Lyrics to songs written by Justin Curtis

Charlie
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Charlie was a farmer he worked in a northern land
He was as stubborn as his livestock and as tough as his callused hands
A carpenter and a welder a mechanic and blacksmith, too
A Jack-of-all-trades he just did what he had to

AND THE WIND BLOWS COLD ON THE LONESOME PRAIRIE
HEAR IT CALLING OUT HIS NAME
HE FOUGHT THE FROST, THE DROUGHTS AND DAISIES
HE FOUGHT A WIND HE COULD NOT TAME

He took pictures and made movies when he had time to play
He loved guitar and the fiddle and he learned to fly a plane
With his own wheat some rotting fruit and too much idle time
He taught me and my friends about a mean brew we called Grampa's wine

AND THE WIND BLOWS COLD ON THE LONESOME PRAIRIE
HEAR IT CALLING OUT HIS NAME
HE FOUGHT THROUGH HAIL, THROUGH DUST AND DAISIES
HE FOUGHT A WIND HE COULD NOT TAME

He saw a lot of things come and go in his eighty-six years of living
Horse drawn carts and diesel trucks he saw the taking and the giving
He told me once he could offer only one small piece of advice
He said "Don't go into farming if you're looking for an easy life"

AND THE WIND BLOWS COLD ON THE LONESOME PRAIRIE
HEAR IT CALLING OUT HIS NAME
HE FOUGHT THE FROST, THE DROUGHTS AND DAISIES
HE FOUGHT A WIND HE COULD NOT TAME

He farmed as long as he could 'til arthritis got him down
Then he auctioned off the tractor and bought a place in town
He told me jokes and he told me stories and tales of his hard work
I knew by the fire in his eyes that he loved that black land dirt

AND THE WIND BLOWS COLD ON THE LONESOME PRAIRIE
HEAR IT CALLING OUT HIS NAME
HE FOUGHT THE FROST, THE DROUGHTS AND DAISIES
HE FOUGHT A WIND HE COULD NOT TAME

AND THE WIND BLOWS COLD ON THE LONESOME PRAIRIE
HEAR IT CALLING OUT HIS NAME
HE FOUGHT THE FROST, THE DROUGHTS AND DAISIES
WITH A SPIRIT YOU COULD NOT TAME

Charlie was a farmer he worked in a northern land
He was as stubborn as his livestock and as tough as his callused hands

For The Dreamers
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Take a walk down by the river stop and kiss in the moonlight
Midnight swim with one another a million stars fill the night
Taste the breath on your lover's lips feel the passion in your soul
It's a deep and true connection feels so right to lose control

BUT YOU SAY THAT'S FOR THE DREAMERS
AND YOU'LL BE NOBODY'S FOOL
YOU CAN BET LOVE'S FOR THE DREAMERS
IT'S LOVE THAT MAKES THE DREAMS COME TRUE

Sitting close by an old wood stove softly whisper holding hands
Just watching the snow fall as you build a sweet romance
There's no fear of the winter wind though it might chill the fire
It's no match for the inner blaze created by your heart's desire

BUT YOU SAY THAT'S FOR THE DREAMERS
AND YOU'LL BE NOBODY'S FOOL
YOU CAN BET LOVE'S FOR THE DREAMERS
IT'S LOVE THAT MAKES THE DREAMS COME TRUE

Now it's really very simple close your eyes and you will see
The magic right there waiting for your faith to set it free
Forget all that you learned before forget the heartache and the pain
Let me take you where you want to go and life will never be the same

YES 'CAUSE LOVE IS FOR THE DREAMERS
WHEN YOU DO WHAT LOVER'S DO
YOU CAN BET LOVE'S FOR THE DREAMERS
IT'S LOVE THAT MAKES THE DREAMS COME TRUE

Just Tell Me Why
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Why do you leave me all alone
When I come to pick you up you're always gone
And you never answer your telephone
Tell me why

