Happy Again

HAPPY AGAIN - Written by David Hrisko and Carroll Bryant


He was a great man
Did everything he can
Nothing could stand in his way

Do all he can looking for his shiny day

When he could see his dream
He could be happy again
But it always seemed 
He couldn't step out of the rain 

He was a young man
Did all he can
But he knew he didn't have much time

Do all he can just trying to preserve his mind

He took her hand
He took her life
He took a loan on all of his rhymes 

When he thought he found his dream
He could be happy again
But it always seemed 
He couldn't step out of his own way

He was a great man
Did everything he can
Nothing could stand in his way

Do all he can looking for his shiny day

When he could see his dream
He could be happy again
But it always seemed 
He couldn't step out of the rain 

Happy again
He wants to be happy again
He could be happy again

My Country Girl

MY COUNTRY GIRL - Written by Carroll Bryant 


She always wakes up in the morning
With a lovely smile
And all I try to do for her is really worth the while
And I know without a doubt that I'm her only man
That's what makes me do for her everything I can

Because she's my girl
And I love my girl
I will always love my country girl
I want my girl
I need my girl
I will always love my country girl

I'm always thinking of her and to this I have to say
She gives to me all of her love
Every single day
And I gave her my heart and soul until the end of time
And I'm so happy and so proud to say that she is mine

Because she's my girl
And I love my girl
I will always love my country girl
I want my girl
I need my girl
I will always love my country girl

Now that I have let you know exactly how I feel
You should know without doubt
That our love is real
And I will give to her, my love
The rest of my life
From now until forever
She will always be my wife

Because she's my girl
And I love my girl
I will always love my country girl
I want my girl
I need my girl
I will always love my country girl

In The Middle Of A Journey

IN THE MIDDLE OF A JOURNEY - Written by Carroll Bryant


Days are too long
Nights are too short
Rain will fall and fall

Through it all
I travel down my road
I heed the call 

Wave goodbye to my friends
See you on my journey's end
A new life shall begin again

So you see, I'm just like you
I got a purpose too, that can only fit me
Like yours can only fit you

And everybody shares in a purpose
Everybody is aware too
Everybody here can rejoice in the knowledge 
They have a job to do
Until their days are through

You journey your entire life away
Fighting to just get by
Struggling to stay alive

But time is wasting much too much away
It's all you can do to feel free
It's so hard to break those chains

I won't give up when I'm in the middle of a journey
Searching for love
Searching for freedom

I love being free
Making my own choices for myself
This life I made fits me
Not anybody else

But there are people trying to take that away
They think they know better
I'm in the middle of a journey 
Trying to save the earth and earthlings
Trying to save freedom

I will survive
Or meet my demise all alone
In the middle of the night

I will cry 
For the loss of freedom and of life
To the young I say
To the young I pray
To the young we gave away

I'm sorry
I'm so sorry
For fucking up your journey
If freedom was your thing
America took it away
And I'm sorry

I will cry 
For the loss of freedom and of life
To the young I say
To the young I pray
To the young we gave away

We took away your freedom

I'm sorry

My Two Best Friends

MY TWO BEST FRIENDS - Written by Carroll Bryant


I have got a lot of friends running around this town
And we go out every night when the sun goes down

You know it seems to me that once we start it never ends
I really, really believe that my two best friends are Jack and Jim

You know I got me a girlfriend and I know that her love is true
But I don't think she can get me going like my friends Jack and Jim do

You probably think I am crazy and I might have reached the end 
But you will have to believe me that my two best friends are Jack and Jim 

Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam
They're all that I party for
Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam
Could you please just pour me some more

You know I like rock and roll music 
I really like who I am 
And when I add Jack and Jim to it
 I can really crank out the jams

I know you think I am crazy and I might have reached the end
But you will have to believe me that my two best friends are Jack and Jim

Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam
They're all that I party for
Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam
Could you please just pour me some more

Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam
They're all that I party for
Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam
Could you please just pour me some more

You know it seems to me that once the party starts it never ends
I really, really believe that my two best friends are Jack and Jim

Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam
They're all that I party for
Jack Daniel's and Jim Beam
Could you please just pour me some more

With Her Again

WITH HER AGAIN - Written by Carroll Bryant


Waking up in the depths of the night
In a hot cold sweat
I can see her face
I can hear her voice
Her name I forget

