LYRICS: Well, I’m two days out of Tulsa – four days out of jail And I’m high and dry in Memphis, Tennessee And if I ever find her – if I live to tell the tale I’ll tell the world, how lovin’ her has made a fool of me Well, I met her at the local rodeo All fixed up with nowhere else to go She flashed those big blue eyes – right there I realized The lady’s roped and tied me – much to my surprise Now, I’m lost but I’m makin’ record time you know true love is just too hard to find If I don’t find her soon I just may lose my mind Yes, I’m lost but I’m makin’ record time Candle-light romancin’ – dancin’ until dawn The mornin’ broke – I woke up all alone She never said good-bye – never gave one reason why She loved me then she left me – now I’m out here on my own I’m lost but I’m makin’ record time You know true love is just too hard to find If I don’t find her soon I just may lose my mind Yes, I’m lost but I’m makin’ record time I used to be a player – just played hard to get But “used to be’s” don’t matter anymore This lady’s got my number – though she hasn’t called me yet She’s runnin’ from my lovin’ but I need her more and more Chased her all across the USA Through every two-bit bar along the way But up around the bend – gonna catch her once again And give her all my lovin’ boys – but until then – I’m lost but I’m makin’ record time You know true love is just too hard to find If I don’t find her soon I just may lose my mind When I do we’ll be makin’ out just fine She’s just playin’ hard to get – no I haven’t found her, yet But when I do – I’m gonna make her mine!

LYRICS: She rocks. She shocks. My Baby’s turnin’ heads when she walks Got ‘em all breakin’ a sweat – but they ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Cause she’s smooth. When she moves. Steppin’ in her high heel shoes Baby’s just as sly as a fox – she’s sure makin’ waves when she walks Oooh – my Baby rocks! She’s fine. She’s all mine. My Baby’s got me towin’ the line She’s always knowin’ what’s on their mind Even when they’re walkin’ behind She’s a true beauty. Country fresh cutie. When they see her comin’ – everyone stops She’s sure makin’ waves when she walks Wow – my Baby rocks! Heads are sure turnin’ – Baby’s got ‘em burnin’ The movin’ that she’s doin’ is hot Whole town’s talkin’ – whole world’s watchin’ Everybody knows what she’s got – that’s a lot! She glows. And it shows. She’s gettin’ looks wherever she goes Rockin’ from her head to her toes Baby’s got it all and everyone knows The whole country rolls when she rocks She’s sure makin’ waves when she walks Wow – my Baby rocks! Heads are really turnin’ – Baby’s got ‘em burnin’ The word is spreadin’ all over town County’s all watchin – everybody’s talkin’ I got the hottest baby around It’s news. When she moves. Baby’s getting’ rave reviews Offers comin’ day and night Those moves are out of sight! The lady’s headin’ straight to the top She’s sure makin’ waves when she walks Wow – my Baby rocks!

LYRICS: Sail away lady – sail into the night Sail your wide oceans alone Follow the dreams of your youth on your flight Sail away lady, sail home – sail home On to your white winter home She glides like a princess who’s sure of her place Her eyes are as clear as the sky She’s a lily white lady of style and grace Born with a spirit to fly But lately her heart feels heavy as rain She dimly remembers a dream She longs for the snow-covered mountains again Far from the ocean she’s seen Sail away lady – sail into the night Sail your wide ocean alone Follow the dreams of your youth on your flight Sail away lady, sail home – sail home On to your white winter home She searches her soul for a memory She stretches her wings to the wind She rises like mist on the north sea Her journey is set to begin And into the night she goes sailin’ To soar through a clear cloudless sky The mountains are silently callin’ And only the lady knows why – knows why Only the lady knows why Sail away lady – sail into the night Sail your wide oceans alone Follow the dreams of your youth on your flight Sail away lady, sail home – sail home On to your white winter home A bright silver blanket is stretchin’ below With stars for as far as she sees She feels like the salmon that’s fightin’ the flow Of the river’s swift run to the sea On, she sails on through the night air The moon makes a map for her eyes A Milky Way compass can carry her there As on to the mountain she flies – she flies On through the cold northern skies Sail away lady – sail into the night Sail your wide oceans alone Follow the dreams of your youth on your flight Sail away lady, sail home – sail home On to your white winter home

