ALBUM ANALYSIS:
"The Countryside is an original blend of Country and Pop music. It is electronic, yet has a warm analog feel as a digital recording, which is unique. Some of the material reminds me of the Urban Cowboy Sountrack, like "You're The Reason" and "More Than Ever Tonight". This album is more Suburban than Urban however."

01 THE COUNTRYSIDE (1985)

THERE'S AN OLD MAN AND HE'S WATCHING CARS GO BY
NO BETTER WAY TO SPEND HIS DAY OR PASS HIS TIME
HE'S WATCHING DAYS BECOME YEARS
AND KEEPS GROWING OLD WITH EVERY SHIFTING GEAR

BUT IF I COULD HAVE MY FIRST CHOICE
I'D BE SITTING THERE NEXT TO HIM
OH IF I COULD HAVE MY FIRST CHOICE
I'D BE LIVING IN, BE LIVING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
LIVING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

HE WAVES AT PASSER-BYS
NO BETTER WAY TO MAKE HIME FEEL LIKE HE'S ALIVE
HE SMILES AT ALL HIS FRIENDS SEES THEM PASSING BY
BUT NEVER STOPPING IN
-CHORUS-
AS SOON AS I GET HOME
I'M GONNA PACK UP, PACK UP MY THINGS
CUZ NOW'S THE RIGHT TIME TO GO
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR THE CHANGE
-CHORUS-
I'M GONNA PACK UP MY THINGS AND TAKE A LITTLE RIDE
MOVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THE FLOWERS GROW WILD
AND THE DEER RUN FREE
-CHORUS-

02 ONE MORE TIME (1985)

POUR ME ANOTHER DRINK
CUZ I NEED TO GET REAL HIGH
YA SEE MY BABY LEFT ME
AND NEVER EVEN SAID GOODBYE

SO HEY THERE JOE
PLAY ME THAT SONG JUST ONE MORE TIME
COULD YA PLAY IT JUST ONE MORE TIME?

JOE, YOU'LL HAVE TO BILL ME
I KNOW IT AIN'T THAT SMART
BUT I'M ALL OUT OF MONEY
AND YOU DON'T WANT A BROKEN HEART
-CHORUS-
I KNOW IT'S TIME TO LEAVE
CUZ THE TIME HAS COME TO CLOSE
OH COULD YA DO ME A FAVOR
JUST ONCE BEFORE I GO
-CHORUS-
-TAG-

03 ONLY THREE WORDS (1985)

IT'S FUNNY HOW YOU CAN BE LONELY
EVEN THOUGH SOMEBODY'S THERE
AND, IT'S FUNNY HOW YOU CAN FEEL EMPTY
EVEN THOUGH SOMEBODY CARES

IT'S WHEN "I LOVE YOU"
IS ONLY THREE WORDS,
WORDS

IT'S FUNNY HOW YOU CAN BE LONELY
EVEN THOUGH SOMEONE'S AROUND
IT SEEMS YOU'RE TRYING TO HOLD ON
TO A FEELING THAT'S BEEN LONG GONE
-CHORUS-
AND, YOU TRY TO GO ON HOPING SOMEDAY
THAT THESE FEELINGS WILL GO AWAY
-CHORUS-

04 LOVE IT (1990)

ANY TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT
THE MOOD IS ALWAYS RIGHT
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR LOVE
AND THAT FEELING FEELS SO GOOD
LIKE I ALWAYS KNEW IT COULD
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR LOVE
I'M ADDICTED TO THE STUFF
MIND ASIDE, HAND IN CUFF
I'M ADDICTED TO THE NIGHT
AND I LOSE CONTROL
WHEN THE FEELING'S RIGHT SO

DON'T STOP DRIVING ME CRAZY
DRIVING ME CRAZY
I JUST LOVE IT WHEN
YOU'RE THIS WAY
OH, COME ON OVER NOW!
AND DON'T STOP
DRIVING ME CRAZY
DRIVING ME CRAZY
I JUST LOVE IT WHEN
YOU'RE THIS WAY
I JUST LOVE IT BABY!

