THE KING OF ROCK & ROLL © CJ Harding All Rights Reserved
When I was just a little bitty thing
Not much older than eight
Love Me Tender and old hound dog
Were my favorite records to play
Then I heard he was comin’ to town
I told my mom I was goin’ down
To see the man they called the King of Rock & Roll We were standin’ on the corner by the skatin’ rink watchin’ everybody line up
Wishin’ we had tickets to see the show
They were only five dollars a pop
They said he’d come in a limousine
But he arrived in a taxi cabThat’s the first time I saw
The King of Rock & Roll
Chorus:
The King of Rock & Roll
Is all I could see
The King of Rock & Roll
Standin’ right in front of me
He leaned over to take my hand
Little girl you’re mighty sweet
Did you come to see me sing in my show Can I give you a picture of me
I shook my head in disbelief
My knees were shakin’ so bad
When I fell in love with
The King of Rock & Roll
Chorus: The King of Rock & Roll
Is all I could see
The King of Rock & Roll
Standin’ right in front of me
That night as I walked through my neighborhood
My autographed picture in hand
I was so excited completely dazed
Did I really touch the man
Well, I hung that picture on my wall
I kissed it till it fell apart When I fell in love
With the King of Rock & Roll
The King of Rock & Roll
Is All I could see
The king of Rock & Roll
Standin’ right in front of me
RIVERBOAT © 2007 CJ HARDING ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Chorus: I ain’t gonna step down off that riverboat - I ain’t gonna step down off that riverboat
Cause if I step down off that riverboat, I don’t think that I’m a gonna float.
Cause there’s mud just below that sparklin’ water – There’s mud just below that sparklin’ water
And it’s soft, soft, deep and warm, settled in a river after a storm
Mud just below that sparklin’ water
There’s just two things that you get in life – One is joy and the other is strife
You’re the only one that can decide
Understanding your ups and downs – It’s hard to make decisions count
One step forward and two steps back again.
Chorus I ain’t gonna step down off that riverboat – I ain’t gonna step down off that riverboat
Cause if I step down off that riverboat, I don’t think that I’m a gonna float
Give me some music some foot stompin’ kind – Some blues played with a bottle neck slide
You know I’m just a misplaced country girl
So why don’t you let your troubles loose – Let the music take away your blues
Let’s roll up our sleeves and get right down to it.
Finding time to feel real nice – We all get tired of payin’ the price
For the bargain basement sale we found next door
We all start lookin’ over the fence – for the thing that will bring us happiness
It’s love you know that keeps me satisfied.
Full Chorus
I ain’t gonna step down off that riverboat, I ain’t gonna step down off that riverboat
Cause if I step down off that riverboat, I don’t think that I’m a goona float
Cause there’s mud just below that sparklin’ water – There’s mud just below that sparklin’ water
And it’s soft, soft deep and warm, settled in a river after a storm
Mud just below that sparklin’ water, Mud just below that sparklin' water,
Mud just below that sparklin' water, water, water, water
ALL ALONE © 2007 CJ HARDING ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Keep a fire burnin’ in the night you knew I’d always be in sight
Keep lookin’ up to the skies
I don’t remember what went wrong we were always singin’ the same song
It’s not the right time for goodbyes
I feel the hurt, guess I’ll cry – that’s just my way to justify
All the feelings that’s gone by
Chorus
Just love the ones that you have known – from all that love you have grown
Just feel all the love you’ve ever known – Cause tonight, tonight you’re all alone
There’s blindness in a love that’s strong – life can be an even song
Even though I stumble now and again Guess there’s no need to belong to any one dance or one song
I’ll just keep my wings to the wind
A broken heart that will mend – a lost lover and a friend
But I know that love will come again
I’ll keep a fire burning in my heart – even though we’re so far apart
It’s not in me to sing the blues
Cause I’ve got other things to do than to sit around and wait for you
When I’ve got no one I’ve got no one to lose
I’ll just put on my dancin’ shoes and do the dance that I choose
Cause tonight I know I’m not with you Chorus
Just love the ones that you have known – from all that love you have grown
Just feel all the love you’ve ever known – Cause tonight, tonight you’re all alone
Cause tonight, tonight you’re all alone, Cause tonight, tonight you’re all alone
GAME FOR FOOLS © CJ Harding All Rights Reserved
It’s so hard lovin’ you in the mornin’ at a quarter to two
Your breath smells like cigarettes and your eyes are bloodshot too.
You said you’d be home at eight; Did you really expect me to wait.
You know I spent all afternoon with this chicken and cartoons.
I finally got the kids to bed; little Joey, Ernie and Ted.
You now a phone call sure would have been nice. Hey hey, it’s really been a slice.
Well, this dinner sat here till ten, just waiting for you to walk in.
You’ve got the nerve to ask if there’s more? Why sure it’s all on the floor.
You’ll find some on the wall. You’ll find the rest down the hall.
There’s broken glass everywhere. I can see you found it; think I care.
You’re bleeding feet can’t compare with my heart.
My mother said you were a loser from the start.
You better quit while you’re ahead.
Get off that glass before you’re dead.
Chorus Love me tender; Love me true
I can’t seem to make it with you-------oh Lord.
We’re tryin’ to fake it, we can’t seem to shake it
You know love, well it’s a game for fools.
Why do so many nights end this way,
With me cryin’ and you beggin’ to stay.
You tell me you’re sorry our problem is licked.
An ad on TV said try phoning in.
Well, you made the phone call, but it was too late.
You bled to death when they ask you to wait.
Your last words as you laid there in your blood were
“Can’t you see I’m just mis-understood.”
Repeat ChorusI guess you’re expecting some lesson in this song
You think there’s a right; Perhaps there’s a wrong.
But I don’t blame all of this on him.
You see the boat just sank and he couldn’t swim.
Repeat Chorus
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Sweet Sensimilla © CJ Harding All Rights Reserved
Eighty acres on a river a dream come true
There were eagles, otter and bear
We had a plan to pay it off
We’d grow some Humbolt Redhair
We found us a patch in the woods
Got a bucket, a shovel and a pack
Plenty of sun and a clear mountain stream
And you know we never looked back
We planted those seeds gave them love and care
Then we dried those plants in a shed
We manicured those sweet smellin’ buds
Then we sold’em to the Greateful Dead.
Chorus Sweet Sensimilla, it was the golden dream
Sweet Sensimilla, the California Queen
Now this story holds more than money and dreams
And I can’t say who was right
People will do what they have to do
And most are ready to fight
They get taken in by all their desires
Some forget and some will blame
Some will rob you and then they will run
And innocence will turn insane
Well I don’t recommend this as an easy way out
There are swat teams and organized crime
They’re just waiting for you to walk in
And they’ll do more to you than blow your mind
There are some who will kill you if you just trespass
And others will invite you in
Then there are some who will take you to jail
And others who’ll preach it’s a sin.
Chorus Sweet Sensimilla; it was the golden dream
Sweet Sensimilla; the California Queen
Lucky for me I never got caught
Good Karma I guess was the key
Cause there’s law on the outside & law on the inside
And there’s the law of Harmony
Chorus Sweet Sensimilla; it was the very best kind
Sweet Sensimilla; guaranteed to blow your mind.
