You Ask Me

YOU ASK ME - Written by Carroll Bryant

You ask me who she is

Her name is Lorraine and I love her

More than anyone will ever know

You ask me what she is

She's my everything and I need her

More than anyone will ever know

Maybe I am feeling too strong for her 

In such a short time

But she's the one who makes me feel so good inside

You ask me where I am

I'm in heaven and I love it

Flying so high in the sky

You ask me what it is

It's something surreal and I need it

Flying so high every night

Maybe I am feeling too strong for her

In such a short time

But she's the one who keeps me so very satistfied

Wishes hanging by a thread 

Rainbows dancing in my head

Visions that fill up my eyes

In a place we yearn to know

Unicorns and where flowers grow

Lost in time

Her little hand wrapped up in mine

And so now you know I'll never let her go

Unless she asks me to

I'll keep her forever to prove

That my heart is true

My heart is true

My love to prove

You asked me and so I told you the truth

The Encounter (Boy Meets Girl)

THE ENCOUNTER (BOY MEETS GIRL) - Written by Carroll Bryant

When does a man stop acting like a child?

When does a man stop being so wild?

When does a man stop going out at nights?

When does a man stop getting into fights?

When does a man stop losing self respect?

When does a man stop looking like a wreck?

When does a man stop being so cruel?

When does a man stop being so blue?

It's when boy meets girl

When boy meets girl

It's when boy meets girl

And this boy has met a girl

When does a man learn to settle down?

When does a man find out what he's found?

When does a man get what he wants?

When does a man learn about love?

When does a man gain responsibility?

When does a man really get to be?

When does a man try to do his best?

When does a man finally pass the test?

It's when boy meets girl

When boy meets girl

It's when boy meets girl

And this boy has met a girl

Life has been so eventful

Nothing to sacrifice 

You're going full throttle 

No time to realize that you are alone

Your love has no home

But in a summer's night

Your eyes met mine 

When does a man start searching for his soul?

When does a man find a place to go?

When does a man gain prosperity?

When does a man finally believe?

It's when boy meets girl

When boy meets girl

It's when boy meets girl 

And this boy has met a girl 

The Midnight Train

THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN - Written by Carroll Bryant

Gave the man my ticket

Took a seat and drifted away

Woke up a little later

And found the night took the place of day

Asked the man sitting next to me

If he could give me the time

A quarter to twelve was his answer

And I still got you on my mind

Looking out of the window

Watching the falling rain

Thinking about you

Riding on the midnight train

Drank myself a cup of coffee

Crushed out my cigarette 

All the love that you gave me

Was a little too much to forget

And so I'm hoping to find you 

Riding on the tracks of my heart

And if and when I find you again

I'm hoping we can make a new start

And I'm looking out of the window

Watching the falling rain

Thinking so much about you

Riding on the midnight train

Dawn is slowly arriving

And the sun is making its way

Though the sun will be shinning 

To me it's still just a cloudy day

Searching for an answer

Why does love have to be so hard?

Inside all of the questions

There remains another broken heart

And I was looking out of the window

Watching the falling rain

Last night I thought about you

Riding on the midnight train

Looking out of the window

Watching the falling rain

Thinking about you

Riding on the midnight

Riding on the midnight

Riding on the midnight train

 

Sit Down With Me

SIT DOWN WITH ME - Written by Carroll Bryant

I watched her as she stood standing in the honky tonk for a while

I flashed her a grin of mine and she flashed me a smile

I wondered to myself could she be the answer to all of my dreams?

So I tapped her on the shoulder and asked, "Would you like to sit down with me?"

She struck me as an angel lost inside the scene

Shyly she nodded her head and took the seat across from me

We started touching and holding hands and I was sweating from the heat

I was glad I asked her that question, "Would you like to sit down with me?"

Sit down with me for the remainder of the night

Sit down with me for the remainder of your life

I hope I'm not coming on too strong from a feeling I can believe

And you sure would make me happy if you would just sit down with me

The night wore on forever to a song I couldn't sing

Would we stay together, or would she ever try and leave?

A world of sweet endeavors with kisses flavored with cream

I don't think she understands why I asked her to sit down with me

Sit down with me for the remainder of the night

Sit down with me for the remainder of your life

I hope I'm not coming on too strong, but I need you can't you see?