Only through the touch of the wind
Can I feel her skin
And it makes me want to be with her again

A flower grows
A flower dies
Such is the fate of my life
And for the beauty of its bloom
It gets picked for someone's wife

Only by the light of the moon
Can I feel her love get in
And it makes me want to be with her again

The summer air brings new beginnings
The winter snow covered all the pain
I believe that I'm still living
By the grace of sin
And it makes me want to be with her again

To the sun
I see it shinning
Reflections of an angels face
To the stars
Their light is blinding
Amongst the darkened vast of space

Only through the thoughts of love
Might I find my way and then
And it makes me want to be with her again

Only through the touch of the wind
Can I feel her skin
And it makes me want to be with her again

Could the magic just make it happen
Just in so that I can be
With her again

China Girl

China Girl - Written by Carroll Bryant 


When everything is sweet 
We don't need to think about it 
As far as I can tell
There is no need to talk about it 

Like a refugee, you came to me 
I brought you into my world 
And I don't need nobody else 
Just my China girl 

China girl
Oh my China girl
China girl
Oh my little China girl 
Take me in your arms and make love to me tonight 
Whisper in my ear that it will be all right 
Oh darling, I need you, my China girl 

There you were all alone
The danger was just beginning 
Your skin was cold as freaking stone 
But the fire was starting to stinging 

Like a communist lie, you dared me to try 
I brought you into my world
And I don't want  nobody else 
Just my China girl 

China girl
Oh my China girl
China girl
Oh my little China girl 
Take me in your arms and make love to me tonight 
Whisper in my ear that it will be all right 
Oh darling, I need you, my China girl 

Like a storm in the night, you were my light
I brought you into my world
And I don't need nobody else
Just my China girl 

China girl
Oh my China girl
China girl
Oh my little China girl 
Take me in your arms and make love to me tonight 
Whisper in my ear that it will be all right 
Oh darling, I need you, my China girl

In The Blink Of An Eye

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE - Written by Carroll Bryant


Standing in the dawn of your light
A burst of emotion inside
I reflect to the time when life introduced you and I
And in my thoughts I find
That love became through the course of time
And not like I thought in my mind
To happen in the blink of an eye

I, for one, am strong inside
Yet, in my dreams, I hide
Only now to find that I am only as strong as time
And happiness in life is reaped from the rewards
Of time
And not like I thought in my mind
To happen in the blink of an eye

Nothing by chance can shame me
So blame me if you want
Only your heart can tame me
Forsake me with your love

Standing in the dawn of your light
A burst of excitement inside 
I am prompted by love to be blind
And think with a content mind
Maybe you're a sign
That love becomes through the course of time
And never as I thought in my mind
To happen in the blink of an eye

Only inside my heart, I find
That love is always yours and mine
To happen through the course of time
And never like I thought in my mind
And never in the blink of an eye

Standing in the dawn of your light ........

This Time (All The Way)

THIS TIME (ALL THE WAY) - Written by Carroll Bryant 



It came down like lightning from the sky
I can't find myself a reason
A reason why I feel this way 
So let me tell you what I want to say

Girl, I've been watching you
You know you got me so confused
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I don't know if I want you, but I think I really do

This time I'm gonna take it all the way 
This time I'm gonna try my best
Can't wait for another day
Don't want you to be like the rest

Satisfaction is never guaranteed 
But I know that you're what I need
I don't want you to be another dream
Come away with me

Girl, you're giving me a heart attack
I'll need your love to ever bring me back
Let me show you girl right where I'm at
Here's where I am
Right here
Right now

This time I'm gonna take it all the way 
This time I'm gonna try my best
Can't wait for another day
Don't want you to be like the rest

So many hearts get broken
Too many dreams get stolen
Can't stand the rain
Can't stand the pain
I simply can't stand it anymore
I feel like I'm going crazy
Insane

Girl, I've been watching you
You know you got me so confused
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I don't know if I want you, but I think I really do

This time I'm gonna take it all the way 
This time I'm gonna try my best
Can't wait for another day
Don't want you to be like the rest

The Taxman Cometh

THE TAXMAN COMETH - Written by Carroll Bryant


The taxman cometh so run for your life
He's taxing your children
He's taxing your wife
He's taxing your soda like he's taxing your gas
He's taxing your genitals
He's taxing your ass
He's taxing you wide and he's taxing you far
He's taxing your soul
He's taxing your heart
He's taxing your wishes, your dreams, and your thoughts
He's taxing everything you have and everything you don't got

Why do democrats hate the poor?
Philadelphia freedom steals more and more
This state of affairs is really, really sad
Maybe they should tax for being a democrat?

