  ONE GOOD REASON (Carl Dixon, Brett Walker)

You never look before you leap, got a dangerous style
I wouldn't want you any other way
High heels drivin` my heartbeat, I`ve gotta walk that mile
You`re turnin` my head around when you`re makin` your play
Can`t fight my instinct, I can`t let it be
I`ll take my chances `cause I can see you`re one good reason
One good reason, oh, for me stay around
You`re one good reason I`m never gonna slow down
Quicksilver, hard to hold, you`ve got me jumping
I can`t sleep when the temperatures still so high
What I like about you most is you don`t make it easy
But I know what you`re up to by that look in your eye
Can`t fight my instinct, I can`t let it lay
I like my chances when you walk that way, you`re one good reason
One good reason, oh, for me stay around
You`re one good reason I`m never gonna slow down
One good reason to keep me comin` around
 
     
 
 
     
  GOOD TIME TO BE BAD (Carl Dixon, Taylor Rhodes)

Getting` through the workday anyway you can, clock goes around too slow
Forty hour week to put a dollar in my hand, hey tonight we`re gonna lose control
Ain`t no better time, ain`t no better place, get a little wild it ain`t no disgrace.
`Cause there`s a good time, a good time to be bad (Oh a good, good time)
There`s a good time, a good time to be bad
Staring at the ceiling, climbing up the walls; that ain`t no Saturday night
So baby come on here`s your invitation. Get down and dirty, you`ve got the right.
Ain`t no better time, ain`t no better place, get a little wild it ain`t no disgrace.
`Cause there`s a good time, a good time to be bad (Oh a good, good time)
There`s a good time, a good time to be bad
It`s all a dream fading away into the mist
And there you are, you`ve got to get down, look out
Ain`t no better time, ain`t no better place, get a little wild it ain`t no disgrace.
`Cause there`s a good time, a good time to be bad (Oh a good, good time)
There`s a good time, a good time to be bad
 
     
 
 
     
  THE BLOOD RISES (Carl Dixon, Kevin Savigar)

Burning up, I`ve gotta break the chains. Stop the madness driving me insane.
Surge of power running through my veins; my heart is pounding like a runaway freight train
Can`t escape the sound of the thunder. It`s all I can take, is it any wonder
The blood rises and it gets too hot. No surprises, when you just can`t stop
Ooh it`s over the top the blood rises
Fear no evil and you tell no tales, you`ve gotta cut it loose when all else fails
No love lost and no tears shed. All that`s left are the quick and the dead, yeah
Can`t hold back or fight it any longer, All night long feel it getting stronger
The blood rises and it gets too hot. No surprises when you just can`t stop
The blood rises, gimme what you`ve got; got me on the run like a ricochet gunshot
Ooh, it`s over the top, the blood rises
The storm is threatening, the wolf`s at the door
Born to burn babe, I`ve got to have more
The blood rises and it gets too hot. No surprises when you just can`t stop
The blood rises, gimme what you`ve got; got me on the run like a ricochet gunshot
Ooh, it`s over the top, the blood rises
 
     
 
 
     
  TASTE OF LOVE (Carl Dixon, Brett Walker)

A taste of love, a taste of love, ooh a little taste of love
Who`s the little wild one standing by the back door, tangerine marmalade tossed from a candy store
Messy on the lipstick easy on the eyes, walking on a high wire give the little lady a prize Oh yeah
Ooh, you set my wheels in motion, turning on a crazy notion
You give me a taste of love, ooh a little ain`t enough
Don`t leave me standing at your door
You give me a taste of love, a little taste of love
I`ve got an appetite for more, an appetite for more
High class misfit maybe you`re a star, run from my loving but you don`t run far
Sparkle on the sweet stuff shine like a laser beam, ooh you`re such a good girl kitty needs a little cream
Ooh, you set my wheels in motion, turning on a crazy notion
You give me a taste of love, ooh a little ain`t enough
Don`t leave me standing at your door
You give me a taste of love, a little taste of love
I`ve got an appetite for more, an appetite for more
Yeah, put me on your front page baby you`re a magazine, Living in a storybook late night movie scene
Intoxicate me
You give me a taste of love, ooh a little ain`t enough
Don`t leave me standing at your door
You give me a taste of love, a little taste of love
I`ve got an appetite for more, an appetite for more
 
     
 
 
     
  AGAINST THE NIGHT (Carl Dixon)

 

I see the stars reflected in your eyes; there was a time we loved the darkness
Foolish words brought an end to you and I; oh, the night became so heartless
Now here we are again, no better off in the end. It`s so hard to be alone
Against the night, how can we hold out?
Against the night, the night`s so long
And if you`re lonely well, there`s only you and me here against the night
This is a place that turned into goodbyes; I can`t believe we were so blind
From foolish words come lonely days and tears I cried. Well tonight could be a long, long time
And if we`re still the same with nothing left to blame we don`t have to be alone
Against the night, how can we hold out?
Against the night, the night`s so long
And if you`re lonely well, there`s only you and me here against the night
So here we are we again, no better off in the end, we don`t have to be alone, no
Against the night

 
     
 
 
     
  HARD TO LEAVE, HARD TO LOVE (Carl Dixon, Stan Meissner)

Such a nice little girl, you look like a killer. You`ve got me by the heart
So sweet on the outside, oh yeah, but your eyes can tear me apart
It doesn`t make any difference what I do, no matter what I say
You don`t take no notice don`t pay no mind, Baby`s gonna do it her own way
Sometimes I try to break away, but I never get too far `cause you`re
Hard to leave, hard to love
You look so sweet but you talk so tough
Hard to leave, hard to love
Can`t take it easy when you play this rough
Hard to leave, hard to love
I just can`t stand it, but I can`t get enough
You like dangerous amusements and wild situations that scare the hell out of me
Baby running reckless all night long ain`t the way to get to heaven in a hurry
I get the feeling that I wanna hold on every time I let you go `cause you`re
Hard to leave, hard to love
You look so sweet but you talk so tough
Hard to leave, hard to love
Can`t take it easy when you play this rough
Hard to leave, hard to love
I just can`t stand it, but I can`t get enough
You`d better learn how to take it in stride, `cause baby we`re in for a wild, wild ride
Yeah, yeah you`re so hard to leave, hard to love
 
     
 
 
     
  TREACHEROUS EMOTIONS (Carl Dixon)

I`ve got wicked emotions that take my head and give it a spin
They don`t give a damn about the trouble they could get me in
And with a woman like you I know they`re gonna do it again
Ah, but where will it end, I don`t wanna depend on
Treacherous emotions, keep em under lock and key
Treacherous emotions always get the better of me
I`m playing monkey in the middle `cause my heart overpowers my head
It promises the pleasure but the pain keeps coming instead
Dangerous amusements, a love so slippery, making me a nervous man
You don`t understand that you`re making demands on
Treacherous emotions, keep `em under lock and key
Treacherous emotions always get the better of me
Treacherous, treacherous, oh so treacherous
 
     
 
 
     
  MORE THAN A MEMORY (Carl Dixon, Brett Walker)

Looking out on the city, the night is full of ghosts
My head swimming in a swirl of memories of your love
How does all that disappear? The hurt is all that shows that you were ever here
Oh and when I think about tomorrow, tell myself I`ll be all right but you`re
More than a memory tonight, yeah you`re
More than a memory tonight
A letter with a photograph, a scent of your perfume
I keep running into restless memories you left behind
And these runs that seemed so small for two now feel so empty without you
Oh and I`ll forget about the sorrow when I see the morning light but you`re
More than a memory tonight, yeah you`re
More than a memory tonight
Where does all the lost love go? I wanna find the place
``Cause I don`t dream any more, I only see your face
Baby you know that you`re more than a memory tonight
 
     
 
 
     
  LOVE IS WAITING (Carl Dixon, Spencer Sercombe)


You need some time to find your way, I know that`s true
You say you`ve gotta be alone awhile, well I believe in you
When I feel you growing, I`m growing too
And I need you to know my heart is always with you
Where you are today and where you will ever be
My love is waiting, it`ll always be here
Inside this heart of mine a light that always shines
My love is patient no regrets and no tears
Timeless and true, my love is waiting for you
I`ve watched you moving through your life, you`ve had your share
Of love both lost and conquered in perfect order and in pieces everywhere
I`ve felt your power it makes me strong
And I need you to know that even though the road is long
Where I am today and where I will ever be
My love is waiting, it`ll always be here
Inside this heart of mine a light that always shines
My love is patient no regrets and no tears
Timeless and true, my love is waiting for you

 
     
 
 
     
  WALK THROUGH THE FIRE (Carl Dixon, Stan Meissner)


I don`t want to think about everything I`ve done wrong
All I wanna do is to make it right
Always been a fool for you, been a fool for some other girls too
I put a match to the dreams that you held so tight
Now you`re lost in the flame and I know I`m to blame, but I`d
Walk through the fire to get back to your heart, I`d
Walk through the fire. Our love was so good for you I would walk through the fire
You`ve got the fury of a lover done wrong, caught between the pride and the pain
I`ll stand the heat for the sake of love `til you come back again
Now you wanna hide your pain behind a wall of flame, but I`d
Walk through the fire to get back to your heart, I`d
Walk through the fire. Our love was so good for you I would walk through the fire
I never intended for my love to hurt you
I know I`m not wrong to walk through the fire right back to you
Now you`re lost in the flame and I know I`m to blame, but I`d
Walk through the fire to get back to your heart, I`d
Walk through the fire. Our love was so good for you I would walk through the fire

 
     
 
 
     
  LITTLE MISS INNOCENT (Carl Dixon)


Sometimes I think about you, you know who you are
And I feel those sensations as if it was now when you gave me your secret under the stars
Found a whole new beginning, had my eyes opened wide
And it felt like something was ending too, the moment I saw you it changed me inside
Little miss innocent, you stole my heart away
Sweet baby I`m thinking of you tonight
Little miss innocent you stole my heart away
Little girl I know you`re gonna treat it right
Oh did they send you from heaven, just to make me amazed
Well now I`m a true believer I`ll carry that feeling for the rest of my days
So my girl if you can hear me I know you`ll understand
Whatever this world`s gonna put me through, knowing you`re in it makes me happy again
Little miss innocent, you stole my heart away
Sweet baby I`m thinking of you tonight
Little miss innocent you stole my heart away
Little girl I know you`re gonna treat it right, Quite right
If you wake up and I`m gone don`t worry your pretty head
I won`t be gone too long, I wanna hold you in my arms again
I`m no good at pretending but I`m not too cool to feel
My love for you is never ending. That is the one thing I know is for real
Little miss innocent, you stole my heart away
Sweet baby I`m thinking of you tonight
Little miss innocent you stole my heart away
Little girl I know you`re gonna treat it right
LOVE STRIKES (Carl Dixon, David Warner)
Just another man with a woman to blame stands alone in the night
He`s getting so tired of playing the game but he ain`t playing it right
You say you’ve given her everything you’ve got, laid your heart on the line
And now you`re feeling unsure, don`t even know what you`re headed for until
Love strikes and suddenly you`re falling
Love strikes way down in your soul
You can wait all your life but it only takes a moment
That`s when love strikes
Tell me what you`ve got, are you searching for nothing, is your back to the wall?
A picture in your mind that love`s an illusion, it ain`t worth nothing at all
And so you go around fooling yourself you`ll get through this world all alone
Well that ain`t nothing but pride. No, it ain`t for you to decide when
Love strikes and suddenly you`re falling
Love strikes way down in your soul
You can wait all your life but it only takes a moment
That`s when love strikes
It`s not a choice you can make; no, it doesn`t happen that way
So if the timing is right who knows when lightning might strike?
So let go of your pride. No, it ain’t for you to decide when
Love strikes and suddenly you`re falling
Love strikes way out of control
You can wait all your life but it only takes a moment
That`s when love strikes

 
     
 
 
     
  RUN RECKLESS (Carl Dixon, Brett Walker)


Sundown in the valley, it`s a hot summer night
Yeah I`m revving my motor, got nothing but an open road in sight
I`ll be a blue streak flying down the blacktop
I don`t know where I`m ever gonna stop
Yeah ready or not
Getting back to the primitive soul I`m running on instinct and rock and roll
Tonight I`m gonna run reckless, take my hands off the wheel
Yeah I`m gonna run reckless I`m gonna follow what I feel, it`s what I feel
I`m a man with a mission, never get myself caught
I`m gonna do like I always do, hit the road and I`m off like a shot
Now I`m a couple of miles from paradise, hugging the curves I`m gonna make up lost time tonight
Yeah I`m gonna get it right
Now I`m flying at the speed of sound, gonna go all night don`t let my motor run down
Tonight I`m gonna run reckless, take my hands off the wheel
Yeah I`m gonna run reckless I`m gonna follow what I feel, it`s what I feel
Don`t need a rear view mirror to see the turns behind
The road stretches to the horizon
Tonight I`m gonna run reckless, take my hands off the wheel
Yeah I`m gonna run reckless I`m gonna follow what I feel, it`s what I feel

 
     
 
 
     
  ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE (Carl Dixon)


There`s a full moon over the rooftops, a glass of whisky in my hand
And I want to drink to all that we once had living in a dreamland
Yes I still remember the good times, oh they mean a lot to me
But it won`t change a thing to bring `em up now
We should just let `em be, let `em be
Baby can`t you see that`s the way things are.
Don`t you know that we could never reach so far
Across the great divide There ain`t no way to get to the other side
We can`t turn back the tide. There`s just you looking at me
Across the great divide
So I`m writing you this letter `cause it`s hard for me to say
Girl I`m gonna miss your love for the rest of my life
But I couldn`t keep living that way, there`s just no way
Baby I believed we would walk in the sun
Never thought I`d see the day that we were done
Across the great divide There ain`t no way to get to the other side
We can`t turn back the tide. There`s just you looking at me
Across the great divide
Now that I`ve finally found my freedom, Oh, I can`t give it all back
I`m better living my life the way that I want, Oh, then to live like that
`Cause I`ll never look back
Across the great divide There ain`t no way to get to the other side
We can`t turn back the tide. There`s just you looking at me, tell me what do you see
Across the great divide
