I Got A Feelin...

Old school blues song I wrote a while back... think Stevie Ray Vaughn...

Verse 1:
Well I was sittin in a bar on a Saturday night
Had a few drinks and was feeling alright
The man on the stage started playin some tunes
The bartender told me he was playin the blues
I got a feelin in my bones and I started to move
I started dancing and jumpin to that sweet groove

Chorus:
I gotta feelin...
I gotta feelin....
I gotta feelin in my bones I can’t explain
I gotta roaring in my chest like a freight train
I gotta feelin deep inside, let me tell you the news
I gotta feelin, gotta feelin, and I call it the blues

Verse 2:
Well I danced in that bar all night long
He played that guitar song after song
Each note he hit did that same old thing
It got me dancing and uh moving and starting to sing
When 2 am finally rolled around
The bartender told me “son you got to get out”

Chorus:
I gotta feelin...
I gotta feelin....
I gotta feelin in my bones I can’t explain
I gotta roaring in my chest like a freight train
I gotta feelin deep inside, let me tell you the news
I gotta feelin, gotta feelin, and I call it the blues

Verse 3:
Well I went to my car kinda feelin down
That feelin didn’t leave me all the way to my house
The next I went down to the music shop
I bought a guitar and learned how to rock
One year later I stand here now
I got blues coming in and blues going out

Chorus:
I gotta feelin...
I gotta feelin....
I gotta feelin in my bones I can’t explain
I gotta roaring in my chest like a freight train
I gotta feelin deep inside, let me tell you the news
I gotta feelin, gotta feelin, and I call it the blues

Waiting For You

I wrote this one with Josh and Wil about a year ago. Forgot all about it until I found our rough recording on my iTunes.

Waiting For You

Verse 1:
Come and walk with me tonight
Nothing left to hide
Stay a little while
Just open up your mind

The whisper on your lips
The softness in your eyes
Just lean a little closer now
I'll help you realize

Chorus:
I spend my life
Waiting for you
Just waiting for you
As days go by,
Nothing I can do, nothing I can do
Just waiting for you

Verse 2:
Here we are again my friend
This never seems to end
The night is ours to live
So where should we begin

Tell me it's in my mind
Tell me to just unwind
I'll open up my arms
I wanna have tonight

Chorus:
I spend my life
Waiting for you
Just waiting for you
As days go by,
Nothing I can do, nothing I can do
Just waiting for you

Bridge:
Bring me back to paradise
Just bring me back to life
Waiting on your love, I’ll be here
Take me deeper inside

Chorus:
I spend my life
Waiting for you
Just waiting for you
As days go by,
Nothing I can do, nothing I can do
Just waiting for you

The Moon

Verse 1:
She took the red eye to L.A.
As he waved goodbye, he didn’t know what to say
She was following her dreams, and he didn’t want to stand in the way

She said,
I’ll see you again,
I’ll write every chance I get
California’s not so far
And we’re not over yet

Then she turned around
And boarded the plane

Verse 2:
Well the days went by
Like a cold Friday night
Each day that past was harder than the last

He didn’t understand
Didn’t have a plan
All he knew was he had to see her again

Chorus:
He said,
I’m standing here
Staring at the moon
Thinking about you
And where you are

I know you’re out there too
Looking at the same moon
And in some strange way
It doesn’t feel so far

I’ll see you again soon
Meet you tomorrow night under the moon

Bridge:
He doesn’t understand
Why things don’t go to plan
This distance makes the heart grow tired
He’s knows in his mind
He’ll see her one more time
He looks up to the sky and begins to smile

Chorus:
I’m standing here
Staring at the moon
Thinking about you
And where you are

I know you’re out there too
Looking at the same moon
And in some strange way
It doesn’t feel so far

I’ll see you again soon
Meet you tomorrow night under the moon

Outro:
She took the red eye back from L.A.
You best believe he was waiting at the gate
He said, I didn’t think I’d see you so soon
As they walked hand in hand under the moon
