Southern Moon by Derek Hoke
Long is the green grass
Tall are the pines
How I miss the way you feel
In these arms of mine
Gotta let you know
Don't want to let you go
Sweet is the honey
Soft is the rain
Can you hear me calling
Calling out your name
Gotta let you know
Don't want to let you go
[Chorus:]
I need some cool, cool water
And some warm sunshine
Give me your lightning in a bottle
And some homemade wine
I'd take that long road to Memphis
If it brings me back to you
So shine on, southern moon
Deep is the river
And lonely are the nights
I can't have you with me
I need you by my side
Gotta let you know
I'll never let you go
[Chorus x2]

Bonnie & Clyde © Hal Brolund 2012
I like it when we're driving with the top let down
All the wind in our hair, blowing all around
Living on the edge, reckless and wild
We'll run from the law like Bonnie & Clyde
We'll take it to a hundred at the quarter mile
Run like the devil for the county line
Outlaws of love is the game we'll play
And they're not gonna catch us today
We're Bonnie & Clyde
The old folks say “it just ain't right.
That boys a little reckless, the girls a little wild”
They don't understand Bonnie & Clyde
Outlaws of love we're the luckiest kind
I know what you're thinking about that night
Those two met their end in a hell of fight
Livin' fast and free has got it's price
But let me tell you honey it's a hell of a ride
When you're Bonnie & Clyde
If I had to steal one kiss
I would want it just like this
Soft and wet, reckless and wild
Like Bonnie & Clyde
I like it when we're driving with the top let down
All the wind in our hair, blowing all around
Living on the edge, reckless and wild
We'll run from the law like Bonnie & Clyde
We'll take it to a hundred at the quarter mile
Run like the devil for the county line
Outlaws of love is the game we'll play
And they're not gonna catch us today
We're Bonnie & Clyde
We're Bonnie & Clyde
We're Bonnie & Clyde
We're Bonnie & Clyde

All Around The World © Hal Brolund 2010
I've been all around the world looking for you (2x)
I've been all around the world, looking for the pretty girl
I've been all around the World looking for you.
I know all the roads from here to china (2x)
I know all the roads, I've been carrying such a heavy load
I've been all around the world looking for you
Since you left me baby I've been broken down and blue (2x)
Since you went away there's not a damn thing left to say
I've been all around the world looking for you
solo
Every woman I meet looks just like you (2x)
I get me a voodoo priest if that devil will set me free
I've been all around the world looking for you

Learned Pigs And Fireproof Women © Hal Brolund (SOCAN) 2011
When the carnival came to this rural town
Every fool wants to lay his money down
We got a ferris wheel, games of chance
A tunnel of love for pure romance
Men will believe in what they see
If you put it on a poster, they will believe
Everybody wants to hear the bearded lady sing
This side show has everything (We got)
(chorus)
Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women
Everybody'd pay a dollar to see em'
We got a piece of the one true cross
We got the bones of the union boss
Jakeleg Chester and Bootleg Sam
Were working at the carnival and they had a plan
Saturday night when the tent was full
They were gonna rob this carnival
They would grab the cash and jump the train
Never come back to this town again
Hide in the bushes until they hear the bell
Grab the cash and run like hell (from the)
(Chorus)
The bearded lady was still singing her song
When the Mississippi freight train came along
Jakeleg Chester grabbed the cash and ran
As Bootleg held a gun on the ticket man
They ran for the tracks but they missed the rail
And the dog faced boy was still chasing his tail
Stash the cash, or pay the cost
They hid it with the bones of the union boss
They never found the money and I know it's a fact
They took those boys away and they ain't coming back
They sheriff came around looking for the dough
I hid it down in my bed roll
And I left that town without thinking twice
I got my own way to paradise
I bought myself a truck, a small side show
and every single summer well I hit the road (with my)

Daylight © Hal Brolund (SOCAN) 2012
This is for those who've lost their way
A simple lyric for those lost in the fray
Daylights coming, it's gonna be a brand new day
You've got to hold onto to hope, hold onto joy
Grab that feeling like a child grabs a brand new toy
Daylights coming, it's gonna be a brand new day
They say the nights always darkest just before the dawn
And that pale moonlight will soon be gone
But you can make it through the night
It's just a little while before daylight
So this is for those who need a little bit of light
And for those who need help in the middle of the night
Daylights coming, it's gonna be alright
Daylights coming, it's gonna be alright
Daylights coming, it's gonna be alright

Ten Bucks Too Light © Hal Brolund 2010
My heart races forward like a greyhound bus
one foot on the gas and the other on the clutch
I'm always too quick to change the gears
a shot rings out in the cold dark night
a street race running for the bragging rights
and I'm always too quick to change the gears
Midnight calls to the highwayman
Diesel fuel for that one night stand
Ten Bucks Too Light to make it home
Give me one more mile before my engines blown
One more truck stop, another time zone
Ten Bucks Too Light to make it home
Night falls down like a wedding gown
an early winter blanket on this prairie town
I'm always too quick to change the gears
headlights glare under a blood red moon
with any luck it's gonna be dawn soon
I'm always too quick to change the gears
(Bridge)
I'm stuck behind a semi to the double lane
wishing I could make it home again
my heart races forward in the passing lane
