It’s All Your Fault

It’s All Your Fault
Song Written and Performed by John Richter, 2015

I like the way you look tonight
Dressed up baby, so nice and tight…
And got me thinking when was
the first time I saw you in
that moonlight….

You know I was like Frankenstein baby
just bouncing off those walls
I needed that lightning
to start my heart
And that’s what you did
You started my heart
So it’s all your fault

And now I’m just left here wondering
why you’re dressed up so fine tonight
You’re stepping out with that other guy
Tell me what happened Darling
‘Cause my heart’s still going, yeah
Yes it is
It’s all your fault.

Pebbles

There is a pebble in my shoe…
I like it there.
It could have been a bumble bee,
so let’s just agree that would suck.
Unless you like bumble-bees –
then that wouldn’t suck as much.
But it would still suck a little.
But I wouldn’t complain.
Because I love you.

I just hope you like pebbles too.
‘Cause that’s what’s in my shoe…..

Tennessee Sparrow (2)

A tribute to Loretta Lynn
Song Written and performed by John Richter, 2012

A Tennessee Sparrow in the trees
Singing her sweet melodies
Loving life’s memories
Little things like these

A coal miner’s daughter
Cold nights, laying next to Mama,
Papa’s drillin’ holes
in the deep belows
Only the Moon knows – her drama

And on she grew
while life circled her feet
The Moon came too
Made her love complete

Now a child rests her head
Listens to the sparrow sing
A song of Life, she said,
“My Mama’s everything…”

Heavens Gates: Open!
Release the doves!
Life’s not about her
It’s about who she loves

So when you hear the sparrows’ song
and you feel like singing along
and your heart feels like it belongs
To a Tennessee so strong…

Love her.
For that is what she is.
