Hired Gun Song Lyrics
Before They Painted Lines, by Larry West
1.
Well these truckers today have really got it made
Running cruise control on the super slab.
Smooth air conditioned ride, talking on cellular phones
Sitting in an air-conditioned cab.
The chromium so shiny. it kind of hurts their eyes
While they're trying to check out those red convertible thighs
But they don't know what it was like
Back Before They Painted Lines.
2.
Back then they were known as the knights of the road
And they kept plenty of respect
Traveling cross this country, the held an honor code
If you were there you won't forget.
Didn't need no license, never went to driving school
Had to use some horse sense in place of all these rules
It really took a special kind
Back Before They Painted Lines.
3.
Sure that driver had a rough life, but he'd never trade it in
On any job that would not roll
He had this taste for freedom only spinning wheels could bring him
Way down deep inside his soul
Now there's D.O.T. inspections, and they're checking on axle-weights
With laws and regulations that change from state to state
Never paid these kind of fines
Back Before They Painted Lines.
5
You've seen that broken down old Mack, the farmer's got rusting out back
Well that old rig was once the pride of Highway 99
From hard rubber on wooden spokes, right up to that big black cloud of smoke
Yeah, she could really tow the line
Sure, the road was winding, Steep and narrow too
But you could always count on that old bulldog to pull through
Listening to that engine whine
Back Before They Painted Lines.
6.
Now, you young truckers as you haul down the modern interstate
Ah, those new rigs rolling on!
Check Back in your rear view, remember the fate
Of a way of life that's almost gone
Try to imagine the way it must have been
Everything depending on that rig your driving in
You might know what it was like
Back Before They Painted Lines.

I’m Glad Your Bad, by Larry West
1.
Oh baby,
I wouldn't trade you for a cloud full of angels
Though you don't wear a halo and some wings
By some peoples standards, you might be kind of naughty
I don't have a problem with those things.
I'm Glad Your Bad
You won't have to pay a penalty
I don't mind your kind
Of cotton candy fantasy.
2.
Oh baby,
I wouldn't trade you for a runway full of models
Though you don't wear the latest dress design
Your idea of fashion keeps Victoria's secret
And you haven't even heard of Calvin Kline.
I'm Glad Your Bad
You won't have to pay a penalty.
I don't mind your kind
Of biological Diversity
BRIDGE
Late in the evening, when nobody sees
You begging forgiveness down on your knees
Each word that slips from your trembling lips
Loses all meaning every time you shake your hips.
3.
Oh baby,
I wouldn't trade you for a college full of scholars
Though you don't hold a diploma or degree.
You might not have the answers to the worlds greatest
problems
But you know how to make a fool of me.
I'm Glad Your Bad
You won't have to pay a penalty
I don't mind your kind
Creative sexuality.

What's Good For You, by Larry West
1.
Ain't got time for the bad dreams
Just don't get that much sleep
Though this life ain't what it seems
Don't want to sink in too deep.
CHORUS
Don't you know there's something
You shouldn't go without
Don't go forgetting
What I'm talking about
What's Good For You
2.
Heard it on the radio
Watched it on T.V.
Something everybody knows
Still they won't believe
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Don't you know that time keeps passing by
Heart's keep breaking, so many people cry
You ain't never gonna find the answer why
Till you learn to fly
3.
Way out on a country road
On the city streets
Feel it ready to explode
Try to keep your seat
REPEAT CHORUS

Friends, by Larry West
1.
It's good to have friends
When you want to have fun
Don't have to pretend
In front of anyone
Friends to take you
For a night on the town
Friends to joke with
Maybe fool around
2.
It's good to have Friends
When your feeling down
To make sure you don't end
Up in the lost and found.
Friends to help you
When your down on your luck
Friends to go to
Friends to cheer you up
BRIDGE
Here's something important I want you to know
How much it means to me to be your friend
Whatever happens, through thick and thin
You know I'll be there till the end
3.
A life without Friends
Could get pretty rough
It's hard to comprehend
When there's never enough
Friends to be there
At the end of your rope
Friends who will care
Friends to give you hope

The Hunter, by Larry West
You Run Around and play around
With other people's hearts
Yet you try to stop before it hurts
Lie deceive and make believe
Its only just a game
So hungry for your just deserts.
2.
Living day to day
And door to door
And heart to heart
And speaking in a hollow voice
The only thing for certain
Is that nothing is for sure
In a world like this, there's not much choice.
BRIDGE
It's hard to keep low profile
While riding your high horse
Peace of mind
Gets left behind
In the dust.
3.
Hunting like a creature
Under cover of the night
So silent as you make your play
Be wary
Watch the shadows
Best be ready for a fight
Sometimes The Hunter can become the prey.
He’s My Dog, by Larry West
1.
One time when I first got him
Well he chewed up a pair of shoes
I tried to lock him up in a kennel
Then I had to turn him loose.
He's My Dog
Man I'm really lucky
He's My Dog
Ever since he was a puppy
Always there to greet me when I get in
There's no doubt about who is mans best
friend.
Four muddy paws and a cold wet nose,
He's My Dog.
2.
Sometimes it seems like he's good for
nothing
But to lie around and sleep
People ask me why I even bother
With that old bag of fleas.
He's My Dog
And I'm really lucky
He's My Dog
Ever since he was a puppy
Always there to greet me when I get in
There's no doubt about who is mans best
friend
Two floppy ears and a wagging tail
He's My Dog.
BRIDGE
He may not be a super hero dog
Like Rin Tin Tin or Lassie
But setting next to Scooby Doo
He Looks mighty classy!
He's My Dog.....
3.
When I feeling down and low,
He comes and sits by my side.
I feel much better when I pet him
And look in his soulful eyes
He's My Dog
And I'm mighty lucky
He's My Dog
Ever since he was a puppy
Always there to greet me when I get in
There's no doubt about who's mans best
friend
A long pink tongue,hanging off to one side
He's My Dog!

The Most Dangerous Woman , by Larry West
VERSE 1.
She's just what you've been looking for
Perfect in every way
If you walk through her open
You might not get away
All fixed up in her Diamonds and pearls
She's the Most Dangerous Woman in the world.
VERSE 2.
You Can Handle her now, but soon your gonna lose your grip
You'll be wondering how you ever made such a slip
Little black dress, hair up in curls
She's the most dangerous woman in the world.
BRIDGE
Sweeter than honey
With a bitter aftertaste
You might think it's funny
But there's no smile on your face
Just what the doctor ordered
Yet such a bitter pill
How can you afford
To pay the bill
VERSE 3.
I know you've had it pretty rough but you ain't seen the worst of it yet
When she's done with you you'll know just how cold a heart of gold can get
Just when she seems like she's the right girl
She's the Most Dangerous Woman in the world
