Surfing on the Río Grande
Stefan Hiss

From sunup to sundown we’re riding these plains
It’s hot in the valley and seldom it rains
And when we’ve had enough of the heat and the sand
We go surfing on the Río Grande

We’ve been to Hanalei and Uluwatu,
to Montañita Beach and Lima, Peru
But once you’ve been to Texas, then you’ll understand
There’s nothing like surfing on the Río Grande

Río Grande, Río Grande
The wind cries again and again Río Grande
Río Grande, Río Grande
The wind cries again and again Río Grande

So put on your Stetson and whistle this song
Ride down to El Paso, take your surfboard along
And when you’ve reached the river, you have made it my friend
You’ll be surfing on the Río Grande
You’ll be surfing on the Río Grande

Diesel smoke, dangerous curves
Martin

I'm drivin' this truck on a mountain road
I got a hot rod rig, I'm flyin' low
My eyes are filled with diesel smoke
hairpin curves ain't no joke
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

I was out last night drinkin' beer with the guys
Got an achin' head and blood shot eyes
I met up with a pretty little dame
I didn't even know her name
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

If I deliver this hot shot freight
I gotta get movin' cause I'm runnin' late
These mountain grades are mighty steep
Can’t stay awake, ain’t had no sleep
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

There's a cute little waitress at the bottom of the grades
She's got hot coffee already made
I gotta keep my eyes upon the road
Cause I'm goin' down the hill with a heavy load
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

I must have closed my eyes for a while
Cause here I am, I'm runnin' wild
I burn my brakes, strip my gears
Now I gotta ride her down I fear
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

Now I should have left these women alone
But it's too late now cause I think I’m gone
I got myself into this fix
Just because I tried to mix
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves
Diesel smoke, dangerous curves

Funnel of love
McCoy, Westbury

Here I go, falling down, down, down My mind is a blank
My head is spinning around and around
As I go deep into the funnel of love

It's such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in my knees
My poor old head is a reelin'
As I go deep into the funnel of love

I tried and I tried, to run and hide
I even tried to run away
You just can't hide from the funnel of love
It's gonna get you someday

It's such a crazy, crazy feeling
I get weak in my knees,
My poor old head is a reelin'
As I go deep into the funnel of love

I tried and I tried, to run and hide
I even tried to run away
You just can't run from the funnel of love
It's gonna get you someday

Here I go, going down, down, down
My mind is a blank
My head is spinning around and around
As I go deep into the funnel of love
Deep into the funnel of love
Deep into the funnel of love

Barn dance bop
Stefan Hiss

If you wanna have a ball, and stay out late
there‘s nothing like a barn dance in the lone star state
do the barn dance bop, the barn dance bop
swing and sway and skip and hop
and do the barn dance bop

The beer is cold and the music‘s hot
the cowgirls are dancing, they show what they got
they do the barn dance bop, the barn dance bop
they swing and sway and skip and hop
they do the barn dance bop

The band plays the boogie, they do it with style
they‘re rockin‘ and boppin‘, drivin‘ everybody wild
they play the barn dance bop,the barn dance bop
they strum and squeeze and never stop
they play the barn dance bop

The cowboys are drinking, they‘re havin‘ their fun,
they‘re cussing and fightin‘ and shootin‘ their guns
They do the barn dance bop, the barn dance bop
they drink and dance until they drop
they do the barn dance bop

Now it‘s early in the morning, everybody‘s tired
let‘s call in the dogs and piss on the fire
that was the barn dance bop....

Ojitos traidores
Gallarzo, Aramburu

Por unos ojitos negros, negritos como mi suerte
por unos ojitos negros, negritos como mi suerte

Me estan quitando la vida, me van a causar la muerte
me estan quitando la vida, me van a causar la muerte

El día que tú me mires con cariño y sin desprecio
el día que tú me mires con cariño y sin desprecio

Voy a decirte serrana lo mucho que yo te quiero
voy a decirte serrana lo mucho que yo te quiero

Si de día me encandelan, de noche no quieren verme

Quieres decirme serrana qué hace falta pa' quererte
quieres decirme serrana qué hace falta pa' quererte

Si de día me encandelan, de noche no quieren verme

Quieres decirme serrana qué hace falta pa' quererte
quieres decirme serrana qué hace falta pa' quererte

Swinging hula girl
Fontana, Welzig

Out on an island in the middle of the sea
There's a swingin' hula girl that waits for me
Her eyes are softer than the moonlight on the sand
I want to be her swingin' hula man

Ref.:
My swingin' hula, I'm actin' like a fool-a
Where did you go to school-a to learn to dance that way
Your moves excite me, I want you undeniedly
Do you think I might be your hula man some day?

I heard the pounding of the drums not far away
Her daddy told me that I really shouldn't stay
We said goodbye because they said our love was wrong
We were two swingers, swingin' all along

Ref.

Your hula man some day?
Your hula man some day?
Your hula man some day?

