BLUES ON THE ROAD
She walks like the wind and prays to the moon
She smiles and I feel the pain has gone
But in dreams she will fade
In a moment too soon
I know it’s time for moving on
When there’s blues on the road
I won’t be hanging round this town
with blues on the road
gonna lay my burden down
The book spoke of gold
treasure in the earth
Was a true, or a spectre from the past?
Do I chase the sun
or follow the stars
To find a new heaven that will last?
When there’s blues on the road etc
`Soul has an eye
A silent word
that lives in the heat of the breast
and time’s like a rock
as black as the tide
I can’t sleep tonight
There’s no rest
When there’s blues on the road etc
A voice on the breeze
Danced through my ear
a spell to cast and gather in the sheaves
With dust on the road
and nothing left to fear
The harvest must be followed, so I leave
When there’s blues on the road etc.

STEAMY ANGELS © 1997 Chris Gibbons & Debbie Knights
The sweetest thing
I ever seen
was steamy angels
in my dreams
Outahope, seems like I’m hanging on a rope
waiting for someone to set me free
it’s those Steamy angels
coming’ after me
VSE 1
Now when you’re feeling life
has left you out in the cold
with tears in your eyes
those steamy angels make your temperature rise
And when you lost the plot
you need what the angels got
with the sweetest affection
they will lead you in the right direction
CHOS
‘cos the sweetest thing
VSE 2
Out of the blue
They will come to you
with love’s compassion,
they’ll bring you heaven’s medication
CHOS
‘cos the sweetest thing

HOMES FOR CASH
CHRIS GIBBONS . MAY 2001
Billy was a cowboy
Suzie was a drag
As they headed into Arizona
Past the county flag
High on some tomorrow
and hidden in the haze
They saw a sign up on the hill
The first they’d seen in days
“I’ll buy your home for cash, dear Billy, and I’ll take Suzie too
There’s a cowboy dance across the town where you can do the boogaloo!”
“Get a little closer babe, the sun it hurts my eyes
The whiskey’s low and I’m feelin’ lonesome, I think I’m gonna cry”.
“Hold on now” says Suzie,
“I think I have a plan;
there’s a man ahead who lost his bead while playing kick the can”
He said;
“ I’ll buy your home for cash dear Billy if your heading outa town
The cactus’ high in the summer sky , so I’ll lay my money down”.
“I’ll buy your home for cash, dear Billy, and I’ll take Suzie too
There’s a cowboy dance across the town where you can do the boogaloo!”

MY O MY
My O My how we try to get by
when life gets in the way
hearts cry when the crow flies
at the breaking of another day
I just can’t forget it, how sweet she came to me
I just won’t regret it, somethings are meant to be
Stay with me or leaving, somehow it’s all the same
memories stay with me
riding thru the rain
My O My etc
I fight against resistance, no one ever wants to change
but each day brings persistence
this heart to re arrange
sometimes we just don’t get it, don’t know why we try
It only hurts if we let it
it only makes us cry
My O My etc

FINAL STAND Chris Gibbons, Nov. 2003
Vs 1
I know there can be no excuses now
no victims, no martyrs for the cause
just you and I and all the thoughts I hide
As the sun sets on battle games and wars
Chos.
No great last words will be written in the stone
no sympathy to shatter where we stand
Just what I have , what I’ve carried all this time
Will see me, as I make my final stand
Vs 2
Poor sister Mary gathers up her flock
Her prayers, too, are lost among the hills
and lovers lie among the tender songs,
and sing the words that drive away their ills
Chos No last great words etc.
Vs 3
Old Billy left his hillside as the rain came down
determined to find his long lost bride
he knows she’ll come when the preacher starts his song
and locked in love they will abide
Chos No last great words etc.
