Home
(Music by Rogue Johnsen, Mark Saurs - Words by Rogue Johnsen)
I’d
love to see your smiling face, smiling at my place
Baby don’t you want to go; don’t you even want to know,
Why I’d think you’d go to anyplace I know
I can take you where you’ll leave behind your cares
I’ve been down ten-thousand roads: never found a real home;
The one thing I’ve been lookin for,
is something it seems that everybody knows:
A place that I can go, where I can call my own:
leave behind your cares, and I will take you there
I live to see your smiling face, smiling from my place
Baby don’t you want to go; don’t you even want to know,
Just why I’d think you’d go to anyplace I know:
I can take you where you’ll leave behind your cares
That’s my home…Home…
With You Gone
(Music by Rogue Johnsen, Mark Saurs, Lance Foster - Words by Rogue
Johnsen)
Well, baby with you gone, you’re gonna be on my mind.
When you’re leaving out that door,
why’s it always seem so forevermore?
You’re gonna worry me blind, on my mind
And when you’re standing all dressed in moonlight,
Why’s your face so pale and your voice so ghostlike?
Baby, you’re gonna really worry me,
Worry me blind, and you’re on my mind
Well, with you gone, you’re gonna worry me blind
And your on my mind. You’ll be on my mind…
In This World
(Copyright Rogue Johnsen)
Said I know when my life, I know when my life is going to hell
And I know in my mind, I know in my mind that I never will;
Yeah, but out on the streets baby, that’s such a hard place
to fall
Ain’t no one, no one gonna hear you girl,
not even if you call and call and call
And there’s nowhere to go, but straight ahead...
Just keep on, keep on going straight ahead.
Baby I tried to reach you: you wouldn’t even answer my calls
That’s after you said I should try to get through to you
even if I had to crawlAnd there’s nowhere to go,
but straight ahead...keep on going straight ahead.
New Highway Song
(Music by Rogue Johnsen, Mark Saurs - Words by Rogue Johnsen)
On the highway and my lonesome and troubled ?nding my way home.
My Golden Chromium of Sunrise, you never made me feel alone.
And on my own I know, You’re the One I’m headed for
I’ve charted memories to warn me And keep me from the wrong
controls. Commemorations
of the moments when we ?rst started letting go.
And I everywhere I go, You’re the One who leads me home.
On the highway and my lonesome, I’m stumbling ?nding my way
home.
My bold chrysanthemum of sunshine, you never regulate your love!
And on my own I know, You’re the One I’m always for
And anywhere I go, you’re the One who leads me home
On the highway and my lonesome ...
My Blue Soul
(Music by Rogue Johnsen, Mike Dutton, Mark Saurs - Words by Rogue
Johnsen)
When you’re feeling low, and life’s so out of your control,
Just shine a light down inside, down into your soul.
And if I’m on the road, feeling so all alone,
I close my eyes and I think of you,
and the thought brings me back home.
All my life I‘ve been running from wrong to right
Tunneling into darkness; stumbling into light
Well it takes some real faith just to make it through the night
And I’m headed back to you to win my prize
And I’m feeling low and life’s so out of your control:
Close your eyes, go down inside,Down in your blue soul
All my life I’ve been headed towards tonight
All the tribulations that kept me up ’til light...
This path is so familiar, this trouble’s nothing new,
I can make it with my eyes closed all my way back home to you
When I’m feeling low, and feeling so all alone, I just close
my eyes,
go on down inside, down into my soul
Even on your own, you’re never all alone.
In the darkest storm, that light can lead you home.
Sometimes you close your eyes, if you want to see the light,
Go on down in your blue soul. Down in your blue soul …
Trouble Blues
(Words and Arrangement by Charles Brown)
So many days since you went away I’d often thought of you
each night and day
Someday, someday my darling I won't be trouble no more
Trouble, trouble and this misery. It’s about to get the best
of me
Someday, someday my darling I won't be trouble no more
I told you my story, I sung my song About you leaving, you know
that's wrong
Bye bye; bye bye my darling, you know I won't be trouble no more
Ain’t Got Nothing To Do With the Blues
(Music by Rogue Johnsen - Words by Rogue Johnsen, Shiela Dee)
Ever since I was nine, I been taking my time leaning into rhythms
and making 'em mine
I don't need a critic to know what it's like: acting authentic
is a waste of time.
