Lose the City
words/music by Tom Foster
[INTRO: [G]-[D]-[EM]-[C]
[VERSE 1]
Let’s forget the city's senseless pace
We need to find a quiet place
We’ll leave behind the constant fuss
The open road is calling us
[VERSE 2]
So, let's drive through the countryside
Where the roads stretch far and wide
This life will bring a perfect day
As we seek out our own way
[CHORUS 1: [EM]-[AM]-[C]-[G]-[D]-[G]
Rolling hills with skies of blue
This is where we find our truth
Nature's song is soft and dear
This is where it all comes clear
[VERSE 3]
Beneath the moon so clear and bright
We'll leave our worries for the night
The gentle breeze will set us free
As we feel perfect harmony
[BRIDGE]
Ooh, let's forget the city, in this countryside so fine
Driving through the country, finding peace and peace of mind
[CHORUS 2]
Rolling hills and skies of blue
This is where we find our truth
Nature's song is sweet and clear
Now we know we're finally here
[VERSE 4]
Driving through the country
Let’s leave it all behind
With every mile, we find ourselves
In the beauty of our mind
[VERSE 5]
Riding down the open road
Leaving the city far behind
Fields of green and skies so blue
Peace and quiet, we will find
[OUTRO]
The hustle and bustle fades away
As we chase the setting sun
In this moment, we're truly free
But our journey has just begun
[SHORT INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO]
You’re Not Getting Your Records Back
words/music by Tom Foster
[INTRO]
[BRIEF SOLO]
[VERSE 1]
We broke up a few weeks back
We'd gone our separate ways and I lost track
I’m here to tell you now and it’s a fact
You’re not getting your records back
[VERSE 2]
You told me you thought I was a maniac
There wasn’t time for me to pack
You lost the keys to my cadillac
So, you’re not getting your records back
[BRIDGE]
It wasn’t you, it wasn’t me
On that we both agree
Disagreement is our legacy
It all ended so suddenly
[CHORUS]
You lent me your records, I lent you my heart
I though that we would never part
That all worked till we fell apart
My love for you was off the chart
[LEAD GUITAR SOLO]
[KEY CHANGE UP TWO HALF STEPS]
[VERSE 3]
There’s no way you're coming back
You told me all the things I lack
Now vinyl is making a big comeback
But you’re not getting your records back
[VERSE 4]
Our separation is written in stone
But wait, is that you on the phone?
Maybe I won't be so all alone
You can have your records back
[OUTRO]
[GUITAR SOLO]
Everything Is on the Line
words/music by Tom Foster
[VERSE 1]
I was sitting at a stoplight
Waiting for the colors to change
Listening to the radio
Waiting for the world to change
As the colors changed to green
The world looked like a TV screen
Sitting at a stoplight, waiting for the colors to change
[CHORUS]
Everything is on the line
We're all looking for a sign
We're all searching for the truth
It may be too hard to see
But everything is on the line
On the line for you and me
[VERSE 2]
I was sleeping in the café
When the smoke bomb failed to light
The revolution started
And the chaos filled the night
The guns were loaded,
The air was still
It was time to pay the bill
[PRECHORUS]
Fight the battle, win the war
Win the battle, fight the war
They want war we want peace
That's all we're fighting for
[Chorus]
Everything is on the line
We're all looking for a sign
We're all searching for the trut
It may be too hard to see
But everything is on the line
On the line for you and me
[VERSE 3]
The clarion had sounded
The march was on
The drums had pounded
The march was on
But the music fell on deaf ears
The people kept dancing
And wanting more
[BRIDGE]
And the angels drew circles in the sky
And they never wondered why
And the angels drew circles in the sky
[VERSE 4]
Reluctant captains gave the orders
Reluctant warriors crossed the borders
The fight was on from dusk to dawn
But the people are the soldiers
Who've been marching all along
[CHORUS]
Everything is on the line
We're all looking for the sign
We re all searching for the truth
It may be hard to see
Everything is on the line
For you and me
[BRIDGE]
Sitting at a stoplight, waiting for the colors to change
Sitting at a stoplight, waiting for the colors to change
Sitting at a stoplight, waiting for the colors to change
[OUTRO]
And the angels drew circles in the sky
And the angels drew circles in the sky
And the angels drew circles in the sky
The circles became halos for the heroes and saints
And they never wondered why
Talk of the Town
words/music by Tom Foster
Verse: Dmaj7 - Bmin7 - Gmaj7 - A add 9 - A6
Chorus: G maj 7 - F# min 7 add 11 - E min 7 - G / A - A (Open A F D A Open E)
[Verse 1]
She’s the Talk of the Town
She’ll turn your head around
Reluctantly renown
Yea, she’s the Talk of the Town
She’s the Talk of the Town
She knows how to swing and sway
The wind that blows her soft perfume
Will somehow blow my troubles away
What if I talk to her? How would she respond?
Maybe if I take a chance and ask for a dance
We can talk all night if the music is right
Maybe if I ask for a kiss, at least she’ll know I exist
Then one day she and me we’d be the Talk of the Town
[Verse 2]
She’s everything there is to see
She is who she is, all she can be
She’s everything, so hard to forget
She’s everything to me
She just doesn’t know it yet
[Chorus 1]
Somewhere between her myth and mystery
You’ll forget all about your little misery
Somewhere within her rhythmic gait
There’s her folklore and a bit of her history
[Bridge]
Axiomatic… enigmatic…. aromatic… mesmoratic
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
She’s the Talk of the Town
Though no one knows her name
Her hair is golden brown
They’ll talk just the same
No one knows her name
She’s the talk of the town
[Chorus 2]
Maybe if I take a chance and ask her for a dance
Maybe in a week or two
Maybe if I ask for a kiss she’ll know I exist
Maybe for a week or two, or a month or two, or a year or two
[Verse 4]
Has she ever been in love
Has she ever been kissed
She’s as pure as a new-born dove
I just can’t resist
The talk of the town
My Baby Don’t Talk Like That
words/music by Tom Foster
[Intro]
[AAsus4G5A]
[AAsus4G5D/F#]
[Verse 1]
My baby don’t wear no shoes
She’s the best dressed girl in town
She don’t need no fancy jewels
She’s the prettiest girl around
My baby don’t sing the blues
My baby got nothing to lose
[2-bar short guitar solo]
[VERSE 2]
My baby don’t talk like that
My baby don’t walk like that
My baby’s the finest thing
She always makes me sing
We never have a fight
‘Cause my baby’s always right
[Chorus]
I’m proud of my baby
Proud to be her man
She’s always been my steady
I’ll do everything I can
To keep her by my side
To keep her by my side
[Verse 3]
My baby don’t tell no lies
She’ll never make me cry
My baby don’t lean like that
My baby ain’t mean like that
My baby don’t get real mad
My baby don’t act real sad
[Bridge]
I’m bragging ‘bout my baby
She’s the joy of my life
And I don’t mean maybe
I ain’t telling no lies
[Verse 4]
She keeps me on my toes
She wears the modern clothes
My baby’s voice is sweet
Her lovin’ can’t be beat
[Bridge]
She don’t need no introduction
Everybody knows her name
She’s not about seduction
But she drives me half insane
[Chorus]
I’m proud of my baby
Proud to be her man
She’s always been my steady
I’ll do everything I can
To keep her by my side
I need her by my side
[Outro – Same as Intro]
When my baby calls my name
Chills go up my spine
When we get together
Everything is
Oh
So
Fine
