MERRY CHRISTMAS, SLUGGO
(c)2009 GUY GILCHRIST , GUY GILCHRIST MUSIC PUBLISHING
NO MATTER HOW MANY CHRISTMASES GO BY.
I 'LL REMEMBER........AND LOOK UP IN THAT SKY.
I COULD HEAR THAT SLED COMING
FLYING THROUGH THE NIGHT.
FILLED WITH ELVES AND PRESENTS
AND THAT MAN IN RED AND WHITE.
BUT I WAS IN DETENTION AT SAN QUENTIN SCHOOL FOR BOYS.
AND IT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN A PRISON BECAUSE I WASN'T GOING TO GET ANY TOYS.
IF I HAD BEEN A GOOD BOY AND DONE JUST LIKE SANTA HAD SAID.
THEN I WOULD BE ON HIS GOOD LIST, INSTEAD OF WISHING I WAS DEAD.
BUT I PUNCHED A KID IN MATH CLASS...JUST TO WATCH HIM CRY.
NOW THAT BIG SLED WITH THE REINDEER WAS GOING TO PASS ME BY.
OH, PLEASE, DON'T PASS ME BY.
I HEAR REINDEER IN THE SKY.
(SOBBING) OH HO HO MANNNNNNNNNNN....I AIN'T GETTIN' NOTHING FOR CHRISTMAS.
ALL I DID WAS WAS SLUG THE KID. HE DROPPED HIS LUNCH TRAY. THE LUNCH LADY TOLD ON ME, MAN.
"I SAW THAT, YOUNG MAN! OFF TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE WITH YOU, YOUNG MAN!"
OH HO HO HO, MAN.....NANCY'S GETTING A BARBIE....RICH KID'S GETTING EVERYTHING...CHACHING!!
OH HO HO, MAN...(SOBBING..)
NOW IF THEY HAD FREED ME FROM DETENTION, AND ON CHRISTMAS EVE THEY SHOULD...
I WOULDN'T PICK A FIGHT OR PICK MY NOSE.
I PROMISE. I'D BE GOOD.
BUT, I WAS IN DETENTION....AT SAN QUENTIN SCHOOL FOR BOYS.
AND IT WAS TOO LATE, I'D BEEN NAUGHTY...AND I WASN'T GETTING ANY TOYS.
OH HO HO, MAN.......I AIN'T GETTIN' NOTHING. I MEAN, IT WOULD BE SO RADICAL. I COULD GET , LIKE A SEARS RECORD PLAYER OR SOMETHING...WITH GLITTER ON IT.... A BRENDA LEE RECORD....
ONE OF THOSE CARL PERKINS HOW TO PLAY GUITAR BOOKS....THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!
A LITTLE HOT WHEELS CAR WITH DALE JR ON IT...SOME ORANGE TRACK....OH MAN...THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!
THEN CAME CHRISTMAS MORNING. I'D CRIED MYSELF TO BED.
WITH LUMPS OF COAL AND GRINCHES DANCING IN MY HEAD.
AND I WOKE UP FROM MY SLUMBERS...AND WHAT WAS THIS I SEE?
WAS THAT A LITTLE SOMETHING SHINY UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE?
YEAH. SANTA LEFT A PRESENT. EVEN AFTER WHAT I DID. WITH A NOTE SAID " MERRY CHRISTMAS, BOY. YOU AIN'T A ROTTEN KID. JUST STAY OUT OF DETENTION....AND START A LIVIN' RIGHT.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, SLUGGO. FROM THE MAN IN RED AND WHITE."
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYBODY! FROM THE MAN IN RED AND WHITE!
LOOK AT THIS MAN...I GOT A BRENDA LEE RECORD.....A SEARS PHONOGRAPH...
LOOK! IT'S GOT A RADIO ON IT AND EVERYTHING! THIS IS AWESOME!
IF I TILT IT UP LIKE THIS I CAN RIDE MY LITTLE HOT WHEELS CAR OFF IT...AND OOPS...I DONE SCARED THE DOG!
OH HA HA HA...MERRY CHRISTMAS, SLUGGO!

HOUSE OF GRAY
Lyrics and Music by Guy Gilchrist (BMI)

