Tragic times of Jesse and Johnny.


Johnny was alone and scared on the side of the highway.
It had been days since his last meal and he had gotten away.
He remember the dark days and the pain of the beatings.
The look on his Dads face and his rage and his drinking.

Jesse drove in tears running from the memories.
To many days and to many nights trapped on her knees.
Without a word she would do whatever Slick told her.
Cause if she didn't she knew Slick would only break her.


All the times she would dream.
All the times he would hide.
Dreams of a normal life.

When the pain would subside.
Dreams of a sunny day.
And not a place where she cried.
When he won't runaway.
Where they won't have to hide.

As the rain poured on Johnny held out his thumb.
Freedom was out there and he had to get him some.
One more car one more truck so many miles more to go.
Maybe Hollywood or LA somewhere warm where he could grow.

Bags packed in the back and dreams alive in her eyes.
Jesse cried as she drove in Slicks stolen full size.
Up ahead on the side she saw a shivering soul.
She pulled over and smiled to get him out of the cold.

All the times she would dream.
All the times he would hide.
Dreams of a normal life.
When the pain would subside.
Dreams of a sunny day.
And not a place where she cried.
When he won't runaway.
Where they won't have to hide.

As danger rode their way cause no runs from Slick.
She couldn't run from him. Where was her logic.
With pedal to the metal and .45 in hand.
She'd pay for what she did, She'd follow his command.

His Mustang was in sight, he bore down on the gas.
She tried to get away but he'd never let her pass.
Bumpers crashed sparks flew he ran her off the road.
Slick saw her hit the wall, he saw the car explode.

All the times she would dream.
All the times he would hide.
Dreams of a normal life.
When the pain would subside.
Dreams of a sunny day.
And not a place where she cried.
When he won't runaway.
Where they won't have to hide.

Slick tossed his gun he had to run and try and get away.
But people saw what he had done and now he had to pay.
Flashing lights chased after him he was backed against the wall.
20 to life double homicide this time Slick had to fall.

All the times she would dream.
All the times he would hide.
Dreams of a normal life.
When the pain would subside.
Dreams of a sunny day.
And not a place where she cried.
When he won't runaway.
Where they won't have to hide.

Love's Stain.

For every sad song a single teardrop falls.
For all the broken dreams and all the downfalls.
For every teardrop a heart can break.
For all the heartbreak and all you forsake.
For all the nights alone staring into the dark.
For every candle lost without a spark.
For the beacons that search for the lost and the found.
For the unbalanced souls that can't find their ground.

For the ups and the downs and in and out.
For all those alone who just want to shout.
For the numbers in pain that cry in the night.
For the wrongs we all dream that we could make right.
There's time and forgiving and accepting loves stain.
For hopes and prayers that love will always reign.

Happy Days.

There are dreams and there are visions.
There are wishes and requests.
There are gifts and surprises and moments to remember.
There are times to smile and days that live forever.
To you I send songs of hope and lyrics to fall in love by.
To you I send dreams of happy days and romantic nights forever.

Magic.

I bring magic and wonder.
I bring love in the night.
I bring thunder and lightning.
I bring things to make it right.
--------------------------------------------------
I bring laughter and tears.
I bring hope and relief.
When doubt cries your name.
I show you trust and belief.
--------------------------------------------------
We have faith and compassion.
We have agony and fear.
We have lost and regret.
And all you hold dear.

-------------------------------------------------
We have time to make love.
And hold each other tight.
We have an everlasting bond.
We are magic in night.