And you sure would make me happy if you would just sit down with me

The morning brought the sunshine through the window, through the trees

A ray of hope that was clinging on the edge of the summer breeze

She walked out like it was nothing which brought me to my knees

I asked her for one final time if she would just sit down with me

Sit down with me for the remainder of the night

Sit down with me for the remainder of your life

I hope I'm not coming on too strong from a feeling I can believe

And you sure would make me happy if you would just sit down with me

And you sure would make me happy girl if you would just sit down with me

Hunted Down

HUNTED DOWN - Written by Carroll Bryant

It's chasing me now

The reckless fate of our dreams

My spirit's possessed 

At least that's what it seems

Why do I always run when I'm under the gun?

Just once I would like to stand my ground!

I'm being hunted - down

Lost in my soul with nowhere to go

I'm being hunted - down

Trapped endlessly by the memory of you

Look in the sky

Can you see the falling of stars?

Never ask why

It's just the beating of my heart

My feelings are strange, and my thinking is so confused

Just once I'd like to fight my weight by the pound

I'm being hunted - down

Lost in my soul with nowhere to go

I'm being hunted - down

Trapped endlessly by the memory of you

Whispers and whisperings keeping me on my toes

The midnight wind that speaks every time it blows

I keep hearing thunder in the calmness of nights

Lightning keeps flashing right before my very eyes

Shadows are grey 

The fever runs hot in my mind

Sweat on my face

Knowing that I'm running straight out of time

My knowledge of self defense

Is useless - now that my life is spinning around

I'm being hunted - down

Lost in my soul with nowhere to go

I'm being hunted - down

Trapped endlessly by the memory of you

I'm being hunted - down!

 

Night Stalkers

NIGHT STALKERS - Written by Carroll Bryant

As the sun goes down

Shadows walk around

Searching the midnight

Underneath the moonlight 

They can't face the sunny side of life

They don't know what's wrong - what's right

What's wrong - what's right

A woman screams

Man penetrates his dreams

Another point in time

A different state of mind

They can't put a value on their soul

They don't know if they're gonna come - gonna go

Gonna come - gonna go

They're night stalkers

Roaming around with their bloodshot eyes

Night stalkers

Anything they do comes as no surprise

As the daylight comes

The zombies run

Shelter is sought

Without getting caught

They can't look reality face to face

They're just leftovers from another human race

From somewhere in outer-space

They're night stalkers

Going through life with dreams in their head

Night stalkers

Going through life like the walking dead

Spending their days just sleeping in bed

Beast of man

Just understand

It's a different world at night

It's a different kind of fight

Love isn't love until sex

As the sun goes down

Shadows walk around

Blood for an appetite

Flesh in the after-life

They can't see the truth right before their eyes

They can't think just to rationalize

They're night stalkers

Always the ones who take the blame

Night stalkers

They're the ones who feel the pain

Night stalkers

Living in sin without the shame

Night stalkers

Never the same as they change their names

Night stalkers

They're the ones always going insane

Night stalkers

Lonely Boy (Lonely Soul)

LONELY BOY (LONELY SOUL) - Written by Carroll Bryant

It seems I can remember when all I had were my real close friends

Girls just wasn't a part of my life

It might not have been the way I wanted it

It was just the way it had to be

There really wasn't a girl who wanted me

What a life, I remember

A lonely life, I still remember

Oh, such a lonely boy

Such a sad life, I remember

Boring life, I still remember

Oh, I was such a lonely boy

The years rolled by and times had to change

Especially with me, life had rearranged

Right about the time I turned seventeen

Good looking girls started looking my way

At first I didn't have that much to say

I had built a wall around me that I couldn't break

What a life, I remember

A lonely life, I still remember

Oh, such a lonely boy

Such a sad life, I remember

Boring life, I still remember

Oh, I was such a lonely boy

Since that time I guess i've had it made

So many girls I would take home

But I never fell in love with any of them

Living off of compliments all the time

It's driving me crazy, and out of my mind

Because I know that true love comes from inside the heart

It's not that I hate it all that much

But love is more than the physical touch

I guess I'm still looking for a lonely soul

I guess I still don't know which way to go

What a life, I remember

Dead dog life, I still remember

Oh, such a lonely boy

Such a sad life, I remember

Boring life, I still remember

Oh, I was such a lonely boy

I guess that I'm still searching for a lonely soul

I Want To Take You Away

I WANT TO TAKE YOU AWAY - Written by Carroll Bryant

I know that you are fond of me

I can see it in your eyes

Had a feeling come all over me

Caught me by surprise

I know you are here for summer vacation

You're going home today

Somehow I've fallen into a tough situation

I wanna take you away

I want to take you away

I want to take you away

Take you to the stars and never fade

I want to take you away

Life can be so damn well confusing

This we both know

Never in my life could I ever handle losing

And I don't want you to go

I know what is real and this is summer vacation

You're going home today

This restless heart and this tough situation

Is the price that I pay

I want to take you away

I want to take you away

Take you into a dream of fantasy

I want to take you away

Remember last night when I kissed you?

