You’re So Fine
You’re so fine, so fine
Girl, you drive e wild
You’ve got to be mine, all mine
Can’t you see it child
You knock me to my knees
‘cause you’re so fine
You’re so fine, so fine
You’re too much to believe
You got to be mine, all mine
It’s just meant to be
Baby don’t you know
How I love you so
‘cause you’re so fine
I’m gonna give you bear hug
Show you what I’m made of
Tickle you until you cry
Just to see your sweet smile
I would walk a country mile
Baby, just to make you mine
‘cause you’re so fine

The Wailing Wind
Hear the wailing wind
Sing its sad sad song
Now I have to take it for my own
Hear the wailing wind
Crying all alone
Somewhere it has strength to carry on
Can’t you hear me crying
Underneath the full moon, trying to carry on
Hear the wailing wind
Whipping through the hills
Roads not taken calling to you still
Here the wailing wind
Chills you to the bone
Leaving you abandoned heart and soul
Can’t you hear me screaming
Now I know the meaning of its song

Boogie Man
written by: Donald Ray Fischer
On the Jackson Plantation on the Texas Gulf Coast
Standing on the lake at midnight you can feel the ghosts
Beneath the Spanish moss that hangs from old oaks trees
When the wing blows through the ruins you can hear their screams
chorus:
You can see the devils dancing in the cool moonlight
You can see their fires a burning way into the night
Don't get to curious, Don't get yourself in a jam
When you hear the drums a singing that's the boogie man
One Jackson brother killed the other in a horrible fight
Chopped off his head into the water on that horrible night
And if you're foolish enough to be there way to late
You'll see him searching for his head a floating 'cross the lake
chorus
When that time of year came 'round there'd be a dare
To climb the gates under the moon and spend the night out there
Amongst the twisting and the turning of the monkey vines
We'd wait in silence scared to death of what we'd fine

Young LOve
Written by Donald Ray Fischer
Shattered glass and roses scattered on the ground
Broken promises, love here was not found
Hear their hearts they yearn, still to have their day
Young love, it dies hard
Young love, it dies hard
Hear the crowd it roars as you walk away
Still, you yearn to hear it as summer turns grey
Feel the heart it yearns still to have its day
Young love, it dies hard
Young love, it dies hard
There was magic everywhere
There was music in the air
Lord, I know there was
How it seems so long ago
How I hate to let it go
Though I know I must
Were they fools to think love could light the way
Simple children all, I still hear you say
Heed their hearts they yearn still to have their day
Young love, it dies hard
Young love, it dies hard

If Love is Real
Written by Doanld Ray Fischer
Every little hurt
Every little heartache
Every little cut
Always brings a soul shake
But if love is real, It can last a long, long time
Every little pin
Every little setback
Every time it rains
It may knock your head back
But if love is real, it can last a long, long time
Who said it would be easy
Who said it would be kind
Who said that it’d be roses all the time
So cool down babe, let’s stop this hurting thing
We’ve still got enough love to make us happy

Buda
Written by Doanld Ray Fischer
Weel there’s nothing as wonderful as new baby child
And there’s nothing more beautiful than an innocent smile
But this world’s not forgiving and sometime just living
Grows hard
Well, there’s as gleaming as a new Cadillac
And there’s nothing as joyful ass a roll in the back
But this world keeps on turning and sometimes love’s burning
Burns out
It’s a long way to Buda, it’s a long way back home
And there’s nothing there for me no more
At the corner of This Way and That Way I know
Is a hometown that is no more
Well, there’s nothing quite like, as the wind in your hair
As you roll down the highway, going nowhere
But this world keeps on moving and sometimes it leaves
You behind

Summer Nights
Written by Donald Ray Fischer
Spanish moss blowing in the breeze
Giant oak trees staring down like kings
Throwing shadows on the water as the sun slowly slips away
Storm winds blowing in from over the coast
You could almost touch the stars, man they felt that close
Drinking on the levee, never worried what tomorrow might bring
Summer Nights
Summer Nights
Who thought they would ever end
Summer nights filled with laughter
How we paid the morning after
Never worried what tomorrow might bring
Running to the shelter of an old tin barn
Listening to the thunder as the rain hits hard
Soaked to the bone, as we danced the night away
Young girls tempted n the summer heat
Bad boys begging for that sweet release
Lost in the moment, Not worried what tomorrow might bring
Summer Nights
Summer Nights
Who thought they would ever end
Summer nights filled with laughter
How we paid the morning after
Never worried what tomorrow might bring

