LLB songtitle graphics

[Belle]

I got some new software for Christmas and, in order to learn it, I've been making up graphics for some of LLB's song titles. Here's what I've made so far. (I'm having a lot of fun doing this!)

Belle, I'm really enjoying these and the others you have at the Bistro. Keep 'em coming.

Debra

Here's the one she made for me---I really like it.

Love the graphics, Belle :)

[Belle]

Rita and Debra - thank you very much! :)

Here are a few more.

[Malieleni]

Very creative-they are all beautiful :)

[cre8ivepoet]

Belle you're a rip.

[Belle]

If anyone can use these for swag items, please feel free. (Oh, and on "My Loneliness", those are raindrops filled with fire.) :D

i like My Way

[Tasina]

what fun! :)

[lovemusic]

Belle, you are having way to much fun! ;) I love My Way. The concept for My Loneliness is great. Too bad the fire can't be more visible inside the raindrop.

Next thing you know, Belle, you will be getting requests from all of us. How about Crazy Dream?

[Belle]

Crazy Dream? oooOOOooo. Now you've done it. My brain is going into hyperdrive. Let's see if I can come up with something good enough for that song.

:D

[Sombra]

These are really awesome! Good work and terrific imagination. Keep 'em comin'!

:cool:

[Belle]

Thank you, Sombra.

Okay, Bela, this is take #3 on Crazy Dream. I hope it conveys the feeling of the song.



http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/crazy.jpg




I tried to find myself
for a very long time.
Somewhere I lost myself.
It’s so hard to find my way back home.
My body's roaming all day long.
Feels like a real bad dream.
I try so hard to break free,
and even though I try,
something else has got a hold on me.
Will I ever be in control of me?
When will I wake up,
escape from this crazy dream?
Maybe tomorrow
I'll find a better dream for me.

The shiver in my soul,
whoa, I think I'm gonna go,
but in the depth of my mind
there's a place that only I have seen.
Will it ever be reality?
So when will I wake up,
escape from this crazy dream?
Maybe tomorrow
I'll find a better dream for me.

And no matter how hard I try,
well I just can't seem to open up my eyes.
So when will I wake up,
escape from this crazy dream?
Maybe tomorrow
I'll find a better dream for me.

[lovemusic]

Pretty good. You captured the duality of the nightmare. Thanks

[Belle]

Bela - I'm so glad you got that. One part of the man is facing the dark that he wants to quit controlling him. The other part is facing the light - where he hopes to get to someday.

[Belle]

Here are two more.

I think I like this "Heaven" graphic better. What do you think?

http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/heaven1.jpg





.

[llbheaven]

Belle--these are great! I'm having fun looking at all of them. And you should be able to make some really creative swag--stickers, bookmarks, flyers, calendars....

[Belle]

Those are great ideas. I especially like the bookmarks. I thought of maybe printing the graphics on something like a playing card on one side and the song lyrics on the other. I'm just not sure how much that would cost.

If anyone wants to use these for swag themselves, you're welcome to.

[Brenda]

Very creative Belle! It's always cool to see what others get out of the same songs & lyrics.

[cre8ivepoet]

You're right Belle...I like suppertime! You are out of control. I like 'Iselia' too. I love that song. It's very beautiful.

Cree

[Belle]

You are soooo right, Cree. Out of control...

Here's more proof.

I love what you did with Tell Me Why. That is such a beautiful song. I wish the Boys would play it in concert. Seeing all these song titles is making me really miss them. How long before May gets here?

YOU are unbelievable!

B. May I save-down a copy of these and put them on my fansite?

Hi, Mark. Of course you can put them on your fansite. I'd be honored AND tickled. I have a few more to post. What is your favorite? If I haven't made it yet, I will. :D If it's Texican Style, you missed it (on page 2, I believe). However, I want to change the font on that one just as soon as I get it downloaded onto my laptop.

[Belle]

I've posted one for Cottonfields and Crossroads, but this one depicts the mood better. Those 'things' are the notes bending and blistering off of Henry's Strat.

I have one left: "Baby, you're gonna see". But, I'm stuck on that one. Maybe tonight I'll get it figured out. I can't WAIT to get a hold of the new songs.

.

[senoRita]

Those are all very cool :cool: Belle. Way to go! :)

[Belle]

Mark, I made you a little sum'n. :D


http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/austin.jpg



.

[AustinStratFan]

Well, you got my favorite in the very next pass.

