Welcome to Danny's Page

  Hi folks...These personal pages are a place for Tim and I to say exactly what's on our minds in any way we choose. It will be the only places on this website where we might relate personal and political views and our opinions about anything that strikes our fancy. It will not be all moaning and groaning political stuff. I'll opine as I wish and I will also write very interesting personal pieces and stories. I also will use this page as a daily journal when we're on tour so that I can share with you what's going on etc....It will be interesting to watch these Personal Pages develop over the coming months. Please come back often and feel free to leave a blog about anything I might have to say...no blogs will be deleted just because we may not agree. One thing I can assure you.....it won't be boring in here...!

;)
Danny

"Lyrics......Black As Love"

"Lyrics....Black As Love"                   

 

You know I'm gonna need you

In the mornin' when I rise

You know I'm never gonna leave you

Your sweet caress will open my eyes

.. ..

chorus:

Black as the Devil

Hot as hell

Pure as an angel

Sweet as love

Your dark embrace is all I need

To set me free

.. ..

I feel you hover 'round my bed tonight

Like some siren from the eastern sky

If I don't have you soon I'll go insane

Your black venom runnin' through my veins

.. ..

repeat choruses:

Green River

 

Sometimes I forget to see

Life’s bein’ real good to me

Breathin’ easy is comin’ naturally

Like takin’ candy from a baby

 

Walkin’ down the street

Try to smile at everyone I meet

Then I saw her standin’ on the corner that day

Like a kitty in the gutter makes another man pay

 

I think of the times that we spent by the river

We shined in the light of the silvery moon

The days were slow and the nights were longer

Little did I know that it would be over soon

 

Now she finds her way into another mans pocket

Gotta buy the fuel so she can fly all alone

I hate to let her go but I sure do miss her

The little girl inside of her won’t be back soon

 

chorus:

I miss the Green River

Shining in the light of a silvery moon

I miss the Green River

I hate to see her leavin’ but that’s the way it goes

I hate to see her leavin’ but that’s the way it goes

Shelby Street

 

If I take you to my house, you would not be impressed

The bathroom smells of late last night and the kitchen is a mess

If I don’t make my bed up, it’s not that I don’t care

There just may be some action on that fine old bridge down there

 

I don’t pay the IRS , I really know I should

But right now I’m a hundred-aire and it’s feelin’ mighty good

And if I take you for a ride, across that river deep

You might think I’m crazy ‘cause it’s all the world to me

 

Chorus:

Guess I’ll go around and round

‘til I can’t stop my feet

Sometimes the world goes upside down

There on Shelby Street, down there on Shelby Steet

 

I really hate to go downtown

At all you know these days

And be turned down by some pretty girl

In a stinkin’ barroom haze

 

I may not be a modern man

But that’s alright with me

We’ll fire our rockets with the wind

And go swingin’ through the trees

“Voice of an Angel”

 

You, let me love you tonight

Let me hold you in my dreams

And I, as I watch you sleep

I hear the voice of an angel callin’ me

Come to me, come to me

 

I, as I walk alone

And I take your hand in mine

And I would fly, to the moon for you

But it ain’t time for me to leave this place

I miss your face, come back to me

 

And you, as you slip away

As you rise above I fall

Down, to this earthly place

I hang my hat alone when I get home

And you’re gone……….

 

You, let me love you tonight

Let me hold you in my dreams

And I, as I watch you sleep

I hear the voice of an angel callin’ me

Come to me, come to me

“Hillbilly Hollywood

 

Leaving California like a buffalo runnin’

The stars don’t shine so bright no more

Hollywood and Vine just ain’t the place it used to be

Ten million faces on the cutting room floor

 

Lookin’ out the window at the concrete jungle

New York streets ain’t no place for me

The fishin’ really sucks on the Staten Island ferry

Take me back to a Tennessee stream

 

Chorus:

Hillbilly Hollywood

Where the dreamers come and go

It’s the land of milk and honey

Hillbilly Hollywood

 

Way down yonder in the bayou country

They mix their liquor with crawfish tails

Dancin’ in the light of a silvery moon

The squeezebox laughs the fiddle it wails

 

Mr. Bill standin’ on bluegrass mountain

Listen to his songs and the storys they told

Watchin’ people come and go from Music City

The streets he left are paved with gold

“My Baby Thinks I’m Great”

 

My baby loves me, my baby thinks I’m great

My baby loves me, my baby thinks I’m great

When she wakes up in the mornin’

The newspaper’s at her feet

 

Hair like a raven, skin so pale and sweet

She got hair like a raven, skin so pale and sweet

Lips that taste like honey

Those big brown eyes they bring me to my knees

 

I’m crazy ‘bout my baby

My baby’s crazy ‘bout me

My baby thinks I’m crazy

My baby’s crazy ‘bout me

Baby drives me crazy when she throws the scent on me

 

She moves like molasses, when she dances for me

She moves like molasses, when she dances for me

When she slides across the hardwood

Girl is gonna set me free

 

I called my baby, on her telephone

I called my baby, asked her when she’s comin’ home

She said I’m kinda tied up now

But I’ll be movin’ along

 

My baby loves me, my baby thinks I’m great

My baby loves me, my baby thinks I’m great

When she wakes up in the mornin’

The newspaper’s at her feet

Shacktown Road

 

There’s a dirty little corner on the south end of town

Where the people are getting’ ready, gonna tear it all down

The air is hot but your blood will run cold

If your mama ever catch ya down on Shacktown Road

 

Chorus:

Shacktown Road, lord that’s where I wanna go

Everybody wants to go, down there to Shacktown Road

 

Wendy’s on the corner sellin’ love at first site

Jackie will take you to the parkin’ lot, gonna make you feel right

Bubba’s on the pulpit, gonna play ya some blues

Down on Shacktown Road, ya gonna hear all of the news

 

My mama told me son you better stay away from there

There ain’t nothin’ but trouble on that street of despair

All the trouble I’ve seen around this whole wide world

Can’t compare to the business down there on Shacktown Road

“The Fire”

 

How do you feel in the middle of the night

When I’m not there to hold you tight

I can tell ‘ya for a fact that I’m feelin’ rather lonely

I need so much my soul is burnin’

 

I want, I need you, you know that gotta have ‘ya

And I’ll be there when the time is needed

All I feel is a very warm desire

I’m getting’ closer to home I can feel your fire

 

Chorus:

Oooo…..

Oooo…..

Oooo…..

Without you……..

 

I never knew that I could feel like this

And I don’t wanna know if any others ever exist

I love the way you dance around my fire

I need you inside my soul right now it’s wired

 

I’m gonna take you all night long my baby

I wantcha right now girl your’re drivin’ me crazy

Please c’mon back into my fold my darlin’

I can’t wait no more to feel your guns a-firing

 

I can’t sleep

With out you………

“We Got Work To Do”

 

Chorus:

We got work to do, we got work to do

Sweet Jesus take me by the hand

Goanna spread the word all across the land

We got work to do, yeah we got work to do

 

In this world of war and hate

We gonna need your strength just to open up the gate

And let your love come pourin’ through

I feel the light shine on me and you

 

Yeah I know that Jesus when you tell me

We gotta love one another if we wanna be free

I think of the children when they sleep at night

I know your gonna make everything alright

 

Every child every woman every natural born man

We gotta walk with Jesus at his right hand

When the whole world listens to what you say

Tomorrow’s gonna be the glory day