What am I doing wrong can I make it right
Is there a song I could sing for you tonight
If there isn't
Just tell me why

I saved my money and bought a cool car
I give you rides and play my guitar
But I can't even get a smile so far
Tell me why

Is your love impossible to obtain
Is my love madness is it insane
If it is
Just tell me why

Now I'm as blue as your eyes
And that should come as no surprise
'Cause you're always with some other guy
Tell me why

You know I've been true, I've told no lies
Sent cards and letters, got no replies
All I ask
Just tell me why

Why do you leave me all alone
When I come to pick you up you're always gone
And you never answer your telephone
Tell me why

Midnight In Jackson
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Midnight in Jackson, T.V. is my friend
Well there ain't nothing happenin' as I watch the day begin
And I ain't looking forward to the dawn
'Cause it ain't got nothing for me
Well I don't know what went wrong
I left you so I could be free

It doesn't really matter, no one really cares
But I, I think of laughter and what we had to share
Well now they say you can't go home
So you won't find me at your door
Well, yes, I'm still alone
But I won't bother you no more

BUT I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU
I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU
YES I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU-OU OH OH OH
I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU

So call me a dreamer, a dreamer I may be
For I'm a believer never to be free
Chained by my ambitions
Imprisoned by my goals
Blinded by my visions
I can't see the right road

BUT I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU
I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU
YES I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU-OU OH OH OH
I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU

YES I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU
I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU
YES I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU-OU OH OH OH
I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU

YES I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU-OU OH OH OH
I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU

Not Tonight
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Another night like the night before
Don't know if I can take one more
Light a cigarette and pour a drink
You know it's hard to forget when you got time to think

Got dirty dishes in my sink again
Been there since I don't know when
Suffering from a bad economy
But I've got plans for a better me

YEAH, SOMEDAY I'M GONNA BE SOMEONE
SOMEDAY I'LL BE ALRIGHT
SOMEDAY I'M GONNA HAVE SOME FUN
BUT BABY NOT TONIGHT, NO DARLING NOT TONIGHT

Boss said, "Son, gotta let you go
Business lately's been kinda slow"
The money I had's already spent
So I write a bad check to pay my rent

AH, BUT SOMEDAY I'M GONNA BE SOMEBODY
SOMEDAY I'LL BE ALRIGHT
SOMEDAY I'M GONNA HAVE SOME MONEY
BUT BABY NOT TONIGHT, NO DARLING NOT TONIGHT

Late at night when they close the bars
I watch the sky and count the stars
A cold wind blows so I turn my back
And I dream I'm riding in a Cadillac

THINKING SOMEDAY I'M GONNA BE SOMEONE
SOMEDAY I'LL BE ALRIGHT
SOMEDAY I'M GONNA HAVE SOME FUN
BUT BABY NOT TONIGHT, NO DARLING NOT TONIGHT

YEAH, SOMEDAY I'M GONNA BE SOMEBODY
SOMEDAY I'LL BE ALRIGHT
SOMEDAY THIS WHOLE THING WILL ALL SOUND FUNNY
BUT BABY NOT TONIGHT, NO DARLING NOT TONIGHT

Nothing Lasts Forever
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

I'm sorry for the dreams that didn't come true
I know you believed but believe me I did too
Life don't always go the way that you plan
Please forgive me I'm just a man left with nothing

It's your smile that used to light my life
Now it's your tongue that cuts just like a knife
You cut through the flesh right down to the bone
Cut out my heart and left me alone with nothing

THEY SAY NOTHING LASTS FOREVER AND I GUESS THEY'RE RIGHT
AS I SIT HERE ALONE WITH NOTHING NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

We all know the need for a lover's touch
Simple desire is sometimes just too much
As this love story comes to an end
We find ourselves alone again with nothing

THEY SAY NOTHING LASTS FOREVER AND I GUESS THEY'RE RIGHT
AS I SIT HERE ALONE WITH NOTHING NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

