American Twang
Words & Music: Steven Wells
Drunk Mosquitoes BMI 2010
Climb aboard there’s no time to waste
Right on the beat we’re on the case
You want more? We’ll give you a taste
Here's a little somethin’ comin' your way
So raise your glasses high as the decibels fly
We’re gettin’ down ‘n dirty with American twang
Gettin’ down ‘n dirty with American twang
Ya know we’re all creatures of the night
Where only the strong will survive
So stick to your guns ‘n hold on real tight
Better get ready for one hell of a ride
And raise your glasses high as the decibels fly
We’re gettin’ down ‘n dirty with American twang
Gettin’ down ‘n dirty with American twang
Well it may be hard for some to swallow
But we promise it won’t leave ya hollow
Though you might not remember it tomorrow
You gotta lead get out the way or follow
And raise your glasses high as the decibels fly
We’re gettin’ down ‘n dirty with American twang
Gettin’ down ‘n dirty with American twang
We’re gettin’ down ‘n dirty
Gettin’ down ‘n dirty
Gettin’ down ‘n dirty with American twang

Drunk Mosquitoes BMI 2011
If ya dance with your devils you’ll go down in flames
Unless you heed these words we say
So pay the price bring your friends
‘N we’ll wash away all your dirty little sins
Cos’ all ya gotta do is believe…
Fall down on your knees…
Ask and ye shall receive…
We’re havin’ us a rock ‘n roll revival
Singin’ verse from a honky tonk bible
Preachin’ a bit of that rhythm & blues
We’re gonna rock the hell outta you
Wanna go to heaven better listen up
We’re bangin’ ‘n twangin’ righteous stuff
We may be crucified savin’ your souls
But we’ve all been baptized in agave gold
Now all ya gotta do is believe…
Fall down on your knees…
Ask and ye shall receive…

Singin’ verse from a honky tonk bible
Preachin’ a bit of that rhythm & blues

Singin’ verse from a honky tonk bible
Preachin’ a bit of that rhythm & blues
We gonna rock the hell outta you
We gonna rock the hell outta you
We gonna rock away all your blues

Keep On Pourin’ (Till I Say When)
Words & Music: Steven Wells
Drunk Mosquitoes BMI 2010
Keep on pouring till’ I say when
Cuz sometimes ya know ya just can’t win
And God’s too busy to care if I sin
So Keep on pouring till’ I say when
Straight up It’s time to kick a few back
Cool down with something in a tall glass
Fell off this wagon ‘n landed under the wheels
Can’t breathe ‘n chest is getting tighter
As smoke ring halo’s rise up from the fire
Slow dancing to a lonely pedal steel
So keep on pouring till’ I say when
Cuz sometimes ya know ya just can’t win
And God’s too busy to care if I sin
So keep on pouring till’ I say when
Life is a long walk on a short pier
Weatherman says it’s gonna be clear
I think the forecast is callin’ for rain
Hell hounds are barkin’ outside the door
Face down but feelin’ like I need one more
No pain no gain, least that’s what they say
So keep on pouring till’ I say when
Cuz sometimes ya know ya just can’t win
And God’s too busy to care if I sin
So keep on pouring till’ I say when
Keep on pouring till’ I say when
Cuz sometimes ya know ya just can’t win
And God’s too busy to care if I sin
So keep on pouring till’ I say…
Keep on pouring till’ I say when
Cuz sometimes ya know ya just can’t win
And God’s too busy to care if I sin
So keep on pouring till’ I say
Keep on pouring till’ I say
Keep on pouring till’ I say when

Gasoline Alley
Words & Music: Steven Wells
Drunk Mosquitoes BMI 2011
They’re bellowing ash from their smoke stack religion
Black as Folgers coffee ‘n straight from hell’s kitchen
Chokin’ on the exhaustive syllables ‘n sounds
And exhale a sigh as I roll my eyes around
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
But this barren stretch of highway is littered with their wreckage
As their shadow reads like poetry rotting at your feet
Pollute the atmosphere and the air that we all breathe, can’t you see if you…
Cut across gasoline alley, cut across find your way
Cut across gasoline alley, that’s where salvation Dsus2 reigns
Cut across gasoline alley, cut across save your life
Cut across gasoline alley, that’s where salvation lies
The moon floats like a pearl in a sky as black as ink
Like a lonely flare that cuts the night above a blacktop sea
As the buzzards start circlin’ right above your head
Cos’ there ain’t no signs of life they’ll even take you dead, so check your head … before you…
Cut across gasoline alley, cut across find your way
Cut across gasoline alley, that’s where salvation reigns
Cut across gasoline alley, cut across save your life
Cut across gasoline alley, that’s where salvation lies
Salvation lies

Hey Bartender
Words & Music: Steven Wells
Drunk Mosquitoes BMI 2010
It’s a shame, shame, ain’t it a pity, we lost ourselves somewhere along the way
So we say hey, hey bartender, pour us a river to wash our sins away
We’re a twisted and torn bunch of vagabonds
Soakin’ our bones in this rusty graveyard
Just trying to kill our demons & heal our scars
Smilin’ a grin like a Cheshire cat
Howlin’ at the moon ‘n runnin’ with the pack
Sooner or later our train gon’ run off track
And It’s a shame, shame, ain’t it a pity, we lost ourselves somewhere along the way
So we say hey, hey bartender, pour us a river to wash our sins away
Well it’s so damn hard to catch our breath
When our mouths are dry from cigarette ash
And the words we try to speak rise and fall flat
So lets get together ‘n brew a wicked spell
Then we could run for cover to the edge of hell
It’s so damn close we could hear all our friends yell
And it’s a shame, shame, ain’t it a pity, we lost ourselves somewhere along the way
So we say hey, hey bartender, pour us a river to wash our sins away
It’s a shame, shame, ain’t it a pity, we lost ourselves somewhere along the way
So we say hey, hey bartender, pour us a river to wash our sins away
Shame, Shame, ain’t it a pity!