LYRICS: Well, they don’t let me sing here In The Front Porch Country Band They let me play on everything And pose for pictures, man I get the call, “Bring your guitar…” They show me where to stand But they won’t let me sing here In The Front Porch Country Band I get to write and pick and grin Whenever we record I get to sweat and worry Over every little chord Well, I get to stand before our fans And be the “Guitar Man” But they won’t let me sing here In The Front Porch Country Band Well, John and Kimbo fight it out To see who sings the lead Unless the singer’s female Then it’s Alison - "Indeed!" And sometimes, every now and then Even Joey takes the stand But they won’t let me sing here In The Front Porch Country Band Richard slides the faders And he turns them little knobs And then they let us smile for the press And we get to act like country snobs They even make us hawk these “Country Rocks” And I get to “aim” that country van But they won’t let us sing here – In The Front Porch Country Band You know, Kimbo gets the fan mail And Johnny, he gets all the girls And Alison, she’s always getting’ “dolled up” To sing before this whole world And all they ever let me do is play this guitar Where they tell me to stand But they won’t let me sing here In The Front Porch Country Band But sometimes on the weekends – we ain’t got no show We get to sit and pick and sing – relaxin’ don’t you know And then when no one’s lookin’ – and them singers ain’t around We get to take a deep breath – and make an awesome sound “You start…" “Okay, now I’m gonna start…and then you follow…you’ll understand…” “Row, Row, Row Your Boat…” “There’s just us two here…!” “Oh, that’ll sell records!...” And they just won’t let us sing here In The Front Porch Country Band “I really don’t think we sing that bad, do you, Richard…?” “I…I really don’t, No...!” “Just ‘cause they look better’n us don’t mean they sing better’n us…” “They look better’n you…” “Matter of fact, Joey don’t even look better’n us, if you ask me…” “No…” “But Johnny, he’s cute…(laugh)…but I think Alison a lot cuter’n that…” “I’ll go along with that…yep…yep…no problem…” “Then there’s Kimbo…” “Kimbo’s cute…” “Kimbo…!

about

HERE WE GO AGAIN. Back from The World China Tour, following their meteoric rise to worldwide prominence on the world's largest internet music subscriber system — with more than one million song plays and a dozen Worldwide Number One Hits on internet charts from their first two albums — THE FRONT PORCH COUNTRY BAND is back and at it again. Here’s their creative explosion of 14 hot new recordings featuring their own brand of Original American Country. You’re on a musical odyssey stretching across North America, "...like the thunder of a runaway freight train barrelin' down Main Street at midnight...combined with the freshness of a front porch swing swayin' gently in the cool country breeze after a soft summer rain."

Every track commands close attention. "It’s been a labor of love," says the band, "about places we've been, or still want to get to.” All performed with their trademark energy and emotion, showcasing their soaring 6-part harmonies and the dazzling play of one of America's greatest guitar bands. You’ve hitched a ride from the northern Canadian border to the southern Mississippi delta, from the sun-drenched western Pacific to the eastern blue Atlantic, with brief stops in Alaska, Hawaii, Europe, & Asia.

"This band is different, and they're proud of it," say industry writers. “They're a Pennsylvania country band that travels the world from their home north of the Mason-Dixon line. They hear, write, and perform country music differently. They call it North Country.” This band has successfully flown below Nashville's radar to take their stories around the globe as America's ambassadors of Original American Country. As musicians, these players are so versatile they can write and perform in any classic style. From Country Rock to Acoustic Folk. From Carribean Island to Mountain Bluegrass. From Doo-Wop to Rock & Roll. You name it, they create and play it. There’s a word for their brand of music — Timeless.

Have songs. Will travel. Here we go again.