First time I've ever seen two headed fireflies, but all in all, a pretty good bar for the song. :-)

And here's a taste of how I would use the title bars:

http://www.llbfanclub.com/NobodyElse1.htm

Just kinda goofin' at the moment, trying to get a good clean style going for the third album.

:-)

PS: Agree. The Texican Style log typeface is a tad much.

And while composing, you sneak, I came back to see *my* bar. Thank you, you are too wONDAful for words!

[Belle]

Hey, Mark. Two-headed fireflies? :eek: Those are (supposed to be) the wings. teehee.

I like how you're using the graphics. A complimentary border around the lyrics would really set the page off, but that's just the artiste in me comin' out to play. :p

http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/nobody1.jpg



Let me know if I can help. I love this kind of work. Or, if you want a graphic 'tweaked', holler. I'll be glad to.

[Belle]

I finally figured out "Baby, you're gonna see."

http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/gonnasee.jpg

Then, I went to Mark's website and found more titles I didn't have. This is one of those.

http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/angel.jpg


.

[AustinStratFan]

Boundaries come next...don't rush. :-)

And the boundaries pick up the main color of the graphic.

Think the Sacred pages, although in retrospect, there's too much information there for the average person.

An example:

http://www.llbfanclub.com/nevermetawoman-sacred.htm

See? We are absolutely on the same brainwave!

PS: Really nice work on My Little Angel.

May I recommend that you either set Cielo like Heaven or use your two favorites of Heaven, one for each? Personally, at least for the fansite, I'd prefer that the bars were the same graphic with the title different...but you (like LosWhoIsTheArtistHereGirl, Amy Stapler) get to work out the artistic details!

[Belle]

Mark - here is "Heaven/Cielo". I have to say, those stained-glass letters are very labor intensive - especially the round ones. (Anyone got any aspirin for eye strain?)



http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/cielo.jpg


Here are a few more from Mark's website. I haven't heard these, but got the idea for the graphics from the lyrics. "Crazy Baby" is about running around in circles because of a woman. hehehe

[Belle]

Mark, here is Texican Style with a different (better) font.


http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/texican1.jpg




Also, gang, here are two more from Mark's website. "Magic Number" is about a young guy trying to get a girl's digits. :D

[Tasina]

maybe for
baby you're gonna see, you can also do one of Nobody's fool since that's the title of that song.

It's a very cool program. . . maybe making some of our sayings.

Get Lonely

Texican Rock n Roll

Ace of Bass

The Hurricane

I'm loving your art. . thanks for sharing it with us

[Belle]

Tasina - what GREAT ideas!!!

Man, my head is spinning with ideas. Stay tuned. :D

[Belle]

On this first one, I can't remember if it's "Los Lonely Boys SAYS so" or "SAID so". Can somebody help me?

I'm still working on the last two... "Nobody Else" and Ace of Bass.


Oh, if anyone is using these online, please host them with your own photos. I'm not sure how long I can keep ALL of these going. :o

Here are the last two. If you guys have any suggestions or ideas, please let me know.

Hey Belle just an FYI - I don't know how difficult this is but JoJo plays a 6 string bass. Just sayin' :cool:

[Belle]

Hi, Janette. Ya know, I thought he played at least one six string bass! I'll fix. :D

[Belle]

Alright, gang. After scouring the Jojo photo thread and checking out several Hohner bass websites, I think I've finally gotten closer to the 'real deal', without having the bass in the room (with its owner, of course :D ).

Here's the corrected version.


http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/ace.jpg



.

[loopie girl]

Belle, you are amazing. The graphics are awesome. That is a great program. Thanks for sharing with us. I especially like Tell Me Why. I believe lovemusic said they wish they would play that song in there concerts. I totally agree. That is my favorite song along with I Never Met a Woman. Henrys intro at Steamboat Springs was just that, STEAMY. I've never heard that played on any recording . It was awesome. It would just make you swoon and the comment that he made afterwards, well let's just say it was something else. ;)

[lovemusic]

Alright, gang. After scouring the Jojo photo thread and checking out several Hofner bass websites, I think I've finally gotten closer to the 'real deal', without having the bass in the room (with its owner, of course :D ).

Here's the corrected version.


http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/ace.jpg



.

Excellent job!! You should have asked me for a picture. I have plenty. This looks very authentic.

Loopie Girl, I just wanted to clarify that I wish the Boys would play the song "Tell Me Why"; not that "they" wished to play it. They nver seem to play it and it is a great song. They have so many good ones! Word has it that we will be putting out a new CD this summer. Let's hope!

