Can’t Fool Myself
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
Well I think by now you found my long lost letter
Go ahead pick it up, if it might make ya’ feel better
Half way there, whatcha’ gonna’ do?
Fool for rock n’ roll, makin’ love to you
Well I packed it up, I packed it in
I pushed myself farther than I’ve ever been
Things haven’t been the same, since I met you
Well don’t turn away, I was only gonna’ say
Cupid’s poison darts, headed straight for the lonely hearts
It’s always been that way
That’s how it’s gonna’ stay
I can’t fool myself, I can’t tell no lies
Can’t hide what’s on my face or in, my eyes
Things are gonna’ work out, just like ya’ said they would
Well I tried it out, tried and true
Fallin’ faster all the time, tired of feelin’ blue
Just gotta’ make it out, gotta’ make it through
It seems it’s all ya’ might have left to do
Well don’t turn away, I was only gonna’ say
That cupid’s poison darts, headed straight for the lonely hearts
It’s always been that way
That’s how it’s gonna’ stay

Wired For Progress
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
Here’s a little song my friend
True blue to the highways’ end
Do whatcha’ do, you never need to pretend
Feels so right you know ya’ just might, do it again
They’ll be days, things move so slow
Got my crash helmet on for life
Got a great big heart, no wife
No one’s gonna’ accuse me of not takin’ chances
Wired for progress, army of one
When you’re broke for too long, it’s no fun
Squirmed around, but ya’ held me tight
Ya’ brought me right back home, like a lost satellite
I was headed for a crash course on another day
Well ya’ know you knock me right outta’ my way
A rollin’ stone gathers’ no moss
But a rollin’ pin shows who’s boss
Junkie uncle finally lost
No one’s gonna’ accuse me of not takin’ chances
Wired for progress, army of one
When you’re broke for too long, it’s no fun

When The Missing Wheel Spins
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
When the missing wheel spins
That’s where the magic ends, and the heartache begins
I know what you’re thinkin’ I feel it too
It’s a special torture to be missin’ you
I’m in love with you, you’re obsessed with me
We’re the perfect couple, can’t ya’ see?
Keep your money, I’ll take my time
The more ya’ fake it, the more ya’ lose your mind
Damned if you do, bored if ya’ don’t
Say you gotta’ put me down but ya’ won’t
I’m callin’ all angels, they’re here for you
Bye bye angel, now don’t ya’ make me blue
Say this is a dream come true, might call it fate
You say, “ what can I do, when this is all 20 years too late”
You step outside to cry in the rain
No one can spot your tears or see your pain
I’m in your heart, just like you said
Less than twenty-four hours from now
I’ll be in the dog house instead
I know what you’re thinkin’ I feel it too
It’s a special torture to be missin’ you

Another Blonde In The Breadline
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
I don’t watch commercials,
Don’t watch the news
Don’t drink the Kool-Aid,
Got no time to lose
More heart, less head,
Heard less is more, and now it’s been said
It’s good to know when you’re full and fed
Now whatcha’ gonna’ do?
Ah, there’s another blonde in the breadline
Ah man, what’s she gonna’ do?
I’ve only got one lonesome dollar
That’s not enough to pull anybody through
I got a kick in the head for lovin’ you
A dream’s a wish that the heart makes true
It’s Monday and the sky’s fallin’ through,
Cuz’ everyone’s back to feelin’ blue
Hang tough, don’t get confused
Hang on, when you got nothin’ to lose
Hang tight, keep collecting clues,
It’ll all make sense one day
Ah, there’s another blonde in the breadline
Ah man, what’s she gonna’ do?
I’ve only got one lonesome dollar
That’s not enough to pull anybody through
I’ve met em’ all, rich and poor
The people with the least seem to wanna share more
It’s good to know, what you’re livin’ for,
Now whatcha’ gonna’ do?
Pontius Pilate, purple and plaid
You say too much, people gonna’ get mad
A heart o’ stone will make ya sink and sad
Now whatcha’ gonna’ do?
Ah, there’s another blonde in the breadline
Ah man, what’s she gonna’ do?
I’ve only got one lonesome dollar
That’s not enough to pull anybody through
Whatcha’ gonna’ do?

Birthday Song (Baby Blues)
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
Lovin’ you all around the clock
Chasin’ your ghost when the night comes fallin’ down
Wanna’ take ya for a real long long drive
No one’s ever made me feel this alive, before
Little brown cabin, big red barn
Big red mama, know you got the whole farm anyway
And time, seems there ain’t ever enough
We just hope our love’s, strong enough
Hope it’s tough enough
Starin’ right into those baby blues
The only thing I ever lose, is myself in you
Wanna get a pony, wanna’ get a car
Watchin’ the sparks from a shooting star
From my heart
Pack it all up, brown bag lunch
First class lovin’ call it more than a hunch
That I know
And time, seems there ain’t ever enough
We just hope our love’s, strong enough
Hope it’s tough enough

Free Range Renegade
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
On and on, leanin’ on a new song
It’s a free lance escapade
He’s a free range renegade
Don’t want no job with the G-O-V
Too much damage, to his personality
Needs love, needs hope, needs room to grow
Seal it with a kiss, be back for more
Back for more more more
Restless hearts, keep searchin’ on and on
Paid the cost to be the boss
So now you’re gonna get real gone
Can’t make deals with a dead man now
You just traded places with the horse and the plow
Stay up, stay on, stay out a sight
Set your course for success, it’s a Saturday night
Saturday night night night night
It’s a tricky situation, said your girlfriend Ruth
Said you wanna’ know freedom, wanna’ know the truth
Get back to originality, accept no substitutes
For the best you can be
Be up, be on, be out a sight
Set your course for success, it’s a Saturday night
Saturday night night night night night
Saturday night night night

Dontcha' Fight The Feelin'
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
I’ve been witness to some miracles
Some heart felt changes, only time will tell
The truth and facts lie in a place,
No man or money can erase away
I’ve heard it said before that bliss is hard to resist
Some certain motivation, serves a simple twist
When you step into the great unknown
Your dreams can lead ya’ far from home, far away
2 A.M. not drunk and wishin’ on a star
At 2 A.M. ya’ know who your real friends are
No need to struggle, when you’re wearin’ a true face
Don’t fight the feelings, when you know
You’re in the wrong place
Know you’re in the wrong place
Dontcha’ fight the feelins’
I’ve been fired and I’ve been true
I’ve been busted, I’ve been blue
I ain’t got no money, but I’m all time
You can keep what’s yours and have
What’s mine, any day
2 A.M. not drunk and wishin’ on a star
At 2 A.M. ya’ know who your real friends are
No need to struggle, when you’re wearin’ a true face
Don’t fight the feelings, when you know
You’re in the wrong place
Know you’re in the wrong place
Dontcha’ fight the feelins’
I hope what ya’ do, helps find your will to survive
Livin’ in the moments’ what makes me feel alive
People search and try to buy peace of mind
Less is more, more often times you’ll find
along the way
2 A.M. not drunk and wishin’ on a star
At 2 A.M. ya’ know who your real friends are
No need to struggle, when you’re wearin’ a true face
Don’t fight the feelings, when you know
You’re in the wrong place
Know you’re in the wrong place
Dontcha’ fight the feelins’

Stolen Moments & Stealin’ Time
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
Wanna look up and see your face,
I tried everything, but can’t replace
Your happiness, your warm glow
I wanna know, where’d it go?
Now everything has turned to blue,
Ya turned off those baby blues
I flipped around, I fell down,
I got no one to put my arms around
Guess I was thinkin’
Like I always do
Thinkin’ bout’ you and me,
Thinkin’ we might make it through
Stolen moments and stealin’ time
Ya mixed it up, ya crossed the line
Thought you fixed your blues, fixed your sadness
Ya got confused, and it led to madness
Love and affection from the start,
Only true love can break your heart,
Feel like you’re broken and you’re burnt down,
And the loneliness keeps crashin’ down
Guess I was thinkin’
Like I always do
Thinkin’ bout’ you and me,
Thinkin’ we might make it through
Guess I was thinkin’
Like I always do
Thinkin’ bout’ you and me,
Thinkin’ we might make it through

Breakin' Out
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
2-3-4
Come on now daddy, now let’s go
Ya’ don’t have to take it slow
Don’t always have to make true romance
Sometime’s ya’ gotta’ take a chance
I’ve been savin’ since last Monday
I got enough to take you out again
If ya’ don’t wanna’ have fun than just say
I’m breakin’ out all the same again
Come on now mama, now let’s go
Ya’ say turn on up the radio
It’s only rock n’ roll, don’t lose your pants
Don’t be a victim of a circumstance
People melt can’t help but grow older
Lose your dreams, ya might grow a little colder
Beein’ happy, no one can stop you
It’s in your mind react on point
And it’s all o-k

UnBlue You
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
All you gotta’ do to make me happy
Your crimson hair and the Christmas lights
The cabin, your love, and the endless nights
Come right in through the door
Your shimmerin’ eyes and your ruby lips
And I love the way that you move your hips
Don’t have to tell ya’ how I’m feelin’
Eye to eye, I can’t deny
One look just sets my heart a-rheelin’
Time to time thought our love won’t stand a chance
But time has shown this is more than just a
Schoolboy or a Schoolgirl romance
Hurry love, pull back my covers
Look at you and me, we’re like two
Hide-a-way lovers
Trust me with your heart, and ya’ know you can
I would never let ya’ down
I wanna’ put my arms around ya’
I wanna’ hold your hand
Dance all night, dance to this tune
Heart to heart and cheek to cheek
Till the cows come home and then we’ll
Shoot the moon
Time to time thought our love won’t stand a chance
But time has shown this is more than just a
Schoolboy or a Schoolgirl romance

Bombs Away
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
Down to the discount the beggin’ man did say
As the bottle touched his lips, he pushed the past far away
Gone like a spider, like a little jet fighter
He just aimed for the sky, said, “ Bombs Away “
Like salty candy sang Leon Russell
Breakin’ free from the chains of the 9 to 5 hustle
I stop the rip-off, every chance that I can take
I’m leavin’ now, do you think you’ve had enough?
Think you got the nerve, to call my bluff?
Think you’ve been licked, do you know what life is for?
Do you know that you’ve been lied to?
You know there’s so much more in store
Well I hit the bottle, but the bottle hit back
You think it’s whiskey to the rescue
Till you wind up down the wrong track
Break the mold, you just might meet the
Luxury of time, without suffering
Like one big commercial, corporations for Babylon
Led filled shoes, makes it hard for you to travel on
Wait for liberation, you know, justice begs it
You just hope that when it comes
It doesn’t cue your final exit
I’m leavin’ now, do you think you’ve had enough?
Think you got the nerve, to call my bluff?
Think you’ve been licked, do you know what life is for?
Do you know that you’ve been lied to?
You know there’s so much more in store

Miles From Nowhere
WRITTEN BY: TONY D. ANDERSON
Thinkin’ bout’ runin’
Nothin’ left to do but make a move
Got both feet, and none in
Down an empty lane, try and break these blues
Hard on a friend of mine
A friend I need a friend, indeed
Hard on a friend of mine
A friend I need a friend, indeed
Tell ya’ right away
When you’re minin’ for gold by moonlight
Still ya’ gotta’ say,
Everything keeps goin’ on
Well ya’ pushed and ya’ kicked
And ya’ wound up on the strip
Where broken dreams won’t take ya’ too far
Ya’ sipped, slipped, wound up in a fix
Miles from nowhere and, no car
Say where ya’ wanna’ go
Cuz’ everyday’s a new, new day
Say where ya’ wanna’ go
Cuz’ everyday’s a new, new day
Tell ya’ right away
When you’re minin’ for gold by moonlight
Still ya’ gotta’ say,
Everything keeps goin’ on