I never wanted a girl so much

Already now I miss you

Already now how I miss your touch

All I can do is scream

All I can do is dream

All I can do is tell you what you mean to me

I know you are here for summer vacation

You're going home today

Somehow I've fallen into a tough situation

I wanna take you away

I want to take you away

I want to take you away

Take you to the stars and never fade

I want to take you away

Gonna Be A Star

GONNA BE A STAR - Written by Carroll Bryant

Now I don't want you to think that I'm stuck up on me

But I carry around this feeling I'm gonna be what I want to be 

Now people say I won't make it

They think I won't get very far

But they don't know just what I know

I know I'm gonna be a star

Now all my life I've been kicked around 

Had some dreams buried in the ground

But this time out I'm going to turn the tables

I'm gonna turn them right around

And I read in a magazine it said, "Be who you are"

And when I know it's time for me I know I'm gonna be a star

I'm gonna be a star, oh I'm gonna be a star

I gonna have enough money in my pockets to buy me a brand new car

And I'll be the one with all the women and smoking those big cigars

Because they don't know just what I know

I know I'm gonna be a star

Now country music or rock and roll

It don't really matter to me

Writing books and songs or acting 

It won't make a difference to me

All I see is my name up in lights where all of you can see

And I got so much confidence I'll make a dream into reality

I'm gonna be a star, oh I'm gonna be a star

I gonna have enough money in my pockets to buy me a brand new car

And I'll go cruising around the city just to hit every bar

Because they don't know just what I know

I know I'm gonna be a star

I'm gonna be a star, oh I'm gonna be a star

I gonna have enough money in my pockets to buy me a brand new car

And I'll be the one with all the women and smoking those big cigars

Because they don't know just what I know

I know I'm gonna be a star

Because they don't know just what the hell I know

I know I'm gonna be a star

Catch You On The Flip Side

CATCH YOU ON THE FLIP SIDE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Well they tell you that you are doing right

You volunteered to fight the good fight

Then they treat you like a no good bum

Then it gets worse when you try and run

They just can not see how you got to be free

They are just prisoners of the deep blue sea

I'll catch you on the flip side

It's time for me to take a ride

Down the highway of my life

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Well they tell you of a better way

But they never tell you of the price you pay

Then they treat you like a bag of dirt

The longer you're in, the more it gets worse

They just can not see how you got to be free

They are just prisoners of the deep blue sea

I'll catch you on the flip side

It's time for me to take a ride

Down the highway of my life

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Are they just lonely people?

Are they just losers of life?

Are they just lonely people?

Stuck in the same place all the time?

Are they running scared?

When the waves come crashing down

It's gonna get wet everywhere

Everywhere

Maybe they're people who just don't care

They just can not see how you got to be free

They are just prisoners of the deep blue sea

I'll catch you on the flip side

It's time for me to take a ride

Down the highway of my life

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

The Angel (Book Of My Life)

THE ANGEL ( BOOK OF MY LIFE ) - Written by Carroll Bryant

As darkness falls around an already broken heart

I can see the shadow of your face

No, you're not the blonde I've been accustomed to seeing

Oh, you are the dark haired beauty queen

You are the angel

Pretty angel

I can see you angel

Pretty angel

As I sit here dreaming of how it should be

I turn through the pages of my life

The words are not too clear

The pictures old and faded

In the book of my life

I see you angel

Pretty angel

I remember you angel 

Pretty angel

No, you are not the blonde I am accustomed to seeing

Oh, you are the dark haired beauty queen

In the book of my life

In the book of my life

Pack up your dreams and send them all to me

I will try and make them to come true

Just for you ... angel

Only for you .... my angel

But now we both are free to be who we want to be

We have someone else in our lives

Are they just friends as we both claim them to be?

Oh, what do they really mean to our lives?

