1. This is love (P. Mariotti & L. Mariotti)
    I think I’ve never been so well prepared,

    For a someone like you to come along

    Fancy line, curves so fine,

    You’re just plain cool

    The way you move and your sexy ways

     

    O thought, I dign’t have much to give,

    Holdin’on to that little piece of wood !

    Crazy lines , and curves so fine

    It’s just playin’ cool

    Love the way it moves’round my body

     

    I’ve been a fool !

    Fool that you could care’bout me, oh no,

    I’ve been foolin’ myself and pretending

    That you could ever be mine.

     

    And this is love !

    Love that I feel for you, oh no,

    When I hold you in my arms this is love,

    Love that I feel.

     

    A brand new dance is all you ever asked for

    To blow away the failures of the past ;

    Then I’ve held you oh so tight,

    And we just felt allright,

    But at the end of the dance you were gone

     

    I knew that you would come back someday

    Crawlin’ back and knockin’on my door

    Then I’ve held you oh so tight

    We just felt all right,

    And I let you come into my world
     

  2. Real life (L. Mariotti & P. Mariotti)
    You can drive a truck every day trying to make some money

    You can work hard in a bank to help rich people be happy

    But don’t be surprised if you’re wasting your time in a life that you don’t understand.
     

    I knew some people live for their job praying they would never loose it

    But when it comes the time that the boss says you’re fired and there’s nothing to do!

    But don’t be surprised if you’re wasting your time in a life that you don’t understand.
     

    Well I’m not that kind of man

    I’ve just found the easy way to live

    I’m not looking for fortune and fame

    I’m chasing the sun and my wife loves me
     

    You can change girlfriends every week
    It makes you feel like Casanova
    You think ‘bout your look all day long
    And make believe you’re a high class man
    So don’t be surprised if you’re wasting your time in a life that you don’t understand.

    Have you ever heard talking ‘bout the real life
    Hey man that’s the life i live
    The day I play music in my new house
    And I spend the night on the beach
    I won’t be surprised of wasting my time in a life that I don’t understand

    Well I’m not that kind of man
    I’ve just found the easy way to live
    I’m not looking for fortune and fame

    Have you ever heard talking ‘bout the real life
    Hey man that’s the life I live
    The day I play music in my new house
    And I spend the night on the beach
    I won’t be surprised of wasting my time in a life that I don’t understand
    Oh I won’t be surprised of wasting my time in a life that I don’t understand.
     

  3. Yellow Creek (L. Mariotti & P. Mariotti)

    We’re the children of this country
    We’re the sons of the Cherokees
    We’ve been warriors for centuries
    But we’ve been told to leave

    The mountains stand tall and proud
    To show you yellow Creek
    And my brothers stood on the ground
    Just to see yellow Creek

    My grand-daddy was a wise man
    He was the Indian chef
    The last time we climbed that hill
    I told him to rest in peace

    Then he had one last look around
    One last breath in yellow Creek
    And we keep praying for the man
    For the king of the Cherokees

    The oak trees reach the sky
    Here the night is also blue
    I will always be a part
    I will never be far from you

    Glory glory hallelujah
    Glory glory to yellow Creek
    Glory glory America
    We’re the sons of your dynasty.

    We’re the children of this country
    We’re the sons of the Cherokees
    We’ve been warriors for centuries
    But we’ve been told to leave

    Glory glory hallelujah
    Glory glory to yellow Creek
    Glory glory America
    We’re the sons of your dynasty.

     

  4. You know how (P. Mariotti & L. Mariotti)
    I’ve been searching for a long time

    To catch the dream I wanted to find

    I’ve been losin’all the games

    That love can bring to you in vain

     

    I walked alone the lonely places

    All around were happy faces

    They had a ball while I was alone

    I’ve been bluer than blue

  5. You know how to tear me up

    You know how to turn me down

    You know how to make feel bad

    You know how to make me feel good

     

    And one day I met you girl

    I knew my search’had ended

    The love we live is a mystery

    Dreams can be

     

    One day you came to me

    Dear angel to see

    The love we feel is heaven to me

    Don’t ever leave me alone

  6.  

 

  1. Wild wild woman (L. Mariotti & P. Mariotti)
    I was cruising downtown last night

    The radio on just feeling all right

    But when i looked at the old bar blinds

    There was something in me that drew me in
     

    Wild wild woman I’m gonna have a good time

    Wild wild woman she’s the best you can find

    Wild wild woman I’m gonna spend my time on
    Wild wild wild woman
     

    I was here just turning around
    Couple of beers just to spend my time
    When that girl opened the door
    We all went crazy and I said man “what a relief! “

    Wild wild woman I’m gonna have a good time
    Wild wild woman she’s the best you can find
    Wild wild woman I’m gonna spend my time on
    Wild wild wild woman

    I’ve known girls since my early age
    I’ve been known as a hurricane
    But when that girl dances close to me
    My body trembles and it’s hard to breathe!
     

    Wild wild woman I’m gonna have a good time
    Wild wild woman she’s the best you can find
    Wild wild woman I’m gonna spend my time on
    Wild wild wild woman.
     

  2. Lonely world (P. Mariotti & L. Mariotti)
    And now I stand alone and dream

    Here in my lonely world

    And I don’t have to think it’s real

    A dream is just a dream

     

    I don’t feel my blues at all

    I knew that I would someday fall

    Here in my lonely call

    Dreamin my whole world alone

     

    And I don’t have to climb the stairs to heaven

    To reach my lucky star and fly above;

    This is how it goes,

    I just gotta close my eyes,

    This is how it goes,

    And let my mind wander,

    Here in my empty world, where the love has gone !

     

    And this is who I am

    Alone is my middle name,

    This is where I fell,

    Living in my lonely world

     

    A fallen angel came along

    Somehow she had lost her wings

    We shared the best for a while

    One day she flew away !

