Every Friday Night - Lyrics

Every Friday Night

By: Tim Sweeney

Copyright 2012, Timothy J. Sweeney  (all rights reserved)

Verse #1

Spent another night bartending

In a little joint downtown

When some college girls sat down

And looked my way

Red Bull with a Vodka night

Smirnoff Ice and Natty light

When I ask them what they like

Here’s what they say

Chorus

Gonna grab a cup

Add a little ice

Gonna fill ‘er up

Maybe once or twice

Gonna throw ‘er down

Makes me feel just right

Gonna all get drunk

Every Friday night

Verse #2

The bar doors all flew open

As I poured another round

And some good ole boys sat down

And hollered “Hey”

Budweiser, a shot of Jack,

PBR, Tequila back

When I ask them what they like

Here’s what they say

Chorus

Gonna grab a cup

Add a little ice

Gonna fill ‘er up

Maybe once or twice

Gonna throw ‘er down

Makes me feel just right

Gonna all get drunk

Every Friday night

Bridge

The college girls drank all night long

Them good ole boys just sang along

‘Bout pick-up trucks and honky-tonks

Jamming to a good ole country song

Instrumental - Solo

Somebody To Love - Lyrics

Somebody To Love

By: Tim Sweeney

Copyright 2000, 2011 Timothy J. Sweeney (all rights reserved)

Verse #1

Sittin’ in my window

Calling out your name

Blinded by the sunlight

Sheltered from the rain

Walkin’ down the highway

Shakin’ off the dust

Cause I need somebody to love

Bridge

Somebody to love

Somebody to touch

Not just for one night

It’s never enough

Somebody to please, somebody to please

Somebody to trust

Cause I need somebody to love

Verse #2

Starin’ at the silence

Nothing feels the same

Burnin’ up the loneliness

Doesn't ease my pain

Drinkin’ through my sorrow

Thinkin’ 'bout your touch

Cause I need somebody to love

Somebody to love

Somebody to touch

Not just for one night

It’s never enough

Somebody to please, somebody to please

Somebody to trust

Cause I need somebody to love

Chorus

Somebody to love somebody

Somebody to love my body

Somebody to love somebody

Somebody to love

Somebody to love somebody

Somebody to love my body

I still need…

Somebody to love

Instrumental

Verse #3

Searchin’ every alley

Watchin’ every car

Hopin’ just to see you

Closin’ down every bar

Lookin’ for a lover

Haven't had no luck

I still need somebody to love

Bridge

Somebody to love

Somebody to touch

Not just for one night

It’s never enough

Somebody to please…

Somebody to trust…

Cause I need somebody to love

Chorus

Somebody to love somebody

Somebody to love my body

Somebody to love somebody

Somebody to love

Somebody to love somebody

Somebody to love my body

I still need…

Somebody to love

I need…

I need…

I need somebody to love

On my knees…

Begging you please…

Cause I need somebody to love

I need somebody to love

Repeat….fade

Desperately - Lyrics

Desperately

By: Tim Sweeney

Copyright 2012, Timothy J. Sweeney  (all rights reserved)

Verse #1

I packed my bags, I’m leaving

Feels like I’m barely breathing

Tonight I want to hold you desperately

I’ll hit the road tomorrow

Face all my fears and sorrow

Tonight I want to love you desperately

Just to feel you next to me

Chorus

My Silverado’s headed out to the west

Through Oklahoma, Arizona, I guess

I never told you baby, you were the best

Verse #2

I spent the morning driving

Convinced my heart, I’m lying

Tonight I want to hold you desperately

Sagebrush flew past my window

Like the years in Amarillo

Tonight I want to love you desperately

Just to feel you next to me

Chorus

My Silverado’s headed out to the west

Through Oklahoma, Arizona, I guess

I never told you baby, you were the best

So much better than the rest

Instrumental

Bridge

Inside I feel like crying

Maybe my heart’s just dying

Tonight I know I’ll miss you desperately

Just to feel you next to me

Verse #3

Drank a beer and ate beef jerky

In a bar in Albuquerque

Tonight I want to hold you desperately

I knew the years were fading

You grew too tired of waiting

But I still love you desperately

Chorus

My Silverado’s headed out to the west

Through Oklahoma, Arizona, I guess

I never told you baby, you were the best

So much better than the rest

So much better than the rest…

You know I’ll always love you desperately….

