LET’S DO THIS!
David Sirull ©2014
We’ve been wantin’ to make some changes and climb that so-called ladder
Sounds kinda funny but a little more money, just enough so it won’t matter.
Answerin’ to so many people, that gets old in a hurry
Let’s go someplace else, where the stress can’t be felt
And we won’t ever have to worry.
We’ve heard it said over and over – Go ahead and chase your dreams.
Turn that frown upside down and make the best of everything.
SO LET’S BRING THIS PLACE DOWN AND GET OUTTA TOWN
AFTER WE DRINK THESE MINT JULEPS
HAND ME MY KEYS AND KISS ME PLEASE
COME ON GIRL – LET’S DO THIS!
We’ll take the bull by the horns now, we’ll have to believe in ourselves
Keep one foot in front of the other, have faith we’re gonna get ahead.
Together there ain’t one thing lackin’ but really, we ought to start packin’
the sooner we go, that good luck can flow, if you believe it is your destiny.
We’ve heard it said over and over – Go ahead and chase your dreams.
Turn that frown upside down and make the best of everything.

I WANT TO BE YOUR REDNECK
David Sirull © 2013
I want you to have someone, who's there when you're in need
I want you to have someone, who'll dare to let you breathe.
I want to take you dancing, and hold you by my side
I want to drink some beer with you and maybe spend the night.
We’ll drive down to the rodeo, and your friends can come along
We’ll listen to the radio, and sing those good old songs.
Anything that’s country, and you’re playin’ my tune
Let’s get together and let’s make it really soon.
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
THAT’S MY MASON-DIXON LINE
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
AND I’M HOPIN’ THAT YOU WILL BE MINE.
I’ve got an F-150 pickup truck, I’m all red, white and blue
An American supporter, of all that’s good and true.
Wille, Merle and Waylon – the Opry is my home
Tonight I won’t be lonesome – down country roads we’ll roam.
A little tailgate party, and we’ll sit really close
And then we’ll listen to music, to the songs that we love most.
Anything that’s country, and you’re playin’ my tune
Let’s get together and let’s make it really soon.
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
THAT’S MY MASON-DIXON LINE
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
AND I’M HOPIN’ THAT YOU WILL BE MINE.
I’m a Southern gentleman, all grits and black-eyed peas
Grandma taught me awfully good, thank you ma’am and please.
So let’s go waltzin’ all night long from here to Tennessee
I’ll be your redneck babe, you’ll be my Texas T.
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
THAT’S MY MASON-DIXON LINE
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
I WANNA BE YOUR REDNECK
AND I’M HOPIN’ THAT YOU WILL BE MINE.
OH I’M HOPIN’ BABE THAT YOU’LL ALWAYS BE MINE.
WHAT DO I KNOW
David Sirull ©2011
It’s been too long since I told you that I care and how I feel
It’s been too long since we’ve spent some time alone.
And I get the sense that since you still are in my heart, my dear
that no matter what, you never will be gone.
I FIND I THINK OF YOU ALL DAY
I THOUGHT FOR SURE YOU’D ALWAYS STAY
I THOUGHT I’D NEVER SEE THE DAY
BUT WHAT DO I KNOW?
AND SO THE ONLY THING I DO
IS SIT RIGHT HERE AND THINK OF YOU
I’M OBSESSED, YES IT’S TRUE
BUT WHAT DO I KNOW.
I’m a fool for fellowship and I’m friendly to a fault
And I could not be hurtful if I tried.
I believe in lovin’ everybody, just like they love me
and that is why I feel so good inside.
BUT STILL I THINK OF YOU ALL DAY
I THOUGHT FOR SURE YOU’D ALWAYS STAY
THOUGHT I’D NEVER SEE THE DAY
BUT WHAT DO I KNOW?
AND SO THE ONLY THING I DO
IS SIT RIGHT HERE AND THINK OF YOU
I’M OBSESSED, YES IT’S TRUE
BUT WHAT DO I KNOW.
I appreciate perfection though I never will come close
and I perceive that perfect people must be proud.
I’m just thankful that I live somewhere that someone like me
has opinions that are legally allowed.
OH BABE I THINK OF YOU ALL DAY… (repeat chorus)