You walk by and I still feel the heat
The fire you started long ago burns deep
The pleasure must be worth the pain
'Cause if you'd ask I'd do it all again for nothing

THEY SAY NOTHING LASTS FOREVER AND I GUESS THEY'RE RIGHT
AS I SIT HERE ALONE WITH NOTHING NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

Nothing To Do
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

WELL THERE'S NOTHING TO DO ON FRIDAY NIGHT
NOTHING TO DO ON SATURDAY NIGHT
NOTHING TO DO, WELL THERE'S LOTS TO DO
BUT WITHOUT YOU, IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT

Well going to a movie was something I liked to do
But it ain't no fun to go without you
A walk in the park would make me feel alone
So I guess tonight I'll just stay home

'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING TO DO ON FRIDAY NIGHT
NOTHING TO DO ON SATURDAY NIGHT
NOTHING TO DO, WELL THERE'S LOTS TO DO
BUT WITHOUT YOU, IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT

I used to like to see a rock & roll band
But when I hear the music I wanna hold your hand
So I'll sit in my room and I'll play some solitaire
And I'll stare at the walls and wonder if you care

THAT THERE'S NOTHING TO DO ON FRIDAY NIGHT
NOTHING TO DO ON SATURDAY NIGHT
NOTHING TO DO, WELL THERE'S LOTS TO DO
BUT WITHOUT YOU, IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT

Now there's happy couples everywhere on those television shows
And nothing but love songs on my old radio, oh, oh,
Why did you go?

NOW THERE'S NOTHING TO DO ON FRIDAY NIGHT
NOTHING TO DO ON SATURDAY NIGHT
NOTHING TO DO, WELL THERE'S LOTS TO DO
BUT WITHOUT YOU, IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT

NO THERE'S NOTHING TO DO ON FRIDAY NIGHT
NOTHING TO DO ON SATURDAY NIGHT
NOTHING TO DO, WELL THERE'S LOTS TO DO
BUT WITHOUT YOU, IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT

No there's nothing to do without you and it just ain't right

Perfect Friend
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

So this is how it ends you've got nothing to say
You just turn your back and walk away
On the nine years we spent together being friends
I guess it comes as no surprise
'Cause I never measured up in your eyes
You've got your rules and standards you don't bend

So maybe I'm the one to blame
For the cloudy skies and the pourin' rain
And maybe you're too perfect to make mistakes
But I swallowed my pride and said I was sorry
And tried to believe your side of the story
I did what I could but I don't know what it takes

BUT I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOUR PERFECT LIFE
AND I HOPE YOU FIND YOURSELF A PERFECT HOME
AND I HOPE I CROSS YOUR MIND
FARTHER DOWN THE LINE
AS YOU'RE WALKING DOWN THAT HIGHWAY ALL ALONE

Yeah we had some laughs and we drank some beer
We shared each other's hopes and fears
And we traveled ten thousand miles together
Remember the night we went bar to bar
And we got so drunk we lost the car
Well I guess I thought you and I would last forever

BUT I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOUR PERFECT LIFE
AND I HOPE YOU FIND YOURSELF A PERFECT HOME
AND I HOPE I CROSS YOUR MIND
FARTHER DOWN THE LINE
AS YOU'RE WALKING DOWN THAT HIGHWAY ALL ALONE

YES I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOUR PERFECT LIFE
AND I HOPE YOU FIND YOURSELF A PERFECT HOME
AND I HOPE I CROSS YOUR MIND
FARTHER DOWN THE LINE
AS YOU'RE WALKING DOWN THAT HIGHWAY ALL ALONE

