Happiness Found

Happiness Found

I came into town with a back pack on my shoulders

and a pocket full of stories that I just had to tell.

You know I’ve knocked around a bit

and had my share of small town glories.

It’s time to hit the city

and that crazy carousel.

I’ve been thinking now for so long.

I’m tired of going nowhere but,

I just keep moving on.

Till you brought your Sunday morning sunshine

Here into my Monday morning rain.

You gave me happiness just one time.

It keeps on coming back again and again.

You know when your heart is nowhere.

Then you’ve got no place called home.

So you keep on searching for somewhere.

Yet, you’re still just all alone.

It’s time to lay my feet down,

away from Lonely Street.

New adventures are somewhere.

As From day to day I see.

All the people going nowhere.

But, anywhere’s a better place to be.

Till you brought your Sunday morning sunshine

Here into my Monday morning rain.

You brought me happiness just one time.

It keeps on coming back again and again.

These roads were never my roads

These highways and the byways.

They were just a way for me

to drift from town to town.

I never thought I’d find

someone who could love me.

Till finally you were found.

I thought I’d drift forever

In my anguish and my leathers.

Always moving on but, really nowhere bound.

Till you brought your Sunday morning sunshine

Here into my Monday morning rain.

You gave me happiness just one time.

It keeps on coming back again and again.

The Devil’s Thunder

The Devil’s Thunder

Humans were placed on earth by aliens.

We are genetically altered Neanderthals.

Thru evolution we became “ today’s men.”

Earth is millions of years old. Changes happen.

Like cavemen evolving from a creature in the ocean..

Science proves it. Religion cannot trap them.

Going down with the Devils thunder.—-Going down.

Give me water.—-Give me water.

Going with the Devil down under—-Going down.

Give me water.—-Give me water.

I strongly believe there is life after death.

Be it ghosts, spirits, or a higher plain.

We will have a spirit form like the rest.

We are not sons and daughters of Cain.

It seems to me that God is dead.

The belief in a higher being has died.

People now have it in their head

They will “evolve” to eternal life.

Going down with the Devil’s thunder.—-Going down.

Give me water.—-Give me water.

Going with the Devil down under.—-Going down.

Give me water.—-Give me water.

I believe in magic and witchcraft.

Astrology can show your future life.

Magic can put curse or blessing on its path.

It can be a blessing or cause you much strife.

New age religion can save your soul.

Tarot cards can predict what’s coming down.

Devil worship is for those in the know.

To not believe this way makes you a clown.

Going down with the Devil’s thunder.—-Going down.

Give me water.—-Give me water.

Going with the Devil down under.—-Going down.

Give me water.—-Give me water.

The Bible is the word of God. The only truth.

If you don’t believe “The Word”, you will be lost .

Belief in any other words is the Devil’s “truth.”

He is the father of lies, which he tells at any cost.

When the Devil is cast out you will be too.

You’ll go down for eternity. You will be lost.

So get your truth from the Bible. It’s only for you.

Then you’ll be saved. Jesus has paid the cost.

Going down with the Devil’s thunder.—-Going down.

Give me water.—-Give me water.

Going with the Devil down under. —-Going down.

Give me water.—-Give me water.

Going down.—-Going down.—-Going down.

Coming To Reason

Coming To Reason

Yesterday was a day that was.

Today is a day for us.

Tomorrow is the sum of it all.

Depending on if you stand or fall.

We have gone and we have come.

We have set them on the run.

We have dug deep for the truth.

We did it all in our youth.

Baby, stay.—Close your eyes and pray.

This is our day to stand.—- To stay.

Trouble can find you wherever you go.

Trouble isn’t fast and trouble isn’t slow.

So, stay baby, stay.—-Stay.

Pray baby, pray.—-Pray!!

We have lived in a small town.

It was small, but, it was our town.

Later on, we moved around.

But, our hearts were in the small town.

We were caught between now and then.

Yesterday and today, we have been.

Tomorrow is the sum of it all

If we don’t pray then we will fall.

