If You've Got an Itch, Scratch it! All Songs Copyright - 2007 Mike Wells & Deer Ridge Music Today I wake up in the morning / to the sunlight on my bed. The songs the birds are singing, / Are dancin’ in my head. Another day she greets me, / A smile goes on my face. I thank you Lord for lettin’ me / Occupy my place, Today. I walk outside my homesite, / Gaze upon the sky Streakin’ whites are all remain / Of airplanes shootin’ by. Another day I wonder / About this torrid pace. Hey, it’s time for intervention, / Got to stop this crazy race, Some way. CHORUS For Today, it builds Tomorrow, Soon, we’ll all be the past. So, in your acts today please remember Your time may come, so try and keep a grasp. Now, I’ve heard about progress, / And, how we’ve got to strive. To build our Tower higher / In order to survive. The only thing that I can think to say about this thought Is that Towers end up on the ground. What goes up, Must come down It’s time to understand where we are bound. \|Today. CHORUS For Today, it builds Tomorrow, Soon, we’ll all be the past. So, in your acts today please remember Your time may come, so try and keep a grasp. FINAL CHORUS The evening comes in glowing rays of purple The stars they wink at me as if to say Your memories are merely fading glimpses Of what you once had done Today. Yeah Today / So live Today. Brown County Livin' Looking back on the brown hilled splendor around Where living’s easy and the feelings of joy abound Where there is: Blue sky with birds winging Friends gathering, people singing People sharing of their time CHORUS Brown county livin’ I miss your good time follies, The friends you brought my way Summer hills of green so vivid on the sky Brown county spring I long to see your smile A new birth from Mother Nature As the seasons turn again, born just to die. Learning living in a land where one can be free In the open fields the beauty of life you will see There’s time for: Building dreamships, holding fish nets Spitting poetry, testing philosophy Searching out your mind CHORUS Brown county livin’ I miss your brown eyed lady The moments that we shared Trying to make it together through the days of life Brown county winter, fill up your hills with snow Gray skies, low clouds, the dark, you know All waiting for the sun to shine Calico’d autumn’s the season when I can be found Walking though the changing colors as the green seems to seep into the ground Where people: Return to see, the show’s for free From Florida, or to be far from the city Back home to living in brown county Brown county livin’ I miss your good time Charlies The friends you brought my way Summer hills of green so vivid on the sky Brown county woman I long to see your eyes dancing Revealing all that’s in you With brown county livin’ make my life complete. Every Time Every time I feel I’ve lost my bearings And I don’t know where to go Every time I feel I’m by myself And my chances seem so low I find you there beside me Helping me find my way I find your hand in mine And I say - Yes, I say CHORUS You are the one that I waited for You were sent to be by me You are the one I will be with Forever more Forever more Every time that I turn my head I see your eyes look back to see Every time my way starts getting easy There’s your heart supporting me I find you all around me Your comforts make my day No words need be said But I say - Yes I say CHORUS Every time I feel my engine racing And I’m pushing it too fast Every time I think there’s one more thing That I have to do to pass I find your quiet soothes me Your smile brings me back around I find my feet firm On the ground - On the ground CHORUS For All Time When the cold winds from the north Blow so severe, Will you still be around Somewhere near With your smiling face, beaming my way Lighting my day. The last few days they’ve been just like a sudden dream, A fairy tale Where you stand as the lady fair And I stand as the knight in shining armor, waiting there For your hand to come to mine CHORUS Oh woman, why do you Enchant me so? And, Why can’t I let my feelings go, And move on? Today I walked around the lake You never left my mind. While walking through the trees I somehow thought of you as mine I had to stop, take a second look. Do dreams really come true? For me? For you? CHORUS Now, woman don’t get scared by all these words I say, For my dreams, perhaps will fade away As clouds do on a wind swept day They scatter in the sky. But, if your heart is telling you The things that mine beats so strong Then let it go on. And my lady, let’s take the time To let our love grow strong this time. Let’s let our love grow for all time For all time, For all time. If You Got An Itch, Scratch It I hear it all the time The noise is getting pretty loud I just gotta take the time And do my thing without the crowd Turn down the noise, Bring up the cool Find a way to make it real Play with my own rules Been standing still too long Gotta get back in the game The fire still burns bright Doesn’t have to be the same Don’t cha feel it? Can’t cha feel it? Don’t it make you jump and twitch You just gotta find a way So that you can scratch that itch If you can think it, you can do it That is what some people say Start thinkin’ bout your dreams And your mind will find a way. Turn up the heat, Bring down the sound, Time is going by DO IT now, don’t wait around Standing still too long? Then, get back in the game. Get your fire burning bright, Doesn’t have to be the same. Don’t cha feel it? Don’t cha feel it? Can’t cha feel it? Don’t it make you jump & twitch You just gotta find a way So that you can scratch that itch Don’t cha feel it? Can’t cha feel it? Don’t it make you jump & twitch You just gotta find the way So that you can scratch that itch CHORUS If you’ve got an itch, scratch it That’s how this story goes Cause, if you don’t scratch that itch Then you’ll never ever never ever know Can’t cha feel it? Don’t it make you jump and twitch? You just gotta find the way, So that you can scratch that itch.

