Lyrics

Verse

If music can't heal everything
Then what's the point of pain?
How can you ride the tide of agony
Without the notes someone wrote to keep you sane
Don't gotta lean on the crutch of drugs or sex
To find the peace I get in the treble and clef
Fingers fly across frets with every tiny half step
My heart pounds with the sound til I lose my breath

Verse

If our melodies could fill the world
There would never be time for war
Everybody be drunk on rock n roll n funk
Gyratin' cross the nations with metallic punk
Kids would never go hungry, wear clean clothes and good shoes
Fall asleep to the sweet sounds of rhythm and blues
Rise in the morning with Muddy Waters and King
Run and play all day to KD Lang

Verse

If music does not move your soul
Did you ever have a soul to move?
Even clouds in the Heavens pound out thunderous booms
Mountains shake, earth quakes, winds blow and trees swoon
All the creatures in the seas and the beasts of the field
Rock out to Billy Ocean, Beatles, Eagles and Seal

Bridge

If ya can't find your rhythm
I dont know what to tell ya
Maybe try Secret Garden, Moya Brennan or Enya

Outro

Music heralds revolution
Music soothes our grief
Music calms our hearts and minds
Brings quiet, Swift relief...

Chorus

I'm a complicated, educated
Spicy kinda woman
My husband knows just
where I stand
He's right beside me hand
in hand
Hard to impress, demand
the best
Don't take no mess from
no one
I'm a liberated, stimulated,
bad ass kinda woman

Verse

Don't want chocolate or
flowers
Don't read me poetry
When my man wants to
please me
He knows just what I need
I take charge in the
bedroom
And in the boardroom too
Respect my role
I run the show
There's nothing I can't do

Chorus

I'm a complicated, educated
Spicy kinda woman
My husband knows just
where I stand
He's right beside me hand
in hand
Hard to impress, demand
the best
Don't take no mess from
no one
I'm a liberated, stimulated,
bad ass kinda woman

Verse

Weak men fear my power
Dumb men fear my brain
Tiny men fear anything
They cannot restrain
Regulate my body but
They can't control their
own
Men have committed
many sins
For which they must atone

Chorus

I'm a complicated, educated
Spicy kinda woman
My husband knows just
where I stand
He's right beside me hand
in hand
Hard to impress, demand
the best
Don't take no mess from
no one
I'm a liberated, stimulated,
bad ass kinda woman

Chorus

When men call me a bitch
I tell them thank you
That's the only way I know
My voice is getting
through
If they think I'm being rude
I'm matching their own
attitude
My great escape goes off
Without a hitch
When men call me a bitch

Verse

I shouldn't have to justify
The hundred million
reasons why
I said no when you asked
me to dance
My feet aren't tired, and
I'm not sleepy
You come across as really
creepy
And I don't have to give
you "just one chance"

Chorus

When men call me a bitch
I tell them thank you
That's the only way I know
My voice is getting
through
If they think I'm being rude
I'm matching their own
attitude
My great escape goes off
Without a hitch
When men call me a bitch

Verse

Please stop telling me
your problems
I won't be the one to solve
them
I just want to sit here by
myself
I don't play pool, darts or
poker
Stop trying to move closer
Why don't you try your luck
with someone else

Chorus

When men call me a bitch
I tell them thank you
That's the only way I know
My voice is getting
through
If they think I'm being rude
I'm matching their own
attitude
My great escape goes off
Without a hitch
When men call me a bitch

Verse

Bartender is a friend of
mine
My drinks are free here all
the time
Yes that's just plain soda
in my glass
Don't want a shot, I'm not a
drinker
I'm with the band, I'm their
lead singer
No you can't drive me
home, you're drunk off
your ass

Chorus

When men call me a bitch
I tell them thank you
That's the only way I know
My voice is getting
through
If they think I'm being rude
I'm matching their own
attitude
My great escape goes off
Without a hitch
When men call me a bitch

In memory of Mark Dunn, my friend, my brother, my partner in music and crime

Chorus

Feels like trying to bite the
wind
Smoothing out the desert
sand
Blocking back the river
As it flows against my
hand
Looking at your
photograph
Like breathing without air
Your gruff voice fading
away
Left me buried in despair

Verse

I've written many stories
In the years that you've
been gone
Some were light and
happy
Some came out all wrong
But when I put pen to
paper
To celebrate my friend
All I see is your ending
Before your story could
begin

Chorus

Feels like trying to bite the
wind
Smoothing out the desert
sand
Blocking back the river
As it flows against my
hand
Looking at your
photograph
Like breathing without air
Your gruff voice fading
away
Left me buried in despair

Verse

I felt your spirit with me
In that first long painful
week
My last memory of you
Was your kiss upon my
cheek
Someday I hope to find
you
With microphone in hand
You'll say Bee, that
sounded pretty
Will you sing my song
again

Chorus

Feels like trying to bite the
wind
Or smooth out the desert
sand
Blocking back the river
As it flows against my
hand
Looking at your
photograph
Like breathing without air
Your gruff voice fading
away
Left me buried in despair...

Chorus

Feels like trying to bite the
wind
Or smooth out the desert
sand
Blocking back the river
As it flows against my
hand
Looking at your
photograph
Like breathing without air
Your gruff voice fading
away
Left me buried in despair...

