One Night Crush
By: Christopher Bosca
Verse
Carolina,
Memories of friends
Springsteen was
The reign-ing king
We all headed south to
The beach that year.
Sun and the sea, and
A tangle of hair
Chorus
My heart remembers
that one night crush
Hardly a kiss, not really
much.
My heart remembers
that one night crush
I remember
Friends everywhere
A big old house on stilts,
Wood-smoke in the air.
Firelight and the
Stars above
I could guess what you were
Thinking of
Chorus
Bridge
How did we miss it
passing in the halls?
Was it the homework, or
That always boyfriend?
A brilliant smile and a
brush of your skin
The names went first,
And the faces faded next
Verse
Carolina,
Memories of friends
Now it’s all gone and
you’re married with kids
I hardly even wonder what
might have been.
But do you do, just like I
sometimes do?
Chorus/outro
Do you remember, that one
night crush?
Just a kiss
Not very much
Do you remember that one
Night crush?
But does yours do, just like my
Summer heart does?
Do you remember, that one
Night crush?
Do you remember that one
night crush?

The Hell I Done
Christopher Bosca
Verse
My feet are on the floorboards
Of the old wooden porch
The grass and fields are wet with dew,
Summer bugs are still up too
Gravel rattles in my wheels
Nothin’s how it ought to feel
The motions of every day make me feel
Dead as I drive away from that old homestead
Verse
No light from the window
No comfort from it's glow
I hit third gear as I cross the road
I don’t know where to go
Standing in the day’s first light
I been awake all damned night
Shield my eyes from the burning sun.
Where’d I even find that old rusty gun?
Chorus
I feel the stubble of my beard
Waitress talks, but I haven’t heard
Hope you have a real fine day
I think she’s asking if I’m OK
This has not been a good
Godforsaken day.
- - - Wondering
What the hell I've done?
Verse- Instrumental
Verse
He was a big man in the county
Took the team to states back in ‘90
Choices made years ago.
All I did was work and keep my head low
I was a man in the middle ever
Since I as a kid
But she loved me- or I thought she did
How could it be that a guy like me, would end up on the run?
Verse
They’ll miss me down at the mill today
Won’t call the house till the next I’d say
How long was that going on?
Had to be impulse gone wrong
We didn’t argue, we didn’t fight,
But walking in that room last night
I never meant hurt anyone, not ‘till I saw
Red, in a rage with an old rusty gun
Chorus
Shufflin’ around the Stop 'N Shop
Eating candy bars and soda pop
Guy there’s looking like he knows
Telling me it's time to go.
This has not been a good
Godforsaken day.
Wondering
What the hell I done?
Verse- Instrumental
Outro
My feet are on the floorboards
Of the old wooden porch
I'm standing there again
Trying to hear what she is saying
She's calling me back
But then it’s all turning black.
I’ll have to run or use the gun either way I'll
die wondering
what the hell I done.
what the hell I done.
what the hell I done.

Coast Road
By Christopher Bosca
verse
Driving down that
Old coast road
So so long ago
Little fishing towns
Along the way
That we passed by
that day .
Big grey clouds hangin’
Down to the ground but the
Sun was
Breakin’ through.
And from way out on the that
Point up there
We looked back
To where we’d been
Chorus.
Hesitation,
Meditation
Habits hold our lives
At bay….
Find a course that you want
To walk and
Start off on your way.
Don’t loose your say
In the day-to-day.
Verse
Highway signs and
Queen Ann’s lace
The side of the road
And the look on your face
Chinese to go
We’re back in the flow
Melting into
The dream
Narrow staircase
Bare wood on my feet
You looking at me
From out on the street
Take me by the hand
Pull my feet from the sand
Oh God
Don’t let me go
Chorus/outro
Time goes by…

Used Stuff
By Christopher Bosca
Verse
Used Stuff in the corner
That I have not quite thrown away.
Is piling up around me
Like dishes, dishes from yesterday.
The time that I had
Has mostly slipped away
I held it in my fingers
But I could not, could not make it stay
Chorus:
Oh… I’m sinkin’ here
Somebody throw me a line.
I was going along
Every thing was fine
“Till I looked around.
looked around
Oh… I’m sinkin’ here
Somebody throw me a line.
I was going along
Every thing was fine
‘Till I looked around, looked
around behind.
Verse
Has time caught up to me
Or can I stand up to it all
Try as I might, I still cant’ see
Where the chips are, chips are ‘gonna fall.
Now every day’s a race with time
Not a minute to rest or lose
Get something done before I’m gone
Is all that’s left, all that’s left to choose.
Chorus
Bridge
I will make it right
I’m here to fight the fight
I may be hurt but I’ll never give up
“Til I’m six feet, six feet in the
dirt.
Verse
Used stuff on the road I’ve walked
Like litter in the ditch
Thought I was doing alright
Must have been some, been some
Turn I missed
Chorus/End
Oh, I’m sinkin’ here
Somebody throw me a line
I’m going back to save what I can
I’m gonna live another live another…
Oh, I’m sinkin’ here
Somebody throw me a line
I’m going back to save what I can
I’m gone live another, live another
I’m going back to save what I can
I’m going to live another, live another…