WHEN I HOLD YOUR BODY CLOSE
MY WHOLE BODY KNOWS
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR LOVE
AND, NO MATTER WHERE WE GO
AS SOON AS WE GET HOME
I'LL WANT SOME MORE OF YOUR LOVE
I'M A PRISONER OF THE STUFF
MIND ASIDE, HAND IN CUFF
I'M A PRISONER OF THE NIGHT
AND I LOSE CONTROL
WHEN THE FEELING'S RIGHT SO
-chorus-

05 WHEN THE WORDS SEEM CLOSE (1985)

I SEE YOU, BUT IN YOUR EYES
I CAN'T MAKE A MOTION,
I'M HYPNOTIZED
YOU'RE THE ONE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

I FEEL THE BOND IS BREAKING APART
I'M SURE YOU'VE GOT ME SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD
YOU ALWAYS LISTEN BUT I'M NEVER HEARD
I TRY TO TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU,
BUT I'VE SAID NOTHING WHEN I GET THROUGH
CUZ WHEN THE WORDS SEEM CLOSE THEY'RE FAR AWAY....

I WATCH YOU WALK AWAY
YOU WANT A COMMITMENT THAT I WANT TO SAY
YOU'RE THE ONE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
-CHORUS-
HOW CAN I TELL YOU HOW I REALLY FEEL?
I KNOW MY LOVE FOR YOU IS REALLY REAL
THE WORDS ARE ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE
BUT THEY JUST DON'T COME
I GUESS I'VE BEEN ALONE TOO LONG
-CHORUS-

06 HONEY, YOU'RE NOT BEIN' SWEET (1985)

WELL, YOU WERE OUT PRETTY LATE LAST SATURDAY NIGHT
POLLINATIN' SOMETHING, HONEY IT AIN'T RIGHT
WELL, WHAT KINDA JACKIT DO YA THINK I AM?
TO WEAR IT OUT AND THROW IT AWAY IN THE END

HONEY, YOU'RE NOT BEIN' SWEET TO YOUR MAN

WHILE YOU'RE OUT TRAMPIN'WITH YOUR FAMILY FRIEND
I'M FLYIN' 'ROUND THE HIVE THINKIN' IT'S GONNA END
I'M BUZZIN' AND A STINGIN' GETTIN' ME A PLAN
'CUZ LYIN' AND A CHEATIN'THAT AIN'T GONNA STAND
-CHORUS-
HONEY, I'M GONNA LEAVE
HONEY, I'M GONNA LEAVE
GONNA LEAVE YA SOON
HONEY, I'M GONNA STING
HONEY, I'M GONNA STING
GONNA STING YA SOON

WHEN YOU'RE DONE DANCIN' WITH YOUR FAMILY FRIEND
YA COME HOME LYIN' 'BOUT WHERE YOU'VE BEEN
WELL, WHAT KINDA JACKIT DO YA THINK I AM?
TO WEAR IT OUT AND THROW IT AWAY IN THE END
-CHORUS-

07 YOU'RE THE REASON (1986)

IF YOU TURNED AROUND YOU'D FIND ME THERE
AND IF YOU TOOK THE TIME YOU'D SEE I CARE
MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE AND THE REASON

WHY I FEEL LIKE I DO
YOU'RE THE REASON WHY I FEEL LIKE I DO
YOU'RE THE REASON WHY

MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW THAT I'M EVEN HERE
MAYBE YOU'LL FIND OUT THROUGH THE YEARS
AND IF LOVE NEVER FINDS US, YOU'LL BE THE REASON
-CHORUS-
I'D LOVE TO TAKE YOU HOME
AND I'D LOVE TO TURN YOU ON
BUT I'VE GOT A LIFETIME
OF LOVE FOR YOU BUT
I'M SITTING HERE HIDING IT AWAY
WAITING FOR YOU TO LOOK
AT THE REASON
-CHORUS-

