Blame It On The Full Moon c2010 by Kenny Hines Can I blame it on the full moon? Couldn’t stop thinking of you, all afternoon Summer breeze was blowin’ through my mind & I may have had a little too much wine, so Can I blame it on the full moon? I was trying to plan what move to make next Oops, I’m afraid I might have sent you a text The night’s a little foggy as I wake up today Better check my phone; oh God, what did I say? Can I blame it on the full moon? A full moon always amplifies emotion But I don’t wanna cause a big commotion Can’t take my words back if I already told ya But when he throws you away, I’ll be here to hold ya I did not send you that message; oh, what a relief I didn’t tell you that you stole my heart like a thief I didn’t tell you I’ve got such a maddening crush Or that everything about you makes me want you so much I’ve searched for you for years it seems But as for now, I can only dream Even though you’re with someone else right now I’ll wait as long as it takes to get to you somehow This I swear, on the full moon Can I blame it on the full moon? Can I blame it on the full moon? Can I blame it, blame it on the full moon? Can I blame it, blame it on the full moon?

It’s Snowing In Memphis c2011 by Kenny Hines They play the blues in Memphis; well that ain’t news to me So I headed right on down there, ‘cause that was where I wanted to be It’s the same old story; my baby put me down So there I was in that legendary blues town *(But then) it started snowing in Memphis, while I was still ignorin’ the rain When your love is done, and you got no one, they say the blues can help you deal with the pain But tonight it’s even snowin’ in Memphis, in this old southern town Just like frozen tears that fall without a sound I went to all the hot night spots; they’ve got some spicy ribs & tasty bands I never once thought about Elvis; I just came to escape, but no one understands I don’t care much for jazz, but I can dig those blues when I ain’t in no mood for rock & roll But that girl still flutters through my mind, just like these flakes of snow *(Chorus) guitar {Bridge}: I can’t explain this to anyone, and nobody could explain it to me But there’s something ‘bout snow in Memphis, that makes it seem like I’ll never be free *It’s snowing in Memphis, and I was still ignorin’ the rain When your love is done, and you got no one, they say the blues can help you deal with the pain But tonight it’s even snowin’ in Memphis, in this old southern town Just like frozen tears that fall without a sound

More Than Key West c 2010 Kenny Hines Hey, just thought that I’d try to call Now that I’m back from vacation You’re still on my mind; I had a wonderful time But now I find myself in a funny situation I guess you’re not home I sure wish I was still there ‘cause girl, your smile just made me smile And feel like I didn’t even have a care We kissed in the pool looking over the beach As the steel drums played and we laughed at the heat In the salty summer breeze; now here’s something you won’t believe… I miss you more than I miss Key West Aw woman, that’s hard to do, & that’s sayin’ a lot I miss you more than the ocean; I miss you more than those red sunsets More than the warm sun caressing my body, more than the sand on my feet It’s a pretty crazy thing, I confess But baby – I miss you more than Key West We were jokin’ about the DeeJay Then we toasted to Rock & Roll! & when you put your arms around me I felt something in my soul Remember how the time flew by so quickly Now I might as well be in North Dakota Anyway, I’m not sure what else to say But please call me back… and tell me it’s not over… ((instrumental bridge)) I miss you more than I miss Key West Honey, that’s hard to do, & that’s sayin’ a lot More than the ocean and the red sunsets More than the warm sun caressing my body, more than the sand on my feet Such a crazy thing to say; I only knew you for one perfect day Sorry, I digress – I better hang up the phone I guess It’s a pretty crazy thing, I confess But baby - I miss you more than Key West (3 tags)

Bar & Grill c 2010 by Kenny Hines Some folks come here cuz they live real close Everybody knows their name inside Others may come from way across town Runnin’ from somethin’, just comin’ here to hide Some just go to play darts or pool With their buddies, drink, & have a few laughs Some want someone to talk to, some just go to relax * At your friendly local neighborhood bar & grill Where they drink light beer, then eat burgers & fries, until they get their fill Another crazy night in the circus of life, as long as you can pay the bill At your friendly local neighborhood bar & grill Some just go where the drinks will flow Cuz there’s someone they’re tryin’ to forget Some of them stay on the porch in the back Just smokin’ their cigarettes People might wanna hear a sweet guitar And lose themselves in a song With words tellin’ stories all about their lives As they try to sing along *(repeat Chorus) D…… (Lead Break) We’re laughing with you, crying with you Lookin’ for love like you, and when you’re gone, we miss you So, when you just can’t stand to be at home alone again, that’s just the time to drop by Cuz there’s strength in numbers; you don’t even need to know why! (Repeat Chorus) {Coda:} Well you can look for a thrill if you’ve got time to kill And it’s better than your own still ! At your friendly local neighborhood bar & grill !