Lead, Follow or get out of the way!! Don’t Cha feel it, Can’t cha feel it You just gotta scratch that itch today He wants to write a book, She wants to see the world, She wants to raise some kids, He wants to shoot the curl. She wants to act on stage, He wants to dance like Fred Astaire, She wants to study science He wants to be a millionaire U can make it happen You can DO IT Just find that itch and scratch it Just Scratch it! Just find that itch and scratch it. Let's Go Home Again more changes They’re crossing my mind. My head is turning ‘round from looking behind. Ahead is tomorrow and A new light has shown. Far from the city now and the Country’s my home. Blue Sky above while on a carpet of green. Harmony around here’s the Tightest I’ve ever seen. For heaven’s the country Come see for yourself When you find Happiness Don’t keep it on the shelf. Sharing is the way Our life was meant to be What’s the good of having anything If it’s had by only me “Your neighbor’s your brother” It’s been said for oh so long. If people’d only listen to this We’d all be as one. Yes,we’d all be as one, Yes, we’d all be as one. We’d be Home, Let’s go Home! REPEAT 1ST VERSE Let's Go Searchin' He says the world is flat And I see it comin’ It’s moving farther and faster Than I want to run. I’ve got to find that pace Where I can breathe easy Where all the rest of my days Are spent looking for fun CHORUS So, let’s go searching, darlin’ Let’s find our piece of the pie. With you it’s so easy, honey With you I think we’ll get by We’re told right from the start To stick to the straight line Make sure that you struggle and Put up a fight But, what if you see your own way And it’s different? Trusting our heart and our mind Well, isn’t that right CHORUS (with you, it’s so easy, baby with you, I know we’ll get by) Remember back in the day We dreamed of tomorrow Of all the new people and places we’d see We didn’t expect all the paths that we followed We didn’t figure the costs, but nothing is free CHORUS Yes, we went searching, darlin’ We found our piece of the pie With you, it was so easy, honey With you, we did more than get by, Yeah! Oooohhhhhhh, we did so much more than get by We did more, we did so much more, we did so much more than got by. Sea Wind Like a fresh sea wind blowin’ down the line She’ll touch your face so gently When you see her walking by your side It starts you thinking that maybe The time is right To talk about tomorrow And what she’s doing about the break of day For when the sunrays rise on all the world still sleeping It’s that moment I would like to know she’s mine Now there’s the times when I’m all alone Those moments seem so peaceful But even when tranquility reigns I start feeling that lady. The time is right To call her up and tell her. I’ve got the time to share, let’s not delay. For time’s a fleeting thing it won’t be ours forever So let’s share what we’ll call ours for today. CHORUS Walking while the sun is shining Moments with her got me smiling Lost in the sweet illusion of feelings, there’s no refusin’ Talking over tea at sunset Fantasies that seem so real yet Finding them just doesn’t matter We have each other, our gentle laughter Now, I’ve seen people locked inside their own walls They won’t let anyone enter Silence bears down hard on their souls Don’t let it take any longer The time is right, Run to her and show her The feelings held within your heart today. For she’ll only know, only when you tell her So take the time to touch her mind today, someway So take the time to touch her mind today, someway So take the time to touch her mind today, someway Sittin' Here Wonderin' Sittin’ here, wonderin’ away Why did you leave Why didn’t you stay? Wonderin’, what I should do Wonderin’, should I follow you Wonderin’, could this really be true? Was sitting all by myself Time wasting away. Then, you came and smiled at me We talked the rest of the day. Now, I’m sittin’ here, wonderin’ away. Why did you leave, Why didn’t you stay? Wonderin’, what I should do. Wonderin’, should I follow you. Wonderin’, could this really be true? Sittin’ here, wonderin’ away I know that I Must make my play. I’m Wonderin’, if I follow you Wonderin’, what you would do Wonderin’, could this really come true. So, I guess I’ll commit myself And take a chance on love. Will you take a chance on me Perhaps with some help from above! Song of a Singer While walking a road of hot tar and gravel I chanced to remember a sweet time gong by When days were as fresh as a new morning dew drop And thoughts were as light as a baby blue sky So clear in my mind, just like a reflection High in the green covered mountains back East Where I met a lady who sang songs so sweetly We’d anxiously wait for the daylight to cease CHORUS Sing lady sing of your sweet dreams of sunshine Sing so we’ll all have a smile on our face Sing lady sing ‘til our feet start to tap and Sing to the sky ‘til the night turns to day Our days were all spent in the warm summer sunshine Swimming in lakes and running through fields Our journeys would lead us to the tops of the mountains Nighttime, the fire’d hear our secrets revealed. CHORUS Sing lady sing of your sweet