Intro
la,la,la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la
whoo, whoo
Verse1:
Well I dealt you all the cards girl
but you held all the hands
and you called all my little bluffs girl
when you went and found another man
So lets forget about a placing blame,
this doesn't have to be goodbye
I learned a lesson when a lady luck
she went and left me high and dry
Chorus:
So baby please just give me one more chance to show
it's double or nothing girl
double or nothing
double or nothing before I go
Yeah double or nothing
double or nothing
double or nothing before I go
la,la,la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la
woo, who
Verse 2:
You've been counting all your winnings
While I've been gasping for some air
it can't buy you any happiness
just a lifetime of despair
The choice is really very easy,
you know it's just like a rolling dice
you might wake up in the morning
find a brand new paradise
Chorus:
So baby please just give me one more chance to show
it's double or nothing girl
double or nothing
double or nothing before I go
Yeah double or nothing
double or nothing
double or nothing before I go
la,la,la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la
woo, who
Verse 3:
forget about a trying to cash your chips,
You don't know how your fate can turn
careful when your crossing bridges
that fall to pieces as they burn
Girl I'm raising up the ante
please tell me your "all in"
we can shuffle up this here deck
and start it over again
Chorus:
So baby please just give me one more chance to show
it's double or nothing girl
double or nothing
double or nothing before I go
Yeah double or nothing
double or nothing
double or nothing before I go
la,la,la,la,la,la,la
la,la,la,la,la
woo, who

© 2007 R.Young/B.Williams/B.McBryde/R.Terry
(Verse 1)
Its so hard to climb that ladder
Oh the price you pay's too high
all the promises made and broken
brought down better men who've tried
Things they asked of me aint natural
for a man who has his pride
If I'd hung around much longer
I know a piece of me would die
(Chorus)
It aint Lonely at the bottom
got some real good company
we don't have alot of money
but the goodtimes sure are free
All my friends are never busy
I can always find them here
You can hear them talking stories
drowning troubles drinking beer
(Verse 2)
The fast track I was driving
never took me anywhere
Just drove around in circles
never finding myself there
So I left it all behind me
for a life that I could live
and I got back so much more
than I could ever give
(Chorus)
It aint Lonely at the bottom
got some real good company
we don't have alot of money
but the goodtimes sure are free
All my friends are never busy
I can always find them here
You can hear them talking stories
drowning troubles drinking beer
(Verse 3)
More to life than chasing treasures
that steal you of your precious time
It'll never lead to happiness
You got to leave it all behind
Plenty of room here at the bottom
If you just check in at the door
its not hard and once you've done it
Don't have to worry any more
(Ending Chorus)
It aint Lonely at the bottom
Nobody's going anywhere
If you tell them that there crazy
They'll just tell you they don't care
It aint Lonely at the bottom
got some real good company
we don't have alot of money
but the goodtimes sure are free
"Teenage Alibi" © 2008 Rob Young
Verse 1
Way back in nineteen seventy six
It was about love not politics
Concert shirts, and our hair was long
We really dug our rockin roll songs
Stayed out past midnight and our parents would sigh
tried to sell them on a teenage alibi
Chased the girls down in Ft Lauderdale
where it would lead it was hard to tell
combed our hair just to get that look
practiced our lines and we'd bait the hook
sometimes we got lucky, other times we just tried and tried
but we were always ready with our teenage alibi's
Chorus
cuz.....
It was all about the goodtimes
It was all about having fun
It was all about hanging out with your friends
and dancing in the sun
Verse 2
Way back in nineteen seventy seven
it was a simplier time we were living
Fleetwood Mac, Steve Miller band
played on the beach just to get a tan
took our girls for a walk, kissed 'em and we looked them in the eyes
we said "come on baby you got a teenage alibi?"
Race'd a chevelle down on Griffin road
snapped a belt, and had to have it towed
talk was cheap but the action was fun
and If we fought we didn't have no guns
paid the price when we got home but we never cried
cause we were always sticking to our teenage alibi
Chorus
It was all about the goodtimes
It was all about having fun
It was all about hanging out with your friends
and dancing in the sun
Verse 3
Way back in nineteen seventy eight
slipped out the window just to say out late
we bought some beer and some cigarettes
We drank too much cause we had a bet
but don't you know we all came up with our little white lies
yeah we were always working on our teenage alibi
Now were talking about "way back when"
and given a chance we'd do it again
summertimes that slip and fade
and memories that never go away
like a flash of lightning......... Oh way up in the sky
it all disappeared with our teenage alibi's | posted: 4/23/2010 6:34:36 PM - email it - view/add comments(0)

