She's got long red hair 
down to her thighs
She'll seduce you 
with her bedroom eyes
When she kisses 
you on the lips
You can kiss 
kiss your heart goodbye

She's a redheaded babe
She's a redheaded babe
She's my redheaded babe
She's the most beautiful girl
That God ever made

She's got curves 
like a 69 corvette
The way she moves 
cause a man to break a sweat
She's likes to play 
with a pair of loaded dice
She's made many a man 
a lose their bet

She's a redheaded babe
She's a redheaded babe
She's my redheaded babe
She's the most beautiful girl
That God ever made

(GUITAR SOLO)

She's got curves 
like a 69 corvette
The way she moves 
cause a man to break a sweat
She's likes to play 
with a pair of loaded dice
She's made many a man 
a lose their bet

She's a redheaded babe
She's a redheaded babe
She's my redheaded babe
She's the most beautiful girl
That God ever made

I was inspired to write this song when I became homeless and lived in
my car for about a month, the month of December, a few years ago. Below
is a picture of me in the car I slept in, the 1987 BMW 325i Red Convertible.
It was pretty cold in that car. The lyrics to the song pretty much explains it.

TARNISHED CROWN

When I woke up this morning
My girl accused me of being a liar and a cheat
When I woke up this morning
My girl accused me of being a liar and a cheat
She called the cops
Man she put me out on the street

Now I'm sleeping in my car
Out in the freezing snow
Now I'm sleeping in my car
Out in the freezing snow
Ain't got no money, got no friends
Lord I ain't got nowhere to go

(spoken: That woman done tore my kingdom down)

I'm just another lost soul
Waiting to be found
I'm just another lost soul
Waiting to be found
Now I drive these streets
Like a king with a tarnished crown

THE BLUES IS WHAT YOU GOT

The blues is what you got
When all your money's on the table and you're holding a losing hand
The blues is what you got
When the woman you love, she leaves you for another man

The blues is what you got
When the sun's shining for everyone, except for you and your black cloud
The blues is what you got
When you've lost all your friends, and you find yourself alone in a crowd

The blues is the truth
The blues is real
The blues is the soul of a man
The blues is how I feel

The blues is what you got
When you're looking for love in other places, but it just ain't the same
The blues is what you got
When nobody can see your tears because, you're crying in the rain

KEEPING THE BLUES BLUE

Some people tell me
That the Texas clique is hard to break
Some people tell me
That the Texas clique is hard to break
But I'm gonna keep on crawlin'
Just like a crawlin' king snake

Some people tell me
That I got a long hard road ahead
Some people tell me
That I got a long hard road ahead
But I'm gonna keep on playin' these blues
Until my body's six feet under, cold and dead

Some people tell me
That my dream will never come true
Some people tell me
That my dream will never come true
But I'm gonna keep on
Keepin' the blues blue

Some people tell me
That I got a long hard road ahead
Some people tell me
That I got a long hard road ahead
But I'm gonna keep on playin' these blues
Until my body's six feet under, cold and dead

Some people tell me
That my dream will never come true
Some people tell me
That my dream will never come true
But I'm gonna keep on
Keepin' the blues blue

LADIES MAN

If your man is doing you wrong
If he treats you mean
I said if your man is doing you wrong
Lord if he treats you mean
Then come on over to my castle
And I'll treat you like a queen

Soft music, champagne and candlelight
I know how to treat a lady right
Soft music, champagne and candlelight
I really know how to treat a lady right
Honey you can cry on my shoulder
And I'll make everything, everything all right

They call me the ladies man
Romeo Rose is my name
I said they call me the ladies man
Romeo Rose is my name
Womens are attracted to me
Just like moths to a flame

You better treat your woman right
Or I'm gonna take her away from you
If you don't treat your woman right
Man I'm gonna take her away from you
She may be your wife
But she's coming home with me tonight

To be loved by a real man
Loved by a real man
A real man like me

That money can't buy
I got everything it takes
To keep a girl like you satisfied
A girl like you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied

Your other guy
And come home with me
Come home with me
Come on home with me

BELIEVER OUT OF YOU

I wants you so bad
The things you do are making me hot
I need some of that
Some of that good stuff that you got