I DON’T PLAY NO GAMES
David Sirull © 1992
My heart ain’t no chess set, so you can’t put me in check mate,
I used to be a flutist, but I no longer play.
And I ain’t no Monopoly board so you can’t stay at my Park Place,
I play 18 on Sundays, but I don’t play no games.
I DON’T PLAY NO GAMES, SO DON’T YOU PLAY WITH ME
WIN OR LOSE, I FALL SHORT, THAT’S JUST THE WAY IT SEEMS.
I’m glued to the tube for the Family Feud and I’m a Scrabble-playin’ fool
And I’m one for Nintendo, and I’m a Gameboy dude.
No my mind ain’t no Risk board, you ain’t gonna capture me
No I ain’t playin’ games child, that’s just the way it’s s’posed to be.
If I had played horseshoes, or cricket or lacrosse,
It would not have mattered if I had won or lost.
You can’t say play it again, Sam to me for two good reasons, babe,
For one, my name ain’t Sam, and two – I don’t play games.
I DON’T PLAY NO GAMES, SO DON’T YOU PLAY WITH ME
WIN OR LOSE, I FALL SHORT, THAT’S JUST THE WAY IT SEEMS. (2X)

UP YOURS
David Sirull © 2013
I'm tryin’ to raise some money for my friends around the world
I want to do the right thing now and then.
I know the feelin’
I've been there before.
That's a place I never want to see again.
Well I've got the answer
a real solution, and it's opened up so many doors.
All I had to do was, up my pledge
and so I'm just tellin’ you up yours.
UP YOURS, THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
YOU'LL FEEL BETTER --
YOU'LL FEEL BETTER THAN YOU DID BEFORE.
DO LIKE I DID, I UPPED MY PLEDGE, AND NOW I'M TELLIN’ YOU UP YOURS.
I don't wanna dwell, on the attributes of man
You give whatever you can afford
But I'll share with you my recipe
I upped my pledge and now I'm tellin’ you up yours. CHORUS

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE AUGUSTA
David Sirull © 2013
There’s a breeze in my face, as I’m riding along.
There are lyrics on my lips, and my heart is full of song.
All of life’s a journey.
We just have to find that place where we belong,
and I know where mine is
where my soul will be, long after I’m gone.
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE AUGUSTA
NO PLACE ELSE LIKE GEORGIA THAT I KNOW
WHERE WE’RE ALL FREE TO OUR BELIEFS
AND MINE IS THAT THERE’S A SLICE OF HEAVEN
RIGHT DOWN HERE ON THE GOOD OL’ EARTH BELOW.
The Savannah River, dogwoods in the park,
Springtime Amen Corner, downtown after dark.
All of life’s a journey.
We just have to find that place where we belong,
and I know where mine is
where my soul will always be. CHORUS
When there are dark clouds all around you
and you must keep movin’ on,
‘cause you know I bet the best is yet to come.
This is a great country, and there’s no place I’d rather be
Augusta, Georgia’s home sweet home for me.
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE AUGUSTA
NO PLACE ELSE LIKE GEORGIA THAT I KNOW

Augusta, Georgia’s home sweet home for me.

A GIRL NAMED SARA
David Sirull © 2010
Let me tell you somethin' 'bout a girl named Sara
just a word or two about her smile.
She'll light up a room, she'll sing you a tune
and she'll keep you laughin' all the while.
Let me tell you somethin' 'bout a girl named Sara
she sure don't take up a lot of space.
But her heart's full of joy, the dream of every boy,
those eyes and that movie star face.
SARA MY DARLIN, SARA MY SWEETHEART
YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYE.
I CAN'T IMAGINE A GREATER LOVE
PROMISE ME YOU'LL NEVER SAY GOODBYE.
Let me tell you somethin' 'bout a girl named Sara
smart as a whip -- yes she is.
I tell ya she's no phoney, she don't take no baloney,
and she will stand up for what she believes.
Let me tell you somethin' 'bout a girl named Sara
when it comes to kids and dogs and cats,
she’s about as good with them as they come.
I would say her ranking’s world class.

