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

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

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

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)

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

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
(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

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

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.

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

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
(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
