If you've got the freedom, I've got the time
—Kris Kristofferson
Sad song on the jukebox
The barman rang his bell
Another night with my buddies
And the tales that they tell
I seen you around town
You move real nice
I'd like to get to know about
Your sugar and your spice
I’m not gonna tell you how to spend your time
Sometimes a body needs a body till the morning sun shines
Maybe there's a chance
We could have a good time
Maybe I could learn about
Your rhythm and your rhyme
The wind is blowing lonesome
It's a long walk home
My room is awful empty
I don't wanna be alone
I’m not gonna tell you how to spend your time
Sometimes a body needs a body till the morning sun shines

I knew you for a night
And before it was day
You turned off your light
And fluttered away
You're the kind of girl who always breaks my heart
I never learn my lesson cuz I’m not very smart
Fairest of creation
You make molecules spin
My lowly situation
I ain't never gonna win
You're the kind of girl who always breaks my heart
I never learn my lesson cuz I’m not very smart
Your smile could light a city
Your song could be a band
You're a miracle of matter
I'm just a hired hand
You're the kind of girl who always breaks my heart
I never learn my lesson cuz I’m not very smart

Liiiiiike honeybees and sunshine
Smelly cheeses and red wine
Don’t fuss and darlin’ don’t whine
You always knew that you would be mine
Liiiiiike fireflies and warm nights
Fried chicken and appetites
Six seven and eight nine
I’ve never seen you look so fine
Liiiiiike babies and wet tears
Hound dogs and droopy old ears
There ain't gonna be a better time
The moon is purple and the stars shine
Liiiiiike trouble and outlaws
Cobb salad and a good toss
You can meet me at the state line
Got a place your daddy won’t find
by Richard W. Bray
on a hilltop
in the kitchen
over rainbows
down a well
in the snow
under pressure
on the sunny side of hell
in the dumps
on a barstool
so many things I’ll never tell
on the lawn
in my car
across the sky
it rings a bell
in your bed
by your side
falling fallen fell
by Richard W. Bray
you're the pot of gold
at the end of my road
everything I never deserved
you're the dreamy and the cream
you're everything you seem
more than I could ever say with words
you're my happy and my hope
you're the only way I cope
a vision and an angel and a shrine
you're solid and you're sunny
you're beautiful and funny
you're a flower and a rainbow and a rhyme
by Richard W. Bray
It’s not a little thing
When breakfast is ready
Lunches are packed
And the house is warm
It’s not a little thing
When dishes are done
Laundry is clean
And your coat’s by the door
It’s not a little thing
Who’s sleeping in your bed
When it’s someone who supports
Everything you do
It’s not a little thing
When you go out in the world
Knowing that there’s someone
Who really loves you
By Richard W. Bray
I always knew you were there
Somewhere
I always knew there was a way
Someday
I always knew you'd come true
Somehow
And I'm believing it now
You're so sweet
And you're so true
Everything I ever knew
Everything I wanna do
It's all living in you
By Richard W. Bray
it only takes you
to open up the door
you wash away the blue
you refresh and you restore
it only took you
to melt my frozen heart
you fix me just like glue
when I’m falling apart
In a cold and bitter world
You’re a special kind of girl
it only takes you
to turn blizzards into fire
doo be doo be doo be doo
there ain’t no way to get higher
it only takes you
to right me when I’m wrong
if the world disappears
there will still be your song
by Richard W. Bray