dreams of sunshine Sing so we’ll all have a smile on our face Sing lady sing ‘til our feet start to tap and Sing to the sky ‘til the night turns to day It’s been a good while since our paths have parted Often I wonder what she’s doing today? The feeling that it all really happened has hit me A remembering feeling that helps me now say. CHORUS Sing lady sing of your sweet dreams of sunshine Sing so that I’ll have a smile on my face Sing lady sing ‘til my feet start to tap and Sing to the sky ‘til the night turns to day They Were Smilin' (In memory of Kevin J. Rembusch) I opened the paper this morning. I saw an old friend was gone I tried so hard to remember When I last saw him, but it was long ago Long ago, the moment was brief Our lives were moving fast those days, with no relief I remember……he was smilin’ Went to the church for the funeral At 10:00 am just like I’d read Was the first church I ever went to I thought those memories were dead. And as I looked around, I saw the children on the playground They were running, playing at recess And I noticed…..they were smilin’ CHORUS What is the reason Why a good man dies so young A friend, a brother He left a daughter and two sons. The loss of a father leaves a hole so hard to fill. But the words he left behind gave lessons they hear still The younger son read from the Bible A passage perfect as could be The elder son walked up to the altar To give the final eulogy And as he talked about, His daddy’s struggles and his glories I saw a tear trickle down his cheek Yet I noticed…..he was smilin’ CHORUS (But the words he left behind told lessons they hear still) Talked with old friends when it was over We laughed about the times gone by A life that’s lived is what’s important To find ourselves before we die And I looked around, I saw we’re older and we’re wiser As the friends and family drove away Couldn’t help but notice…..they were smilin’ Ooooohhhhh, Everyone’s smilin’, Let’s live our lives smilin’ To You My Friend (For Scott Ehlers...wherever you are) Do you remember when we were simple children? Trouble seldom found our door. Now the days are filled with the endless question: What on earth are we for? Let’s understand that working together Seems the only real way To build a mountain, a structure of people The seas of time can’t wash away. CHORUS So my friend, here’s my hand on what I say Let’s have a toast and pass the time. Here’s to you my friend that ‘til my dying day I’ll always say you were a friend of mine You’ll always be a friend of mine Tell me what happens when ahead is now behind? Where do you go from there? Will new dreams take the place of old ones? And, will there be someone who’ll care? CHORUS So my friend here’s my hand on what I say Let’s have a toast and pass the time Here’s to you my friend that ‘til my dying day I’ll always say you were a friend of mine You’ll always be a friend of mine The tracks and traces of what has been before Sure they bring you down sometimes. So, be like the sun and smile on every day And you’ll be a friend of mine CHORUS So my friend here’s my hand on what I say And a toast to pass the time Here’s to you my friend that ‘til my dying day I’ll always say you were a friend of mine You’ll always be a friend of mine. Why Do I Love You? Oooohhhhhh Why do I love you Why do I care I’ve often passed you You act as if I’m not there Notice me, love me Please, please be fair CHORUS I’ve often seen you walking Underneath the summer sun And I realized that you, Were the one Oooohhhhhh I visualize you in my dreams, Laying here while my mind schemes How to win Your love for me But it’s impossible It can never be The sun in your face, The surf rolling in. Splashing at our feet OH! If I could win The life we could have Why can’t you see? Wake Up! Wake Up! Sun is rising, sleepy head Wake Up! Throw back those sheets, Get up, out of bed The sun is up, the day won’t wait. Get up now, before it’s too late. C’mon, and see the white glare glisten on the water top. The breezy, wind-rippled water won’t ever stop It’s another chance for you to see That special place where you can be BRIDGE #1 Time is of no matter, when you sing a happy song So let’s fly, to far-away places where life is new and young. Where dreams have just begun Where people see as one They have confusion on the run But in all this they have time to sing a little song Dee dee dee etc (Sun is rising, and the day’s going by So, get up this morning! Wash that sleep from your eyes) Let’s go, where our dreams lie, my lady friend. Let’s go, where we’re happy, will it ever end? The choice is up to you to make So, come with me, don’t hesitate. Come on, don’t leave me stranded all alone. Come on, tell me your answer I need to know If you want, to come with me But, tell me now, what will it be BRIDGE #2 Don’t look for tomorrow before you’ve found today. Just flow, with the chances and we will make our way. You’ll find the dream is yours, You’ll see the open doors, Where your happy free soul soars. But in all this have time to sing a little song Dee dee dee dee etc. Wake up, Wake up; Wake up, Wake up, WAKE UP!!! (c) 2007 Mike Wells/Deer Ridge Music. All right reserved.