[Belle]

Excellent job!! You should have asked me for a picture. I have plenty.

NOW you tell me! :p Actually, there are a lot of pictures of Jojo's bass. The problem was that most of them didn't have clear shots of the bass head. The stage lights bounced off the brass keys and blurred the image. I found some photos taken at outdoor daylight concerts, and they proved to be the clearest. However, I couldn't make out what was on the tip of the head. It turned out to be a stylized H for Hohner. (I got that from a website.)

Thanks to you and Velvet Sky, it looks 'more better'. :D

[Belle]

Here's a new one. I'll probably tweak it 1000 times before I finally leave it alone, but here's the first take. (It is really detailed!)

http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/ringo.jpg



.

[velvetsky0222]

It turned out to be a stylized H for Hofner. (I got that from a website.)

Thanks to you and Velvet Sky, it looks 'more better'. :D

Belle, JoJo's bass guitars are Hohner's. If you look at the Hofner bass guitar the body is very different - it's what Paul McCartney plays. Your graphic does represent JoJo's bass however. Thanks.

[Belle]

Well, gang, for those who have been following this thread (and my learning curve), here is a graphic I've been working on all night. (It's got nothing to do with LLB, just something I'm trying.) All I have to say is Grrrrr. I've tried a hundred different ways to get the supernova clouds to LOOK llike real clouds, and so far, nada.

There is a section in the software manual that discusses setting inks. About halfway into the first paragraph, my eyes glaze over. It gets REAL technical. So, this might be as good as it gets. :p

[lovemusic]

Belle, you have added some great graphics since I last visited. I LOVE the one of Ringo. Great likeness! You are very creative.

[Belle]

I wish I knew the song titles off the new CD that's coming. Until then, I've been playing around with color and shading, making things look 3D just by color.

Here are a few spiral-graphs I practiced on.

Thank you so much Belle. I appreciate your excellence here. I asked Belle to put the ground graphic of Bear Butte which is a sacred place for my people, and it looks fantastic. I reminds me of a pregnant woman lying on her back :)

[Belle]

Tasina, thank YOU for the compliment. I hope you got your resolution issues squared away.

[Belle]

In celebration of LLB's new CD, "Forgiven", to be released 7-1-08, I couldn't help myself and 'saw' this when I learned of the title.

If I told you I love you, would you walk away?
I’m not tryin’ to fool you; there’s no playing games.
You’re tired of being alone. You know, I feel the same.
Oh, maybe falling in love will take away your pain

(chorus)
So I have to say (I have to say)
That I really love you (I really love you)
Don’t be afraid (don’t be afraid)
I just wanna know (just wanna know)
You’re staying with me

Oh I can take you away to places out of this world.
All I need is the time of day to make your dreams for real.
Take a chance on love. I’m gonna do the same.
Oh, we’re two hearts of a kind. We’re gonna have it made.

(chorus 2x)

(guitar solo)

Oh, don’t go running away like you have before.
Oh, all your wildest dreams are just beyond the door.

(chorus 2x)

Are you staying with me?

Stay with me baby. Stay with me babe
Oh, stay with me baby
Stay with me baby, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah

Super Moderator Belle! Do you wear a cape super hero?? :D I've been enjoying seeing all the graphics you've been making. Finally getting around to reading all these posts. :)

[Belle]

Ha ha, Arlene. You're funny. I don't have a cape right now. It's at the cleaners.

teehee

Glad you like the graphics. They're fun to make. :D

[LOVE THE BOYS]

Belle, your graphics are stunning! You are very talented. I look at one and think this is my favorite then I see another and think, oh no, that's my favorite, but, I like them all, not a bad one in the bunch!
Great Work!
Bobbie
sI've just joined the forum but have been cking it out for a while.

[Belle]

Bobbie - thank you so much. I can't wait to hear the new CD and get some more graphics up.

Stay tuned... :D

[NaNeeBee]

Hey! Those are really awesome, Belle!! Thanks for sharing them. I wouldn't mind using a couple to decorate my myspace. :)

The "Forgiven" one you made really made me awestruck! :cool: And I'm not exaggerating!! :D

[Belle]

NaNeeBee - thank you. I've said this somewhere else on this thread (but it's gotten kinda long) - if anyone wants to use these for swag or other ways to promote LLB, feel free.

I've put my copyright notice on them, not to keep folks from using them, but to keep somebody we don't know from trying to sell them.