YES I HOPE I CROSS YOUR MIND
FARTHER DOWN THE LINE
AS YOU'RE WALKING DOWN THAT HIGHWAY ALL ALONE

Ride Into The Night
(Words and Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Rebecca was a lady who wanted to live free
William was an outlaw ornery as could be
They met one night in a desert town it was just too hot to sleep
And the passion that burned inside them was much too hot to keep
He was captured by her perfume she was swept away by his charms
And neither one could wait to be in the other's arms
He smiled with bad intentions, she quickly took his hand
They stole a couple of horses and rode across the Texas sand

AND THEY RIDE INTO THE NIGHT RIDING TO BE FREE
WITH THE SHERIFF ON THEIR TAIL AND THE DEVIL AT THEIR FEET
AND THEY RIDE INTO THE NIGHT RIDING TO BE FREE
WITH THE SHERIFF ON THEIR TAIL AND THE DEVIL AT THEIR FEET
(Uh-huh)

A mean tempered outlaw a lady with golden hair
No one could have imagined a more unlikely pair
They made their money quick and they did their living fast
They'd do their dying young, but they'd make their loving last
Justice was a dream the law was for the strong
Hot lead from a pistol would decide right from wrong
Their trail stained with blood and their pockets filled with gold
Towns filled with terror as on and on they rode

And then one night the word was out that they'd be riding by
The sheriff got a posse with vengeance in their eyes
He chased them to the canyon's edge and there was never any doubt
The raging river below them would offer no way out
Bill got down from his horse and pulled Becky to his side
Kissed her as he whispered "This is our last ride"
Then they dove into the water it was said no one could swim
The river wrapped around them and they were never seen again

(and they ride… and they ride)
AND THEY RIDE INTO THE NIGHT RIDING TO BE FREE
(and they ride… and they ride, ride, ride)
WITH THE SHERIFF ON THEIR TAIL AND THE DEVIL AT THEIR FEET
(and they ride… and they ride)
AND THEY RIDE INTO THE NIGHT RIDING TO BE FREE
(and they ride… let them ride, ride, ride)
WITH THE SHERIFF ON THEIR TAIL AND THE DEVIL AT THEIR FEET

You Call My Name
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

You seduce me like no other it's a temptation I can't erase
I lay awake on the darkest nights and long for your embrace
I won't tell her it crossed my mind to turn and run to you
No one could ever understand after all you put me through

You robbed me of my pride you stole my dignity too
You watched my self-esteem erode and my integrity fall through
Anytime I needed you I'd always find you there
Waiting for me with open arms like a spider in her lair

YOU CALL MY NAME AT NIGHT
AND FILL MY HEART WITH SIN
I PRAY FOR THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT
'CAUSE I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN
EVERYDAY'S A BRAND NEW START
A CHANCE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
BUT I TREMBLE WITH FEAR WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
'CAUSE YOU CALL MY NAME AT NIGHT

When you filled my life with dread and haunted all my dreams
I found my hope one day at a time and 12 steps to set me free
It's been five long years since my lips have tasted your poisonous kiss
And Heaven help me when I'm weak you're still hard to resist

You Won't Let Me In
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Singers and players, jokers and mimes
Down at the market for nickels and dimes
I'm in the crowd its my day in the sun
Everything's right and I've just begun

THEN THE RAIN CAME AND SOAKED ME TO THE SKIN
THEN THE RAIN CAME BUT YOU WOULDN'T LET ME IN
I CAN STAND THE CLOUDS DON'T MIND THE WIND
YOU'RE THE ONE I NEED BUT YOU WON'T LET ME IN

The bus took off with all that I owned
I tried to catch it but soon it was gone
Left on the street with all that I am
A heart full of dreams and a head full of plans

THEN THE RAIN CAME AND SOAKED ME TO THE SKIN
THEN THE RAIN CAME BUT YOU WOULDN'T LET ME IN
I CAN STAND THE CLOUDS DON'T MIND THE WIND
YOU'RE THE ONE I NEED BUT YOU WON'T LET ME IN

I lie beside you alone each night
And if I ask you hold me tight
But passionate dreams you keep for you only
Your secrets are the walls that make me lonely

