"Good Eats Cold Beer"
    © 2008 Rob Young

Verse:

Long day, hard, hard work
For low pay, I got  no perks
It might be time for a change of scene
Yeah I just might have to blow a little steam

Pack up my truck, with all my tools
and head on out, to break some rules
Just down the street, and pass this store
a neon light flashing through the door it reads

Good eats, cold cold beer,
No double talk is spoken hear
It's just a place to find yourself
It just might help you with your mental health

Chorus:

Verse:

Behind the bar, girl name kate
Don't piss her off or she'll make you wait
on the wall are all the names
and photographs in the hall of shame

They play some country and rock and roll
They play it all night until you go
You do the two step out on the floor
Tommorrow night you'll be back for more

Good eats, cold cold beer,
No double talk is spoken hear
It's just a place to find yourself
It just might help you with your mental health

Chorus:

Everybody needs a place they can go
Everybody needs a little home away from home
Where you can play a little pool, shoot a few darts
Chase a good women and break her heart

Intro

Hey - Ho
Ho - Hey
Duck and Jab


Verse 1

I can see a dark an ominous cloud, up ahead on the horizon
it's going to get tough are you ready son?
bad times they are a rising


Do you really think that you have, what its going to take?
you've never seen whats coming down
just be prepared for heavens sake

Chorus:

You got to roll with the punches boy
you gotta learn to duck and jab
just like your father did
and before him his old man

Hey - Ho
Ho - Hey
Duck and Jab

Hey - Ho
Ho - Hey
Duck and Jab

Verse 2

Don't be the last one to arrive, to board the outbound train
and get your ticket while you still can
soon they'll be a treacherous rain

and keep low and level son, and don't you ever look back
determination just might get you by
choices are slim and fading fast


Chorus:

You got to roll with the punches boy
you gotta learn to duck and jab
just like your father did
and before him his old man

Hey - Ho
Ho - Hey
Duck and Jab

Hey - Ho
Ho - Hey
Duck and Jab


Verse 3

Go now boy and plant your seeds, for the harvest to come
they'll be ready when spring comes around
be assured of your place in the sun

when the bugle boy sounds his note, you'll be called to arms
know in your heart of hearts your a fight'n man
you can't rely on your boyish charms

Chorus:

You got to roll with the punches boy
you gotta learn to duck and jab
just like your father did
and before him his old man

Hey - Ho
Ho - Hey
Duck and Jab

Hey - Ho
Ho - Hey
Duck and Jab

"My Old Man's Chevrolet" 
  Copyright 2009 Rob Young

Verse 1

I can remember a day when Detroit was king
hard work paid off when you chased your dreams
building futures with  tools in your hands
and delivering the goods to a promise land

Sun beams bounced off the bumper chrome
wheels burned rubber on familiar roads
cruising the streets on a saturday night
back seat romance that just felt so right

Chorus

but now were looking thru the rearview mirror
as things fall apart the picture gets a little clearer
I never thought I live to see the day...
this ain't my old man's Chevrolet

What ever happened too
a little hope and faith
and when our parents told us
it would be ok

Verse 2

How can situations get so turned around
that a better way of doing things can't be found
in a country that we always reach down deep
and promised ourselves we'd never admit defeat

It might be time we all get fighting mad
and chase the dreams that our fathers had
we can't sit back and let the hard times role
and carry ourselves like cold and timid souls

Chorus

and now were looking thru the rearview mirror
as things fall apart the picture gets a little clearer
I never thought I live to see the day....
this ain't my old man's Chevrolet

What ever happened too
a little hope and faith
and when our parents told us
it would be ok

Verse 1

Albert Sulley was a flim flam man, poker face and a slight of hand
he grew up in timbuck two, somewhere in southern Ala-bam

His uncle taught him everything he knew, that they'd never teach a boy in school
yeah best you ya'll just keep away, cuz he'll surely play you for a fool

and if he had no change in his pocket
he'd have this prayer in his heart
if got a pidgeon on the line
he'd have a good place to start

Chorus:

Gather round, Gather round, it's the greatest little show in town
Gather round, Gather round, he'll pick your pockets clean
and he's highway bound


Verse 2

He left home when he was seventeen, found a job down in New Orleans
washing dishes on a gambling boat and living off of rice and beans

To Albert it made perfect sense even though it was a criminal offense
and in his mind, doing time would be just a minor expense

he quickly learned the fine art of the con
from a old man named "Samual Reed"
and lined his pockets with sparkiling gold
with a shamefull game of deceit

Chorus:

Gather round, Gather round, it's the greatest little show in town
Gather round, Gather round, he'll pick your pockets clean
and he's highway bound

Verse 3

Albert Sulley lived his life on the run, just 3 steps head of a law man's gun
and if you could catch him and ask him why, he'd say "I just do it for the fun"

Then one night in this smoked filled room, Albert came to meet his finale doom
A gambling man from San Anton busted his head with the end of a broom

and he died with no change in his pocket
and a empty prayer in his heart
seems the pidgeon on the line
was just a little too smart

Chorus:

Gather round, Gather round, it's the greatest little show in town
Gather round, Gather round, he'll pick your pockets clean
and he's highway bound

"A Heart as Big as Baltimore" Copyright 2008 Rob Young

Verse 1

She's the one thats tough as nails
her reputation gets around
She can always hold her own
when the boys are all in town

And people always think she's got
a heart thats cold as hell
but once you peel the layers away
you'll find out something more

Chorus

A heart as big as Baltimore
a smile that keeps you warm all over
beneath the surface simmering
a passion thats just ready to explode
and once you've felt it
you just can't ingnore
a heart as big as Baltimore

Verse 2

She has her reasons for
putting up a wall to keep you out
there was this guy that she knew
thought she couldn't live without

It was more than she had bargained for
he left her battered on the floor
she just packed up all her things
cause she couldn't take it no more

Chorus

but she had a heart as big as Baltimore
a smile that keeps you warm all over
beneath the surface simmering
a passion thats just ready to explode
and once you've felt it
you just can't ingnore
a heart as big as Baltimore

Verse 3

She's learning as she goes along
he can't steal her life away
and now she opens up again
and tells me its ok

I just lay here beside her
and I listen to her every word
and now she understands from me
that her heart is finally being heard

Chorus

A heart as big as Baltimore
a smile that keeps you warm all over
beneath the surface simmering
a passion thats just ready to explode
and once you've felt it
you just can't ignore
a heart as big as Baltimore
