Summertime Life Salgado/Phillips In the park it’s a family day Blankets laid out in the lawn and shade And I’m looking for a cool place by the riverside Down a way where the stream divides There’s a place my babe and me can hide And we’ll sit and rub our noses Just like eskimoses And it’s 95 degrees outside That summertime life Yeah, summer is so alright Hot days and a clear starry night That’s a summertime life Yeah, summer is so alright Hot days and clear starry nights That’s a summertime vibe I call my girl Tell her let’s get gone The job description when the heat is on Is to cruise the wide countryside With the windows down, Awww yeah And down the way where the road divides There’s a place where we can hide And we’ll sit and hold our hands And come to understand that Life is love and love is right Chorus Porch swings and lemonade And all the joy that it brings on a sunny day Chorus back to top I Sleep With the TV On Salgado/Walker/Stewart I hang my head and I cry Out of left field, I was so suprised A dear John letter told me goodbye This house is so lonely Now that you’ve gone Every night I sleep with my TV on I miss you most about four a.m. That’s when lonliness starts creepin in Blue shadows on the wall Surround me again My home is so lonely now that you’ve gone And every night I sleep with the TV on I sleep with my TV on All night movies, all night long It’s cold comfort, it’ll have to do Cuz it’s all I’ve got, till I get over you My home is so lonely now that you’ve gone And every night I sleep with the TV on Till the anthem sounds And the patterns fade Into a snowy dream Of you comin back my way Chorus back to top Funny Man Salgado/Scroggins I was out of town She was taking in a show Saw the kind of man she’d never seen before Who could tell a good joke And make the crowd roar She was insincere about the two of us She had everything But it wasn’t enough So the funny man gave her a show Had her screamin more, more Funny man He made her laugh, something I’d been trying to do If I could make her smile, I’d be a funny man too But funny man ain’t funny when he takes your love from you I used to make her laugh Have her rollin on the floor Then hold her in my arms and say I love you so And that’s a healin thing, that every heart needs But my love was weak And his lies were strong Said a few one liners No it didn’t take long They did their jive little dance And then they were gone Chorus back to top Wiggle Outta This Boe/Salgado/McClain Ever since you were two, you’ve been getting your way Promised a pillow til your dyin day And daddy held your hand while he walked you to school He never understood that he was raisin a fool Ya told me things were better, never be the same But here we go again, girl Let’s see you wiggle outta this…Let’s see you wiggle outta this one Now I don’t mind a girl who needs a little more But stretch it to thin I’m gonna show ya the door I saw you on the corner with some other guy Now you’re crawlin back to me ya gotta tear in your eye Your giving me your double talk and flat-out lies Your bubble’s bout to pop girl Let’s see you wiggle outta this one A blue carnation hangin on your chest Clothes are all the best and you look so good A diamond studded ring on your little toe Made me wanna know could I talk to you Sometimes the dream is better than the truth An empty box all tied up in bows Ya came ya saw ya put on your show Ya told me that ya loved me now I know Come on and wiggle outta this A blue carnation……….