The taxman cometh again and again
He's taxing your religion 
He's taxing your sins
He's taxing the air that you mother-taxing breathe
He's taxing you when you come home and taxing you when you leave
He's taxing your riots and your protests, too
He's taxing you so hard because he thinks you're a fool
He's taxing your bacon, your eggs and your cheese
He's taxing you when you cough and taxing you when you sneeze
He's taxing your pride, your name, and your clout
He's taxing you until you forget what he's taxing you about 

Why do democrats hate the poor?
Philadelphia freedom steals more and more
This state of affairs is really, really sad
Maybe they should tax for being a democrat?

The taxman cometh because he needs to take
Even more money from your hands, your bank
The taxman cometh to tax your days
The taxman cometh because he needs a raise 

The taxman cometh 

Why do democrats hate the poor?
Philadelphia freedom steals more and more
This state of affairs is really, really sad
Maybe they should tax for being a democrat?

The taxman cometh

Another Place, Another Time

ANOTHER PLACE, ANOTHER TIME - Written by Carroll Bryant


I have tried so many times
To get you off my mind
No matter how hard I try
I can't succeed 

I have danced before your eyes
I have long since come to realize 
You are all I want
You're all I need

Maybe another place, another time
I could have been yours
You could have been mine
Maybe another kiss, another hug
We could have fallen in love
Another age or stage of our life
You could have been my wife

I have cried in the night
Lie awake until the morning light
I have held my pillow so tight
While yearning for you 

It has been so very long
It has been so very wrong
I guess it was in our song 
Two lonely fools

Maybe another place, another time
I could have been yours
You could have been mine
Maybe another kiss, another hug
We could have fallen in love
Another age or stage of our life
You could have been my wife

Maybe another roll of the dice
Another night
Or another moment that is perfectly fine

Maybe another chance 
Another dance
Two arms that hold each other tight

I have tried so many times
To get you off my mind
No matter how hard I try
I can't succeed 

I have danced before your eyes
I have long since come to realize 
You are all I want
You're all I need

Maybe another place, another time
I could have been yours
You could have been mine
Maybe another kiss, another hug
We could have fallen in love
Another age or stage of our life
You could have been my wife

Get Down

GET DOWN - Written by Carroll Bryant 


Another Saturday night and I'm feeling all right
I got the blood pumping in my veins 
I got my girl and I got Jim Beam
Life is looking better again

I'm going over to Joe's because everybody knows
That's where all the parties begin
After that we'll cruise 
We got nothing to lose
Everyone was born to sin

And if I had one message for this small hip town
That message would be
Everybody get down

So get down
Get down
Everybody got to get down
Get down
Get down
Everybody got to get down

I don't like bad news and I'm not singing the blues
So forget about it
Don't even try
Because this is the night that you leave well enough alone
Having just the time of my life

And if I had a message for everyone
That message would be
Everybody have fun

And get down
 Get down
Everybody got to get down
Get down
Get down
Everybody got to get down

Another Saturday night and I'm feeling all right
I got the blood pumping in my veins 
I got my girl and I got Jim Beam
Life is looking better again

And if I had one message for this small hip town
That message would be
Everybody get down

So get down
Get down
Everybody got to get down
Get down
Get down
Everybody got to get down

Get down and party
Oh, yeah

Forbidden Love

FORBIDDEN LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant


I could write a hundred million songs
Sing them in my head until the crack of dawn
And I could dedicate them all to you
Cherish every word
But what good would it do
If I don't even take you by your precious hand
You would not understand
Sometimes I wonder if I do

I could wish upon a falling star
Ride it through my dreams
Until I give it to your heart
And I could dedicate its shine to you
Cherish it like gold
But what good would it do
If I can't even tell you that my love's at your command
They would not understand
Sometimes I wonder if I do

I wish that I could hold you in my longing arms
Whisper in your ear
Reveal my lonely heart
But life can be so evil when love is spaced by time
Though from the act of tenderness
That in my fantasies I find

