OLD SOUTHERN SOUL Just sipping on Apple whiskey tripping on memories deep inside. Bittersweet redemption from another place and time. Shooting two for one on Wednesday and by Thursday I’ll be fine. Good for the soul, good for the peace of mind. One for my soul, one more for peace of mind I got laid back, homegrown, California style With a restless, yearning, burning desire To be moving on before I’m long gone and I can hear the bayou calling me Can taste that wild honey in the breeze CHORUS Guess I’m an old Southern Soul Cause I feel it’s time to roll Gotta let those back roads take me home Have a little mercy on my old Southern soul. Have a little mercy I’ve been known to tie one on with outlaws on the run But you can’t tame a rebel heart that’s only out for fun. Just blame my old friend, Number 7, for fueling up my spite It’s Mr. Beam that takes me home tonight . On a rolling southbound to the wild side CHORUS Guess I’m an old Southern Soul Cause I feel it’s time to roll Gotta let those back roads take me home Have a little mercy on my old Southern soul. Have a little mercy Whoa feel that thunder roll Mountain moonlight shines like gold Where that firewater flows I was resting peacefully, underneath the shade. Buried with my Rock & Rye and loaded 38 Could have been Bonnie, could have been Clyde Could have been wanted more dead than alive And I’m coming back to raise some hell tonight Gonna get a little crazy up that Bourbon Trail tonight CHORUS Yes, I’m an old Southern soul And I feel it’s time to roll Gotta let those back roads take me home Have a little mercy on my old Southern soul Gotta let those back roads take control Have a little mercy on my old southern soul Have a little mercy c. 2017 KMMusic Enterprises

HOME SWEET HOME It’s been a long day, gonna get my groove on It’s Friday night and I just got back in town Gonna be hanging out with all my people And if the morning shouldn’t come I won’t worry now I won’t worry now I’m taking this party to go Just in case I’m needing some of that Home Sweet Home CHORUS Everybody have a good time Feed your hungry soul something bad to the bone And shake it like it was your last night Everybody have a good time Feed your hungry soul something wild off the bone To savor on, in case I’m craving some Home Sweet Home Whoa some of that Home Sweet Home I like the sunshine on Sunday afternoon Along with the music that moves me inside out So grab some old shoes, gonna drink some cold brews Sling a shot or two, gonna light this place up.. gonna light this place up I’m taking this party to go Just in case I’m needing some of that Home Sweet Home CHORUS Everybody have a good time Feed your hungry soul something bad to the bone And shake it like it was your last night Everybody have a good time Feed your hungry soul something wild off the bone To savor on, in case I’m craving some Home Sweet Home Whoa some of that Home Sweet Home Gonna take this party to go wherever I roam just in case I’m needing some Home Sweet Home Everybody have a good time. Everybody have a good time And party like it was your last night. Everybody have a good time Feed your hungry soul something bad to the bone and shake it till you just can’t shake it no more. Until you just can’t take it no more To savor on, in case I’m craving some Home Sweet Home. c.2017 KMMusic Enterprises

Country Girl 03:47
COUNTRY GIRL I was born on a Southbound Greyhound bus Didn’t need much money, lovin’ was plenty for us Got my Mama’s drawl, my Daddy’s rebel yell, I’m half Outlaw half Southern Belle Just a country girl at heart if you can’t tell That Southern charm and comforts calling me back And I like to get un-ladylike on Jack Steal the night away in Charlotte You be Rhett and I’ll be Scarlett A Southern girl knows how to get the party started CHORUS Take me down I’m Smokey Mountain bound Take me down that ol’ Blue Ridge Road Where the willow know me well In the hollow raising hell Just a country girl at heart if you can’t tell Where bless her little ol’ heart ain’t what it seems And a bathtub full of gin will keep you squeaky clean We bleed firewater where I come from That triple proof homemade rum I’m a backwoods daughter and I roll with a shotgun CHORUS Take me down I’m Smokey Mountain bound Take me down that ol’ Blue Ridge Road Where the willow know me well In the hollow raising hell Just a country girl at heart if you can’t tell That Southern freight train she’s singing my song The one that’s going, come on girl get on back home Bout sweet as Sugar Maple and homemade brew But stings ya like a bee on that Mountain Dew I like good ol’ boys, pick-up trucks Bare-footing, home-cooking, down-home love Just some of things country girls are made of CHORUS Take me down I’m Smokey Mountain bound Take me down that ol’ Blue Ridge Road Where the willow weep for me and kin folks all you need Just a country girl at heart if you can’t see Where the willow know me well in the hollow raising hell Just a country girl at heart if you can’t tell c.2017 KMMusic Enterprises

I Stayed 04:00
I STAYED I’ve been down a lonely troubled road So unfamiliar, one I’ve never known I’ve been beat, but not like this before You say it’s unintentional, then don’t do it anymore Not one more time or one more sleepless night Will I be all alone? A Young and widowed wife. And will I survive another runaway ride They’ll have to tie me down, I’ll be losing my mind. CHORUS I can’t take it, no, not one more day If I only knew what you’d put me through I would have ran away And I would have let go Baby I should have let go, But I Stayed. I’ve been dealt a fully loaded hand So unpredictable, thought we had it all And now I’m questioning all of that Baby I see right through how you played me your fool But I’m burning out on learning all about this side of you. CHORUS I can’t take it, no, not one more day If I only knew what you’d put me through I would have ran away And I would have let go Baby I should have let go, But I Stayed. If I stay till the end of time Till the stars stop their twinkling and that sun, that sun just won’t shine If I stay then I pray, I’m down on my knees Lord, please take this pain away. ....I’ll be losing my mind CHORUS I can’t take it, no, not one more day If I only knew what you’d put me through I would have ran away And I would have let go Baby I should have let go, But I Stayed. Now what’s that say? I would have let go, but I couldn’t let go And I stayed. c.2017 KMMusic Enterprises

THAT KIND OF LOVE A beautiful home with a pool and a wishing well A breathtaking view of my own private hell This beautiful dream that I couldn’t keep Became the nightmare that I couldn’t wait to leave Why oh why didn’t I listen to Mama’s objections? My oh my this is not what I was expecting Now I know why she couldn’t hold her peace I’ve seen the things she didn’t want me to see CHORUS I don’t need that kind of love I need a “let me be” kind of love A “so I can breathe” kind of love I need a “soul shaking free” kind of love My memories are more bitter than sweet Like a tidal wave, you swept me off my feet But your heavy load has taken a toll on me Now I’m drowning in your sea of misery Why oh why didn’t I listen to Mama cry? She said, I don’t know baby, something here ain’t right Now I know why she couldn’t hold her peace I’ve seen the things she seemed to know I’d see CHORUS I don’t need that kind of love I need a “let me be” kind of love A “so I can breathe” kind of love I need a “soul shaking free” kind of love All I need is not to need you I need room to breathe and a room with a view My troubled paradise, not quite the fairy-tale Just a heartache that my heart knows all too well And this life of luxury, an ill-fated fantasy This is not the way that loves supposed to be Now I’m singing the blues I never knew I could sing CHORUS I don’t need that kind of love I need a “let me be” kind of love A “so I can breathe” kind of love I need a “soul shaking free” kind of love I mean a hot as can be kind of love A burning third degree kind of love I need a soul shaking free kind of love A soul shaking free, a hot as can be, burning third degree, really-good for me, A soul shaking free kind of love c.2017 KMMusic Enterprises