I'd be tickled if you used them. :D

http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/heartwont.jpg



I don't get around much like I used to.
I don't cry, not unless I want to.
Might be somethin' in the air.
Might be that I just don't care.
Might be cuz I lost my baby,
or it might be my mind, yeah.

Well, you might think that I'm talkin' crazy.
Might even believe its true,
cuz right now my life's a little hazy.
Can't even put on my shoes.
Might be cuz the worlds gone crazy, darlin',
or it might be my mind.

Search your soul and you will find
that your heart won't tell a lie.

~break~

I can't lie even if I want to.
My momma didn't raise no fool.
Hey, I seen what you go believin',
and I know about the Golden Rule.
Might be cuz I'm a dreamer, baby,
or it might be my mind

Search your soul and you will find
that your heart won't tell a lie.

Search your soul and you will find
that your heart won't tell a lie.

I'd made this graphic a few months ago, but here it is with the lyrics.

http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/4given.jpg


Forgiven
Take it away. Take it away.
Take away these feelings cuz they’re bringing me down.
Cuz I can’t breathe. Feels like I can’t breathe.
Feels just like this whole world’s coming down on me.

Oh, can I be forgiven for all I have done?

Can you set me free? Can you set me free?
Set me free from all this pain life’s done to me.

If you can hear me praying, then I’ll ask one more time.

Can you take it away, Lord? Oh, can I be forgiven?
Can you take it away, Lord? Help me change my ways of living.

~Break~

Oh, can I be forgiven for all I have done?
Is there time for me? Is there still time for me?
Time to change whatever I’ve got left of me.

If you can hear me praying, then I’ll ask one more time.

Can you take it away, Lord? Oh, can I be forgiven?
Can you take it away, Lord? Help me change my ways of living.

Échale.

This time around, hey, I’m gone.
Hey, I’m gone.

Oh, your lying eyes were telling me
the way you feel is all a disguise.
Yeah yeah

I can’t believe I’ve been a fool
for loving you way too **** long.

Why has it taken so long
to see what’s been happening to me?
This time around, hey, I’m gone.
Hey, I’m gone.

You better get ready for a stormy day,
‘cuz everything you love’s about to wash away.
I’m not gonna stand around and let you be
so cruel to me. No.

I think it’s time we both sat down to talk. No, don't walk away.
Let me say just how I feel for you. You just might want to stay.

I want to be with you...Only you...Always.
I'll make your dreams come true...Loving you...Always.

Every day I want to share with you just what’s inside of me.
Ain't no love out there for me but you, so please hear me say...

I want to be with you...Only you...Always.
I'll make your dreams come true...Loving you...Always.

~break~

Don’t you see I just can't let you go? So, don't blow us away.
What the future holds, we'll never know, but this much I can say...

Hey, I want to be with you...Only you...Always.
I'll make your dreams come true...Loving you...Always.
I'll make your dreams come true...Loving you...Always.

All of the things we do, sometimes they don’t seem right.
But, don’t let it get you down cuz it’s gonna be alright.
Time can get beat you down and bring you so much pain,
getting the best of us and taking away those sunny days. Yeah.

You can’t see the light when you’re down.
You can’t see the light when you’re down.

Remember the ones you love and keep ‘em close to you
when those times get tough, and they’ll be there for you.

The world can break your pride (?) and leave you feeling blue.
But, don’t let it waste your time. We’re gonna make it through, yeah.
We’re gonna make it through. It’s up to me and you.

You can’t see the light when you’re down.
You need to pick yourself up off the ground.
There’s a way to turn your life around.
But, you can’t see the light when you’re down.

~break~

Across the still waters to the Sea of Pain,
it’ll all come together at the end of the day.

Everywhere you turn, it seems as though you get burned.
And even when you try, it still so hard to get by.

Don’t ever lose your faith. It gets you through the day.

You can’t see the light when you’re down.
You need to pick yourself up off the ground.
There’s a way to turn your life around.
But you can’t see the light when you’re down.

You can’t see the light when you’re down.
You can’t see the light when you’re down.
You need to change your life all around.
But, you can’t see the light when you’re down.

Yeah, yeah, Guero’s in the barrio.

you're gonna make it better.

Release yourself. Take a breath. Listen to what's inside you.
You've found a way to turn another day, like a page in history.

You're gonna make it better.

Well, these days it's kinda hard to love someone.
Ain't too funny, honey, when it’s just begun,
to trust somebody and you give it all away.

