6 PACK 2 GO    (Bo Menart)  

Sittin’ in a bar in the middle of town

Man my situation was bringin’ me down

Sittin’ in a crowd makes me feel alone
I got a six pack and I’m goin’ home

Livin’ in this city don’t agree with me
I got my own ideas about bein’ free
Till that time comes it’s good to know
I got a six pack and got five to go

I got all night and all day 
I’m gonna drink my blues awayI got it all right, lights low
And a pretty girl singing on the radio
Well, this ain’t livin’ but it’s good to know
I got a six pack and got four to go

Sittin’ by a window on the thirteenth floor
I thought about jumpin’ since I closed the door
I changed my mind, what’s come over me

I got a six pack and I still got three

Here I am and I’m havin’ fun

But I can’t remember where I put my gun
I’m so high and I’m feelin’ low
I got a six pack and just two to go

I’ve been here all night and all day

I just about put my fifth away

I’ll drink one more bottle before I go

The window’s still open and I’m drinkin’ slow

Well, I guess nobody’s gonna see me go

I got a six pack and just one to g 

I got a six pack and just one to go

I got a six pack, I ain’t got no more

WHAT CAN I DO    (Bo Menart)

What can I do now that you’ve gone and left me here

What can I do while I’m holding back the tears

I treated you too good they said and you took me for all I had

And now I’m asking you What can I do

What can I say now that you’ve gone and broke my heart

What can I say now that you tore my life apart

They told me you were untrue but I put all my faith in you

And then you went away What can I say

I was your fool and I hope you had your fun

I know you’ve done it before and I’m not the only one

What can I do now that you’ve gone and left me here

What can I do while I’m holding back the tears

I treated you too good they said and you took me for all I had

And now I’m asking you What can I do

And now I’m asking you What can I do 

BORN IN BABYLON    (Bo Menart)

Born in Babylon, going to the promised land

I was born in Babylon, now I’m going to the promised land

With the King, the King of kings

Born into this nation, raised in the state of sin

This is not my homeland and these are not my kin

I was born in Babylon, now going to the promised land

Born in Babylon, noow I'm going to the promised land

With the King, the King of kings

I am not a Roman, I am not a Greek

Neither Jew nor Gentile, the Lord has set me free

I was born in Babylon, now going to the promised land

Born in Babylon, Oh Jesus come and take my hand

And lead me home where I belong

Born in Babylon, going to the promised land

I was born in Babylon, now I’m going to the promised land

With the King, the King of kings

Listen to me brothers, listen to my song

Heed this warning sisters, be ready when the bridegroom comes

We were born in Babylon, now were waiting for the King’s return

I think it’s time we travelled on becauseBabylon’s going to burn

                                    Watch it burn

Born in Babylon, going to the promised land

We were born in Babylon, now were going to the promised land

With the King, the King of kings

DANCING WITH A ROSE   (Bo Menart - Fred Guerra)

Gracefully she waltzed out on the floor

The band plays what she wants to hear once more

Got a feelin’ in her heart nobody knows

As I sit and watch her dancing with a rose

Dancing with a Rose

Through the smoke of the cigarettes

I see her in a silhouette

As she turns her pirouettes, I wonder

Where will she go … when the music ends

I wish I were the rose she holds so closely to her heart

Now I’m headin’ towards the door

As the band begins to play

One more song before they go

And I’ll be dancing with a rose

Dancing with a Rose

Hear the music soft and low

Oo my soul, I’ll be dancing with a rose

She comes and goes

Ah,  Dancing with a Rose

GONNA FLY AWAY   (Bo Menart - Simon Higgs)

Every morning the sun will rise

And the moon will take it’s place

They say the sons of God will never die

Well I’ll know it’s true when I see your face

I never thought it’d be the end of the line

But everybody’s got to go sometime

Now, if you’re hangin’ with the hawk or the dove

You’ll still be singing songs of peace and love

Gonna Fly Away

Spread your wings to the sky

Gonna free your mind and your soul and

Gonna Fly Away

Now this old world keeps on spinning round

And the new bird will sing the same old song

Your band of brothers might keep rollin’ on

But we’ll feel your presence even though you’re gone

Now if you’re putting your hand to the drum

You’ll feel the rhythm where all is one

And when the music’s soaring like it should

Can’t hold your spirit in a box of wood

Gonna Fly Away

Spread your wings to the sky

Gonna free your mind and your soul and

Gonna Fly Away

The time will come to get together with the ones you love

And who love you too

And everybody’s gonna sing a song for you

And I’ll be there too

Gonna Fly Away

Spread my wings to the sky

Gonna free my mind and my soul and

Gonna Fly Away

Fly Fly Fly Away Fly Fly Fly Away

Fly Fly Fly Away Fly Fly Fly Away

Can you feel the spirit   gonna fly away

Can you feel the spirit   gonna fly away

Gonna fly away, sing this song

I wanna hear you blow your horn

Yeah, all right now let’s go

Gonna fly fly fly, Fly away now

Gonna fly away

I’M GOIN’ UP   (Bo Menart)

I’m Goin’ Up,  I’ve been down too long

I’m Goin’ Up,  Got to right this wrong

I'm Goin' Up,  Oo, I’m gonna take control

I'm Goin' Up, Got to free my soul

I'm Goin' Up,  I ain’t gonna stop

I'm Goin' Up,  Right to the top

I’m goin’ up and gonna leave you behind

If you don’t get it together, then you‘re wasting my time

I don’t need anybody, anybody hangin’ around

If you ain’t getting’ me up, you know you’re bringing me down

(And I don’t need anybody bringing me down)

I’m Goin’ Up,  I’m goin’ out of my mind

I'm Goin' Up,  I’m gonna get down and get what’s mine

I'm Goin' Up,  Don’t you know that I think I should

I'm Goin' Up,  I’m getting’ down while the getting is good

I’m goin’ up and gonna leave you behind

If you don’t get it together, then you‘re wasting my time

I don’t need anybody, just a-hangin’ around

If you ain’t getting’ me up, you know you’re bringing me down

(You know where I’m goin’ baby

I’m Goin’ Up