08 I WON'T SAY (1985)

I PLAYED A ROUND OF LOVE AND I LOST THE GAME
I WONDER WHAT IKEEP TRYING FOR

AT ONE TIME I WAS YOUR LOVER
AND AT ONE TIME I WAS YOUR FRIEND
BUT NOW THERE HAS COME ANOTHER
TO BRING THIS GOOD LOVE TO AN END
AND NOW I'M NOT THE ONE
THAT YOU WANT STANDING AT YOUR DOOR
SO I WON'T SAY WHAT I USED TO SAY TO YOU ANYMORE

YOU USED TO TELL ME HOW YOUR LOVE WAS TRUE
JUST TO HAVE ME SAY THAT I LOVED YOU MORE
-CHORUS-
STILL SOMEDAYS I GET A FEELING INSIDE
TO WALK UP TO YOU AND SAY, "I'M STILL IN LOVE,
AND WILL ALWAYS BE, I WILL ALWAYS BE..."
-CHORUS-

09 MORE THAN EVER TONIGHT (1986)

I'M SITTIN' HERE DRINKIN', FILLIN' UP THE SPACES
JUST FILLIN' THE VOID WITH A VODKA AND TONIC AND GIN
IT'D MAKE ME FEEL BETTER JUST TO HEAR YOUR VOICE AGAIN

OH AND I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU
'CUZ YOU'D MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE
AND I'D LIKE TO HOLD YOU
AND I NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER TONIGHT

DOIN' THIS BUSINESS I SEE A LOT OF FACES
AND IT GETS TO THE POINT WHERE THE FACES ALL LOOK THE SAME
IT'D MAKE ME FEEL BETTER JUST TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN
-CHORUS-
-TAG-

10 TRUE LOVE IS HARD TO FIND (1984)

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT WORDS ARE VERY HARD TO FIND
TO EXPLAIN THESE FEELINGS IN THIS HEART OF MINE

ASK ME HOW IT'S FOUND
I'LL SAY IT TAKES A LONG TIME
BECAUSE TRUE LOVE IS VERY HARD,
VERY HARD TO FIND

DON'T YOU KNOW A LOVE LIKE OURS IS HARD TO FIND
SO DON'T THROW AWAY THIS SIMPLE SONG OF MINE
-CHORUS-
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT WORDS ARE VERY HARD TO FIND
TO EXPLAIN THESE FEELINGS IN THIS HEART OF MINE
-CHORUS-

11 A HEART THAT'S BROKEN (1987)

NOW THAT THE TEARS HAVE STOPPED FALLING
CAN I GO BACK TO BEING MYSELF?
DON'T GET ME WRONG
I'M NOT GONNA STAY DOWN HERE FOR LONG

BECAUSE A HEART THAT'S BROKEN CAN MEND AGAIN
IF YOU GIVE IT WHAT IT NEEDS
LOVE AND ATTENTION
THEN A HEART THAT'S BROKEN WILL MEND AGAIN

NOW THAT THE LIES ARE IN THE OPEN
CAN I GO BACK TO LIVING MY LIFE?
DON'T GET ME WRONG
I'M NEVER GONNA GIVE UP HOPING
-CHORUS-
NOW THAT I KNOW I'LL PROBABLY NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN
I'VE LEARNED LIFE HAS ITS HIGHS AND ITS LOWS
BUT SOMEDAY IT ALL WILL END
AND THEN MY HEART THAT'S BROKEN WILL MEND AGAIN
IT WILL WANDER FOR ITS NEEDS OF LOVE AND ATTENTION
THEN MY HEART THAT'S BROKEN WILL MEND AGAIN

12 ANOTHER LONELY HEART OF STONE (1984)

I WAS LONELY AND YOU WERE LONELY BUT WE DIDN'T LET IT SHOW
I WAS LAUGHING AND YOU WERE LAUGHING
THEN WE LET OUR FEELINGS GO
I FOUND ANOTHER LONELY HEART
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS TRUE

NOW I'M NOT ALONE
CUZ I FOUND ANOTHER LONELY HEART OF STONE JUST LIKE MINE
NOW I'M NOT ALONE
CUZ I FOUND ANOTHER LONELY HEART OF STONE
AND IT MELTED LIKE ICE