THEN THE RAIN CAME AND SOAKED ME TO THE SKIN
THEN THE RAIN CAME BUT YOU WOULDN'T LET ME IN
I CAN STAND THE CLOUDS DON'T MIND THE WIND
YOU'RE THE ONE I NEED BUT YOU WON'T LET ME IN

Talk Talk Talk
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Well you heard a rumor I've been untrue
But let me set it straight with you
It's just talk talk talk talk talk
It's just talk talk talk talk talk
It's just talk talk talk talk talk

Listen baby don'tcha be a fool
Don'tcha let that gossip rule
It's just talk talk talk talk talk

Let them talk about you and talk about me
Let them talk and let them be
It's just talk talk talk talk talk
Talk talk talk talk

Let them talk about me and talk about you
Let them talk its what they do
It's just talk talk talk talk talk
Talk talk talk talk

Well I save my lovin' just for you
If you hear something else you know it ain't true

Ice Cream Boogie
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Well you walk up to the counter and hand her your money
She says with a smile "What can I get for you honey"
You know what you want is to take her home
But you settle for vanilla in a sugar cone

THEY GOT 31 FLAVORS BUT NOT ONE AS SWEET
AS THE GIRL WHO SERVES THOSE ICE CREAM TREATS

I thought one day I'd get out of the heat
And get myself something cool to eat
But when I saw her my temperature rose
I don't know how she keeps that ice cream froze

THE GIRL SHE'S HOT THE GIRL SHE'S SWEET
THE GIRL WHO SERVES THOSE ICE CREAM TREATS

She's got strawberry hair and cherry lips
And I bet she's got a double chocolate kiss
Creamy French vanilla skin
Quick as caramel and cool as mint

THEY GOT 31 FLAVORS BUT NOT ONE AS SWEET
AS THE GIRL WHO SERVES THOSE ICE CREAM TREATS

Well you walk up to the counter and hand her your money
She says with a smile "What can I get for you honey"
You know what you want is to take her home
But you settle for vanilla in a sugar cone

THEY GOT 31 FLAVORS BUT NOT ONE AS SWEET
AS THE GIRL WHO SERVES THOSE ICE CREAM TREATS

Little Message
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Well I got a little message ain't nothing new
But it'll pick you up if you're feeling blue
Let me say Baby I love you

I got little message that I want you to know
Where ever you are where ever you go
Just remember Honey I love you

I GOT A LITTLE MESSAGE SAYING HOW DO YOU DO
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEND SOME TIME
IT'S JUST A LITTLE MESSAGE, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT IT FILLS UP THIS HEART OF MINE

I got little message that I want you to hear
It will only take a second won't you lend me an ear
And let me whisper Darlin' I love you

I got a little message maybe I'll write it down
Or maybe I'll shout it all across town
Let them all know baby I love you

I GOT A LITTLE MESSAGE SAYING HOW DO YOU DO
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEND SOME TIME
IT'S JUST A LITTLE MESSAGE, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT IT FILLS UP THIS HEART OF MINE

I got a little message that I want you to say
To let me know that you feel the same way
If you mean it say I love you

Just a little message
Just for you

Cadillac Girl
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Well she's long and lean and built for speed
Custom made designed to tease
A work of art a beauty to behold
A dream every man wants to know
She's top of line she's a Cadillac kind of girl

No pick up truck could ever pick her up
No foreign car would ever get far
The girl's got class the girl's got style
And the way she moves will drive you wild
She's top of line she's a Cadillac kind of girl

HERE SHE COMES (SHE'S A CADILLAC GIRL)
THERE SHE GOES (SHE'S A CADILLAC GIRL)
WHAT HER ROCK (SHE'S A CADILLAC GIRL)
SEE HER ROLL (SHE'S A CADILLAC GIRL)
SHE'S TOP OF LINE SHE'S A CADILLAC KIND OF GIRL