Baby I Try For You - Lyrics

Baby I Try for You

By: Tim Sweeney

Copyright 2000, 2011 Timothy J. Sweeney (all rights reserved)

Verse #1

Flying high, just a soul run wild

A growing man, but still a child

With you, with you

Baby I try for you

Sought a rose and caught a thorn

But every day our love is born

Anew, so true

Baby I try for you

Bridge

Trying hard to soothe your soul

Sadness you just can’t control

There are things you'll never know

Cause I can't talk to you

Verse #2

Picture frame broken on the floor

And every day, I know there's more

To do, for you

Baby I try for you

See the dawn, hear the clock strike three

Another night of wait and see

For you, so true

Baby I try for you

Bridge

Trying hard to hide your tears

Waiting all the lonely years

There are things you'll never hear

Cause I can't talk to you

Chorus

I can't talk to you

I can't talk to you

Though I try so hard to say

I can't talk to you

I can't talk to you

You know the words get in the way

If I could talk to you

I'd say I love you too

Tell you each and every day

I love you more than I can say

Instrumental

Verse #3

Years of hope ring a distant bell

A rusty coin in a wishing well

It’s true, that’s you,

Baby I try for you

Coal with years make a diamond shine

Patience, tears and father time

Do to, its true

Baby I try for you

Bridge

Trying hard to soothe your soul

Sadness you just can’t control

There are things you'll never know

Cause I can't talk to you

Chorus

I can't talk to you

I can't talk to you

Though I try so hard to say

I can't talk to you

I can't talk to you

You know the words get in the way

If I could talk to you

I'd say I love you too

Tell you each and every day

I love you more than I can say

I love you more than I can say…….

Double Wide - Lyrics

Double Wide

By: Tim Sweeney

Copyright, 2011 Timothy J. Sweeney (all rights reserved)

Verse #1

Came to town without a car today

I’m too broke to buy a truck

Need a place to lay my head at night

Wasn’t havin’ too much luck

So I searched my way through Craig’s List

‘Til the day turned light to dark

The only thing I found on the south side of town

Was a double-wide trailer park

Chorus

Sleeping in a double-wide

Sleeping in a double-wide

If the trailer’s a-rockin

Then don’t come a-knockin

Cause I’m sleeping in a double-wide

Verse #2

Scored a job part-time at Starbucks

Met some girls on match.com

I was lookin’ for a date that night

But I only got a call from mom

Scamming chicks down by the college

But my rap must’ve missed the mark

So I’m headin’ back down to a country bar in town

By the double-wide trailer park

Chorus

Sleeping in a double-wide

Sleeping in a double-wide

If the trailer’s a-rockin

Then don’t come a-knockin

Cause I’m sleeping in a double-wide

Bridge

Oh, I know a guy likes pretty city girls

Who stare in the mirror all night

But I like the ones, the tons of fun

Cause I’m sleeping in a double-wide….oooh

Instrumental

Verse #3

The cowboys cooled at tables

And the rednecks ruled the bar

I knew my night was changing when she

Danced her way across the floor

You know she’s not a gorgeous model

But these country girls light a spark

So I turned her throttle and she grabbed a bottle

And we headed for the trailer park

Chorus

Sleeping in a double-wide

Sleeping in a double-wide

If the trailer’s a-rockin

Then don’t come a-knockin

Cause I’m sleeping in a double-wide

Sleeping in a double-wide (oh baby)

Sleeping in a double-wide (oh yea)

If the trailer’s a-rockin

Then don’t come a-knockin

Cause I’m sleeping in a double-wide

If the trailer’s a-rockin

Then don’t come a-knockin

Cause I’m sleeping in a double-wide…

….ooooh, twice the fun!

It's Just Not Enough - Lyrics

It’s Just Not Enough

By: Tim Sweeney

Copyright, 2011 Timothy J. Sweeney (all rights reserved)

VERSE 1

I’ve been working on the job over twenty-two years

Hustling day and night, drinking cheap ass beer

She treats her friends to lunch, and she plays all day

And when I try to love her she just turns away

CHORUS

Stopped my late night drinking

Hanging out with thugs

Never dated other women

Never did do drugs

Bought her everything she wanted

Even Persian rugs….

And with everything I’m doing

It’s just not enough

Verse 2

Well they laid me off when all the plants closed down

Paying all the bills from a job I found

Well it’s not much money working day to day

And when I try to love her she just turns away

CHORUS

Stopped my late night drinking

Hanging out with thugs

Never dated other women

Never did do drugs

Bought her everything she wanted

Even Persian rugs….

And with everything I’m doing

It’s just not enough

Instrumental

VERSE 3

Well I came home in the middle of the day

The doors fly open, and the plumber runs away

I’m throwing out her clothes, as she’s heading for the door

She took all my money ….… she’s not here no more

Chorus

Going late night drinking

Hanging out with thugs

And I’m dating other women

Still I won’t do drugs

Buying everything I want and

Sold the Persian rugs….

