Rise Up
Written by Kevin Wilson
I’m gonna rise up, pull my baby outta bed
I’m gonna rise up, tell her everything you said
I’m gonna lay my baby down and ease her worried head
I’m gonna rise up, grab the clothes by the bed
I’m gonna rise up, do everything that they said
I’m gonna lay my body down, gonna ease my weary head
We’re gonna rise up, grab the bottle by the bed
We’re gonna rise up, hear everything each other says
Then I’m gonna lay my lady down and free her worried head
16 Days
Written by Kevin WilsonIt’s been two weeks and two days
Too long to feel this way
Four times longer than it should have been
Four more days and I’ll be gone again
16 days I don’t know what to do
16 days of waiting on you
Here I am waiting for that tide to change
A drowning man swimming in the rain
Hurricane blows over me
Eyes are stinging I can barely see
If I can find my way I’ll get to where you are
16 days from you is way too far
Another day on that road
I watch the clock, it sure ticks slow
Setting sun and the driving rain
2,000 miles on that westbound train
Too long to feel this way
It’s been two weeks and two damn days
16 days
16 days
Ohhh, oh, oh
Just too long to feel this way
16 days
Lord have mercy
Come a Little Closer
Written by Kevin WilsonCome a little closer, don’t say a word
I wanna tell you, something you’ve already heard
I wanna tell you baby, I don’t know what to do without you
Come a little closer and let me lay it all over you
Come a little closer, let me take your hand
I want to walk beside you and show them
they don’t mean a damn
I wanna tell you baby, I don’t know what to do without you
Come a little closer and let me lay it all over you
I can’t make you love me
For that you’re on your own
All that I can show you
Is that I’m flesh and bone
And you’re not alone
Come a little closer, just say good night
I wanna show you in the morning everything will be alright
I wanna tell you baby, I don’t know what to do without you
Come a little closer let me lay it all over you
Come a little closer and let me lay it all over you
Little Pieces
Written by Kevin WilsonHey bad mama with your high heel shoes
Who you going to meet?
Long dark sedan is coming for you
Rolling down the street
Once again I’m yesterday’s news
I’m feeling lonely and beat
You tear me into little pieces
Then you throw me on the ground
You tear me into little pieces
Then you spread me all around
I’ve seen you do it all before
All over this town
I don’t know why you treat me like you do
Lord it’s such a shame
I try to treat you like you want me to
There’s no one else to blame
You get in front of all my friends
Don’t even know my name
You tear me into little pieces
Then you throw me on the ground
You tear me into little pieces
Then you spread me all around
I’ve seen you do it all before
All over this town
Oh baby – you get around
Hey bad mama…
Who you going to meet?
Long dark sedan is coming for you
It’s rolling down the street
Once again I’m yesterday’s news…
You tear me into little pieces
Then you throw me on the ground
You tear me into little pieces
Then you spread me all around
I’ve seen you do it all before
All over this town
Trouble
Written by Kevin WilsonSparks fly, when I see your face
I don’t know which way to run
Hard times, come up on this place
Everything has come undone
Come on baby rescue me
Send me on my way
I may be too blind to see but
The truth is on your face
I feel trouble, when you look my way
I feel the shaking in my bones
I know, that I’m in too deep
I think I’m already gone
Come on baby rescue me
Send me on my way
I may be too blind to see but
The truth is on your face
Sparks fly, when you’re in the room
I think I had better run
Morning’s coming, way too soon
But I may never see the sun
Come on baby rescue me
Send me on my way
I may be too blind to see but
The truth is on your face

I'm a Criminal
Written by Paul ReddickI’m a crim’nal
Set to swipe and steal
I’m a crim’nal
Set to Swipe and steal
I’m a master mis-appropriator
I dig the dirty deal
Oh I’m a crim’nal
I feed on forbidden fruit
I’m a crim’nal
Feed on forbidden fruit
I’m a second story sire
I live to lift and loot
Missin’ tomorrow mornin’
Dodging down the day
Dreamin’ ‘bout the evenin’
Soon I speed away
I’m a crim’nal
I choose love then I cheat
I’m a crim’nal
I choose love then I cheat
A derelict on duty
Rip-off written over cheat
What More
Written by Kevin WilsonI’ve been workin’, hard all day
To bring home a fistful of dollars for pay
I’ve been listnin’, for the five o’clock bell
To head to the beer bar to raise some hell
Tell me what more could a man want to do with his life
I’ve been sweatin’, ‘neath the heat of these lights
Singin’ for the crowd tryin’ to make them feel right
I’ve been playin’, ev’rything that I know
To make them dance and enjoy the show
Tell me what more could a man want to do with his night
I’ve been burnin’, the candle to hell
I think I need to take a break for a spell
I’ll head down south, get a room with a view
Sit by the Gulf and drink a few brews
Tell me what more could a man want to do with his life
The Hell You Say
Written by Kevin WilsonOhhh, Come on over here baby
Yeah, and take my hand
Let’s get on up
On that floor and dance
You say “No, no, no”
You’re too afraid
You say you just can’t do it
Ah the hell you say
The way you walk
Mmmm, It drives me insane…… yes it does
You say you don’t want to talk?
Come on baby, say my name
The way you move and groove it tells me you’ll be OK
You say “No, no, no”
You’re too afraid
You say you just can’t do it
Ah the hell you say
I say come on over here let’s get out on the floor
Don’t you run away, toward that door
You say you got a man, and he’s watching you
I say “What the hell is he gonna do? Huh?”
Now listen here girl…
You got one last chance
To take my hand
If you’re not up to it
Go on home to your man
You say “No, no, no”
You’re not afraid
You say you can do it
Ah the hell you say
Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers
Written by ZZ TopAn’ if you see me walkin' down the line
With my favorite honky tonk in mind,
Well I'll be here around suppertime
With my can of dinner and a bunch of fine
Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah
Uh-huh, baby don't you wanna come with me?
The crowd gets loud when the band gets right
Steel guitar cryin' through the night,
Yeah, tryin’ to cover up the corner fight
But everything's cool 'cause they's just tight
Beer drinkers, hell raisers, yeah
Uh-huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?
Ah, play it boy.
The joint was jumpin' like a cat on hot tin
Lord, I thought the floor was gonna give in,
Soundin' a lot like a House Congressional
'Cause we're experimental and professional
Beer drinkers, hell raisers, yeah
Well, baby don't you wanna come with me?