End Of My Rope
Words & Music: Steven Wells
Drunk Mosquitoes BMI 2011
I toss ‘n turn can’t get no sleep ‘n keep risin’ to the ghost in my head
Down in a hole yeah I’m sick for the cure I light a smoke cos’ I got it real bad
It makes me shiver ‘n it makes me shake I got chills up ‘n down my spine
They say salvation comes to those in need but I’ve never been the prayin’ kind, but
Oh Lordy feelin’ mighty stoned
Danglin’ down at the end of my rope
Send me an angel come save my soul
Danglin’ down at the end of my-y-y, end of my rope
Shot down with fever that’s burnin’ me up I hear the devil he’s laughin’ at me
I swallow the sun it burns my blood but I just can’t let it bleed
I’m hangin’ on by a thread and the hope that tomorrow’ll be a better day
They say salvation comes to those in need but I’ve never had allot of faith, but…
Oh Lordy feelin’ mighty stoned
Danglin’ down at the end of my rope
Send me an angel come save my soul
Danglin’ down at the end of my-y-y, end of my rope
Oh Lordy feelin’ mighty stoned
Danglin’ down at the end of my rope
Send me an angel come save my soul
Danglin’ down at the end of my rope
Oh Lordy feelin’ mighty stoned
Danglin’ down at the end of my rope
Send me an angel come save my soul
Danglin’ down at the end of my-y-y, end of my rope
End of my-y-y, end of my rope
End of my-y-y, end of my rope

Drunk Like Me
Words & Music: Steven Wells
Drunk Mosquitoes BMI © 2011
Last night I ran into Jeckyl ‘n Hyde
They gave me a potion ‘n told me sweet lies
Then I woke up this mornin’ in the lost & found
Grabbed some cold pizza washed down with warm beer
Stubbled outside to get my head clear
I think I got a touch of what’s goin’ round
I got beer on my boots got a tear in my eye
Gettin’ dirty looks ‘n I don’t know why
Anyone would fall in love with a drunk like me
Could anyone fall in love with a drunk like me?
Somebody call me a doctor find me a cure
Cuz my heart is poundin’ ‘n my liver hurts
But let me tell ya what I have figured out
I like tequila cold with salt ‘n lime
Beer is best when it’s cheap ‘n light
Served up with a soundtrack by Ghostowne
I got beer on my boots got a tear in my eye
Gettin’ dirty looks ‘n I don’t know why
Anyone would fall in love with a drunk like me
Could anyone fall in love with a drunk like me?
Grabbed some cold pizza washed down with warm beer
Stubbled outside to get my head clear
Think I got a touch of what’s goin’ round
So call me a doctor gotta find me a cure
Cuz my heart is poundin’ ‘n my liver hurts
But let me tell ya what I have figured out
I got beer on my boots got a tear in my eye
Gettin’ dirty looks ‘n I don’t know why
Anyone would fall in love with a drunk like me
Could anyone fall in love with a drunk like me?
Could anyone fall in love?
Could anyone fall in love?
Could anyone fall in love with a drunk like me?

Let Sleepin’ Dogs Lie
Words & Music: Steven Wells
Drunk Mosquitoes BMI 2011
Up to my neck in the desert sand the air’s so hot that it just might crack
Dehydrated ‘n my lips are chapped feels like I’m drownin’ on dry land
Love is thicker than blood and I know we’ll stand as one
So ya betta get ready for one hell of a fight
Ya shoulda let them sleeping dogs lie
Come hell or high-water it’s the end of the line
Shoulda let them sleepin’, shoulda let them sleepin’ dogs lie
There’s a storm brewin’ n’ it’s movin’ fast better run for cover ‘n watch my ass
Baptism of fire in the workin’ class feels like I’m drownin’ on dry land
Love is thicker than blood and I know we’ll stand as one
So ya betta get ready for one hell of a fight
Ya shoulda let them sleeping dogs lie
Come hell or high-water it’s the end of the line
Shoulda let them sleepin’, ya shoulda let them sleepin’ dogs lie
Shoulda let them sleepin’, ya shoulda let them sleepin’ dogs lie
Like an animal that’s been caught in a trap there’s no escaping that deadly grasp
So damn funny I forgot to laugh and it feels like I’m drownin’ on dry land
Love is thicker than blood and I know we’ll stand as one
So ya betta get ready for one hell of a fight
Ya shoulda let them sleeping dogs lie
Come hell or high-water it’s the end of the line
Ya shoulda let them sleepin’, shoulda let them sleepin’ dogs lie
Ya shoulda let them sleepin’, shoulda let them sleepin’ dogs lie
Shoulda let them sleepin’, shoulda let them sleepin’ lie

Your soul’s so pure it glows
Selfless and wonderful

Cos’ the angels sent you down from above
To guide and shelter all of us
And they’re sayin’ great job kid, well done

Touched by a love devine
Kindness behind those eyes
Laughter filled days ‘n nights

And they’re sayin’ great job kid, well done
Now we’re callin’ you home
