DOWN AND DIRTY By Tom Gray ©2012 Gray Matter Publishing (BMI) I lost my job, I lost my home I lost my wife and all I own Time to take a look around See what’s shaking in this town Down and dirty in the street But I won’t admit defeat You ain’t beat till you say so Down and dirty, here we go And I say hey Don’t throw my love away And I say ho You it hurts to see you go Down and dirty, this is true A woman who won’t stick by you Was never yours, so now you know Down and dirty, let her go And I say hey Don’t throw my love away And I say ho You it hurts to see you go Down and dirty, this is true A woman who won’t stick by you Was never yours, so now you know Down and dirty, let her go Down and dirty, let her go

BLUES IN A BOTTLE By Tom Gray ©2012 Gray Matter Publishing (BMI) Blues in a bottle Lord, I wish I could Put these blues in a bottle And lock ‘em up for good It’d be aged about right by now Have a pretty good bite and how We could pour it out and have a taste Be a shame to let it go to waste That’s the real thing Rolling round your tongue Take a sip, have a little nip We can cork it up when we’re done Blues in a bottle Lord, I wish I could Put these blues in a bottle And lock ‘em up for good Telephone keeps ringing Radio keeps singing Some forgotten song from 1963 Stirring something deep inside of me I may never See your face again But I wonder if you feel this way too When you take one on the chin Blues in a bottle Lord, I wish I could Put these blues in a bottle And lock ‘em up for good Blues in a bottle Wish I could somehow Put these blues in a bottle And cork the stopper down That’s the real thing Rolling round your tongue Take a sip, have a little nip We can cork it up when we’re done Blues in a bottle Lord, I wish I could Put these blues in a bottle And cork ‘em up for good Blues in a bottle Wish I could somehow Put these blues in a bottle And cork the stopper down Cork the stopper down Cork the stopper down

WALK OUT IN THE RIVER By Tom Gray ©2012 Gray Matter Publishing (BMI) I crossed the desert in a red Chevelle Took a room in a pink motel A color TV and a minibar And a neon sign that said, “No va”. Can see for miles and miles, seems like It’s daylight here, but I can see the night Sweeping cross the plain from east to west And I feel my heart beating in my chest Oh yeah, walk out in the river Yeah, but the river’s run dry You got to walk out in the river No one can see you cry Local boys with nothing to do Shooting Budweiser cans with a .22 Put a bullet inside the AB ring You can make another target just by doing your thing Oh yeah, walk out in the river Yeah, but the river’s run dry You got to walk out in the river No one can see you cry There’s a little girl down by the swimming pool side Blowing bubbles with angels trapped inside When the bubbles pop the angels go free And they fly away to heaven ‘cross the galaxy Oh yeah, walk out in the river Yeah, but the river’s run dry You got to walk out in the river No one can see you cry Yeah, walk out in the river Yeah, but the river’s run dry You got to walk out in the river No one can see you cry

NEON JESUS By Tom Gray © 2012 Gray Matter Publishing (BMI) Last night I took a walk out State Street Past the tattoo parlors and the topless bars With one eye shut and my jaw all swoll up I was tasting blood and I was seeing stars From a rooftop down by the river I saw a light and I heard a buzz People talk about a neon Jesus I looked up and, buddy, there he was Glow on, neon Jesus What a sight, what a sight to see Glow on, neon Jesus Shine your light, shine your light on me Shine your light on me People talk about Jesus, they talk about Allah They talk about the way things used to be People talk about hell, people talk about heaven They talk about people like you and me I know there’s a light in the darkness Angels don’t mean you no harm On a rooftop down by the river He’s waiting there with open arms Glow on, neon Jesus What a sight, what a sight to see Glow on, neon Jesus Shine your light, shine your light on me Shine your light on me Glow on, neon Jesus Glow on, neon Jesus Glow on, neon Jesus What a sight, what a sight to see Glow on Glow on Glow on Shine your light on Shine your light, shine your light on me
