Back seat drivers
Give me lip
I ain’t goin’
Take their shit
‘cause it’s my life
My way
I drive
My life
My way
I drive
My life
My way
I drive
People tell me
I’m wastin’ time
These blues won’t pay me
One thin dime
But it’s my life
My way
I drive
My life
My way
I drive
My life
My way
I drive
Find a juke joint
Tune guitar
Play it loud when
The drummer starts
My life
My way
I drive
My life
My way
I drive
My life
My way
I drive

Stand Up

Be strong
Yes, I know you can
I know that you’re in a jam
But you can handle your problems
You’re strong you’ll handle your problems
And I know how life can make you want to lie down
But you’ve got to stand up
Stand up
Stand up
No cash, hardly pay the bills
Bad love, such a bitter pill
But you can handle your problems
You’re strong you’ll handle your problems
And there’s nothing that’s new, that someone hasn’t faced before you
So you’ve got to stand up
Stand up
Stand up
Your friends are here for you
Your friends are here for you
Your friends are here for you
So just stand up, stand up

You’ve had all you can stand
Can’t stand no more
So I’ll leave my keys here on the table
And I’ll hit the door
You’re sure I’m a dog, girl
And I just can’t stay
Baby, can’t you see
You’re throwin’ a good man away
You’re sure I must be cheatin’
It just ain’t true
I’ve tried to prove my case
But I can’t get through
You’re sure I’m a dog
And I just can’t stay
Baby, can’t you see
You’re throwin’ a good man away
So I’ll go stay with friends
And I hope you’ll cool down
If you wake up in the morning
And you wish I was ‘round
Just give me a call
And here’s what I’ll say
Baby, can’t you see
You’re throwin’ a good man away

I believe my best days are somewhere up ahead
And though I’d sure like to rest, I must move along instead
I have travelled dead ends that got me nowhere slow
But the road I’m on now goes where I want to go
And where it goes
I’ll have a woman’s love
And work that make’s me whole
Instead of eating at my soul
I’ll make a hundred friends
We’ll believe each other’s lies
And I will never say or hear goodbyes
And this song is my prayer in my own private faith
That though the shadows are long that is not too late
That it is not too late
Never too late
And this song is my prayer in my own private faith

Fight

That man’s the boss because he’s from the right school (x2)
But the man has less sense than a mule
I’ve gotta fight ‘cause the man won’t give (x2)
He thinks I’m nothing’, I’m gonna show him how it really is
Can’t go around him ‘cause he’s blocking the way (x2)
There’s no choice but to smash his blockade
Repeat Chorus
I bet that you know a man like this, too
And I hope that you’ll do like I do
I hope that you’ll fight (x3)
That man may think you’re nothin’, you gotta show him how it really is
You’ve gotta fight ‘cause the man won’t give (x2)
That man may think you’re nothin’, you gotta show him how it really is

Like that first big hill on the roller coaster, that’s how I feel when I’m with you (x2)
I feel the bottom droppin’ out beneath me, from just a whiff of your perfume
Love your long black hair and your slender waist, girl, and I love your super model legs (x2)
But you’re keeping all the rest a secret, and I’ve gotta see the rest
Don’t let it fade, no, the roller coaster feeling, let’s make it last for all our lives(x2)
And girl you’ve got me giving up control, but I swear I love the ride

Let’s take a look at us, must be lessons in our pain (x2)
I’m over that we’re over, and this ain’t about the blame
I want my next love to be my best love (x2)
And the mistakes from then, I won’t make again
Yes, I play these blues, and, yes, I’m never home (x2)
Imagine my surprise that you can’t stand one night alone
I want my next love to be my best love (x2)
I’ll tell you where I think we went wrong, and you can help me judge
I want my next love to be my best love (x2)
I’ve told you where I think we went wrong, and now you be the judge

Superior woman
Queen to your pawn
Posterior swingin’
Like a can’t touch-it-taunt
Superior Boulevard
Street she live on
Superior woman
Always want more
Exterior dressed up
Like the Saks Fifth store
Superior maintenance
You can’t afford
Superior woman
Like luxury mink
Interior’s heaven
And heaven is pink
She don’t know Ray Davies
But she sure loves the kink

I believe it’s a choice
And here’s what I choose
I choose to be young
I choose to be young
If I live to be a hundred and three
My fun won’t be done
My music is loud
I wear t-shirts and jeans
I choose to be young
I choose to be young
If I live to be a hundred and three
My fun won’t be done
Don’t sit in your chair
Let down your hair
And choose to be young
Yes, choose to be young
If you live to be a hundred and three
Your fun won’t be done

Well, I know when I’m gone
You get to feeling so alone
You say “hey” to the backdoor man
It takes a wink and then a nod
Maybe a drink, a little prod
You think it’s nothin’ just a one night stand
But it’s not nothin’, it’s somethin’
Something bustin’ me like flood waters through a dam
You ain’t even been discrete
So I could just choose not to know
You paint the town with my so-called friends
I hear the jokes behind my back
I feel provoked, how ‘bout some tact
You think it’s nothin’ to be with them
But it’s not nothin’, it’s somethin’
Somethin’ bustin’ me like flood waters through a dam
I know that you have needs
I do my best to always fill them
It’s like a slap that I’m not enough
I will not share you with the boys
No, I declare I’ve made a choice
That there is nothin’, nothin’ left of us
But all this nothin’, sure feels like somethin’
Somethin’ bustin’ me like flood waters through a dam

The Juke Hounds Akron, Ohio
The Juke Hounds share an attitude-- a Midwestern grit that makes them relate to the blues and to each
other.
The music, the lyrics and even the bands’ aggressive stage presence, announce they are a force to be reckoned with.
Brittany Nader of Buzzbin Magazine agrees that when the Juke Hounds start to play,
“it’s impossible not to get up and start shaking along to the rhythm of each tune