And with everything I’m doing

It’s just not enough

Instrumental Turn

Chorus

I’m going late night drinking

Hanging out with thugs

And I’m dating other women

Still I won’t do drugs

Buying everything I want and

Sold the Persian rugs…

And with everything I’m doing

It’s just not enough

And with everything I’m doing

It’s just not….. enough…

Tag - Spoken

Persian rugs, c’mon man

Hell I got ‘em at WalMart

This Time - Lyrics

This Time

By: Tim Sweeney

Verse #1

Can’t work this damn job for the rest of my life

Pushing paper in an office or two

Or punching my time at the dirty coal mine

I’m gonna do what I wanna do

Told my buddy Jim, it’s the end of the line

I’m not waiting ‘til I’m too old you see

For a lousy gold watch or a party goodbye

I’m gonna be what I wanna be

Chorus

I’m gonna do what I wanna do

I’m gonna be what I wanna be

No more kissing their shoes and no more paying my dues

This time it’s gonna be about me

This time it’s gonna be about me

This time it’s gonna be about me

This time it’s gonna be about

(C’mon and shout it out…)

This time it’s gonna be about me

Verse 2

I packed up my clothes and I sold my old car

Didn’t take me but a minute or two

Bought some beer at the bar and a beat-up guitar

I’m gonna do what I wanna do

Hitchhiked all day, took a bus and a train

To Music City, Nashville Tennessee

My friends think it’s lame, even say I’m insane

I’m gonna be what I wanna be

Chorus

I’m gonna do what I wanna do

I’m gonna be what I wanna be

No more kissing their shoes and no more paying my dues

This time it’s gonna be about me

This time it’s gonna be about me

This time it’s gonna be about me

This time it’s gonna be about

(C’mon and shout it out…)

This time it’s gonna be about me

Bridge

Sometimes you gotta let things go

Sometimes you gotta take a chance

I might find me a burning ring of fire

But Garth warned me not to miss the dance

Instrumental Turn

Verse #3

Played all my songs when I came into town

I even talked to a label or two

With a smile or a frown, they all turned me down

I’m gonna do what I wanna do

One thing you should know when you’re leaving this show

I can’t make it if I’m playing for free

Go buy this damn song and please help me along

So I can be what I wanna be

Chorus

I’m gonna do what I wanna do

I’m gonna be what I wanna be

No more kissing their shoes and no more paying my dues

This time it’s gonna be about me

If you wanna do what you wanna do

Or be what you wanna be

Stop kissing their shoes, and stop paying your dues

And come sing along with me

This time it’s gonna be about me

This time it’s gonna be about me

This time it’s gonna be about

(C’mon and shout it out…)

This time it’s gonna be about me

This time it’s gonna be about me

This time it’s gonna be about……me

Make Love On The Run - Lyrics

MAKE LOVE ON THE RUN

By: Tim Sweeney

Copyright, 2000, 2011 Timothy J. Sweeney (all rights reserved)

Verse 1

On a desert highway, forty miles from home

Met a dark haired stranger, stopped my car to say hello

She looked so gorgeous in her faded jeans

One of those angels from a fashion magazine

I don’t know just how it all got started

All I know is she left me broken hearted

Chorus

One cup of coffee, two pints to go

We drank it slowly as we made love to the radio

We talked for hours, ‘til the morning sun

She told me baby that she makes love on the run

Verse 2

Over four years later, it was like a dream

Saw the dark haired stranger in a bar in New Orleans

Felt so nervous as she walked on by

She grabbed by shoulder and winked as she caught my eye

I don’t know just why she’d ever do this

Won’t somebody try to help me make it through this

One cup of coffee, two pints to go

We drank it slowly as we made love to the radio

We talked for hours, ‘til the morning sun

She told me baby that she makes love on the run

Makes love on the run…….oh yea

Instrumental

Verse 3

Now that I’m much older, raised a family

All the kids are gone now, but I still have memories

Of the desert highway, and those faded jeans

And the chance encounter in a bar in New Orleans

Instrumental turn (transition)

Bridge

Well that’s my story for all to see

And the dark haired stranger, she wakes up next to me…, with

One cup of coffee, two pints to go

We drink it slowly as we make love to the radio

We talk for hours, ‘til the morning sun

She tells me baby we can make love on the run

Make love on the run…..