Baby, stay.—Close your eyes and pray.

This is our day to stand.—- To stay.

Trouble will find you wherever you go.

Trouble isn’t fast and trouble isn’t slow.

So, stay baby, stay.—-Stay.

Pray baby, Pray.—-Pray!!

It’s Forever

It’s Forever

I think back to the day,

we were married in the month of May.

You were so beautiful,

and I cried. I loved you so.

All my dreams of happiness

were coming true that day of bliss.

“It’s forever”, you heard me say

when you said “I do”, that day.

Without you —-

I know I can’t go on.

Without you —-

There is no morning dawn.

Without you —-

The stars no longer shine.

Without you —-

I know I’ll lose my mind.

Without you —- Without you.

I think back to the time

we spent together when you were mine.

You were so wonderful.

I never wanted to let you go.

I lived every day for you.

Your love for me was always true.

“It’s forever”, I told our friends.

I hoped that it would never end.

Without you —-

I know I can’t go on.

Without you —-

There is no morning dawn.

Without you —-

The stars no longer shine.

Without you —-

I know I’ll lose my mind.

Without you —- Without you —-.

It ended on that day,

the angles came to carry you away.

“Please God! —- Tell me why?”

“Was there a reason for her to die?”

She was so beautiful,

and, you know I loved her so.

“It’s forever”, —- was a lie!!

It ended the day she had to die.—————R. W. Johnson—-(1994)

It’s Heavenly

It’s heavenly

Sometimes we walk on a beach all alone.

We gaze at the waves and the sky.

You cling to me & give a little groan.

Here we are darling. Only you and I.

And I say to myself. It’s heavenly!!

Oh, so heavenly my love.

Sometimes we go hand in hand to a park.

We watch people playing & having fun.

We look in the trees and see a lark.

His song talks about the love he’s won.

And I say to myself. It’s heavenly!!

Oh, so heavenly my love.

Sometimes were home watching TV.

You cuddle up and hold my hand.

My eyes blur so I can hardly see.

I hold a treasure in my hand.

And I say to myself. It’s heavenly!!

Oh, so heavenly my love.

Love is such a wondrous thing it’s true.

But, it wouldn’t have much meaning without you.

You are my world. My guiding light.

Without you my world would have no light.

Sometimes we drive in the country for fun.

We look at all the sights to see.

We see a dog chasing a rabbit on the run.

I laugh as I pull you close to me.

And I say to myself. It’s heavenly!!

Oh, so heavenly my love.

Sometimes we go to an alley to bowl.

Were not good, but we give it a try.

You laugh at me as a gutter ball I roll.

I said I’m not good. It’s not a lie.

And I say to myself. It’s heavenly!!

Oh, so heavenly my love.

Sometimes we hug like it will never end.

I kiss you with passion from my heart.

I feel the vibes that your body can send.

I know now that we will never part.

And I say to myself. It’s heavenly!!

Oh, so heavenly my love.———————-R. W. Johnson—– (2012)

Fire And Ice

Fire And Ice

Is living with my wife paradise?

Or, am I caught between the fire and ice?

Is she the way she supposed to be?

I often felt it wasn’t right to me.

The fire is an emotional outburst of explicative’s.

Now, you can see just how sick it is.

The ice is the deadly silence that follows.

Makes you feel like your hung from a gallows.

Is this paradise?

Caught between the fire and the ice.

Is this the way it supposed to be?

It just doesn’t seem right to me.

It could happen at most any time.

I don’t believe the fault is always mine.

I sometimes feel like I’ll come unglued.

But, I say no!!– I will not be fooled.

I know I’m living in paradise.

Caught between the fire and the ice.

This must be what it supposed to be.

Because I know she really loves me.———–R. W. Johnson—-(2011)

No Comfort In The Truth

No Comfort In The Truth

She was acting squirrelly. Something is wrong.

I’ll just be patient. It won’t take long.

The truth will come out sooner or later.

I’d rather be pulling teeth from a gator.