Nineteen I was out on the scene, Dallas to the West Coast and
back to D.C.
"Get a job," Daddy said; Momma said “?nd a good
woman:”
That’s the only reasons for the trouble I'm in.
You better believe me, ?rst it’s got to please me, from the
top of my head to my shoes,
No matter what I do, it ain't got nothing to do with the Blues...
Ain’t got nothing to do with the Blues…The Blues is
the thing I’ve been trying to lose
East Coast, West Coast, down into the Gulf Shores. Up until the
morning light, working it
out. Uptown, downtown, everywhere around; ten thousand mornings
without a doubt.
Looking for music everywhere anywhere, down country roads on a
midnight prayer.
The only consistent from beginning to end: Music's been with me
like it’s my best-friend.
Better believe me, ?rst it’s got to please me from the top
of my head to my shoes,
No matter what I do, it ain't got nothing to do with the Blues...
Ain’t got nothing to do with the Blues… The Blues is
the thing I’ve been trying to lose
Wake Up Late
(Rogue Johnsen)
Wake up late, decide my fate, drink my coffee and straighten the
shades
I’m out too early, and now the sun is shining bright.
Babe, I’m making no haste in taking my time.
I’m going down to the river, take my ?shing line
Underneath the willow down by the riverside
I’m gonna take along my juice and take my smoke and pipe
I’ll take it easy baby…I’ll be waking up late by
the river side
Wake up late, decide my fate, drink my co?ee and straighten the
shades
I’m out too early, and now the sun is shining bright.
Babe, I’m making no haste in taking my time.
I’ll take it easy baby, easy…I’m waking up late
by the river side ...
Walking
(Music by Rogue Johnsen, Mark Saurs - Words by Rogue Johnsen)
Walking all the way home, and I’m feeling, I’m feeling
almost done.
My sight’s set on it’s destination; I’m walking
like I want to run.
Even though I’m moving slow, here I come
Home, that’s where I want to be. Home, that’s the only
place I ever sleep.
I can feel my woman there waiting. When I get home this time,
I don’t think I’ll ever leave.
Take me back about as fast as I can back home (I’m coming
home)
Walking all the way home, talking to myself ‘cause it makes
me feel not so all alone
I can feel my woman there waiting. Walking like I want to run.
Even though I’m moving slow, baby I’m almost home (yeah
baby, I’m almost home)
Down the Line
(Music by Rogue Johnsen, Mark Saurs - Words by Rogue Johnsen)
My baby makes me happy just because it makes her glad, She never
makes me think about,
all the times or the things I might have had (they don't even
lean on my mind).
Woman gives me one more reason that I keep on moving down the
line.
Early in the morning ‘til late into the night. She’s
my inspiration, lead me on, lead me on.
Baby leans on my mind. That woman gives me one more reason
that I keep on moving down the line.
I make my baby happy just because it makes me glad. I never make
her think about,
think about, all the things she might have and all the times she
might have had,
I try to not make those lean on her mind
You know that woman gives me one more reason that I can keep on
moving down the line.
That woman gives me one more reason that I can keep on moving
down the line.
Midnight Prayer
(Copyright Rogue Johnsen)
I’d never known how much longing I could do Till the very
?rst time I ever looked at you
Now every day when my work is through Before I say a single prayer
for me,
I will say my prayers for you:
To keep the human wolves at bay And warm you in the frozen rain;
To help you each and every day just to ease you from the pain
Ease you from the past, baby I pray your sorrow’s never last,
That your friends will never let you down, And that our love always
lasts
I’d never known how much loving I could do Till the very
?rst time I got a hold of you
Now every day before my work is through Right before I say a single
prayer for me,
I will say my prayers for you
To keep the human wolves at bay And to warm you in the frozen
rain
To help you each and every day - to ease you from the pain
To ease you from the past, baby I pray your sorrow’s over
fast,
That your friends will never let you down, And that our love,
our love will always last