There goes another broken heart.
Here comes another rainy day.
Yeah...rainy day.

Oh, I’ve seen it way too many times before.
A love gone bad can make you wanna hit the floor,
cryin' and beggin', but no matter what you say…
There goes another broken heart.
Here comes another rainy day.

Give it some time. It’s alright. It'll go away.
Cuz in due time, you'll find there's another day.
I said, another day!

~break~

I'm not tryin' to tell you people what to do.
I'm singin' you a story 'bout the things that I been through.
I know the feeling when love walks away.
There goes another broken heart.
Here comes another rainy day.

Give it some time. It’s alright. It'll go away.
Cuz in due time, you'll find there's another day.
I said, another day.

Broken hearts, they mend. Rainy days, they end.
Well just keep tryin'. Don't give up.
Here comes a sunny day, a brighter and better way.
Live and love.

Oh, here comes a sunny day,
a brighter and better way
to live and love, and live and love, and live and love, and live and love.

Oh yeah

There goes another broken heart.
Here comes another rainy day.

I was living on my own. Didn’t know my right from wrong.
Then you came my way. Yeah.

When I looked into your eyes, I saw paradise
and I fell in love. Love.

Together, we were having fun. In each other’s arms, we felt like one.
It was just like a dream.

Never really crossed my mind there would ever come a time
that you’d walk away. Yeah.

How’d we go wrong?
Tell me, why am I alone?
I never really cared about love.
Now, love, it don’t care about me.
Love don’t care about me, no.

~break~

Now I’m sitting all alone. Guess you won’t be coming home.
Oh, it breaks my heart.

I don’t wanna say goodbye. The thought, it only makes me cry.
But what else can I do? Oh.

How’d we go wrong?
Tell me, why am I alone?
I never really cared about love.
No, I never cared about love.

I know that it’s over,
but I can’t bring myself to face goodbye. Oh.
I never cared about your love.
Now love, it don’t care about me. Oh, no.
I never really cared about love.
Now, love, it don’t care about me.
Love, it don’t care about me.

Is it alright if I sing you guys a song?
I'm gonna do my best right here.

Why she wants me, I ask myself.
I know I'm not the best lookin' guy around.

Oh, does she love me? Well I guess so,
cuz she always says I'm her hero!

She makes me stronger with all she does.
Oh, I can't live without her love. No.
I stop me a freight train. I fly high like a jet plane
just so I can get to her.

She's my lady. I'm thinkin' maybe
I'm gonna do what I can
to show that I love her. I really need her.
I wanna be her Superman!

Nothin's gonna get me down.

Say what you want. Do what you will.

How can you see if there's good in me
if you never even try?
Give me some time; I might change your mind.
But if I don't, well, that's alright.

Say what you want. Do what you will.

Well, my pad is very messy, and there's whiskers on my chin,
and I'm all hung up on music and I always play to win.
I ain't got no time for lovin' cuz my time is all used up
just sittin’ around creatin' all that groovy kind of stuff.

I'm a man. Yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so. No no no
I'm a man. Yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so.

Well, if I had my choice of matter, I would rather be with cats
all engrossed in mental chatter, moving where our minds are at,
and relating to each other just how strong our wills can be.
I'm resisting all involvement with every groovy chick I see.

Well, I'm a man. Yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so. No no no
I'm a man. Yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so. No no no

Well, I got to keep my image while suspended from a throne
that looks upon a kingdom full of people all unknown;
who imagine I'm not human and my heart is made of stone.
I ain’t never had no problems and my toilet's trimmed with chrome.

I'm a man. Yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so. No no no
I'm a man. Yes, I am, and I can't help but love you so. No no no

People, can you feel it? There’s a war tonight.
But, if you take a minute, you can hear the fight.
You can almost see it when you close your eyes.
It’s a shame we die in vain just so we can live a lie.

Oh, it always seems so easy to argue, fuss and fight.
I don’t believe in what I’m seeing. It just ain’t right.

Seems to me like everything is getting out of hand;
taking lives and spilling blood just to walk the land.
Take a look around you. I know you can see
everything is changing except for you and me.

Oh, it always seems so easy to argue, fuss and fight.
I don’t believe in what I’m seeing. It just ain’t right.

No, you don’t need to stop believing. Oh, you got to live your life.
Hey, you know we need to come together. We can make it right.

Dang Belle...you got it going on girl! :D
Thank you and love the graphics!

[lovemusic]

I had not been on this thread since February. Wow, Belle, you have done a tremedous job. Thank you very much. It was fun reading through all the lyrics.

