©2013 Wild Moose Music (BMI)
(I):
Hell Yes -- I'm gonna make my mark
Hell Yes -- You're gonna know my name
Hell Yes -- Gonna drive right out'a the dark
Into the flame
Can you guess?
Ah, Hell Yes!
(II):
Hell Yes -- Better gather up them boys
Hell Yes -- We're gonna turn this town around
Hell Yes -- Together we gonna make some noise
Don't turn us down
Cuz if I had to guess?
Ah, Hell Yes!
(Bridge):
Everybody's gonna know me
When everybody's on my side
All the world is gonna show me
All the love it's been tryin' so hard to hide
(III):
Hell Yes -- Make way we're comin' through
Hell Yes -- Can't stop me now
Hell Yes -- Gonna make 'em all come true
Don't ask me how
But if I had to guess?

Did You Think I Didn't Know
Music & Lyrics by Dallas Doctor
©2016 Wild Moose Music (BMI)
(I):
Did You Think I Didn't Know
He'd be calling?
Did You Think I Didn't Know
The day would come, he'd stop and stare?
Did You Think I Didn't Know
You'd be waiting?
Or did you think I didn't care?
(Chorus):
When you kissed him, ... (Did You Think I didn't ..)
Soft and slow, ... (Did You Think I didn't ..)
When you missed him,
Did You Think I Didn't Know?
When you let him, ... (Did You Think Ididn't ..)
Touch you there, ... (Did You Think I didn't ..)
When you met him,
Did you think I didn't care?
(II):
Did You Think I Didn't Know
You were searchin'?
Did You Think I Didn't Know
That I never had a prayer?
Did You Think I Didn't Know
How much you wanted?
Or did you think I didn't care?
(Repeat Chorus):
(Bridge 1):
Why would I,
Want to hold you down?
Why would I,
Want to cheat you out of what you found?
Why would I,
Want to keep you chained to only me?
I don't want you chained,
I want you free!
(Repeat verse 1):
(Bridge 2):
Just know that it's not easy,
When it's true,
That the far, far better thing,
That any man could ever do,
For the one he loves the most,
Is to make himself a ghost.
Not because I don't;
Because I do.
(Repeat Verse 2):
(Repeat Chorus):
(Tag):
Did you think I didn't care?
Did you think I didn't care?
Did you think I didn't care?

Bye Bye Baby
Music and Lyrics by Dallas Doctor
©2010 Wild Moose Music (BMI)
(Chorus):
Bye Bye Baby
I'm not like the other guys
Don't be surprised
When I finally fly
Bye Bye Baby
Someday you'll realize
I'm not like the other guys
Baby Bye Bye
(I):
I don't expect you to get it
I don't expect you to try
I always knew you would lay down and let it
So don't expect me to cry .. (Chorus)
(II):
I don't expect you to wonder
I don't expect you to think
I always knew it would come out from under
So don't expect me to blink ... when I say .. (Chorus)
(Bridge):
So tell yourself whatever you want to
But tell yourself - don't reply
You gotta live with yourself, girl you got to
But I don't
So I won't
Baby Bye Bye
Bye Bye Baby
(III):
I don't expect you to suffer
I don't expect you to pay
I always knew you would not even offer
So don't expect me to stay .. (Chorus)

You Put the Beat in The Beatles
Music & Lyrics by Dallas Doctor
©2017 Wild Moose Music (BMI)
(I):
From that tiny little cellar
Down in Hayman’s Green
To that attic up in the Reeperbahn baby
I wish I'd seen what you've seen
Yeah there were Caverns
And there were taverns
You and your mates out playing shows
Oh how you gonna through it
... Nobody knows …
(Chorus):
You put the Beat in The Beatles
They put your feet on the street
You had watch the world roll by
From a ring-side-seat
And that had to be hard —
— er than anybody could have guessed
You Put the Beat in The Beatles
Cuz Baby you're the Best
(II):
You played your parts
You paid your dues
So when your rock and roll dreams
Reverted back to the blues
Oh that must'a been a nightmare
It must'a made you wanna cry
Why me, Oh Lord, Why me
They never told you why
(III):
But look atchya now
Look atchya shine
I don’t know how
But you turned out fine
Oh that had to be hard
Cuz who knows what you’ve been through
Nobody Knows …
Nobody but you!