SHE SAID THAT I WOULD NEVER LEARN
David Sirull © 2013
I'VE GOT A BIG HONKIN' HOUSE AND AN RV IN THE YARD,
A HARLEY AND A BOAT AND A LUXURY CAR.
I'VE GOT SO MANY BELLS AND WHISTLES I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO TURN
OH MY MOMMA, SHE WAS RIGHT -- SHE SAID THAT I WOULD NEVER LEARN.
My grades were unacceptable in school
and I always had a problem with following the rules.
But daddy said be punctual and have integrity,
that everything will work out for the best my son you'll see.
CHORUS
I've made a few mistakes along the line
but pulled things back together and just in the nick of time.
I know I'm far from perfect but at least I try my best.
Standing tall and flyin' straight's the secret to success.
CHORUS
I've always held the short end of the stick.
It's always been so hard to get ahead just a little bit.
But keep the faith and stand your ground,
that's what I did and I'm still around,
and it's all good from right here where I sit.

WHERE YOU WAS
David Sirull ©2013
Why did you leave me again my dear,
I thought we had things worked out between us.
Seemed like things were goin’ good and I was really tryin’.
Then you got with your mother and you were Baltimore bound.
You’ve got the baby, and I’m stuck with the dog,
and I’ll never rest until you’re found. (2X)
WHERE DID YOU GO, WHY DON’T YOU KNOW
I WAS SITTIN’ HERE WITH A PERMANENT BUZZ.
WHERE DID YOU GO, WHY DON’T YOU KNOW
I WAS SITTIN’ HERE WONDERIN’ WHERE YOU WAS.
We just had that talk about how old we’d grow together.
I thought we were lookin’, at least a hundred years.
You’ve got the baby and I’m stuck with the hound,
and I’ll never rest until you’re found. (2X)

I LOST A BROTHER
David Sirull © 2013
We were young and innocent, boys in their youth,
with no sense of destiny, ah ain’t that the truth.
They’re a few nights I remember that I wish I could forget
and a few I can’t remember and those may have been worse yet.
FATE HAS A WAY OF MAKING CHOICES FOR US
BUT AS FOR MY TWO CENTS, I KNOW THERE’S NOTHING TO DISCUSS.
IT IS WHAT IT IS, WE CAN’T TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME
YOU’RE FREE TO YOUR CONVICTIONS, BUT I’M ALSO FREE TO MINE.
GO AND MAKE YOUR CHOICES, AND LET ME MAKE MINE.
But with all things considered and after all is said and done,
I wouldn’t change a single thing, ah, I know what’s done is done.
Despite all of the good times and the blessings I’ve been shown,
I lost a brother, for reasons still unknown.

MY GUITAR
David Sirull © 2013
I can’t make it through one day
Least I haven’t found the way
without my little fingers touchin’ you.
How you’ve helped me to grow
you give music to my soul
and I believe in giving credit where it’s due.
MY GUITAR, WE’RE A TEAM
MY GUITAR, SHE’S A DREAM
WITHOUT HER BY MY SIDE I WON’T BE SEEN.
MY GUITAR, SO MUCH FUN
MY GUITAR, SHE’S THE ONE
AROUND THE WORLD TOGETHER WE HAVE BEEN.
I just want you to stay
and never ever go away.
Your slender neck and body with the curves.
I just want you to know
I want you with me wherever I go,
the accolades my friend that you deserve.
Like the river keeps on rollin’ by,
I just keep on wonderin’ why
and I believe in giving credit where it’s due.