Make love on the run

Soul Patrol - Lyrics

SOUL PATROL

Verse #1

Thirty years ago, I was a litlle baby

My cradle rockin to and fro

I remember the time, my daddy made a tent

With a blanket thrown across the door

Now I’m sittin’ all alone a wishin and a wonderin

Just why he had to go

But my daddy is a friend, a teacher and a counselor

He’s working with the soul patrol

CHORUS

Workin with the soul man

Workin with the soul baby

Workin with the soul patrol

Working and a-watchin, watchin and a-workin

As he did so long ago

And every damn straight time, you hear a tune or rhyme

As your walkin on down the road

You know he’s

Workin with the soul man

Workin with the soul baby

Workin with the soul patrol

Verse #2

Met a few girls and some of them were lovers

As I made my way through school

Sought out his advice whenever I had trouble

And he taught me ‘bout the golden rule

Often got the gold but mostly got the shaft

From my lovers all along the road

But my daddy is a friend, a teacher and a counselor

He’s working with the soul patrol

CHORUS

Workin with the soul man

Workin with the soul baby

Workin with the soul patrol

Workin and a-watchin, watchin and a-workin

As he did so long ago

And every damn straight time, you hear a tune or rhyme

As your walkin on down the road

You know he’s

Workin with the soul man

Workin with the soul baby

Workin with the soul patrol

BRIDGE

I can see him sittin in the window

I can see him standin by the door

I can see him smokin on the front step

 But I don’t see him anymore, and

 I can hear him whisper in the morning

As the dew rolls over the lawn

I can hear him laughin in the evening

I can hear him in this song

Solo - Instrumental

Verse #3

Now that I’m a father, with my little children

I wonder if they’ll ever know

All the hope and love, the faith and all the confidence

He nurtured in me long ago

But every time they need his wisdom or his guidance

Well, they know just where to go

Cause my Daddy is a friend, a teacher and a counselor

He’ workin with the soul patrol

CHORUS

Workin with the soul man

Workin with the soul baby

Workin with the soul patrol

Workin and a-watchin, watchin and a-workin

As he did so long ago

And every damn straight time, you hear a tune or rhyme

As your walkin on down the road

You know he’s

Workin with the soul man

Workin with the soul baby

Workin with the soul patrol

You know he’s

Workin with the soul man

Workin with the soul baby

Workin with the soul patrol...

Everything's Alright - Lyrics

Everything’s Alright

By: Tim Sweeney

Copyright, 1996 Timothy J. Sweeney (all rights reserved)

Verse 1

Late at night you wait for me

To come and be with you

To have someone to share your dreams

I only wish I’d knew

The many times you shed a tear

The loneliness at night

You just close your eyes and make believe

That everything’s alright

Verse 2

You tell me that I’m just a fool

Living in a separate world

And often I forget the needs

Of a very special girl

I take my problems out on you

I come home late at night

You just close your eyes and make believe

That everything’s alright

Chorus

Can I whisper secrets in your ear

I can feel your tender touch

Can I lay my body next to you

And love you oh so much

Can I lay awake for hours

Holding you so very tight

Can I close eyes and make believe

That everything’s alright

Solo

Verse 3

Please just give me one last try

To make it up to you

Please just give me one more chance

Before you say we’re through

I understand your feelings now

I’ve finally seen the light 

You just close your eyes and make believe

That everything’s alright

Chorus

Can I whisper secrets in your ear

I can feel your tender touch

Can I lay my body next to you

And love you oh so much

Can I lay awake for hours

Holding you so very tight

Can I close eyes and make believe

That everything’s alright

Alt Chorus

I will whisper secrets in your ear

And I’ll feel your tender touch

I will lay my body next to you

And love you oh so much

I will lay awake for hours

Holding you so very tight

So just close eyes and I’ll make sure

That everything’s alright

So just close eyes and I’ll make sure

That everything’s alright

Remember Me - Lyrics

Remember Me

By: Tim Sweeney

Verse #1

Never thought you would ever leave me

But your soul and my eyes deceived me

Left me here I’m so broken hearted

All alone just the way we started

Now I know that I won’t be with you

Realize that I’ll always miss you

All the days that we shared together

All the nights that’d last forever

Bridge

When the memories disappear

Other people hold you near

Will you still remember

Chorus

Making love down by the lake

Drivin up to a special place

We both knew the three words you longed to say

Running back through an open door

Just to hold each other tight once more

If you never see me any more

Remember me…

Verse #2

Every day I just keep on tryin

Hold my head just to hide my cryin

Reminisce every time I’m lonely

Knowin you were the one and only

Promises never go unbroken

Messages that return unopened

Every time that I try to show you

Let’s me know that the feelings over

Bridge

When the memories disappear

Other people hold you near

Will you still remember

Chorus

Making love down by the lake

Drivin up to a special place

We both knew the three words you longed to say

Running back through an open door

Just to hold each other tight once more

If you never see me any more

Remember me…

 (Instrumental)

Now I know that I won’t be with you

Realize that I’ll always miss you

All the days that we shared together

All the nights that’d last forever

Chorus

Never see the smile that’s on your face

Never take you to a special place

Never hear the three words you longed to say

Never see you run through an open door

Never hold you like I did before

And if you never see me any more

Please remember me

Baby, baby please

Please remember me