  1. Lonesome driving man (L. Mariotti & P. Mariotti)
    In my home town people are happy to meet me

    When I get around they tell me how they missed me

    I know that I’m traveling; like that it’s not easy to live

    Far from home lord give me a break to breathe
     

    Well I’m a lonesome driving man

    I’m trucking from town to town to pay my rent

    From bars to bars it’s never the same

    I’m having fun with all the lonesome driving men yeah all!
     

    On my way back there’s a place called “hamburger’s jane”

    Where you can find the best barmaids in the land

    The jukebox is on, they have some Strait and some Jones

    A beer in my hand i’m a lonesome driving man
     

    Well I’m a lonesome driving man

    I’m trucking from town to town to pay my rent

    From bars to bars it’s never the same

    I’m having fun with all the lonesome driving men
     

    There’s a honky tonk girl waiting for me down in Texas

    When I go there I stop my truck for awhile

    She likes the football, and she needs a husband soon

    She drives me crazy but I need my freedom too

    Well I’m a lonesome driving man
     

    I’m trucking from town to town to pay my rent

    From bars to bars it’s never the same

    I’m having fun with all the lonesome driving man
     

  2. Hillbilly heaven (P. Mariotti & L. Mariotti)
    Well I just made up my mind

    The life I live just suits me fine

    And the tears I cried for you

    No longer fall

    The dreams we dreamt of were not real at all
     

    Each night I go to a little place downtown

    Were guys like me feel homebound

    And the whisky is flowin’ like the music

    All night long

    I’m just a honkytonk-night-time man

     

    In this hillbilly heaven

    The whisky will ease my pain

    In this hillbilly heaven

    I forget my memories

    In this hillbilly heaven

    I’m drinkin’out my misery

    Hillbilly heaven

    Is heaven to me

  3.  

    The day you said it’s over and done

    You left me broken and alone

    And I cried I could change and swore I’d rearrange

    But you said boy this is too late

     

  1. Cajun moon (P. Mariotti & L. Mariotti)
    Every Saturday night, we jump in the cars,

    Leave all the sighs and pick-up guitars,

    We dance and we sing and drink a little thing

    That’s what we do in a Louisiana night

     

    And the Bayou’s by, by and by

    And the moon is high in the cajun sky

    And we have a lot of fun

    Simetimes... a little drunk

    Full full moon is the cajun sky

     

    Cajun moon, shines up above

    Cajun moon, is all I love

    Cajun dream, is just so real

    Come and live, this honey moon

     

    And the stars shine bright, up in the sky

    Keep me here for a little while

    Cajun night is just so fine

    Falling stars in the Louisiana sky

     

    And the girls are pretty

    And the boys are ready

    To have a little fun, before the louisiana sun

    And we’ll never forget

    And never regret

    Oh honey moon in the cajun night
     

  2. I walked in (L. Mariotti & P. Mariotti)

    Texas driveway, lonely night

    I’m on my way to Houston town

    Dreams so clear, love so true

    Disappeared when I lost you
     

    I reach the final place, I walk near the baroom

    Where I saw your face, my last night here with you
     

    Then I walked in, I walked out

    Well I walked through the door of the place where I first met you,

    And I looked in, I looked out

    All the shadows dancing on the wall on our favorite songs.
     

    Lonely is my way, the night’s so blue

    Can’t stop heartache, since we’re through

    Pain and the anger haunt my mind

    I’ll have my revenge, when I’ll shoot you down
     

    All those crazy things you told me in the past

    I thought I was the one, but now I realize
     

    Then I walked in, I walked out

    Well I walked through the door of the place where I first met you,

    And I looked in, I looked out

    All the shadows dancing on the wall on our favorite songs.


     

  3. A long time ago (L. Mariotti & P. Mariotti)
    A long time ago, I started to play good ol’songs

    I’ve dreamed ‘bout fifties but in fifties I wasn’t born

    A hard life to live, no one could understand

    But you’ve helped me my brother to become a man
     

    A long time ago, I was singing old country songs.

    Haggard, Cash and Waylon, everytime I was home

    You were by my side and your fiddle was playing out loud

    For neighbourhoods to hear us, like two good ol’stars
     

    We were kings of the kings when we were playing together

    No one could bring us down we were flying too high

    No matter how they try faith is our power

    No matter what they do as two we’re so strong
     

    A long time ago, I was dreaming to sing up on stage

    And my name written down at the Madison Square

    A pretty babe to love and a brand new shining car

    The day my dream came true, you were still around
     

    We are kings of the kings when we‘re playing together

    No one can bring us down we are flying too high

    No matter how they try faith is our power

    No matter what they do as two we’re so strong

    No matter what they do as two we’re so strong

     

  4. Half tempo country (P. Mariotti & L. Mariotti)
    I started playin’ guitar at an early early age

    My brother Larry learned the classic violin

    We learnt to play the studies and we learnt to play the scales

    Mozart bach Beethoven were all our music games

     

    Our daddy was a rock n roller guitar playing man

    He understood the way to be a musician

    He taught us the will, he taught us the feel,

    For playin the music we love and make us live

     

    And it’s half tempo country

    And half classic pieces

    Cause we wear our concert suits

    And walk in cowboy boots

    Well it’s half tempo country

    Half classic pieces

    Music’s still music, and we love to play them all

     

    As we grew up together we’ve been following the tracks

    Of Willie Nelson Johnny Cash as Waylon Jennings too

    We learnt the rockabilly and the country music too

    The greatest thing on earth is music from the heart

     

    Sometimes I find myself playin in a quiet concert hall

    Only me and my guitar on this big stage foor

    When I find myself in an orchestra the music let it flow

    I count the days that separate us for our next western show