Verse

Call came in
One sunny day
Mid morning in
Early May
I started driving
blindly around
East side of town

I can't remember
Too much more
That whole day is
Still a blur
Sobs broke through
And tears fell down

Chorus

We were partners
We were friends
Part of my soul
Never seen again
Faithful brother
Like no other
Not blood but we
Chose one another
Tight as ticks
Thick as thieves
You and me...
Family

Verse

I can almost
Hear you singing
Some old tune by
Johnny and June
Laughing on
The mike and dancing
Man you sure knew
How to move

Chorus

We were partners
We were friends
Part of my soul
Never seen again
Faithful brother
Like no other
Not blood but we
Chose one another
Tight as ticks
Thick as thieves
You and me...
Family

Verse

Wonder what you'd
Think today
Of all these songs
I write and play
Never thought I'd
Have to make one
About you

Chorus

We were partners
We were friends
Part of my soul
Never seen again
Faithful brother
Like no other
Not blood but we
Chose one another
Tight as ticks
Thick as thieves
You and me...
Family...

Outro

Go rest high
On that mountain
Until
We meet again

Keep
The mike
Warm for me

May your song
Never end

(A1l0fUS) (HunniBee)

Verse

He's not always the
brightest bulb
In that dim, little bar
His friends all know
How he can take things a
little bit too far
She walked by, caught his
eye
He grabbed her arm, and
more
She pepper sprayed him
Once, then twice
And threw him to the floor

Chorus

No means no no matter
how you wanna take it
Tuck that little thing in
your pants boy, or I'mma
break it
How exactly did you think
your silly plan would go?
Better keep those hands
all to yourself, cuz no
means no

Verse

He came up coughin'
sneezin', wheezin', snottin'
and cryin'
Said I was only flirtin' girl
Now I'm truly dyin'
His buddies laughed and
passed the hat
To give the girl some cash
She said you can keep
your money, I just wanna
kick his ass

Chorus

No means no, son, just
what were you thinking
You got more alcohol than
sense, you shoulda kept
on drinking
Now lay there, play dead,
then maybe she will go
Your friends all tried to
warn you brother, no
means no

Verse

She got a call that night
From her brother the
sheriff
Said hey there Sis,
You'll never guess
Who we just ended up with
Dryin' out in a cell
With his brother Bill
And some biker dude
named Moe
We can all
Hear him down the hall
screamin' no means no

Chorus

No means no, til Biker Moe
tells you start kneelin'
Brother Bill ain't say a
word, staring at the ceiling
Right now you'd pray for
pepper spray cuz there's
nowhere else to go
Your friends all tried to
warn you son,

Verse

No means no, you're
rethinking your life's
lessons
Gettin' beaten by a chick
suddenly seems a blessin'
You realize to your
surprise your life has hit a
brand new low
Last you recall hands on
the wall
Screaming no means no

Outro

No means no.
No means no.

No.
Means.
Noooooooooooo...

Verse

I come to the garden
To spend some time with
you
To talk things over
The way we used to do
When I bow my head
And my eyes close to pray
I open my heart
The tears start
And this is what I say

Chorus

Take my burden
For it's too heavy for me to
bear
Take my troubles
Loaded down with sorrows
problems and cares
Take my worries
For they're too private for
me to share
Take this load
To the end of life's road
And I will meet you there

Verse

I climb up the mountain
And as far as my eyes can
see
The beauty is endless
I'm surrounded and
captured by your majesty
I breathe in the stillness
My soul feels quiet and
peaceful and calm
Your voice calls to me
My spirit flies free
I realize I'm finally home

Chorus

Take my burden
For it's too heavy for me to
bear
Take my troubles
Loaded down with sorrows
problems and cares
Take my worries
For they're too private for
me to share
Take this load
To the end of life's road
And I will meet you there

Verse

I sit in the chapel
My head bowed low in
reverence to Thee
One hand on the Bible
The other raised in praise
and glory
I sing and bear witness
My joy just will not be
contained
I drink from thy cup
Thy power lifts me up
I shout and cry out Thy
name

Chorus

Take my burden
For it's too heavy for me to
bear
Take my troubles
Loaded down with sorrows
problems and cares
Take my worries
For they're too private for
me to share
Take this load
To the end of life's road
And I will meet you there

Verse

You may strike down my
mortal body
Where I'm going, I wont
need it anyway
But when the bells ring out
in Glory
Be ready for your
judgement day

Verse

While you hoard all your
earthly treasures
Like your ballroom and
your statue of gold
My Father's busy building
my mansion
Filled wall to wall with
riches untold

Chorus

Who are you
And what have you done
With my Jesus

Might put your face on
money and on mountains
But my God walked upon
the raging sea
While you've been busy
snatching babies from
their mamas loving arms
My Jesus gave His life to
set them free

Chorus

Who are you
And what have you done
With my Jesus

You're a thief, you're a liar
You're a cowardly fool
What makes you burn with
desire
Will make you burn in Hell
too

Verse

You signed your name to
God's Holy Word
But it was written by the
blood of The Lamb
You may be the king of evil
on earth
But you'll bow before the
Great I Am

Chorus

Who are you
And what have you done
With my Jesus

Chorus

Who are you
And what have you done
With my Jesus