Then she says it’s got to end. It’s over.

She can’t go on . It’s no field of clover.

We just don’t seem to be compatible.

It seems to be where it’s at, you know.

There is no comfort in the truth

This is driving me through the roof.

Makes me suspicious . Is she lying?

Is there another? She’s not crying.

How much longer must this go on?

Probably just until she’s gone.

There’s no comfort in the truth.

This is driving me through the roof.

I said we share most everything.

We are even both right wing.

We like much of the same things.

Any more alike would be boring.

She said don’t try to change my mind.

It’s not like something that you find.

Then put in your pocket to keep around.

I am feeling lost instead of found.

There is no comfort in the truth.

This is driving me through the roof.

Makes me suspicious. Is she lying?

Is there another? She’s not crying.

How much longer must this go on?

Probably just until she’s gone.

There is no comfort in the truth.

This is driving me through the roof.

What are you talking about?, I said.

You make me feel like I am dead.

You’re not something that I found.

Your someone I want around.

That’s the point. I’m not a “thing.”

No, I’m not trying to be mean.

What I’m saying; I’m an individual.

A living person with a free will.

There is no comfort in the truth.

This is driving me through the roof.

Makes me suspicious. Is she lying?

Is there another? She’s not crying.

How much longer must this go on?

Probably just until she’s gone.

There is no comfort in the truth.

This is driving me through the roof.

Damaged Love

Damaged Love

I called this girl up for a date.

She declined saying I was too late.

I asked her what did she mean?

She said she didn’t want to be mean

But, she wanted a committed person.

Not a relationship with a cursed man.

She said I might make a good pet.

But I wasn’t ready for commitment yet.

I was a victim of damaged love.

I needed help from up above.

One too many trips to Lonesome Town

Too many times I’ve played the clown.

I have a permanent room at Heartbreak Hotel.

My heart has been stomped & ripped to hell.

I need a true love to repair my heart

Aching for your love & not knowing where to start.

She said I had been burned way too often.

My heart was nailed into a coffin.

My emotions were nearly dead.

Mostly, I was out of my head.

I couldn’t trust enough for true love.

I was a victim of damaged love.

A commitment was just a dream to me.

Running scared at the thought of it would be.

It might be too late to save such a mess.

I might be alone until my death.

One too many trips to Lonesome Town.

Too many times I’ve played the clown.

I have a permanent room at Heartbreak Hotel.

My heart has been stomped & ripped to hell.

I need true love to repair my heart.

Aching for your love & not knowing where to start.

The Valley Of Decision

The Valley Of Decision

Life is more than women and wine.

You have to settle down sometime.

I know, I know, you say party on bro.

Life is just one great big show.

Tell me, since your such a bright guy.

Do you feel the parade is passing you by?

Think about it for awhile.

Don’t just sit there with a smile.

Here is some words for thought.

Read them but, don’t get distraught.

You’ve got to walk that lonesome valley.

You’ve got to walk it by yourself.

Oh, nobody can walk it for you.

You’ve got to walk it by yourself.

“What the hey?” I hear you say.

“What’s that got to do with today?”

Think about it. You’re a party guy.

When you leave you’re pretty high.

Then here comes the bad luck.

You get run over by a truck.

Do you think you will be ready to go?

With all that parting & putting on a show.

If your mind has a little doubt.

Think about it. You’ll figure it out.

You’ve got to walk that lonesome valley.

You’ve got to walk it by yourself.

Oh, nobody else can walk it for you.

You’ve got to walk it by yourself.

I think you’re starting to see the light.

You can drink and party all night.

But, no matter what you do.

You can never run away from you.

Someone loves enough to forgive

all you’ve done to try to live

in a world full of sin and hate.

Turn to Him before it’s too late.

He will give you peace of mind.

He’ll love you till the end of time.

You’ve got to walk that lonesome valley.

You’ve got to walk it by yourself.

Oh, nobody else can walk it for you.

You’ve got to walk it by yourself.————-R. W. Johnson—–(2012)
