Am I the Lucky One?

I met this girl in Scotland and I took her off to Spain,
We messed around in Amsterdam and got naked in the rain
Oh, Baby am I the lucky one?
Who's going to be my….my,my,my,my,my only one?
I met this girl in England, she was freaky as could be
She liked to set off fire alarms then take me on her knees
Oh, baby am I the lucky one?
Who's going to be my….my,my,my,my,my only one?
So much fun on the run, So much fun
Will you be more than fun? Can you be…. my,my,my,my,my only on
I met this girl in Temecula, she was a gambler in the first degree
At night she placed her bets on me, in the morning she climbed trees
Oh, baby am I the lucky one?
Who's going to be my….my,my,my,my,my only one?
Who's going to be my….my,my,my,my,my only one?

Thanks for the Laughs

Thanks for the laughs, thanks for the lovin'
I'm lucky I put nothing in your oven
There doesn't seem to be anyone at home
Well, its become so very clear
Your only asset was your rear
And now I know your heart is made of stone
Thanks for the loving, thanks for the laughs
Thanks for nothing, now I'm free at last
Thanks for the loving, thanks for the laughs
Thanks for nothing, now I'm free at last
You picked your perfect time to split
Your girlfriends egged you on to quit
You kicked me when I was already down
Someday you'll know what I was going thru
And wish you had someone to help you
Instead of being treated like a clown
Thanks for the loving, thanks for the laughs
Thanks for nothing, now I'm free at last
You're old enough to know what's real
But your TV tells you how to feel
You think its all so nice like sugar and spice
Another rerun of "Friends"
And you're all warm and fuzzy again
Even though you've seen the damn thing twice
Someday if you ever wake up
Put down your lipstick and your makeup
Take a long hard look in your mirror
Your wrinkles won't be overlooked
Your life won't be no rosy book
And you're all alone and the end is nearer
Thanks for the loving, thanks for the laughs
Thanks for nothing, now I'm free at last
Thanks for the loving, thanks for the laughs
Thanks for nothing, now I'm free at last

Laundromat Baby

Well, looking this way and that I spot you in the laundromat
I don't care if your clothes are dirty I just got to meet you girly
What's your name, where you from, who ya going to?
Well, he can't love you as much baby as I'd love you
I'd like to tell you now I'll be your partner in crime
No, I don't got a quarter for your dryer, all I got's a dime
I look around, what do I see?
Twenty other jerks dressed exactly like me
Well, I keep trying, I keep trying for you
Be my laundromat baby and wash away my blues
Who's that cat winking at you, waving from afar?
He's drooling on his three piece suit and driving a Jaguar
Oh, my God, you're waving back to a U.S. diplomat
He's older than your daddy and he's heading toward the back
I'd like to tell now I'll be your lifeguard tonight
No, I don't think you should mix your blue jeans with your whites
I look around, what do I find?
Twenty other jerks watching your behind
Well, I keep trying, I keep trying for you
Be my laundromat baby and wash away my blues
Where ya' goin' your T-shirt's showin' you ain't wearing a bra
You're looking like the Queen of Sheba on Hee Haw
Playing with your Cracker Jack, girls like you were made for that
You like the caramel off the peanuts then you spit 'em back
I'd like to tell you now I'll be your toy surprise
No, I don't want your leftover box of fresh scent tide
I look around, what do I know?
You're making me so nervous, feel like I'm talking sloooow
Well, I keep trying, I keep trying for you
Be my laundromat baby and wash away my blues
Be my laundromat baby and wash away my blues
Be my laundromat baby and wash away my blues

My Beautiful Ballerina

My beautiful ballerina, your skin is opaque
I want to reach up and touch you during swan lake
It doesn't take that much for you to, fire my imagination
And once you're in, you're my creation now.
My beautiful ballerina, I bet you have freckles
I want to get so much closer, do ya' think I'm a heckler?
I would like to get to know you, and see if you're for real
Cause you got my heart jumpin' cartwheels
My beautiful ballerina…oh, oh…
My beautiful balllerina, been so long since I've seen ya...oh, oh…
My beautiful ballerina, I can't control the way I feel
My vision of you now darling seems so very,very real
My beautiful ballerina, you're such a dream
Just when I'm about to hold you, I wake up and scream
I didn't get to taste your perfection, and when you lept into the air
You disappeared and left me standing there
My beautiful ballerina…oh, oh…
My beautiful balllerina, been so long since I've seen ya...oh, oh…

Patch of Earth
03:48
|

|
Slowly now the coals of dawn are burning
Show me how to put them out to spark another day
Who can say the day you'll be returning
Who can know how time may go and sweep a life away…
But darling I would wait for you forever
And if my fate comes due before your home again to stay try
and find a patch of earth…
A patch of earth where I'm sleeping,
A patch of earth where I'm keeping
All my love in a promise of rebirth
Plant a seed, see it flower
Plant a tree, see it tower
Come and find…a patch of earth
Darling you don't know the northern winters
Not a sign will show if I've been swallowed by this ground
A cross of wood is soon a pile of splinters
A slab of stone soon overgrown or ransomed off in town
So here's the thing my dear you must remember
If you should learn upon return I'm nowhere to be found, try
and find a patch of earth…
A patch of earth left untended,
A patch of earth where life ended
So forlorn but with a promise of rebirth
Plant a seed, see it flower
Plant a tree, see it tower
Come and find…a patch of earth

I'm tired of drinking, tired of thinking of what might have been
And I can't fight something I can't see and expect to win
But I don't wanna carry this burden till I grow old
But like a ghost you still haunt my very soul
Help me to forgive and forget
Help me to see a rainbow yet
Help me to drown my foolish pride
Help me to forgive and forget, one more time
I'm tired of mopin', tired of hopin' for your return
But I can't hold down what I feel and not get burned
I can feel you right here yet I'm all alone
I wonder if you now have a happy home?
Help me to forgive and forget
Help me to see a rainbow yet
Help me to drown my foolish pride
Help me to forgive and forget, one more time

John Mueller Los Angeles, California
John Mueller's compositions have a wry sense of humor with roots of Holly, Willie, Woody, Dylan, Roger Miller and Chuck
Berry all shaken in a martini glass. Great music in the Americana roots tradition.
Two of his songs were featured in the horror flick, "Bloodline" and his best selling, "Hey Buddy" was featured in a BBC documentary called, "The day the music died."