Our love

I could walk a hundred million miles
With blisters on my feet
Greet you with a smile
And I could dedicate the quest to you
Cherish every step
But what good would it do
If I can't even show you how much you mean to this man
You would not understand
Sometimes I wonder if I do

From Rock And Roll To Country

FROM ROCK AND ROLL TO COUNTRY - Written by Carroll Bryant 



It's nice to know you're with me
It's nice to know you care
It's nice to know that we will grow together

You give me such a feeling
You know I'll always be there
It's nice to know that we will last forever

We're both still really young, but we're both so much in love
And we know that we were meant to be
I'm maturing just a little so honey, please stick with me

I'll go from rock and roll to country
From a boy into a man
I know that I can do it just as long as I got your hand
I'll go from rock and roll to country
You will see that change in me
Through the years we'll spend together I will go
From rock and roll to country

You know I like all music
And I write country songs the best
But rock and roll still has a hold on me

It seems to take me back
To when I was just like the rest 
Living so unpredictable and free

And I want to grow with you
This I know for sure
I'll stay with you for all eternity 
I'm maturing just a little so honey, please stick with me

I'll go from rock and roll to country
From a boy into a man
I know that I can do it just as long as I got your hand
I'll go from rock and roll to country
You will see that change in me
Through the years we'll spend together I will go
From rock and roll to country

We're both still really young, but we're both so much in love
And we know that we were meant to be
I'm maturing just a little so honey, please stick with me

I'll go from rock and roll to country
From a boy into a man
I know that I can do it just as long as I got your hand
I'll go from rock and roll to country
You will see that change in me
Through the years we'll spend together I will go
From rock and roll to country

Flesh To Flesh

FLESH TO FLESH - Written by Carroll Bryant


Flesh to flesh
Sex to sex
I like it

We can take a journey to the center of our sex
But what's the point if we can never learn?
Living in the temple of our individual flesh 
What's the point if we keep getting burned?

Just like a light switch
We turn it on 
We turn it off
There's nothing more that's really left to say
You bitch
Hiding in our secret life just so we can jack it off
The price that everyone of us must pay

Let's get hysterical
And do it until the virgin bleeds
A nymphomaniac that's tortured by too many souls
That have inside, way too many needs

Flesh to flesh and sex to sex
Flesh to flesh 
I like it
Sex to sex and flesh to flesh
Sex to sex
I like it

We can take a journey to the center of our sex
But what's the point if we can never win?
Living in the temple of our individual flesh 
What's the point if she won't let us in?

We can tell each other that it's just the way we live and die
Knowing all too well it's just our youth
We can stay unfaithful because we don't even care to try
When everything we do is centered towards us telling the truth

Let's get hysterical, and fulfill all of our primal needs
A nymphomaniac that enjoys torturing virgins
Just to watch them bleed

Jacking off to their dirty deeds

 Flesh to flesh and sex to sex
Flesh to flesh 
I like it
Sex to sex and flesh to flesh
Sex to sex
I like it

I really like it girl

We can take a journey to the center of our sex
Living in the temple of our individual flesh

I like it

We can love and hate each other 
Turn it on or turn it off
Hiding in our secret thoughts 
Hiding just to jack it off

The secret sauce 

Flesh to flesh and sex to sex
Flesh to flesh 
I like it
Sex to sex and flesh to flesh
Sex to sex
I like it

Living in the temple of the sex
Living in the temple of the flesh
Living in the temple of the sex
Living in the temple of the flesh

Living in the temple of our quest

We can take the journey to the middle of our life
Husband and the wife
Temple of the sex

We can take the journey to the middle of our way
Lesbian or gay
Temple of the flesh 

The youth is the truth
Invite them as our guests
Everything is centered towards the sex 

So soon to be abused
Invite them to our flesh
Everything is centered towards being the best

Flesh to flesh and sex to sex
Flesh to flesh 
I like it
Sex to sex and flesh to flesh
Sex to sex
I like it


I like them

Living in the temple of the sex
Living in the temple of the flesh
Living in the temple of the sex
Living in the temple of the flesh

Living in the temple of our quest

Living in the temple
Giving in the temple
Living in the temple of our individual flesh
Living in the temple of the sex

