Blues is a Feeling  copyright 1996 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Blues is a feeling / Sometimes up and sometimes down / Blues is a feeling / Make your head just spin around  / Blues come walking on silent footsteps / In every corner of every town / Blues is a feeling / Sometime fast and sometimes slow/ Blues is a feeling / Late night knockin’ at your door / In the mean old midnight hour / Those lonesome blues will lay you low / Blues is a feeling if you’re black or white/ Blues is a feeling things ain’t working right / Your feet get heavy and your head gets light / It’s a sticky situation in the middle of the night  / Blues is a feeling if you’re a woman / if you’re a man / In the mean old midnight hour blues will get you if it can / Blues is a feeling  / If you’re young or if you’re old / It can fill your blood with fever / Chill you till you’re cold / Blues is heartbreak hangin’ heavy / When you got no hand to hold./ Blues is hair that’s turned to silver / Blues is love that’s bought and sold / Blues is a feeling if you’re a woman if you’re a man / In the mean old midnight hour blues will get you if it can

Long Distance Love Affair  copyright 1994 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
First he's here, then he's there / Who knows why? / Who knows where? / First he's there, then he's gone / Day after day after day, on and on and on / It's a long distance love affair  / A long distance love affair / She sits alone most every night / Watches the sunset slip out of sight / She sits alone lonesome and blue / Nothing she can say, nothin she can do / It's a long distance love affair / A long distance love affair / Waiting and watching and wondering when he 'll return /Thunder and lightning it's frightening when the fire begins to burn / He's on the road a rounder on the roam / She's on the edge a prisoner in her home / Tied to the rules tied without ropes / Passion and pain smashin all hopes / It's a long distance love affair / A long distance love affair / Waiting and watching and wonderin if he'll return / Thunder and lightnin' it's frightenin' when the fire begins to burn / Puts in a coin and calls her on the phone / Heart made of steel head made of stone / He hears her voice can almost see her face / Hungers for her kiss remembers her embrace / It's a long distance love affair / A long distance love affair

Tango For The Tuba   (instrumental) copyright 1994 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson

Workin' My Way Back Home  copyright 1977 Robert ‘One-Man’ Johnson
Been thinking 'bout you and me / Thinking 'bout how things used to be / I'm working my way back home / Been hopin for a brand new day / Ain't no price to high to pay / I'm working my way back home / I been wrong I know  / My age is starting to show / My brakes are starting to fade / Remember when we used to have it made? / Been thinking bout days to come / Contemplating how the race is run / I'm workin my way back home / You were good to me  / But I just failed to see / The way the butter spread on my bread / I wish I hadn't said all the things I said / Been so long since I seen your face / Doggone long since our last embrace / I'm workin my way back home

It Don’t Mean Diddly  copyright 1999 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
They say you’re something special in your fancy foreign car / You raise your pinky finger when you eat your caviar / And strut your stuff seductively in Ferragamo shoes / But baby I see through you , you got the rich girl blues / And late at night together, when you’re in this poor boy’s arms / It don’t mean diddly / Daddy gives you anything your little heart desires / Mama she moves mountains for the stuff her kid requires / And all your high tone girlfriends at the debutante cafe / Are waiting for Prince Charming / He'll surely save the day / But late at night together, when you’re in this poor boy’s arms / It don’t mean diddly / bridge: / I guess that we weren’t meant to be together /  / Cuz we come from two different parts of town / Clearly we’re not birdies of a feather / Your family and your friends all put me down / But baby shove that stuff aside, forget all of that family pride / It don’t mean diddly when no one’s around / I read about your coming-out in people magazine / All the paparazzi and the menu haute cuisine / The bachelor boys all lining up to kiss your velvet glove / But all that adulation doesn’t add up to true love / Late at night together, when you’re in this poor boy’s arms / It don’t mean diddly / It’s probably impossible for us to stay like this / With your family pre-arrangement for some / nuptial night of bliss / Ken and Barbie luxury laid out Las Vegas style / In a neon colored mansion on the million dollar mile / But late at night together, when you’re in this poor boy’s arms / It don’t mean diddly

Still Blue Cuz I Don’t Have You  copyright 1998 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
I got a pin stripe suit, alligator shoes / Got a pork pie hat and the walking blues / I got a Rolex watch and a little bit of time to lose / But I’m still blue cuz I don’t have you / Got a pocket fulla money all in 20 dollar bills/ Got a big old house up on the top of the hill/ Got a Cadillac and I got a chauffeur too / But I’m still blue cuz I don’t have you / Man, this life’s mystery/ Earthly possessions just don’t meant that much to me / Mister all that glistens isn’t gold / What you gonna do when there is no one home to hold / Got a big screen TV with remote control/ Got a CD player playing that rock n’ roll / Got a VCR and I get the satellite too / But I’m still blue cuz I don’t have you / Oh, what’s the use of living high / Everything they’re givin is just pie up in the sky / I got power and wealth, hell I even got my health / Still there’s something special that I need / Got an offshore bank, a stock portfolio / Got a Lear jet waiting and it’s raring to go / I got a lot of everything it’s true / But I’m still blue cuz I don’t have you