“She Sings” c2006 Kenny Hines Lots of girls are sexy Lots of girls are cute Lots of ladies look real good in a bathing suit Some of them are clever And some can make you laugh Very few can make you think Of followin’ a different path * Why do I care ‘bout her? There’s so many things She’s all that, but most of all… I love the way she - sings Sings to me In the key of “G” Her voice paints a smile on my heart And soothes my savage mind So I tell myself don’t rush through life, take one step at a time She expresses her thoughts and feelings With a strength and tenderness & no one knows what the future holds, But at least I can tell you this… ** (chorus) <Bridge:> She reminds me why it’s good to be on earth If there’s no poetry in your life, then tell me, what’s it really worth? ** (repeat chorus)

“FINALLY FREE” c2012 by Kenny Hines All of her reasons were incomprehensible Her false accusations, reprehensible Her misconceptions were indefensible Her twisted perceptions were so nonsensical Oh oh oh oh – now I finally see Oh oh oh yeah – now I’m finally free So, gone is the love that I thought had such potential She knew my offenses were unintentional I’ve come to my senses, though I’m oh so sensual ‘Cuz her frozen heart is so quintessential (chorus) lead guitar break (bridge:) So she & I can never be If only I could get that through to me All of my feelings were inconsequential Even though my passion was torrential And all my pain was confidential ‘Till she put the con in the word consentual She used me in a way that was so unusual She stopped caring; now the feeling is mutual (chorus)

Sometimes c2008 Kenny Hines With the glitter & sparkles, and stars in my eyes I tripped over my heart; what a big surprise! Fell right off the cliff, heard the grim reaper callin’ And with no parachute, I was just free fallin’ • Sometimes somethin’ bad turns out for the best • And if you go far enough to the east, you’ll end up in the west When I hit the water, I lost my breath I was drownin’ in deep blues, and close to death But I washed up on the shore, and onto the sand Now I’m lyin’ in the sun with a Mai Tai in my hand! * ((chorus)) {bridge} -- Sun’s always gotta set, before the break of day And she had to leave me before you could come my way.. * ((chorus)))

How Bout You? c 2008 Kenny Hines I’m still waitin’ … for the one But just how long will she take? I wonder!

Baby, what can I do? Why can’t I find who I should give my love to? Hey, baby, how ‘bout you? I keep wonderin’ where I’m gonna find her It’s about to drive me outta my mind Am I going to the right places? But just there at all the wrong times? (prechorus/chorus) Here I am! (GUITAR) chorus

After Christmas Song Sitting by the flickering fireplace I’m taking down my Christmas tree Each ornament comes down, one by one There’s a lot of beauty on it It’s not just the shiny colors I see Each ornament holds a cherished memory Well, there’s glass hearts and crystal angels The colored balls reflect a happy glow Things that remind us of a simpler time of Magical Christmases, long ago So, although some things have changed They may be gone, but we’re still here And all that we can do is try to have a happy … a happy new year Well, there’s little bears, & little drums Little guitars and little rummy-tum-tums The glitter-covered pinecones I made as a boy scout The silver bird’s for my Grandma Yes, I know that she’s long gone But her smile, & tender spirit still lives on, no doubt One says “Peace”, for my high school friend, Jack He joined the Army & never came back Wish he was here to talk to me today I’d love to hear what he might have to say *(Chorus) (BRIDGE): This one reminds me to keep on believin’ What Jesus taught, & why we love this season The biggest thing of all may be The tiny nativity scene, right in front of the tree Ceramic Santa smiles at me And in the back of my mind I see What a super Santa my Daddy was back then The scent of Mama’s cookin’ filled the air We were so blessed, me, my sister, Mom & Dad I miss that feeling, oh what sweet times we had But these golden music notes, engraved with words of love From my soul-mate angel, forever keep this dove Now she’s got a happy family It’s just how I pictured it… except it’s without me Yeah, those days are over now They’re all gone, but I’m still here And all that I can do is try To have a happy - a happy new year Happy new year Cheers Let’s have a happy new year

Well, give me faith That you’re gonna hold my hand & give me wisdom That I may understand Give me patience With myself If I can’t live up to my own rules, what can I expect from someone else? • That’s what I’m prayin’ for • Can’t you hear me prayin’ Lord? { So now I close my eyes, and open up my spirit… and I’ll listen for your voice right now; I’m tryin’ hard to hear it………….} Give US hope Release us from the past Give us peace – inside our hearts A calmness that can last Give us courage When we feel weak Give us the will To stand back up - on our own 2 feet • That’s what I’m prayin’ 4 • Can you hear me prayin’ Lord?