Fuego
Springsteen

I'm driving in my car, turn on the radio
I'm pulling you close, you just say no
You say you don't like it, but I know you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss - uuuhh – fire

Late at night I'm drivin' you home
I say I want to stay, you say you want to be alone
You say you don't love me, but girl you can't hide your desire
'Cause when we kiss - uuuhh – fire

You had a hold on me, right from the start
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin' and I’m actin' like a fool
Your kisses they burn but your heart stays cool

Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet their love they didn't deny
Your words say split but your words they lie
'Cause when we kiss - uuuhh - fire

Estamos en mi camioneta con cumbia en el radio
Quisiera tocarte pero tú dices no
Dices que no me quieres pero yo sé que es un juego
Porque cuando besamos - uuuhh – fuego

Samson y Delilah, Julieta y Romeo
Es más claro que el agua, no escondieron su amor
Dices que no me quieres pero yo sé que es un juego
Porque cuando besamos - uuuhh – fuego

Fuego, fuego, …

Inspiración
Valenzuela

Yo canto de mi corazón
Y tú mi amigo inspiras mis pasos
Me voy por el mundo conociendo varia gente
Pero nunca con una persona como tú

Mirame ya estoy aquí
Si pudieras mirarme que pensaras de mí
Pero hoy es muy tarde para decirte que soy cambiado
Me duele me duele que ya no estas aqui

Ya es muy tarde
Para decirte que soy cambiado
Ya es muy tarde
Para decirte que soy cambiado

Mirame ya estoy aquí
Si pudieras mirarme que pensaras de mí
Pero hoy es muy tarde para decirte que soy cambiado
Me puede me duele que ya no estas aquí

Ya es muy tarde
Para decirte que soy cambiado
Ya es muy tarde
Para decirte que soy cambiado

Delia's gone
Cash

Delia, oh, Delia, Delia all my life
If I hadn't have shot poor Delia
I'd a had her for my wife
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

I went up to Memphis
And I met Delia there
Found her in her parlor
And I tied to her chair
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

She was low down and trifling
She was cold and mean
Kind of evil make me want to grab my submachine
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

First time I shot her I shot her in the side
Hard to see her suffer
But with the second shot she died
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

You bring me my hammer, I’ll drag the ball and chain
And every rock I bust
I seem to ring out Delia's name
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

So if you woman's devilish
You can let her run
Or you can bring her down and do her
Like Delia got done
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone

Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
Delia's gone, one more round, Delia's gone
Delia, oh, Delia, Delia all my life

Chrysler 300
Stefan Hiss

I could have gone to the zoo with Emmy-Lou
To the movies with a lady named Laureen
I could have gone to the beaches with a girl named Peaches
I could have had dinner with Arlene

I could have done all that
But all I wanted was cruising with you
In my Chrysler 300.

I could have ridden with Gwyneth in her 65 Plymouth
With Lisa in her Oldsmobile
I could have ridden with Della in her ivory Impala
With Carla in her Coupé DeVille

I could have done all that
But all I wanted was cruising with you
In my Chrysler 300.

Now the motor is running and Baby looks so stunning
Sitting in my passenger seat
The radio is blaring and everybody’s staring
As we are cruising down the street

I like it like that
Cause all I wanted was cruising with you
Cruising with you
Cruising with you in my Chrysler 300

Am I in love (or am I just hungover?)
Guyton

I woke up this morning on the floor beside my bed
with a drumbeat sounding in my heart and a pounding in my head
I've never seen my face so green or my green eye so red
was it too much booze, the juke joint blues or something worse instead

I wonder am I in love, or am I just hung over
it might be a bit too soon to tell
and is this the dizzyness of romance that I'm feeling
now my poor head is reeling, the walls are falling and the floor is on the ceiling

I spent all night just dreaming and drinking
but it was you that I was thinking of
but there's an empty bottle on my shelf
and so I have to ask myself
Is this another hangover or am I just in love

Am I in love, or am I just hung over,
well, I don't know but I don't feel so well
and that heaven on earth just wasn'?t worth that punishment that I'm taking
now my poor head is aching, my knees are weak and my hands are shaking

I spend all night just drinking and romancing and dancing underneath the stars above
then I woke up on the floor somehow , so I have to wonder now
is this another hangover or am I just in love

My head is spinning quicker and quicker won't someone help me please
is this true love or too much liquor can't tell by the way I'm on my knees
with each passing out my condition seems to worsen
now I'm cursing every single star above
won't those of you that care for me please kindly say a prayer for me
Cause I get over a hangover but I'll still be in love

Delilah
Mason, Reed

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
I could see, that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free

At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore

Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore

Licuado de mamey
Stefan Hiss

Me gusta tomar el chinguirito
y también el pulque de maguey
pero mi brebaje preferido
se llama licuado de mamey

Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey

Te hace poderoso
y te sientes como un rey
es saludable y delicioso
el licuado de mamey

Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey

Tomo siempre lo que quiero
y mi palabra es la ley
Pues invierten su dinero
en licuado de mamey

Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey

De Habana a Santiago
de Mérida a Monterrey
toda la gente quiere un trago
de licuado de mamey

Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey
Licuado de mamey, licuado de mamey

Hawaiian cowboy
Stefan Hiss

A cowboy took a trip to Hawaii
And on a beach one day at Waikiki
He heard a music that was so enchanting
He lost his heart and sang this melody.

I wanna hear you sing my lady
And hear you play your ukulele
I wanna stay here in Hawaii
And learn the wiki, wiki, waiki-woo.

I wanna love you and woo-woo-woo you
I'll stop my ridin', ropin', lopin', everything for you
If you will sing for me my lady
A song of love beneath Hawaiian skies.

(Yodel)

I wanna hear you sing my lady

If you will sing for me my lady
A song of love beneath Hawaiian skies.
