorus) Bridge: Her big blue eyes Are like a surprise When she looks at me It’s like winning a prize (repeat chorus)
6.
Supermarket Intercom (Bob Lawyer ) Chorus: I wanna’ have a song On the supermarket intercom Makin’ me money All day long With royalties paid I’d have it made Could do what I want Lounging in the shade Verses: Classic rock Can make money talk Letting it roll in Around the clock Having cash come in Would make me grin For something I did Way back when Repeat chorus If I went To the grocery store Might hear my song playin’ Walkin’ in the door With people hummin’ Along with my tune They wouldn’t even know I was in the room Repeat chorus Easy money Is what I’d say Watching it build up Every day It would be nice If it turned out this way Keeping me wealthy Till I’m old and gray Repeat chorus I’d never have worries They’d easily fade
7.
Soldier Song 03:04
Soldier Song (Bob Lawyer) He’s a soldier far from home Having to go where soldiers roam He misses his lady so far away And wishes he didn’t have to stay He remembers the sight of her long blond hair And the soft feel of her skin so fair Closing his eyes He sees her face She touches him Then they embrace At the end of a long day Knowing he’s so faraway Under the twinkling stars above He writes to tell her of his love In the stillness he thinks of the last night he saw her She held him so tight now it all seems like blur Then in his dream She’s everywhere He reaches out Then she’s not there In the early morning light Thinking of his dream that night Wondering what she’s doing that day Knowing their love is there to stay He imagines the joy of being held in her arms Then the thrill of feeling all of the warmth of her charms It won’t be long “til his time is served All he wants Is to be with her When he gets home to stay They’re going to have their wedding day They can have time to start their life It will be such a good life Living together as husband and wife.

Coffee House 02:32
Coffee House (Bob Lawyer ) I never get the blues at the coffee house It chases ‘em away like a cat and a mouse With good things to drink And time to think No, I never get the blues at the coffee house The baristas are as friendly as can be Making my favorite coffees for me They’re very well trained And never complain Refilling my cup again and again It’s a good place to spend a cloudy day My spirits get lifted when the sky is gray It eases my brain From the fast lane While I watch the rain through the window pane If they got live music The place can really hop No one there Wants it to stop I never get the blues at the coffee house It chases ‘em away like a cat and a mouse With good things to drink And time to think No, I never get the blues at the coffee house There’s a newspaper there for me to read Can catch up on the news sipping coffee or tea I can surf the net Talk with people I’ve met And make new friends I’ll never forget If they got live music The place can really hop No one there Wants it to stop I never get the blues at the coffee house It chases ‘em away like a cat and a mouse With good things to drink And time to think My cares and troubles are easily doused Cause I never get the blues at the coffee house
9.
MAN OVERBOARD (Bob Lawyer) Our love was like a schooner On a placid sea Gliding us along So carefree I was made for you You were made for me Together we shined For everyone to see The warmth of your eyes Were like a special kiss Your long hair glistened Like sparkles in the mist But suddenly you left me And ended all our bliss You tipped our boat Set everything adrift Chorus: MAN OVERBOARD In a stormy sea MAN OVERBOARD Sinkin’ down since you left me MAN OVERBOARD Can anyone see me It’s lonely as can be What made you go I had no way to know Whatever it was It never did show You’ve gone forever Didn’t see you shed a tear You left with no warning You never did hear Repeat chorus Bridge: I hope to find my way ashore Meet someone who’ll love me more Someone who will care for me And never ever let me be Repeat chorus Someone rescue me
10.
The Ring 00:51
The Ring (Bob Lawyer) She made a ring with her blond hair. It was a ring she wanted me to wear. And the ring she made with her blond hair, She put only finger right there. It was just a way to say, Just a way to show, That the ring she made with her blond hair, Was just to say she cared.
11.
She’s The Best (Bob Lawyer) She’s the best there ain’t no one better A real go-getter She’s my gal My best pal I like her style And her loving smile She’s as smart as can be It really impresses me She’s no fool Knows what’s cool Knows what to do Is never cruel When she looks at me I can plainly see In her eyes of blue Her love is true I like the cloths she wears I like her long blond hair When she walks She moves like a fox Got the perfect sway Eyes turn her way In the downtown crowd I feel proud To have them see That she’s with me If I’m ever feeling down She brings me right back around Her loving touch Says so much Takes me by the hand Always understands She’s the best there ain’t no one better There ain’t nobody better
12.
Hey Mama 02:49
Hey Momma (Bob Lawyer & Alice Olsen) Hey Momma You look so good. You heat me up Like a woman should It gets me talking It gets me gawking My heart starts pounding To see you walking Hey Momma You’re sugar sweet With just one look I overheat The clothes you wear Make me stare When you smile at me I haven’t got a prayer Hey Momma I like your style How ‘bout you stop And talk with me awhile My oh my You caught my eye You’re as sweet As cherry pie Hey Momma You’re silky smooth It’s like honey The way you move You’re quite a sight A pure delight How ‘bout the two of us Step out tonight Hey Momma You’re a luscious peach Don’t keep those good things Out of reach This ain’t no hype You’re my type Sweet and juicy Nice and ripe Hey Mama I’ll treat you right Won’t you come Home with me tonight Hey Momma Hey Momma

Fat Fish 01:44
Fat Fish (Bob Lawyer) My publisher is Fat Fish She’s a real dish She treats me good Like I knew she would She’s the one The one that could She records my songs Makes ‘em sound real strong She gets ‘em right If it takes all night When she engineers They sound real clear (Guitar) She really cares She’s beyond compare She makes me sounds the best I’m always impressed She’s my publisher I’m with the best with her She’s a delight Day or night There’s no question That she’s alright (Guitar)

Goodbye My Friend (Bob Lawyer) It’s been so good to know you And all the things we’ve shared Thinking of all we’ve been through Knowing you’ve always cared Our time went by so fast Now it’s almost gone The love that you left will last It will linger on Good Bye to you my good friend It’s sad to see you go Someday we’re gonna meet again Sooner than we know I wish the best for you And what may come your way It is really true I wish that you could stay Good bye to you my good friend It’s sad to see you go Someday we’re gonna meet again Sooner than we know (Harmonica) Good bye to you my good friend It’s sad to see you go Someday we’re gonna meet again Sooner than we know It’s been so good to know you Now that we’re near the end I will be thinking of you Good bye my friend