A solid investment don't come cheap
But quality built just can't be beat
Take your number wait your turn
Spend your money and watch it burn
She's high priced she's a Cadillac kind of girl

I Wanna Rob Trains
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

GONNA RIDE MY PONY LIKE JESSE JAMES
GONNA MAKE A LOT OF MONEY
GONNA GET A LOT OF FAME
WHEN I GROW UP, I WANNA ROB TRAINS

Well I seen them rob trains on the T.V. shows
And I heard all about it from some people who know
Said he robbed from the rich and gave to himself
Got a lot of fresh air that's good for your health

Everyone will think I'm orn'ry and mean
I won't have to wash behind my ears
I'll take a bath maybe once a year

WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA ROB TRAINS
GONNA RIDE MY PONY LIKE JESSE JAMES
GONNA MAKE A LOT OF MONEY
GONNA GET A LOT OF FAME
WHEN I GROW UP, I WANNA ROB TRAINS

Gonna save all my money, save all my gold
`Till I can buy a train of my own

WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA ROB TRAINS
GONNA RIDE MY PONY LIKE JESSE JAMES
GONNA MAKE A LOT OF MONEY
GONNA GET A LOT OF FAME
WHEN I GROW UP, I WANNA ROB TRAINS

I WANNA ROB TRAINS

Black Leather Hurricane
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

Riding down the street on a Harley bike
Dressed in black leather and spikes
A cigarette lit, devil in his eye
The girls all swoon as he walks by
Look out cats get out of the way
He's a BLACK LEATHER HURRICANE

Looking for a rumble, looking for a fight
A pompadour, a knife, and a Saturday Night
Down in the alley you can hear him howl
A lone wolf out on the prowl
He's raving mad, that cat's insane
He's a BLACK LEATHER HURRICANE

He's got no address the highway's his home
He's a poet, a prophet, and a singer of songs
He's free as the wind and cold as ice
And that's the way he'll live his life
The hep cats jump when they hear his name
He's a BLACK LEATHER HURRICANE

Burn Down the House
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

I'm sitting here all alone
In a house that's not a home
Everything reminding me of you
But there's some newspapers in the den
I'll throw your picture in with them
And light a match to set my heartache free

I'M GONNA BURN DOWN THE HOUSE
I'M GONNA BURN DOWN THE HOUSE
I'M GONNA BURN SOME MEMORIES AND BURN THEM RIGHT
I CAN HEAR THE SIRENS SCREAM
BUT THEY'RE TOO LATE ON THE SCENE
THE FIRE IN MY HEART'S GONNA BURN DOWN THE HOUSE TONIGHT

Our love was a burning flame
And tonight it will burn again
Along with the living room furniture
And when the walls come crashing down
And our house burns to the ground
I know that I'll be over you for sure

Yeah, the fire in my heart's gonna burn down the house tonight

I've Never Been To Prison
(Words & Music by Justin Curtis) SOCAN/BMI

I got home and found your note
And it was hard to believe
You said I was a wonderful husband
But you couldn't live with me
You had you cards read and you checked them out
With your astrological chart
It was clearly time to leave
But you hated to break my heart

At first I was confused
But now it all makes sense
You wanted to expand your mind
And build experience
I met the guy you left me for
And I can see why your love is true
He been places and done things
That I guess I'll never do

NO I'VE NEVER BEEN TO PRISON
I DON'T HAVE A JAIL TATTOO
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AN HONEST MAN
I'M NOT THE GUY FOR YOU
I DON'T HIT GIRLS I DON'T KICK DOGS
I'VE NEVER SET MY CAT ON FIRE
I DON'T CHEAT STEAL OR LIE
OR CAPTURE YOUR DESIRE

No I don't care much for honky-tonks
I never drink 'til dawn
I've never shot anyone
There's no scars on my arm
But your new boyfriend does all these things
And by the law he's always haunted
So watch your T.V. set 'cause there'll he'll be
On America's Most Wanted
