GOOD TO GO AGAIN Wish I could make a deal with that clock on the wall Would he move a little faster if I paid him off This cubicle feels like a jail to me And when it finally hits five, buddy I’ll be free I’m not asking for much, just a little break Don’t need a French Villa or a trip to Spain (CHORUS) Just give me four wheels and a three day weekend Two-lane blacktop and one great friend Don’t try to call me for seventy two hours And I’ll come back and be good to go again Good to go again Turn the whole world off and my radio on Maybe find a little bar with no bars on my phone Have some jalapeño salsa and a stiff cocktail Crash out for the night at some roadside motel My flip-flops, blanket, and an old guitar Don’t need more than will fit in the trunk of my car CHORUS I won’t need much to turn this thing around Just sing along with me and we’ll count ‘em down FOUR WHEELS THREE DAY WEEKEND TWO LANE BLACKTOP ONE GREAT FRIEND DON’T CALL ME SOON I’LL BE GOOD TO GO GOOD TO GO AGAIN CHORUS Steve Rempis (Scheunda Music – ASCAP) Randy Finchum (Plenty Of Finch – SESAC) ©2017

Different Place (Don Gaylord) Vs: I put you out… I was tired of your runnin’ around With every smooth talkin’ guy you ever found Then you begged me… you said things would be different this time And like a fool I believed your lies Ch: Now it’s 3 am and you’re gone again and I’ve got those same old blues I know I’m the only one to blame I’m a fool for you and you can’t be true… I feel an old familiar pain It hurts the same, just in a different place Vs: I’ve got a hole in my heart… must have a hole in my head To believe a single word you ever said My friends warned me… They said “she’s the cheatin’ kind” And in a hot five minutes you were makin’ time Ch: Solo Chorus and out

LOST ORCHIDS 04:03
The Lost Orchids of the Fakahatchee Strand (Steve Rempis) Hope I'll be forgiven for the things I do Chose to make my living catering to Those whose lust for status can justify the means Not far from Lake Okeechobee Underneath the stars amongst the cypress trees You'll find me waiting through the sawgrass in hundred-foot canopies (CHORUS) When you've drank as many meals as I have When you've shed as many tears without laughs Maybe then I'll stand here silent and take your reprimand When you've known my loss and hopelessness When you've paid the cost for soullessness Maybe when your hands grow violent and shake like the shifting sand The Lost Orchids of the Fakahatchee Strand I used to have a family and legit career Who'd guess a tragedy would lead me here A Cessna flight gone wrong splashdown emergency Sadly neither pilot had survived Haply all the passengers were alive Until the gators arrived before the rescue team (CHORUS) Only flowers They're only flowers no big deal Only flowers But they hold a great appeal So I take and poach and steal (CHORUS)

WALLFLOWER 03:30
Wallflower (Tom Templeman / Steve Rempis) (c) 2017 I freeze up when you walk by And can't look you in the eye But in my mind we had a thousand conversations Other girls offer their advice I know your friends all think I'm nice They say I'm sweet, but it's no consolation (chorus) You walk through me like I’m not there I’m invisible to your stare I try to speak but, every word runs dry All the chances I have missed Wanting lips I've never kissed Just a Wallflower, watching you walk by It's a sad form of amusement Transparent and translucent No mistake, opaque has passed me by No signs of recognition I feel like an apparition Not a ghost of a chance at romance have I (Chorus) (Bridge) It’s hard to make that first move, when you’re standing in cement My face goes pale, my courage fails, so I’m stuck with my lament (Chorus)

BURNING SOUL 02:37

BRIGHT-TAILED (Steve Rempis) Well there's sunlight shining thru the blind Of the only dark corner that I could find Funny I don't recall my eye Lids ever being so damn thin I think I drank a porcupine And the quills are playing hell with my insides Sunny-side up and chicken fried Washed down with a quart of bathtub gin Maybe I was outta my mind But it seemed like a good idea at the time And now I'm... Bright-tailed and bushy-eyed (x3) And I'll do it again tonight Well sometimes it almost seems surreal When I'm thinking back on how I used to feel Vinegar piss and high ideals Chalk it up to youthful naivety They say chance favors a prepared mind But these 31 flavors have impaired mine Dig a little deeper you'll likely find The root cause of all this insanity My heads spinnin' like a red rubber ball Sorry I'm not in but I'll return your call When I'm not... Bright-tailed and bushy-eyed (x3) It sure won't be tonight Where you been old pal of mine You should come on in, whoa, the water is fine Besides I'm Bright-tailed and bushy-eyed (x3) And we'll be in here all night Yeah, we're doing it all night

FLATLANDS 04:14
Flatlands Don Gaylord – 2007 Down here on the flatlands they got stuff you wouldn’t believe Every corner’s got a carnival barker, five aces up his sleeve Ain’t no kinda safe place for rubes like you an’ me To go fallin’ off the turnip truck and an’ roll on down the street Chorus (1): I’ve got to get back to the hills I do believe I’ve had my fill Of all the whipsaw twists and turns down here on the flatlands Down here on the flatlands… On the flatlands Down here on the flatlands everything’s geared for speed They got neon locomotives fueled by lust and greed An’ they got wolves turnin’ profits off the willin’ sheep By sellin’ them off at the slaughterhouse right after they been fleeced Chorus (2): I’ve got to get back to the hills I do believe I’ve had my fill Of all the whipsaw twists and turns down here on the flatlands Down here on the flatlands… On the flatlands On the flatlands… On the flatlands… On the flatlands Bridge: An’ I’m getting’ more experience every day (Spoken) – I’ve learned to read the fine print An’ I ain’t got much left to say, I just gotta get away (get away, get away, get away) From the flatlands… From the flatlands… From the flatlands… From the flatlands… Down here on the flatlands ain’t nothin’ what it seems An’ all the good intentions just pave the gilded streets I ain’t seen one thing even halfway passin’ for real I looked high and low an’ everywhere I go I can’t find an honest deal Chorus (2): I’ve got to get back to the hills I do believe I’ve had my fill Of all the whipsaw twists and turns down here on the flatlands Down here on the flatlands… On the flatlands On the flatlands… On the flatlands… On the flatlands