Every time I see you my heart skips a beat
Your good looks take my breath away
I wanna take you home with me
But you won't give me the time of day

I've got a pocket full of Voodoo
And I'm gonna keep on workin' my magic
Until I make a believer out of you
I'm gonna make a believer out of you
I'll make a believer out of you

I wants you so bad
The things you do are making me hot
I need some of that
Some of that good stuff that you got

Every time I see you my heart skips a beat
Your good looks take my breath away
I wanna take you home with me
But you won't give me the time of day

I've got a pocket full of Voodoo
And I'm gonna keep on workin' my magic
Until I make a believer out of you
I'm gonna make a believer out of you
I'll make a believer out of you

I wrote this song about my Great Grandmother who raised me and bought me my
 first guitar when I was about 5 years old. She died a few years ago from cancer,
 and I was looking at this old photo of her on her Indian motorcycle
 and it inspired me to write this song.


MOTORCYCLE WOMAN

Cherokee blood, Canadian liquer, and a loaded pistol
Playin' poker with Al Capone
She taught us how to live life
Before our time here is gone

Now she's riding on her Indian with the angels
Up and down streets paved with gold
Reunited with loved ones
So many stories still left to be told

Motorcycle woman
Meet me in the clouds above the sky
Motorcycle woman
Show me the way to Heaven be my guide
Motorcycle woman
Spread your wings and teach me how to fly

DEAD END JOB BLUES

I've been talkin' to deadbeats all day long
Tryin' to make them pay their bill over the phone
I'm so tired of workin' this job
Man I just wanna go home

I got them dead end job blues
Lord I got them dead end job blues
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout peoples
'Cause if you work here you got 'em too

Ten hours a day staring at this computer screen
This kinda job just ain't my kind of scene
My boss is always on my back
Lord it makes me wanna scream

I got them dead end job blues
Lord I got them dead end job blues
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout peoples
'Cause if you work here you got 'em too

BORN WITH THE BLUES

I was born with the blues in my blood
You know I was born with the blues in my blood
And when I leave this world
You can cover my grave with the Mississippi mud

You can bury me with my guitar when I die
I said bury me with my guitar when I die
Lord I'm gonna be jammin'
With Howlin' Wolf in a juke joint up in the sky

I was born with the blues in my blood
You know I was born with the blues in my blood
And when I leave this world
You can cover my grave with the Mississippi mud

You can bury me with my guitar when I die
I said bury me with my guitar when I die
Lord I'm gonna be jammin'
With Howlin' Wolf in a juke joint up in the sky

DROWNING IN THE BLUES

I can feel the blues
Coming on like a heart attack
Lord I can feel the blues
Coming on like a heart attack
I'm gonna leave this mean old world
And I ain't never, ever coming back

I can't stand to suffer another day with this pain
No I just can't stand to suffer another day with this pain
Tomorrow has nothing to offer
But more of the same

There ain't no way you can help me now
No matter what you say or do
It's too late, it's too late
I'm already drowning in the blues

SLOW DANCE

I never meant to hurt you so bad
I'll do anything for another chance,
At that Sunday kind of love we had
Put on some music and I'll light the candles,
And we can have another slow dance

The moon and the stars are shining down from above
Etta James, is singin' our song, on the radio
Remember last week, you and I, so much in love
Give me one more, slow dance, and I'll never, ever, let you go

Let me, hold you close in our bed
And I'll carress your body with these big strong hands
When I kiss your tears away, no more will be shed
Honey, if you just, just let me, have this slow dance

The moon and the stars are shining down from above
Etta James, is singin' our soung, on the radio
Remember last week, you and I, so much in love
Give me one more, slow dance, and I'll never, ever, let you go

The Story Behind My Song Tattoos Of You...

When most people get a tattoo of their girlfriend, they do it while they
are still in a relationship with the girl. Most People. Most of those people
just get the girls name tattoo'd on them. Again, most people. Most people
that get a tattoo actually like tattoos. That's most people. But that's not me,
I'm not like most people.

When my girlfriend broke up with me, I decided to do something I don't
particulary care to do, in order to prove my love and try to win her heart back.
Her name wouldn't be good enough, I had to get her whole portrait tattoo'd 
covering the upper part of my arm.