Shame On You  copyright 1999 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
chorus: / It’s a shame what you do/ Shame, shame, shame, shame on you / Crime doesn’t pay  / It’s gonna get you in the neck some old day / You said that you loved me  / Said that you’d be true / You lied to me through those pretty white teeth / Shame, shame, shame on you / You said that we’d stick together  / With a bond like super glue / Well, the bond is broke, your love is just a joke / Shame, shame, shame on you / chorus: / Fool me once shame on you  / Fool me twice and it’s shame on me / Fool me again and baby it’s the end / Shame, shame, shame on you / chorus: / Now that it’s all over, I’ll bid you a last adieu / Bon voyage, cest la vie / shame, shame, shame on you

That Filthy Look  copyright 1997 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Don’t gimme no filthy look,  / I ain’t gonna let you off the hook / You done every dirty trick in the book,  / Don’t gimme no filthy look / Don’t gimme no evil eye,  / Crocodile tears like you’re about to cry / that boat won’t float, that airplane just won’t fly / Don‘t gimme no filthy look / I’m sick and tired of the subterfuge,  / Won’t tolerate no dirty deeds / You better straighten up and fly it right,  / A little honesty is what the romance needs / Don’t gimme no alibi,  / That heartfelt look like you’re about to cry / I’ve heard it all before it’s just one more try / Don’t gimme no filthy look / I’m sick and tired of the status quo,  / Your nasty negativity / It looks like one of us has got to go  / And I got news for you it won’t be me / Don’t gimme no salty tears,  / All those excuses fall upon deaf ears / That same old, same old I been hearin for years / Don‘t gimme no filthy look

Let's Get Primitive  copyright 1999 Robert ‘One-Man’ Johnson
This world is moving at a hectic pace / ‘Bout to wipe that smile right off your face / You and me maybe ought to think things over / One of these days we’ll both be pushing up clover / Let’s simplify the way we live / Let's get primitive / Turn off that TV and the VCR / This technology has gone too far / Unplug the phone and the answer machine / Sit down beside me and let’s make the scene / Let’s simplify the way we live / Let's get primitive / Remote control that, remote control this / We just sit around and watch ourselves getting fat / Digital that, digital this / There's still no such thing as a digital kiss / Let’s simplify the way we live / Let's get primitive / Last night I had the strangest dream / No ‘lectricity and no machines / You and me stranded on a desert isle / Wearing nothing but a wink and a smile / That’s the way we ought to live / Let's get primitive / That scenario don’t seem too bad / Think of all the good times we once had  / I know you think I’m living in the past / But people crash and burn when they drive too fast / Let’s simplify the way we live / Let's get primitive

I Lost My Head  copyright 1999 Robert ‘One-Man’ Johnson
Long black hair tangled in my brain  / Dark brown eyes pierced my heart / Ivory skin blinded up my eyes / A kiss that ripped my lips apart / chorus: / I lost my head, lost my head  / (The magic spell that she said) / I lost my head / Dancing body filled thoughts  / A voice invaded my mind / Ran like the wind still I was caught / Couldn’t put temptation behind / chorus: (Down the path I was lead) / Long-time love’s not based on fantasy  / Fabric frays away too easily / Romance hanging by a single thread / blink your eyes and quickly your love is dead / chorus: (Nothing left but a shred) / Late night liquor flowing like the sea  / I pushed her and she pushed me / Anger sprang from words that were said / Words were hurled, eyes turned red / chorus: (Another romance is dead)

Dangers of Love  copyright 2000 Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Just when you think you know what's on her mind / She changes direction and leaves your heart behind / That's a danger of love / Just when you think you know false love from true / Reality rears up and rips your heart in two / Another danger of love / They say it's better to have loved and lost Than not to love at all / But the guys who make those proverbs up  / Don't know how hard we fall / Just when you think your world has come to an end / You forget about your broken heart and fall in love again / That's the danger of love / It's a risky proposition,  / Is true love worth the price? / When kisses burn like fire  / But hearts are cold as ice / Just when you think you've healed your broken heart / Cupid shows up and shoots you with another dart / Another danger of love / Like riding on a carousel and  / Reaching for the ring / Up and down and round and round  / But you never learn a doggone thing / About the dangers of love / These are the dangers of love