This is the book of my life

This is the book of our life

As darkness falls around an already broken heart

I can still see the shadow of your face

I still see you angel

Pretty angel

I remember you angel

Pretty angel

I want to be with you angel

Pretty angel

I still need you angel

Lovely angel

Still in love with you angel

Pretty angel

I still see you

Legend

LEGEND - Written by Carroll Bryant

Watch a unicorn fly

Lift up to the sky

On wings it's flying high

It's just a legend

Watch a rainbow live

Arches of colors, happiness it gives

Find the pot of gold

It's only legend

Just like you and me

We were something to see

So why can't we believe

That we were meant to be

We are legend

I watch the raindrops fall

As I think about it all

We only melted away

Like a legend

Dreams come to life at night

Lasting until the morning light

We only passed our time away

So much like a legend

Just like you and I

The love we allowed to die

Sometimes I will cry

Remembering the legend

Yes, we are now a legend

Just like the morning sun

Shinning down on everyone

Random hearts playing for fun

Running to be a legend

Just like you and me

We were something to see

So why can't we believe

That we were meant to be

Now we are legend

 The fate of you and I

The fate of tears we cry

Like birds shall kiss the sky

Our legend dies

Girl Of My Dreams

GIRL OF MY DREAMS - Written by Carroll Bryant

The first time I saw you, I wanted you

Just seeing you smile means everything to me

The only thing I fear is that you don't feel the way I do

Would you like it to be the way I want it to be?

You are the girl of my dreams

And I can't get you off of my mind

It's been so hard these days it seems

Good love is so hard to find

The last time I felt this feeling, I was just a boy

Who thought that love had no meaning at all

Played with that feeling as if it was a toy

I was only setting myself up for the big fall

You are the girl of my dreams

And I can't get you off of my mind

It's been so hard these days it seems

Good love is so hard to find

Don't tell me the things that I don't want to hear

I'll only cry if you do

And don't go shouting in my ear that I'm the biggest fool

I'm not a fool

I'm not a fool

I'm just falling in love with you

And don't go saying that I'm a crazy man

I'll only die if you do

And don't start claiming that you will do the best you can to understand

I'm not a fool

No, I'm not a fool

I'm just falling in love with you

You are the girl of my dreams

And I can't get you off of my mind

It's been so hard these days it seems

Good love is so hard to find

You are the girl of my dreams

This feeling took soul control

And I don't know what it means

Could it be I love you so?

You need to know

That you're the girl .... of my dreams

Staarr

STAARR - Written by Carroll Bryant

You seem so far away

And if I had you here I would make you stay

Are you really real?

Every part of you I would like to feel

The way you look in your videos

Thrill me from head to toe

Secretly you seduce me

As I watch you on my TV screen

Staarr

You're a big time star

Staarr

You have gone so far

As to become one of my fantasies

You seem too good to touch

Every part of you I want so much

You don't even know

Who I am yet my passion grows

The way you move turns me on inside

You thrill me, and that's no lie

Secretly you seduce me

As I watch you on my TV screen

Staarr

You're a big time star

Staarr

You have gone so far

As to become one of my fantasies

You get my motor running at full speed

I can't slow down, at least that's what it seems

So tell me now what can I do?

When all I want is just to meet you

Staarr

You're a big time star

Staarr

You have gone so far

As to become one of my fantasies

The Both Of Us

THE BOTH OF US - Written by Carroll Bryant

I sit here so confused for the first time

Trying so hard to control my heart

Just to figure it out drives me out of my mind

I don't want it to end so don't tear us apart

The both of us still have a lot to learn

I know that I'm the young one

But the both of us still have a lot of love

Let's forget that I'm the young one

Even though you are older

Don't let your love for me grow colder

The both of us still needs that shoulder

Let us not forget that we're in love

I sit here so alone for the first time

That's the feeling I feel inside my heart

Just to ease my soul drives me out of my mind

Tell me something that will make me smile, don't tear us apart

The both of us still have a lot to learn

I know that I'm the young one

But the both of us still have a lot of love

Let's forget that I'm the young one

Even though you are older

Don't let your love for me grow colder

The both of us still needs that shoulder

Let us not forget that we're in love

Don't lose sight of our direction

Don't make a U turn and slip away

All it takes is love and affection

You know we're going to find our place in the sun, someday

I sit here so abused for the first time

The last time

Going out of my mind

The both of us still have a lot to learn

I know that I'm the young one

But the both of us still have a lot of love

Let's forget that I'm the young one

Even though you are older

Don't let your love for me grow colder

The both of us still needs that shoulder

Let us not forget that we're in love

It's All Right

IT'S ALL RIGHT - Written by Carroll Bryant

You call me up on the telephone

You tell me that you're all alone

You know I know what's on your mind

Because we do it all the time

I got a girl and you got a guy

What we do makes us wonder why

So why are you always so uptight?