THERE'S A RIVER RUNNING THROUGH THE WOODS
BEHIND A HOUSE OF GRAY
AND I THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME
THOUGH I'VE LONG SINCE MOVED AWAY.
JUST A SIMPLE BACKWOODS RIVER
NOTHING SPECIAL THERE TO SEE
BUT THAT SIMPLE BACKWOODS RIVER
IS A PRECIOUS MEMORY.
ME AND MY GRANDPA
WHO WAS ALWAYS MY JOHN WAYNE
USED TO TAKE ME HUNTING THERE
IN THE EARLY MORNING RAIN.
AND WE'D TALK OF SCHOOL
AND ABOUT THE WAR
AND GOD
AND STRENGTH, AND PRIDE.
AND I'D GO THERE TO TALK TO HIM
IN THE TIME AFTER HE DIED.
THERE'S A RIVER RUNNING THROUGH THE WOODS
BEHIND A HOUSE OF GRAY
AND I THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME
THOUGH I'VE LONG SINCE MOVED AWAY.
JUST A SIMPLE BACKWOODS RIVER
NOTHING SPECIAL THERE TO SEE
BUT THAT SIMPLE BACKWOODS RIVER
IS A PRECIOUS MEMORY.
ME AND MY TWO BUDDIES
USED TO FISH THERE ALL THE TIME
BUT WE NEVER GOT AROUND TO FISHING MUCH
WITH SCHOOLGIRLS ON OUR MINDS.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE GIRLS WE LIKED
AND WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO
AND WONDERED IN OUR HIGH SCHOOL HEARTS
IF THEY'D LIKE TO DO IT TOO.
THEN, ONE DAY I MET A GIRL
THE ANGEL OF MY DREAMS
AND I WALKED HER BACK ON THE OLD CANAL
BACK TO MY SECRET STREAM.
AND I HELD HER TIGHT AND I KISSED HER
AND I GAVE MY HEART AWAY
AND WE MADE LOVE ON THE RIVERBANK
BEHIND THE HOUSE OF GRAY.
THERE'S A RIVER RUNNING THROUGH THE WOODS
BEHIND A HOUSE OF GRAY
AND I THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME
THOUGH I'VE LONG SINCE MOVED AWAY.
JUST A SIMPLE BACKWOODS RIVER
NOTHING SPECIAL THERE TO SEE
BUT THAT SIMPLE BACKWOODS RIVER
IS A PRECIOUS MEMORY.
JUST A SIMPLE BACKWOODS RIVER
NOTHING SPECIAL THERE TO SEE
JUST A SIMPLE BACKWOODS RIVER
NOTHING SPECIAL THERE TO SEE
JUST A SIMPLE BACKWOODS RIVER
NOTHING SPECIAL....

SHE'S GOT THE SUNSHINE IN THE MIDDLE OF HER FOREHEAD.
SHE'S GOT A LIGHT THAT GLOWS AND GLOWS.
SHE'S GOT THE SUNSHINE IN THE MIDDLE OF HER FOREHEAD,
AND SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE KNOWS AND SHE KNOWS....
SHE'S ALWAYS UP. SHE'S ALWAYS ON.
A SUNNY DREAM TO WISH UPON. AN ANGEL WALKING. MY SUNSHINE GIRL
WITH A LIGHT OF LOVE THAT'S LIGHTING UP THE WORLD.
SHE IS THE CHANGE SHE'D LIKE TO SEE...
THE LOVING WORLD SHE WANTS TO BE.
THEY SAY THAT CHANGE CAN START WITH ONE
TILL THE WHOLE FREE WORLD IS SHINING LIKE THE SUN.
SHE'S GOT THE SUNSHINE IN THE MIDDLE OF HER FOREHEAD.
SHE'S GOT A LIGHT THAT GLOWS AND GLOWS.
SHE'S GOT THE SUNSHINE IN THE MIDDLE OF HER FOREHEAD,
AND SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE KNOWS AND SHE KNOWS....
AND WHEN WE'RE LYING SKIN TO SKIN
I FEEL HER LIGHT THAT BURNS WITHIN
HER LIGHT OF LOVE, WARM AS THE SUN
SHINING ON AND ON AND ON......
CHORUS............
AND SHE JUST GLOWS.