[Belle]

Here is the one-of-a-kind song written specifically for the Saxon Pub show in Austin. This is what Henry said about it.

"That’s for y’all. We wrote it in the car right before we got here."

It's blues with harmonica, bass and drums and the occasional vocal thrown in.


http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/saxon.jpg


I say I’m down at the Saxon, baby.
Everybody having a good time.
2x

Everybody getting’ together now
and in a good state of mind.

Right now, let me tell you a little story
‘bout three brothers that I know.
Let me you about three brothers now
I’m gonna tell you something that you don’t know.
You think you know it all
But let me tell ya, you don’t know sh*t

Right now, these three brothers, Lord,
they got blessed from up above.
I said, these three brothers, Lord,
they’ve been blessed from the Lord above.
If you don’t believe me, child,
just go on out and get you some.

Well, La Onda es familia.
They’re from the heart
La Onda, familia,
I tell ya, they’re straight from the heart.

You know that we love each other, baby
We might never get enough, no.
But these three brothers up here, y’all
want to thank ya’ll from the bottom of our hearts, yeah.



That ain’t no joke, y’all.

Can i get a graphic too? i didn't see one for the song outlaws from sacred. and it would be cool if you add the lyrics too, even though i know 'em all, but it would be cool to snake 'em both :D

[llblady1972]

WOW Belle they are great They are so cool.. almost like License Plates if you ask me. They would make really cool Stickers.. Hey if your taking request I would love to see "texican style" and "Heart Won't tell a Lie"

Great Job Girlie!!! :)

[Belle]

The "Outlaws" graphic is several pages back, so I'll post it again here. (The lyrics are somewhere on this thread.)

http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/outlaw.jpg

I've got "Texican Style" and "Heart Won't Tell a Lie", but I'm not happy with either of them. Let me work on them a bit and I'll post what I've got.

Thanks for the compliments! I love making the graphics and have turned several of them into an LLB 2009 Calendar. I sent them to the Boys for gifts this year. (It has several Street Team birthdays, as well as the Boys'.)

You can look at and/or purchase it at http://www.lulu.com/content/4164497. It's big, 13.5 x 19", on linen paper and in full color. When I got mine, I was really impressed with the overall quality.

Sorry - the "Outlaws" lyrics aren't here. It's on the Sacred CD, and I was thinking the "Forgiven" one for some reason. (Sorry). :rolleyes:

Outlaws

(Henry)
I'm remembering ol' Waylon and good ol' Johnny Cash
Man they're an inspiration to what I am
But don't get me wrong, I'm still Texican to the bone
Lord I'm passin on the song just
like my Daddy to his sons, aw
that's right
This one's for the outlaws before me

(JoJo)
You know Indians and outlaws don't mind breaking rules
We'll gladly take your money now
if you play us for a fool
You can't make us run and you know you
can't make us hide, oh no
You know we have our fun and we
don't quit without a fight
So this one's for the outlaws before me

(chorus)
Well outlaws are forever running wild and free
Kickin in all the doors they didn't even need no key
They don't let nobody tell 'em how it's 'posed to be
This one's for them outlaws
This one's for the outlaws before me
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/5ccN ]

(Enrique)
Well I've seen that Folsom prison
been down that lost highway
You ain't never heard of me
'cause I do things my way
I sing my song and my boys they
follow me they follow me
We carry on through it all we still
believe, we still believe
This one's for the missing outlaws just like me
Oh yeah, let's do it Willie

(Willie Nelson)
I've always made a living
making music with my friends
out on the road again
Lord knows where I've been
Sometimes the man doesn't like the way I am
so I'll put it in a song
Just take you some and pass it on
This one's for the outlaws just like me

(chorus)
Well outlaws are forever running wild and free
Kickin in all the doors and don't even
need no keys, that's right
They don't let nobody tell us how it's 'posed to be
This one's for the outlaws
This one's for the outlaws
This one's for the outlaws
This one's for the outlaws before me

We looked and looked for a "sombrero"(the kind w/ the little dangling balls on it)... but all we could come up with is a "pimpin' style" hat!! LOL
Anyhow-- it was really nice. It was my xmas gift from him too!
I sent copies to the Boys (&Russ!).....don't kniow what tHEY thought of it!! LOL
Oh, and my son got an "A" on it!! His teacher said "That song just kind of gets stuck in your head, doesn't it?"..... heheh, yeah, you could say that!!! :cool:
