Album I'm on Top of the World

I'm on Top of the World

Mmm… yeah…
Oh baby…

Woke up this mornin’, sun risin’ in your hair
Coffee gettin’ cold, but I just stand there and stare
Ain’t no crown on my head, no gold in my hand
But when you say you love me, I’m a king in this land
I been knocked down hard by a cold, cold world
But you lift me higher than a diamond pearl

When you hold me close, I feel ten feet tall
With your sweet love, I can face it all

I’m on top of the world when you’re lovin’ me
Higher than the tallest mountain, deeper than the sea
Ain’t no storm gonna shake my ground
Long as your heartbeat’s the sound I’ve found
Girl, your love makes me strong and free
I’m on top of the world… when you’re with me

Used to walk these streets with my head hangin’ low
Carried every worry like a heavy load
But you touched my soul with them gentle hands
Now I stand up taller than I ever planned
You see the man I am, not the shadows I cast
With you, I’m not alone, I’m free at last

When you hold me close, I feel ten feet tall
With your sweet love, I can face it all

So here’s to the nights when we dance 'neath the stars
Together we’ve come, no matter how far
With every laugh we share, those moments we keep,
You’re the treasure I hold, the promise I reap.

Yeah, I’m on top of the world, just you and me,
Facing life together, where love’s meant to be,
So here’s my heart, it’s yours to hold,
I’m on top of the world, and baby, that’s gold.

Angels in the Saucer Light

I was sittin’ on my porch ‘bout a quarter past two,
Moon hangin’ low, sky split open blue.
Saw a silver shadow slide across the night,
Had me wonderin’, Lord, what’s wrong and what’s right.

Some folks say angels got wings of pure gold,
Some say aliens ridin’ ships cold as stone.
But when that light hit my weary eyes,
I swear heaven and space shook hands in the sky.

Preacher say pray, scientist say wait,
Bluesman just feel what he can’t explain.
If angels hum hymns and UFOs glide,
Why can’t they both be on the same ride?

Some folks say angels watch over me,
Some say strangers from another galaxy.
But when that night wind whispered my name,
Sounded like mercy, sounded like flame.

Grandma said, “Child, don’t fear the unknown,
God made more rooms than you ever been shown.”
If there’s life out there beyond this dust,
Then angels and aliens both come with trust.

Some folks say angels got eyes that can see,
Some say they’re just tales for you and me.
But when that light danced like fireflies,
I felt a connection, no more goodbyes.

So I’m gonna keep lovin’, I’m gonna keep prayin’,
For the mysteries out there and the songs they’re sayin’.
Whether in the heavens or riding the stars,
Angels in the saucer light ain’t too far.

I’ll be sittin’ on my porch, guitar in hand,
Waiting for the night and the sacred band.
With a heart wide open, let it take flight,
To the rhythm and blues of the saucer light.

Island Blues Feels So Good

I came down with a heavy heart, had the long road on my mind,
Gray skies follow me everywhere, trouble always right behind.
Then the sun hit my face in Jamaica, felt my worries start to slide,
Palm trees whisperin’ secrets, sayin’ “Man, just let it ride.”

Got them Island Blues feel so good, they don’t weigh me down,
Ocean breeze keep time with me, like a slow blues sound.
Friendly faces everywhere, warm smiles when I roam,
Yeah, these Island Blues feel so good, Jamaica feel like home.
I really love the Island Blues… Island Blues.

People here don’t rush the clock, they let the moment breathe,
Shake your hand like they mean it, say “Respect,” and they believe.
Laughter driftin’ through the air, like a tune I always knew,
Even my blues start dancin’ when the sky turns that deep blue.

Every sunrise paints my spirit anew,
With each wave crashin' down, it feels like it's true.
It’s the rhythm in my soul, it’s the song in my heart,
Island blues healin’ wounds, givin’ me a brand new start.

Sunset paints the horizon, in colors bold and bright,
Music of the island plays, fills up the starry night.
Friends gather ‘round the fire, share stories of their lives,
With each laugh, we lift each other, feel that joy arise.

So here’s to the rhythm that carries me on,
With a heart that’s been mended, I’ll sing this song.
For every lost soul seeking peace in the night,
Just follow the island blues, and you’ll find your light.

Wizards

Met a wizard down by the crossroads,
Moon hangin’ low like a rusted spoon.
One minute he a gray old raven,
Next minute he a man hummin’ midnight tunes.

Got them shape-shiftin’ blues, yeah,
Skin don’t stay the same.
Some folks change their feathers,
Some folks change their name.

Saw a woman in the firelight,
Eyes like polished jade.
She smiled and turned to silver fox,
Lord, that kind of magic make a preacher afraid.

Got them shape-shiftin’ blues, yeah,
Skin don’t stay the same.
Some folks change their feathers,
Some folks change their name.

Dancing shadows under the old oak tree,
Whispers in the wind tellin’ tales of lore.
A spell is cast, and the night’s alive,
With every beat, my heart begins to soar.
In a world where the ordinary turns divine,
Embrace the unknown, let your spirit thrive.
Wizards and wonders, where dreams align,
Feel the rhythm, let the magic come alive.

Got them shape-shiftin’ blues, yeah,
Skin don’t stay the same.
Some folks change their feathers,
Some folks change their name.

Now I’m riding this old highway,
Chasing stars, feeling the spark.
With every turn, find the light inside,
It’s a soulful journey, igniting the dark.

So meet me down where the wild winds blow,
We’ll sing our song 'neath a luminous glow.
With wizards and dreams dancing through the night,
Together we’ll chase that sweet guiding light.

I Want to be Your Valentine

Clock on the wall keep tappin’ time,
Coffee gone cold, but I don’t mind.
You walk by my desk, heart miss a beat,
I rehearse 'hello' but it stay in my seat.

You laugh with the light like it’s nothin’ at all,
Got a way of leanin’ when you answer a call.
I know your schedule better than my own name,
But courage don’t clock in, it call in sick again.

I want to be your Valentine,
Don’t need no card, don’t need no sign.
Just one slow chance, one honest line,
But my voice keep hidin’ behind these ties.
Yeah, I want to be your Valentine,
But I’m shy as a shadow at quittin’ time.

I type your name, then I backspace twice,
Play it cool, try to act real nice.
Cupid must be laughin’ in the breakroom hall,
’Cause I fall in love every time you stall.

I see you pack up, Friday at five,
Got a thousand words, not one arrive.
If love was paper, I’d write it all night,
But face to face, I can’t get it right.

In the dim light where the shadows play,
I’m dreamin’ of words I just can’t say.
Every coffee break feels like a chance,
To make my move, to start a dance.

I want to be your Valentine,
Don’t need no card, don’t need no sign.
Just one slow chance, one honest line,
But my voice keeps hidin’ behind these ties.
Yeah, I want to be your Valentine,
But I’m shy as a shadow at quittin’ time.

The clock strikes six, and I’ve lost my chance,
You’re gone like a wish, without a glance.
But come Monday mornin’, I’ll find the strength,
To break these chains, to go the full length.

So here’s to the shy, to the hearts that yearn,
I’ll wear my courage, let my passion burn.
I want to be your Valentine, can’t you see?
With every heartbeat, it’s you and me.

We are Girl Happy

Well now…
Some folks chase money…
Some folks chase fame…
But me and my boys got a much simpler game…

We walked into the diner, boots squeakin’ on the floor,
Waitress said “What you want?” — I forgot what I came for.
Buddy kicked my ankle, said “Boy don’t you stare,”
But my brain packed its suitcase and vanished in the air.

Doctor says it’s serious, ain’t no remedy,
Says I suffer permanent girl-related memory loss disease.

We are girl happy, don’t know what to do,
Wallet gets lighter every time one walks in view,
We are girl happy, logic disappears,
Confidence goes missin’, but the smile’s from ear to ear.

Tried to play it cool, leaned back in my chair,
Chair gave up the struggle — dumped me in despair.
She laughed so sweet I almost planned our life,
Picked baby names and a dog… hadn’t asked her to be my wife.

Buddy said “You falling fast,” I said “That ain’t true,”
But I’m trippin’ on my heart, can’t get a clue.

We are girl happy, don’t know what to do,
Wallet gets lighter every time one walks in view,
We are girl happy, logic disappears,
Confidence goes missin’, but the smile’s from ear to ear.

Hit the dance floor, started shakin’ my groove,
Every twirl and spin just let my heart move.
She caught my eye, and the whole room spun,
Thought my buddies were jokin’ — guess they were right, hon.

Doctor says I’m smitten, need a remedy,
But this condition feels like sweet ecstasy.

We are girl happy, don’t know what to do,
Wallet gets lighter every time one walks in view,
We are girl happy, logic disappears.

Livin' in the USA

Sun comin’ up on a gravel road,
Coffee steam from a cracked-cup stove,
Radio singin’ an old soul song,
Tryin’ to make this paycheck last all month long.

Boots by the door, dust on my name,
Dreams get heavy but I carry the flame.
Ain’t got riches, ain’t got fame,
But freedom whispers just the same.

I’ve seen the struggle, I’ve felt the rain,
Still found hope in the middle of pain.

I’m livin’ in the USA,
Where broken hearts still find a way,
Between the shadows and the light,
We keep on pushin’, we keep on fightin’.
Yeah, the road gets rough, the night gets long,
But every voice still sings its song,
Through the tears and the grace,
I’m livin’ in the USA.

City lights and a small town bar,
Stories travel but wounds stay scarred.
Mama prayin’ at the kitchen chair,
Tryin’ to believe somebody’s listenin’ somewhere.

Neighbors help when the storm rolls in,
Kindness stronger than the fear within.
We don’t always agree on the view,
But this land lets us make our story new.

Each day’s a battle, a dance we learn,
Still, we rise when the day returns.

With laughter and tears, we pave our way,
Together through nights turned into day,
Every struggle’s just a step that we take,
In this land of dreams, there’s so much at stake.

Surprise

I was playin’ in the corner of a half-empty bar,
Tip jar lookin’ lonely next to my old guitar.
Bartender yawned, said “Kid you play nice,”
Then a stranger hit the jukebox and played me twice.
Next thing I know, the room starts to rise,
Everybody laughin’, sayin’ “What a surprise!”

Surprise! Didn’t see that comin’ my way,
Yesterday’s trouble turned into payday,
Surprise! Life got rhythm in disguise,
One door slams and another one flies,
I was singin’ the blues to get by…
Now the whole world singin’ Surprise!

My car broke down outside of Baton Rouge,
Only thing workin’ was my beat-up blues.
Tow truck driver said “Man you got soul,”
Next night I’m playin’ on the radio.
Funny how life will improvise,
When you least expect it… surprise!

Pour me a whiskey, let it drown my fears,
Laughter in the air, dryin’ up the tears.
Got a melody in my heart that feels so right,
From the shadows of a corner to the center stage light.
Life’s a song that twists and turns,
A soulful rhythm that teaches and learns.

So lift your glass to the highs and lows,
Life’s a journey, anything goes.
With a beat in my heart and the moon up high,
I’ll keep playin’ the blues, let the world sing “Surprise!”

The Truth About Aliens

I have a strange marked past,
In a world that moved way too fast,
Tried to traverse time, yeah, I’ll confess,
Just a kid in a nursery rhyme, feeling the stress.

So pardon my intimate indiscretion,
Talkative for my age, always with a confession,
But I couldn’t take the phage,
When I uncovered the truth, I flipped the page.

The truth about aliens, let me tell you tonight,
Suppressing the stories, trying to dim the light.
They’re not like homo sapiens, oh no, not at all,
I’ll scream it in stadiums, let the truth stand tall.

The government wants us dead,
For the things I’ve read,
'Cause I know way too much about their deeds,
Not talking 'bout the Pennsylvania Dutch or desperate needs.

The aliens I’ve met, they’re kind, it’s true,
The smartest you can find, my friend, it’s you.
Underneath Mount Shasta, they’re waiting on the rise,
Way south of Alaska, hidden from our eyes.

The truth about aliens, drifting in the night,
They communicate with their minds, with wisdom in their sight.
Angry is not their word, just fear that we’ve heard,
But open your heart wide, and let the truth be stirred.

What they want is for us to see,
A world full of love, not hostility,

Instead of hiding, let’s open the door,
To cosmic connections and an endless rapport.

So if you feel scared, just look in the sky,
The stars are reflecting our hopes get high,
All the fears that they feed, they’re wrong, can’t you see?
That’s why I wrote this song, to set our hearts free.

The truth about aliens, waiting for our call,
They’re here to uplift us, not to make us fall.
Let the world awaken, let the stories be told,
Through blues and through rock, watch the truth unfold.

So sing it loud, let it echo tonight,
The truth about aliens, bringing us to light.
We’ll rise from the shadows, with spirits unbound,
Together united, in truth we’re found.

Heartbeat of Humanity

I heard a drum in the distance, like thunder in my chest,
Beatin’ through the ages, never takin’ rest.
From the first spark of fire to the last falling tear,
It’s the sound of every story sayin’, “I was here.”

We built our towers high on dreams and doubt,
Painted skies with questions we still ain’t figured out,
But underneath the chaos, in the hush between the screams,
There’s a rhythm hummin’ softly in the seams.

It’s the heartbeat of humanity,
Echoes through eternity,
From the cradle to the grave, we rise and fall like the sea.
Oh, the heartbeat of humanity,
Cryin’ out for unity,
If we listen close enough, it’s singin’ you and me.

Saw a man on the corner with the world in his hands,
Tryin’ to trade his sorrow for a one-night stand.
Saw a mother prayin’ to a sky gone gray,
Beggin’ for a better world to find its way.

We chase after shadows dressed in gold and fame,
Build our lives around a temporary name,
But deep in our souls, we know what we lack,
It’s a heartbeat of togetherness, takin’ our lives back.

So let the guitar wail, let the drums ring true,
Feel the pulse of the people, me and you,
In the heart of the city, on the wide-open plains,
We’re united in this rhythm, it courses in our veins.

So join the refrain, let it carry us home,
Wherever we wander, we’re never alone,
We’ll dance through the trials, through the highs and the lows,
To the heartbeat of humanity, it’s the love that still grows.

Let's Get Real

Got a thousand “friends” livin’ inside my phone,
But this old house still echoes when I’m alone.
They like my smile, they love my highlight reel,
But they don’t know the way a quiet heart can feel.
Got filters on my coffee, filters on my face,
Polishin’ a version just to win a nameless race.
But across this table, in this dim porch light,
Truth don’t need a caption—it just shows up right.

Let’s get real, put the phones face down,
Hear the creak of these chairs, not the noise of a crowd.
Pass the bread, pass the time, pass what we feel,
No emojis in the room when we’re keepin’ it real.
No act to rehearse, no image to steal,
Just flesh and bone love—yeah, let’s get real.

Saw a man sell dreams he never even lived,
Preachin’ perfect lives that he don’t really give.
Got a million views, but no one knows his name,
When the lights go down, it’s a lonesome kind of fame.
I’ve been guilty too, playin’ dress-up online,
Chasin’ hearts with a post that’s polished to shine.
But here in this moment, let’s take off the masks,
Dig deep in the heart—let’s forget all the tasks.

Life ain’t all filtered, it’s rugged and raw,
Embracin’ the chaos and givin’ it awe.
So let’s raise our glasses to the highs and the lows,
To the laughter and tears that nobody knows.

So here’s to the friends who’ll hold you tight,
When the world outside dims, and the stars shine bright.
Let’s keep it simple, let’s make it a deal,
In a world full of filters, let’s just keep it real.