So the guy I went to to get it done did a terrible job. So then three days later
I went to another tattoo artist and had her portrait tattoo'd on my other arm, 
this one turned out excellent.

So a couple months later I emailed the Judge Judy TV Show, sent them pics and told them the 
story. Two weeks later the excutive producer called me and sent me round trip tickets
to come be on the show. I lost my case, but the show was fun to be on, I got paid to be on the
show, they paid for my hotel, food, transportation, etc for three days. It was fun being in L.A. as
it always is.

After more time had passed I was looking at my tattoo one day and it just inspired
me to write this song. A picture of my GOOD tattoo is below.

TATTOOS OF YOU

Some say beauty is only skin deep
I hear some say beauty is only skin deep
But I don't care what they say
My heart is yours to keep

Tattoos of you
Remind me, of the crazy things
That love makes a man do

I'll do anything it takes to make all your dreams come true
I'm gonna do whatever it takes to make your dreams come true
Just a little bit of love
Can make a old soul feel like new

Tattoos of you
Remind me, of the crazy things
That love makes a man do

KING OF THE JUNGLE

I'm the king
The king of the jungle
When we throw down
You gonna feel the Earth rumble
'Cause I'm the king
King of the jungle

I got a temper hotter than four hundred Hells
You sho don't wanna get on my bad side
I got a temper hotter than four hundred Hells
You sho don't wanna get on my bad side
I'll get so evil
I'll make the devil run and hide

If I catch you with my woman
You bound to lose your life
If I catch you with my woman
You bound to lose your life
I'll stab you in the back
Cut you to peices with a switchblade knife

I'm the king
The king of the jungle
When we throw down
You gonna feel the Earth rumble
'Cause I'm the king
King of the jungle

CAN'T GET ENOUGH

If your woman ain't gettin' satisfaction at home
It's only a matter of time before she starts to raom
You better listen to what I'm sayin'
Or one mornin' you gonna wake up all alone

Sometimes she likes it gentle
And sometimes she likes it rough
Oh, when your woman's with me
Let me tell ya, she just can't get enough

I can make love
From sun up 'till sundown
I can make love
From sun up 'till sundown
All the woman know
I'm the best lover in town

GHOSTS OF CHI-TOWN

Take me back to a time and place
Where the soul of a man never dies
Take me back to a time and place
Where the soul of a man never dies
Ghosts of Chi-Town
Will haunt me until the day I die

The two kings of Chicago
The Howlin Wolf and a Muddy Waters
Taught me everything I know

Sonny Boy, Little Walter, and Junior Wells
Blowin' their harps
Like a train rollin' down the rails

Maxwell Street was one hell of a scene
It was the place they played the blues
Lowdown, dirty and mean

Take me back to a time and place
Where the soul of a man never dies
Take me back to a time and place
Where the soul of a man never dies
Ghosts of Chi-Town
Will haunt me until the day I die

 YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BLUES IS ABOUT

(spoken: I thought I was down, until I met this lady who'd really been around.
I thought I had the blues, until she told me how it feels, to have nothing left to lose.)

She told me, you don't know, what the blues is about
She said, you don't know, what the blues is really all about
But one day, one of these days
You're gonna find out

I lost my innocence in a cheap motel
Beaten, raped and left for dead
Each scar has a story to tell

Trading my hopes and dreams for another line
One dead end road after another
It's just like the blind leading the blind

I wonder if this pain will ever end
Sometimes when I lay down to sleep
I don't ever, ever wanna wake up again

Trying to find salvation in a cheap bottle of wine
Selling my soul out here on these streets
Selling it one peice at a time

Until your arms have been covered in tracks
Until you've been strung out on smack
Until you've been through hell and back

She told me, you don't know, what the blues is about
She said, you don't know, what the blues is really all about
But one day, one of these days
You're gonna find out

Another John cheatin' on his wife
Another trick going down bad
Another workin' girl has lost her life

"Rain"

It's been pourin the rain
Lord it's been pourin' down the rain
Ever since you left me
You left me alone with my pain

But it can't rain all the time
No it can't rain all the time
cause when i see your face again
the sun is bound to shine

I've been waiting for this moment so long
Lord I've beem waiting for this moment so long
To have you back in my arms
Right here where you belong
