Rock And Roll Lady

In Memory of Tina Turner!


Rock And Roll Lady

 

I’m hitchhiking a ride to New Orleans                    

Gonna hang out with the closet queens          

There’s a pawn shop that sells used dreams            

And I’m looking for a brand-new scene                  

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

Born in poverty living in troubled times

Feel the fight resonating in the rhymes

When you got nothing you take a chance

Rock and Roll Lady do you want to dance?

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

I heard your man treated you really cruel

Every now and then we all play the fool

One day you woke up and found the door

Ain’t gonna take that abuse no more

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

 

I got my plastic records and my phonograph

Rock and Roll Lady you make me laugh

Rock and Roll Lady you make me cry

Rock and Roll Lady you can never die

 

Riches and fame were part of the prize

But the true treasure was getting wise

Rock and Roll Lady never compromise

Good things come to the one who tries

 

Rock and Roll Lady now your free

Singing with the angels for eternity

Rock and Roll Lady I got my memory

In my mind I always find your beauty

Shades Of Blue


Shades Of Blue

By John Kaniecki

There are many shades of blue
And all I recall
Remind me of you

There are many shades of blue
Wide, thin, small and tall
But none of them are true
I see the sky
I cry
I see the ocean deep
I weep
There are many shades of blue
And all I recall
Remind me of you
And how you weren’t true
So what’s a poor boy to do?

There are many shades of blue
And I’d trade a kingdom or two
For one of those days full of charm
When I held you tight in my arms
But the past has fled
And my heart is dead
It is no longer red
But alas
Entrenched in a blue steadfast

There are many shades of blue
And I wish I never knew
Your love so tender and sweet
So in bitter defeat
I lay these words at your feet

There are many shades of blue
And the poet cannot conceive
Or the man of faith believe
Or have a clue
Of the love one can receive
From somebody as wonderful as you