Guaranteed to Bleed
(Music & Lyrics by Dallas Doctor)
©2012 Wild Moose Music (BMI)
(I)
In my Bleeding Madras shirt
And button-fly 501s
I stepped out on the stage
My journey had begun
I sang “World Without Love”
Made her turn her head
The prettiest girl in the room
Turned to me and said: (She said:)
(Chorus)
You’ll never get everything you want
You already have all that you need
If you get lucky, there’ll be moments of magic
But you’re .. Guaranteed to Bleed!
(II)
Sometimes to get along
It's tempting not to say it
He saw it on the setlist
Told us not to play it
We couldn't get permission
He told us to obey
But it was "Blowin' in the Wind"
So we played it anyway - (Chorus)
(III)
So we set out on the road
With our songs to see the world
We didn’t see much
But we sure did see some girls
Nights under the lights
Playin’ loud and keepin’ score
If I could do it different
I’d only do it more … (But) – [Chorus]:
(Bridge);
There will be stones unturned
There will be songs unsung
There will be promises broken
And deeds undone
There will be bitter disappointments
And dreams overdue
We rarely recognize 'em
When they do come true
(IV)
Now my bleeding Madras shirt
It's hangin’ on the wall
Between the miles and the memories
The ones that I recall
But I remember what she said
Her words of wisdom came to pass
Tonight to all you dreamers
I’ll raise my glass (.. and say.. ) [Chorus]:

Crazy Things People Say
Music & Lyrics by Dallas Doctor
©2014 Wild Moose Music (BMI)
(I):
You introduce the lady
You say she's your queen
You should be embarrassed
Who made you the king?
You tell me your religion
Put's the man at the head
Put down those scriptures
Do some thinkin' instead
I shake my head and turn away in dismay
When I hear the kinds of Crazy Things People Say.
(Chorus):
You shunt'a spoken
Man, you're broken
What's that shit you're smokin'
You must be jokin'
I shake my head and turn away in dismay
When I hear the kinds of Crazy Things People Say.
(II):
Everything happens
For a reason, you imply
There's a magic master-plan
With a scoreboard in the sky
You got your angels, your demons
Your devils, and such
What are you so afraid of
That you need such a crutch
I shake my head and turn away in dismay
When I hear the kinds of Crazy Things People Say.
(Repeat Chorus):
(Bridge):
Am I supposed to pretend you're not completely inane?
Am I supposed to pretend that what you're sayin' is sane?
Am I supposed to pretend you're not stupid and scarred?
Don't want to disrespect you, but you're makin' it hard.
(III):
Thirty-seven go down
Only two come up alive
Praising God, who liked 'em better
Than the other thirty-five
You say it's a miracle
But Baby, you're weak
The miracle would be
If you could think before you speak
I shake my head and turn away in dismay
When I hear the kinds of Crazy Things People Say.
(Repeat Chorus, but with bubbles replacing the third line) ...

We’re All In This Together
Music & Lyrics by Dallas Doctor
©2010 Wild Moose Music (BMI)
(Chorus):
We’re all in this together
We got a one-way ticket on the third rock from the sun
So since we’re all in this for better, .. or whatever ..
How ‘bout we just get over it -
And have some fun!
(I):
We don’t have to agree,
But we don’t have to be enemies!
We don’t have to hang out,
But we don’t have to quarrel and shout!
(Chorus):
(II):
We don’t have to cuddle and coo,
But we don’t have to hullabaloo!
We don’t have to love-at-first-sight,
But we don’t have to fight!
(Chorus):
(Bridge):
What’s so funny ‘bout shinin’ a light?
And where did we go so wrong?
What’s so hard about getting’ it right?
.. Lookin’ out for each other – and getting’ along?
(Chorus B):
We’re all in this together
We got a one-way ticket on the third rock from the sun
So since we’re all in this for better, .. or whatever ..
How ‘bout we just get over it -
And get along!
(III):
We don’t have to march arm-in-arm,
But we don’t have to sound the alarm.
We don’t have to see eye-to-eye,
But we don’t have to condemn and deny!
(Chorus):
(Tag):
How ‘bout we just get over it -
And have some fun!
How ‘bout we just get over it -
And get along!

For Carma
Music & Lyrics by Dallas Doctor
©2010 Wild Moose Music (BMI)
(Chorus):
I know
You're waiting for me
To return to the fold
The way you wish it could be
But Carma you know
I just can't pretend
And so, as you know, I let go
Of my imaginary friend
(I):
You gave me this heart
And these eyes, and this brain
You gave me my start
I'm only tryin' to explain
I promise I never intended
To cause you this pain
When I opened my heart
And my mind, and my eyes
And turned to the truth
From superstition and lies
I can tell there's a part
Deep inside of your heart .. that just dies ... and ...
(Repeat Chorus):
(II):
Chasin' these dreams
That I set out to find
I can go to extremes
That's the way I'm inclined
And sometimes, it seems
To you, I'm sure, that I'm out of my mind
I know that you worry
Over where I belong
But consider you may
Have that part of me wrong
What you perceive as my weakness
Is what makes me strong .. cuz ..
(Repeat Chorus):
