A collection of lyrics by musician Steve Whitworth.
Turn The Page
I walk in sorrow
Shame and dismay
Sacrificed tomorrow
To live for today
I’m trying to turn the page
Trying to turn the page
On my life
Sunsets have faded
Into the night
Worn down and jaded
Didn’t do what was right
Turn this thing around
Lost but can be found
Turn it inside out
Cast away these doubts
What about tomorrow
What about tomorrow
What about tomorrow
What about tomorrow

Warning
What if I had told you
What if I had warned you
What if I had gone out of my way
You’d just do it again, do it again
Even if I had forsaken
These rules and regulations
What if I had held my tongue
You’d just do it again, do it again
So nice to meet you
Don’t think I caught your name
But then all you scum down here
You’re really all the same
You’re common misfortune
Is not my time or space
How about we all agree
You are nothing but a disgrace
Oh but your heart needs a reason
To go on living this way
It can’t all just be about treason
That keeps you in this prisoners play
If you try to break my trust
I’ll grind you down to dust
Try just once and disobey
They’ll only be hell to pay

Maybe Tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Will be here today
We’ll shed this sorrow
And make a new way
‘Cause they so like pushing us
So like pushing us ‘round
And they so like kicking us
So like kicking us down
It’s never been wrong
To follow your heart
Just need to be strong
Stay true from the start
Cause they so like putting us
So like putting us down
And they so like kicking us
So like kicking us ‘round
You want it
You need it
You feel it
How long will it be?

Babylon Calling
You’re all alone
Hidden inside your misery
Trying to understand
Everything you see
Making that slide into
Obscurity
Taking that last ride to
Insecurity
There’s no where left to find
You’re caught between the lines
It’s just Babylon calling
Babylon calling
Everything you guarded
Is unlocked without a key
All your nightmares
Have come to set you free
Hanging by a thread to
Complacency
Wanting a free pass for
Degeneracy
Too late to win the game
You’re a spark without a flame

Pulls Me In
Looking into the corners of my mind
Searching for a truth now gone blind
Can’t see through what was to be
Was it always just fantasy
Or something more justified
A vision waits for me in the mist
It calls my name I can’t resist
It speaks in whispers sings in rhymes
Of distant memories yet to find
Lost in pages long since scribed
It pulls me in reaching for me
It pulls me in reaching for me
It pulls me in reaching for me
Aaah aah aah
A hidden treasure to be found
A golden memory locked in a crown
Mysterious wonders tales and signs
Strewn across the sands of time
Waiting to be opened once again

Drunk and Stoned
I want to get drunk
I want to get stoned
Want to feel just like I did
Twenty four hours ago
I want to get high
High as a kite
Unplug, tune out and get away
Tell the whole world goodbye
I want to get drunk
I want to get stoned
I want to go fishing
In my boat
Drive my truck shoot my guns
I want to be left alone
I’m going to say
What’s on my mind
If you don’t want to hear it
You can kiss my royal behind
I want to go fishing
In my boat
I want a woman
Who wants a man
For all the things that she is
What God made in his plan
Don’t want no messing
With my mind
Is he a she or she a him
It’s that not hard to understand
I want a woman
Who wants a man

So Easy
Say you wanna touch the sky
Baby come along with me
You say you wanna feel so good
Babe I’m going hp you to be
‘Cause I have a potion
Make you feel right
Girl I got your remedy
And I’ll take you higher
Than a bird on a wire
Babe I’m gonna help you to see
That it’s so easy to hang around with me
Ya it’s so easy so come and hitch a ride with me
Say you wanna run wild
I’ll take you past the setting sun
Say you wanna fill your dreams
Girl I’m gonna be the one
‘Cause I got a notion
That love is the answer
That’s all we have to believe
I’ll be your teacher
Your lover and preacher
Girl I’m gonna set you free

Much Too Much
Heading out on a midnight train
Down a one way track
Hoping I don’t forget my name
They’ll be time for that
There’s a woman I used to know
With the devil in her eyes
She taught me all there is to know
She was a wolf in disguise
And it’s much too much
Much too much to me
And it’s much too much
Mama let me be
Much too much to me
She cast a loving spell on me
She made my sight go blind
There was nothing she couldn’t be
To send me out of my mind
She knew just how to shake her hips
And make my senses shine
She knew just how to kiss my lips
She always took her time

Sunny Day
There are times
When I took the other way
And in my mind
So many things I want to say
If you were mine
I know I'd want to stay
Time ain't on my side
And those memories begin to fade
And all I ever wanted to
Was to hold and love you
But things just didn't
Turn out that way
Oh be mine
On a sunny day
Just take our time
And don't rush it away
Just hold me close
'Till dawn breaks the night
Don't want to go
'Cause this feelings so right
Yesterday
I was a younger man
And in my heart
I know that I understand
That day didn't come
When you took my hand
And led me far
Off to the promised land

Breakdown
Some people they want to
Always have it their own way
Some people they like to
Shoot down everything you say
I’ve never been one to
Get in anybody’s face
If I have to I will
Run you down and out of the race
Just lay your money down
And stare on down that line
Breakdown
Feel it coming round
Gonna kick your ass
Right out of town
Breakdown
Turn it all around
Take a good look
At what’s going down
Breakdown
Get down on your knees
You should have known
When to say please
Breakdown
It’s just you and me
And forever
Some people believe
They’ve got it all figured out
Some people think
All you have to do is shout
I’ve never been one to
Get in anybody’s face
But if I have to I will
Run you down and out of the race
Just lay your money down
And stare on down that line