Hush Little Angel
Written by Donald Ray Fischer
Hush little baby, don’t you cry
Daddy’s right here, everything’s alright
The moon is out, the stars in the sky
Rest my baby, close your eyes and go to sleep
Knowing I am here
Hush little baby, the day is gone
Tomorrow will be here before too long
Dreams sweet dreams, the sandman’s here
Hold my hand I’ll be right here, now go to sleep
Knowing I am here
Dream
Dream
Dream little Angel, knowing I am here
Hush little angel, don’t you cry
Daddy’s gonna sing you a lullaby
Something to melt your fears away
So you can be ready for another day, now go to sleep
Knowing I am here
Dream
Dream
Dream little Angel, knowing I am here

Walk On By
Written by Donald Ray Fischer
Baby walk on by
Don’t turn and look my way
Baby walk on by
There’s nothing left to say
Baby walk on by if we chance to meet
Don’t even say hello if you see me on the street
Well, it’s over girl
Baby walk on by
Everybody’s got a story and you’ve got yours
Though it don’t matter no more
I tried for oh so long just to make it work
And now It’s time that I close that door
Well, you lied, you cheated, you played me for a fool
You had your fun while you made me cry
Well, it’s over now and if you see me on the street
Baby walk on by
It’s true I loved you baby that’s for sure
But mama didn’t raise no fool
And that’s what I’d be if I took you back
When there’s so many girls who will be true
And sometimes baby when you’re all alone
Think of me and how you let love slip by
Because it’s over now and if you see me on the street
Baby walk on by

Gates of Graceland
Written by Doanld Ray Fischer
I was standing at the gates of the king all alone
Feeling his pain and woe
Such a gilded cage of fame and gold
It made me say a prayer for his soul
Just to fly away to his mother’s arms
And the peace he’d never known
Just to fly away to a better place
And the love he yearned for so
So many times, he must have wept in pain
With no one to understand
Even in a crowd to feel so all alone
With no one to lend a helping hand
Just to fly away from this troubled world
To a peace he’d never known
Just to fly away where his loved ones wait
And the love he yearned for so
Well, I heard a voice say take a walk with me
Let go and hold on to my hand
Leet all your troubles simple fade away
And walk with me into the Promise Land
Last night I dreamed the angels beckoned me
Standing on a stairway of light
With voices so sweet the tears they rolled down my cheeks
Saying everything will be all right
Just to fly away from this troubled world
To a peace we’ve never known
Just to fly away where our loved ones wait
And the love we’ve longed for so

Runaway
Written by Donald Ray Fischer
I’m loud and abrasive, put my foot in my mouth
A little bit shallow and obsessed with myself
But is that any reason to close your heart to me
I’m constantly changing, but I am what I am
And if this all ends tomorrow well it’s worth it my friend
So is there any reason to close your heart to me
You want to run, run, run away
You want to run, run, run away
You want to run, run, run away
Run away from me
Is that any reason
I’ve gone where I’m going, but it nowhere I’ve been
They say you learn from mistakes, I guess I’m learning again
But is that any reason to close your heart to me

For Another
Written by Donald Ray Fischer
Every time we dance so close
My heart it breaks in two to know
The love that you hold in your soul
Is for another
The years that I spent as a friend
Knowing you’d never let me in
Because your love is saved
Is for another
But tonight, as the music plays
I silently hold you close and pray
Lost in the dream that someday you’d be mine
I see the laughter in your eyes
Do you see how my own do cry
To Know your lips are saved
For another
But tonight, as we’re cheek to cheek
I stop my heart though it wants to speak
The words that you would never want to hear
And as we move across the floor
I know that I will ever more
Be lost because you love’s
For another
And when you fall into my arms
You see I’m helpless to your charms
Though I know their meant
For another
So please be gentle please be kind
And maybe the miracle of time
Will turn your love to me
Not for another

Rattlin' Bones
written by Donald Ray Fischer
This hot blue steel, that I hold in my hand
In a pool of blood lies a dying man
Oh mother please won't you weep for me
I'm surely damned for all eternity
chorus:
Woah Woah Woah Woah Hear them rattlin' bones
Hey Hey Hey Hey I think it's time we pray
Woah Woah Woah Woah Feel the room get cold
Hey Hey Hey Hey Must be the judgement day
I feel the hand of death it's got me by the neck
Oh don't let 'em take me Lord it's not my time yet
I know a wasted time is a terrible sin
And I'd do it all different Lord if I could do it again
They say that spirits hover all around our heads
Little bits of soul and memory gathered from our dead
I know at times I swear they were 'bout to take shape
If it wasn't for my fear and will power that kept them in their graves