Flesh to flesh

I like it

Flowers And Butterflies

FLOWERS AND BUTTERFLIES - Written by Carroll Bryant 


I met her one night at the Old Dodge Saloon 
That look in her eyes and the smell of her perfume 
I didn't know much but, the one thing I did 
I'd be feeling her touch and tasting her sweet, sweet kiss 

The way that we moved to the music on the dance floor of love 
Struck in our hearts forever, and she said to me in my ear 

I like flowers and butterflies
I like the way that I look when I look in your eyes 
Dance with me, baby, for the rest of my life 
I wouldn't be a bit surprised 
If I spend my forever standing by your side 
I like you
I like love
I like flowers and butterflies 

Who would have thought it would turn out this way?
Holding her all night and holding her all day
I guess that it's true that a prayer can be heard 
It starts with some hope, putting thoughts into words

The way that we are together in the life we both have come to hold dear
Stuck in our hearts forever as she leans into me and whispers in my ear 

I like flowers and butterflies
I like the way that I look when I look in your eyes 
Dance with me, baby, for the rest of my life 
I wouldn't be a bit surprised 
If I spend my forever standing by your side 
I like you
I like love
I like flowers and butterflies

And now I know what it means 
To find everything you held in your dreams
You came true 
Wonderful you 

Your love came true

I like flowers and butterflies
I like the way that I look when I look in your eyes 
Dance with me, baby, for the rest of my life 
I wouldn't be a bit surprised 
If I spend my forever standing by your side 
I like you
I like love
I like flowers and butterflies

Songbirds (Loves Prayer)

SONGBIRDS (LOVES PRAYER) - Written by Carroll Bryant


Somewhere there is someone for me 
A light that shines endlessly
And even though my heart is beating for you little girl
Is it something that I can believe?

Dreams are for dreamers to dream
Like wishes that last for all eternity
I ride the waves that crash against my little world
Holding on so strong to my belief

You and I can fly into the sunset 
As it gently clings in between the sky and the sea
Holding on tight
Two songbirds in flight 
Love is you
Love is me

I believe

Through all the thunder
Pass all the rain
Lightning may strike us and cause all of our pain
Somehow
Someway
We will surely find a way
Love is you
Love is me

I pray

And god created this heart to feel for you
The angels all blessed it with their love so warm and true
Less to believers 
Kneel down before the sun
I know you are the one

I know you are the one

Somewhere there is someone for me
A light so bright for everyone to see
And though my heart is in love with you pretty girl
Is it something that I can achieve?

You and I can fly into the sunset 
As it gently clings in between the sky and the sea
Holding on tight
Two songbirds in flight 
Love is you
Love is me

I believe 

Through all the thunder
Pass all the rain
Lightning may strike us and cause all of our pain
Somehow
Someway
We will surely find a way
Love is you
Love is me

I pray

Love is our freedom and together we will stay free

Somewhere there is someone for me 
A light that shines endlessly
And even though my heart is beating for you little girl
Is it something that I can believe?

I will always believe

Don't Fight The Fire

DON'T FIGHT THE FIRE - Written by Carroll Bryant


Oh girl, you're looking so very good
To me
Better than any woman ever could 
Look what's happening 
To me
I'm losing full control
I got a flame burning in my soul
The flame's so high that I can't see
I got a voice inside my head that is trying to tell me something
Trying to tell me

Don't fight the fire
It's eating your desire
Sooner or later you're gonna get burned
Don't fight the fire
It's eating your desire
Sooner or later boy, you know you're gonna have to learn

Everybody telling me that love is a compromise
But I don't know
Sacrifice is realized 
Sure
How far can I go to get away with lies?
Give in to sugar and spice
People say I should be aware of something that can't be seen
I got this inner voice telling me
This is not a dream
It is the real thing
And it's telling me

Don't fight the fire
It's eating your desire
Sooner or later you're gonna get burned
Don't fight the fire
It's eating your desire
Sooner or later boy, you know you're gonna have to learn

Every love affair has a hair and needs shampooed away
Every romantic dare spins around until it pins you down
And makes you say
Uncle

The flame is so high that I can't see
I got this voice inside of my head
And it's telling me
It keeps warning me

Don't fight the fire
It's eating your desire
Sooner or later you're gonna get burned
Don't fight the fire
It's eating your desire
Sooner or later boy, you know you're gonna have to learn

Sooner or later you know you're gonna get burned