I DON'T NEED YOU
Lyrics (c) 2008 Guy Gilchrist (BMI)
All World Rights Reserved
I NEED A GOOD PRAYER TO PRAY SOMEDAYS.
SOMEDAYS I NEED A SHOT OF JACK.
SOMEDAYS I NEED MY REARVIEW MIRROR BROKE
SO THERE AIN'T NO LOOKING BACK.
SOMETIMES I NEED AN OPEN DOOR.
SOMETIMES I NEED A PRISON CELL.
SOMETIMES I NEED A REF ON THE TAKE
SO I CAN GET SAVED BY THE BELL.
BUT I DON'T NEED YOU.
NO, I DON'T NEED YOU.
I MAY NEED A LIFE, AND I MAY NEED A CLUE.
BUT I DON'T NEED YOU.
SOMETIMES I NEED TO COOL MY JETS.
SOMETIMES I NEED TO BURN MY CLOTHES.
SOMETIMES I NEED TO DIG A HOLE
AND
CLIMB IN AS DEEP AS IT GOES.
SOMETIMES I NEED AN OLIVE BRANCH.
SOMETIMES I NEED A GUN.
SOMETIMES I NEED A NIGHT OF SWEATY SIN.
SOMETIMES I HATE EVERYONE.
BUT I DON'T NEED YOU.
NO, HONEY, I DON'T NEED YOU.
I MAY NEED A LIFE
AND I MAY NEED A CLUE
BUT HONEY, I DON'T NEED YOU.
AND SOMETIMES I NEED A LOT OF JOHNNY CASH.
AND SOMETIMES I NEED EMMYLOU
AND SOMETIMES I NEED HALF A BOTTLE TO FORGET
AND SOMETIMES I NEED TWO.
SOMETIMES I NEED HANK WILLIAMS CRYIN.
AND SOMETIMES I NEED PATSY CLINE.
AND SOMETIMES I NEED A LOBOTOMY
TO EMPTY OUT MY MIND.
BUT I DON'T NEED YOU.
NO, HONEY, I DON'T NEED YOU.
I MAY NEED A LIFE
AND I MAY NEED A CLUE
BUT HONEY, I DON'T NEED YOU.
SOMETIMES I NEED THAT HOLE IN MY SOUL
TO GET STITCHED UP AND FIXED.
AND SOMETIMES I NEED ME A RED HOT NURSE (or DOC, if a girl's singing this)
TO HELP ME SCRATCH THAT ITCH.
BUT I DON'T NEED YOU.
NO, HONEY, I DON'T NEED YOU.
I MAY NEED A LIFE
AND I MAY NEED A CLUE
BUT HONEY, I DON'T NEED YOU.
SOMETIMES I NEED ME A REAL FAST CAR.
SOMETIMES I NEED A PLANE.
SOMETIMES I NEED TO LAY MY HEAD ON THE TRACKS
AND WAIT FOR THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN.
BUT I DON'T NEED YOU.
NO, HONEY, I DON'T NEED YOU.
I MAY NEED A LIFE
AND I MAY NEED A CLUE
BUT HONEY, I DON'T NEED YOU.

HOPPY, THE RANGER AND ROY

HOPPY, THE RANGER AND ROY
THE HEROES OF THIS LITTLE BOY.
A SILVER BULLET
A "YOU'RE WELCOME, MA'AM"
THEY'RE ALL A PART OF WHO I AM.
HOPPY, THE RANGER, AND ROY.
I HAD A TREASURE CHEST FULL OF THEIR TOYS.
WITH MY ROY ROGERS HAT
AND A CAP GUN THAT GLEAMED
AND A HEAD FULL OF BIG, WESTERN DREAMS.
CON-MEN, AND BANDITS AND RUSTLERS
GAMBLERS AND RIVERBOAT HUSTLERS....
NO NEED TO FRET.
ALL WRONGS ARE SET RIGHT
IN GLORIOUS, FULL BLACK AND WHITE.
THEY NEVER ACCEPTED ANY PAY.
THEY'D JUST SMILE, WAVE AND GALLOP AWAY.
LEAVE THE BAD GUYS IN JAIL
AND THE TOWN'S FOLK IN JOY....
HOPPY, THE RANGER, AND ROY.
I NEVER REALLY HAD ME A DAD.
THESE HEROES WERE ALL THAT I HAD.
WHEN FACED WITH A CHOICE...
I'D SAY, "WHAT WOULD THEY DO?"
THEN, I'D JUST GO AND TRY TO DO IT , TOO.
HOPPY, THE RANGER AND ROY.
THE HEROES OF THIS LITTLE BOY.
WITH MY ROY ROGERS HAT
AND A CAP GUN THAT GLEAMED...
AND A HEAD FULL OF BIG WESTERN DREAMS.

HEART OF THE NIGHT
Music and lyrics (c) 2007 Guy Gilchrist BMI

JUST BEYOND MY VISION
IN THE VAPOR TRAIL OF A STAR
THE NIGHT MAY FLASH HER MYSTERIOUS SMILE
BUT I CAN'T SEE THAT FAR.
IN THE HEART OF THE NIGHT
IN THE HEART OF THE NIGHT
IN THE CRUEL, COOL HEART OF THE NIGHT
I KNOW SHE HIDES MY SECRETS
AND MY WISHES NEVER SPOKEN
AND WITHIN HER SWIM ALL THE SHOOTING STARS
AND ALL THE PROMISES THEY'VE BROKEN
IN THE HEART OF THE NIGHT
IN THE HEART OF THE NIGHT
IN THE COOL CRUEL HEART OF THE NIGHT
HER BREEZE REACHES ME
AND KISSES MY CHEEK
I FEEL HER CHILL RIGHT THROUGH ME.
THE HEART OF THE NIGHT
MAY BE WARM FOR SOME
BUT I CAN'T BRING IT TO ME.
THE HEART OF THE NIGHT
THE HEART OF THE NIGHT
THE COOL CRUEL HEART
OF THE NIGHT
THERE IS NO PEACE FOR THIS RESTLESS SOUL
AS THE STARS ARE CHASED BY THE SUN
TILL ONCE AGAIN MY WORLD TURNS DARK
AND ONCE AGAIN SHE COMES
THE HEART OF THE NIGHT
THE HEART OF THE NIGHT
THE COOL CRUEL HEART OF THE NIGHT
IN THE HEART OF THE NIGHT
IN THE HEART OF THE NIGHT
IN THE COOL CRUEL HEART OF THE NIGHT.