I WAS THINKING AND YOU WERE THINKING
BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
I WAS GAMBLING AND YOU WERE GAMBLING
BUT WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME
THERE WAS A BROKEN ACE OF HEARTS
DEALT UPON AN ACE OF SPADES
-CHORUS-

13 KISSES (1984)

AT FIRST I WAS TROUBLED BY THE WEIGHT OF HER STARE
WHEN SHE SAID HELLO I GUESS I REALLY WASN'T THERE
NOW LORD WOULD YA PLEASE ANSWER ME?
TELL ME IF THIS LOVE IS MEANT TO BE

CUZ I CAN TELL BY THE WAY SHE KISSES
MAMA THIS LOVE WAS MEANT TO BE
OH I CAN TELL BY THE WAY SHE KISSES ME
OH I CAN TELL

THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE WAY SHE ACTED THAT NIGHT
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE WAY THAT SHE HELD ME TIGHT
NOW LORD WOULD YA PLEASE ANSWER ME?
TELL ME IF THIS LOVE IS MEANT TO BE
-CHORUS-

14 NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU (1985)

WE LIVE IN TIMES
THAT'S LOST THE MEANING OF TRUE LOVE
AND MY FRIENDS SAY
FORGET ABOUT HER AND FIND A NEW LOVE

BUT I'LL HOLD NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU
I CAN'T TRY TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE
WHEN THERE'S NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU

WE LIVE IN TIMES
WHERE TRUE LOVE'S SO HARD TO FIND
I TELL MT FRIENDS
LOVE IS IN YOUR HEART, NOT YOUR MIND
-CHORUS-

15 IF YOU EVER LOSE YOUR LOVE (2002)

SOME MEN, THEY LOVE A WOMAN
AND SOME MEN LOVE A SONG
AND SOME MEN, THEY LOVE DOIN'
SOME THINGS THAT ARE PROBABLY WRONG
BUT THEY NEVER STOP BELIEVING
IN WHAT THEY'RE DREAMING OF
'CUZ THEY'LL LOSE THEIR LIFE
IF THEY EVER LOSE THEIR LOVE

NOW WOMEN LOVE THEIR CHILDREN
AND TEACH THEM RIGHT FROM WRONG
AND OTHERS LOVE THEIR HUSBANDS
UNTIL THE DAY HE'S GONE
BUT THEY NEVER STOP BELIEVING
IN WHAT THEY'RE DREAMING OF
'CUZ THEY'LL LOSE THEIR LIFE
IF THEY EVER LOSE THEIR LOVE

MOST PEOPLE LOVE THEIR COUNTRY
AND STAND UP FOR ITS RIGHTS
THEY'LL EVEN LEAVE THEIR FAMILIES
WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO AND FIGHT
AND THEY'LL NEVER STOP DEFENDING
WHAT THEY FEEL IS RIGHT
AND IF THEY LOSE OUR LOVE
THEN WE ALL LOSE OUR LIVES

SO DON'T YOU STOP BELIEVING
IN WHAT YOU'RE DREAMING OF
'CUZ YOU'LL LOSE YOUR LIFE
IF YOU EVER LOSE YOUR LOVE

16 DANCING TO THE CONCERTINA (1985)

LONG AGO WHEN ROCK AND ROLL WASN'T AROUND
YOUR GRANDMA AND GRANDPAPA STILL LIKED TO GET ON DOWN
YOU MIGHT THINK IT WAS SO DIFFERENT THEN
BUT NOTHING'S REALLY CHANGED

THEY WENT DANCING TO THE CONCERTINA
ROMANCING,
IT WAS A LOVE ARENA AND ANYWHERE WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE
THEY WENT DANCING TO THE CONCERTINA
ROMANCING,
IT WAS A LOVE ARENA JUST LIKE, JUST LIKE YOU AND ME

THEY MIGHT LEAD YA TO BELIEVE
THAT THEY WERE GOOD LITTLE KIDS
WELL, I WISH I COULD GO BACK AND SEE
JUST WHAT THEY DID
YOU MIGHT THINK IT WAS INNOCENT THEN
BUT NOTHING'S REALLY CHANGED
-CHORUS-