We're just two lovers who meet in the night

It's all right - all right

It's all right - all right

It's all right - all right

It's all right - all right

It's all right

You're so confused, you're so afraid

So what is wrong with getting laid?

You act like it's such a terrible sin

It's all a game where no one wins

It's all right - all right

It's all right - all right

It's all right - all right

It's all right - all right

It's all right

You ask this question once again

How did we get in this mess we're in?

You still come over and we turn off the light

We make love in the middle of the night

It's all right - all right

It's all right - all right

It's all right - all right

It's all right - all right

It's all right

Fantsay Of A Virgin In Question

FANTASY OF A VIRGIN IN QUESTION - Written by Carroll Bryant

Look closely at what you see

Do you want to touch this fantasy?

What goes through your head night and day?

Do your fingers help to pass the time away?

Tell me, baby, what do you dream?

Should I try to take a chance, and say it's me? 

You're all alone so, what do you do

In the privacy of your room?

They say you're a virgin

They say you're a virgin

They say you're a virgin

But, I don't believe them

There are no virgins

It's weighing heavy on your mind

Does reality bring you down all the time?

You're playing games, and you know that you will win

It's all the same because you know that you have sinned

Tell me, baby, what do you crave?

If not forever then a lover as a slave?

You're all alone so, what do you do

In the privacy of your room? 

They say you're a virgin

They say you're a virgin

They say you're a virgin

But, I don't believe them

There are no virgins

Buttercup, you're walking through a field 

Strawberry lips will kiss you on the veal 

Strange and scary, what kind of girl are you

In the privacy of your room?

They say you're a virgin

They say you're a virgin

They say you're a virgin

But, I don't believe them

There are no virgins

They're Digging Your Grave

THEY'RE DIGGING YOUR GRAVE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Some say you're crazy, but they don't understand

You're not some supernatural freak, but a very intelligent man

For if knowing the truth is such a hidden sin that you have to be so banned

Then tell me friend, when will it end?

Will they crucify you like they did to the man?

They're digging your grave, David

They're going to try and put you under

They're digging your grave, David

They're going to try and put you down

Some say you're lazy, but they can't grasp the truth

You're not some Sunday afternoon loafer, just trapped inside your youth

For if wanting to be free is such a hidden hateful law that you have to be disowned

Then tell me friend, are you going to fall?

Or will they push you aside and leave you alone?

They're digging your grave, David

They're going to try and put you under

They're digging your grave, David

They're going to try and put you down

So if you need a hand 

I will be around

I will be the one who will never let you down

If you find yourself so lost that you just cannot be found

I will be around 

I will always be there

Some say you're crazy, but they don't understand

You're not some supernatural freak, but a very intelligent man

For if knowing the truth is such a hidden sin that you have to be disbarred 

Then tell me friend, when will it end?

Will they keep trying to change the person that you are?

They're digging your grave, David

They're going to try and put you under

They're digging your grave, David

They're going to try and put you down

Sex Is Sex

SEX IS SEX - Written by Carroll Bryant

I know a side street woman

And her mind's made up

She needs a bully in her loving cup

For fifteen minutes 

She will drive you crazy

With punctuation she is a lady

Sex is sexy, sex is sex

She said it

Sex is sexy, sex is sex

She said

Walking in the midnight

With her short dress on

Waiting on the corner like a working girl

For fifty dollars

She will do anything

With imagination she's the queen and you're the king

Sex is sexy, sex is sex

She said it

Sex is sexy, sex is sex

She said

Sex is sexy, sex is sex

She said it

Sex is sexy, sex is sex

She said

If she ever gets married

In which I doubt

She will show her husband what it's all about

For fifteen years

She will spend his money

After the tears, she'll find another honey with more money

Sex is sexy, sex is sex

She said it

Sex is sexy, sex is sex

She said

Sex is sexy, sex is sex

She said it

Sex is sexy, sex is sex

She said

Sex is sexy .... sex is sex
