China Sea

(For you I wrote this song
It took me all night long
Hope you won’t think it wrong
For me so forward be)

So what’s this all about
Oh I don’t need to shout
It’s just -- you’re pure lights out
As even blind eyes can see ]

You got me so enthralled
I’m walkin’ into walls
You’re like Niagara Falls
For  newlyweds to be?

So please come  wreck my train
Please drive me half insane
I sure will not complain
If there’s a you and me

‘Cos when you’re on mind
It’s like, there’s no stop signs
It‘s just like flying blind
Over vast China sea

In ancient Martin plane
Four giant engines main
Through storm clouds, winds and rain
Could be the end of me

It was like days of yore
Heard those round engines roar
How high my spirits soared
When you were close to me

Somehow how the fates conspired
You were my funeral pyre
Seven mile long high wire
And no net to catch me

Cos your sweet southern drawl
Could pierce a concrete wall
It had me so enthralled
Like nectar to a bee

You didn’t have to shout
Or wildly dance about
Cos you were pure lights out
As far as eyes could see

And I knew that safe and slow
Was not your way to go
Big charges set to blow
You to next century

Were you sweet reverie
Or final destiny
Or maybe never-be
I just don’t know

Cos that’s all in the past
Too soon we’ll be mere dust
It aint real  fair or just
Just some crazy rodeo.

I dream you’re up on stage
And quite the current rage
It’s the Victorian Age
Your petticoat I can see

You’re one heck of a muse
You make my screws come loose
I’m giddy as a goose
And pining like a tree

My sox roll up and down
Whenever you’re around
You’re like duck eider down
For a man about to freeze

I try hard as I can
I got a million plans
Grains of Sahara sands
To get you addicted to me

I wonder years from now
If you’ll recall this show
Oh - did stage lights just blow?
Well, I did hit upper C…

This was my very best shot
I gave it all I got
You love me now? -- or what?
Sure hope that it might be

REFRAIN

So in all our lifetimes
How we do wish for sunshine
But if you’re a tornado
Then, with smile I’ll go

And when your storm clears
You’ll see me way up there
A rainbow will follow
Where ever I will go.

Double U Three (Feuling W3)

(SOUND TRACK)

(PHOTOS)

If I’m alive at all
Ain’t gonna drive no barge
Got a new steed installed
So go check out the garage

And as you lift  the door
Stop and savor what you see
Chromed steel, two wheels and a more
It’s a bike called Double U Three

(refrain)
  • And if good looks can kill
  • Better bet you’re in my will
  • If its highway leads to hell
  • Then what a way to go 
  • And its got one-fifty steeds
  • Way more than I really need
  • But hey this kind of overkill
  • Is de rigeur, ya know?
More motor ‘s lurkin’ there
Than any ‘cono car
Pretty girls all stop and stare
Cos it kinda sounds like war

Too big to start with kick
Thumb’s just the only way
Young dudes they all call it sick
Was “trick” back in the day

(refrain)
  • And if good looks can kill
  • Doan fret  you’re in my will
  • If its highway leads to hell
  • Then what a way to go 
  • And its one-fifty steeds
  • Way more than I really need
  • But hey this kind of overkill
  • Is de rigeur, ya know?
And there’s a space on back
For your sweet pretty …well
Sure ain't no mommy track
On the highway straight to hell

We’ll weave from dusk to dark
And cross those yellow lines
Hear those loud tri-pipes bark
And forget about stop signs

(refrain)
  • And if good looks can kill
  • Better bet  you’re in my will
  • If its highway leads to hell
  • Then what a way to go

Steam 'N' Steel

Dm7                       Dm7
I was born - age of steam and steel
F                             Bb                G (C)
Big locos had eight pair driving wheels
Dm7                       Dm7              
And they ran  sweet Kentucky coal
F                             Bb                Eb)                      
Shovel hard - faster you would roll
---------------------------

Flew left seat -Connie Super G
Yup, PIC – in 1953
Had four props, she’d fly good on three
High and safe over angry seas
---------------------------

Motorcy-Cle I called Black Bart
Built it up -- Hawg and Vincent parts
Monster mill - real hard to  kickstart
Not for weak Nor the faint of heart
---------------------------

And so now A new century
But I like the way things used to be
There was lead in gasoline
Rockets fueled by Hydrazine
---------------------------

No paddle shifts Just three on the tree
No cell nor text just dial rotary
Took pics on film that you would buy
No Photoshop to make them all lie.


REFRAIN
                Ab                Bb       C  
This is my anthem to ancient  gears          
                F                   Em        A
Lots of years blood sweat and tears
                  Bb        C
Cos the faster you go
                  G       
The more time slows
               A7      Dm7
Hey, Einstein said so

Instrumental break

COE

Now Big Henry had a factory
‘Longside River Rouge
Pumpin’ out trucks, strictly Country
As the red, white and blue

And my Uncle was a trucker
Workin’ here and there and far
One day cruised to a dealer
Cos he also needed car

But while slammin' doors around back
He stopped, looked up to see
An instant love attack --
A Big Henry COE

Now Unkie and his new rig
Became like a man and wife
Hauling loads both small and real big
Til the end of his long life.

So when his time was over
COE went out to seed
In a field of four-leaf clover
And Northern prairie weed

And it waited on them great plains
For its new time in the sun
Through years of snow and spring rains
For a man to make it run

Now Henry COE ‘s mine
And got some plans in store
Gonna drop in big round engine
From planes of Second War

And I’ll do my own flying
Just closer to the ground
All perty girls be sighing
When they hear its monster sound

In that big COE you ride
Far above door slammer fray
And you can see all country wide
With nothin in your way

And when my time is over
COE will still run strong
No more fields of clover
But a big safe dark dry barn

So now this tale is  over
One secret I confess
What does COE stand for
Leave that for you to guess

(REFRAIN)

My baby’s calling me
Climb in my COE
Highball cross county line
Make her place, in record time

I want her riding ‘gun
She is the only one
Dig more than my sweet ride
If she’s good, might let her drive...