REBEL REMORSE
Copyright 2007 Rob Young
Verse 1
When I was eighteen years old I was so naive
a pack a marlboro's rolled up in my sleeve
and a bottle of Jack can be a dangerous thing
I was...hell bent and busted they sent me to jail
where my brother's buddy scrapped up my bail
Some stories in life are better off left untold
but my son came up to me with a question to ask
he said uncle joe was talking about my past
and I knew right then and there I had to come clean
Chorus
and I said it is what it is
and i was only a kid
hey what else can I say...
I pray to God you never follow me
in the foot prints I have made
you got to listen to that voice inside
and watch out for the danger signs
and when the fork in the road appears
Stand up straight and face your fears
I pray to God you never follow me
in the foot prints I have made
Verse 2
You got to live your life like your walking a line
cause if you stray to far you'll get in a bind
and always keep the promises that you make
Try to stay away from greed and lust
It'll turn every one of your bones into dust
and always try to help your fellow man
Don't live your life on the edge of a knife
and if your lucky boy you'll find a good wife
That will keep you from the things that drag you down
Chorus
Yeah it is what it is
and i was only a kid
hey what else can I say....
I just pray to God you never follow me
in the foot prints I have made
you got to listen to that voice inside
and watch out for the danger signs
and when the fork in the road appears
Stand up straight and face your fears
I pray to God you never follow me
in the foot prints I have made
"Where Love Waits at Midnight"
Copyright 2009 Rob Young
Verse
By the light of the moon, I can make out your eyes
the curve of your body, against the drop of the sky
On this road over looking, the lights of the town
where our love unfolds, and our dreams can be found
Chorus
I'll wait paitently, doing my time
when your ready baby, give me a sign
cuz all I want to do, I just want to get this right
so I'll meet you in the middle
You know where love waits on midnight?
Verse
We don't have to think, we just need to feel
and an awkward moment, just keeps it all real
and tommorrows dreams, are too far away
we just need to show, how were feeling today
Chorus
I'll wait paitently, doing my time
when your ready baby, give me a sign
cuz all I want to do, I just want to get this right
so I'll meet you in the middle
You know where love waits on midnight?
Verse
Your sweet breath is sweeter, than sweetest of air
the hint of perfume, that I smell in your hair
How could I ever, ask for anything more
it's just like heaven's come a knocking at my door
Chorus
I'll wait paitently, doing my time
when your ready baby, give me a sign
cuz all I want to do, I just want to get this right
so I'll meet you in the middle
You know where love waits on midnight?

 The Other Side of Goodbye
© 2009 Rob Young
Verse
I keep on moving down this highway
cause my restless heart just can't lie still
and searching for answers helps me deal with
the idle time I have to kill
The mountains way off in the distance
remind me that I have a ways to go
and guarantees are never certain
like how the north-east winds will blow
Chorus
Sometimes we have to lose ourselves,
before we can find our way
and not knowing where my heart is leading,
is better than if I stay
and breaking up is hard,
you know I feel every tear drop you cry
but sometimes true love waits ......
on the other side of goodbye
Verse
You knew last night that I was leaving
I thought I'd find you waiting at the door
but just like autumn leaves a falling
I guess you couldn't hang on anymore
Girl I wish there was a way to fix this
guess we just couldn't find the words
and the silence in the the hallway
was the only thing I ever heard
Chorus
Sometimes we have to lose ourselves,
before we can find our way
and not knowing where my heart is leading,
is better than if I stay
and breaking up is hard,
you know I feel every tear drop you cry
but sometimes true love waits......
on the other side of goodbye

Catfish and Fried Potatoes - © 2009 Rob Young
Verse
Some two hundred miles south of Alabama
good ole boys riding hogs wearing red bandanas
and they love to stop at their favorite watering hole
You might find them at the beach or a rodeo
drunk off their butts when a hurricane blows
They think that life's to short to ever compromise
Chorus:
They like catfish with their fried potatoes
They like to mess with dem' alligators
They love their dirty southern blues on the radio
Verse
They like those Rowdy girls who party on the porch
and the smell of metal and an acetylene torch
They like to park their bikes beneath the old oak trees
They live their lives without setting no course
and they don't give a damn how they do things up north
They figure day lights burning "just keep on rolling on"
Chorus:
They like catfish with their fried potatoes
They like to mess with dem' alligators
They love their dirty southern blues on the radio
Verse
Don't care too much for people who pretend
know they ain't perfect and they confess their sins
don't try to judge them and you won't set them off
It's all about freedom and all their liberties
They damn sure know that it all don't come for free
they're always ready when their country comes to call
Chorus:
Cuz...
They like catfish with their fried potatoes
They like to mess with dem' alligators
They love their dirty southern blues on the radio
On the Radio
(Dirty Southern Blues)
On the Radio
(Dirty Southern Blues)
On the Radio
(Dirty Southern Blues)
Come on give me some of that...

"FLIM FLAM MAN"
Copyright 2009 Rob Young
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
