"RICOCHET RACER" © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas Welcome to Ricochet Racer Please make sure your seat belts are securely fastened, Keep your hands in the car at all times, and remain seated until you have come to a complete stop Enjoy the ride... You take me up With the mornin' sun It's been a long time gone But you know you're Still the one Fire engine red Burnin' up the day I'll put it on down the line If you take me all the way Bring it on back Take it on back Bring it on back You bring me 'round With the mid-day sun You try to hold me down But I always come undone Got streamline speed Cuts like a knife Down to the chase And right on through The neon lights Bring it on back Take it on back Bring it on back (Chorus) Ricochet Racer You're a time eraser There's a job to be done And you are the only one Ricochet Racer, sweet memory chaser Life me up when I'm down and get me on the rebound You drop me down with the evening sun Like a shot heard 'round the world from a loaded shot gun Chrome finished steel up around the bend I'll buy a non-stop pass if you take through the end Bring it on back Take it on back Bring it on back (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat Chorus) "YOU'RE A TEENAGE RUNAWAY" © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas You know I noticed you Dropped out of summer school Right before you woulda Made it through Just barely seventeen And chasin' all your dreams Someday they'll see you On the silver screen Did what you said you would Moved out to Hollywood Gatherin' all the courage That you could With your guitar in tow And nothing else to show You took your chance to see How far you'd go (Chorus) And everything's gonna be OK Cuz you're a teenage runaway The sun'll shine down every day Cuz you're a teenage runaway So now you spend your day Playin' for some pay Down at the Sunset Boulevard arcade And your nights are filled With California thrills Earning tips to barely pay the bills Just keep yourself on track Cuz there's no lookin' back No matter how you think the deck is stacked No matter what it takes I know you'll find your way To the spotlight up on center stage (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat Chorus) "VINYL ON VINYL" © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas Hey Rockers You know I'm missing you so much Stayin' up all night 'Til the morning light with you Well the radio station don't play my favorite songs And all the advertisements keep going on and on And I don't need nobody tryin' to tell me what I wanna hear (Chorus) Vinyl on vinyl Stackin' the tracks It's been so long and it takes me back Vinyl on vinyl Song after song I can't tell you how it turns me on Hey Rollers You know I'm missing you so much With my headphones on 'Til the break of dawn with you Well now Joan Jett loves rock and roll And the Go-Go's got the beat AC/DC's back in black And Shaun Cassidy's so sweet And The Bay City Rollers like to spell it all out for me (Chorus) Hey rock and rollers You know I'm missing you so much With the moon and stars Drums and guitars and you Well now CD's are OK But they change 'em every day With remastered this and that And added special bonus tracks But if it ain't broken then it really don't need to be fixed (Chorus) X2 "FONZIE DOLL" © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas Sometimes I dress him up in leather Other times in lace A little bit of KISS make-up On his plastic face Tucked in his left back pocket Is a little comb But his hair just looks so good that He leaves it alone He gets doll action a-plenty In the parking lot Now Ken & Barbie are jealous Both think that he's hot (Chorus) Take a look at my Fonzie Doll For a little guy he's got a whole lotta style Take a look at my Fonzie Doll He can melt your heart with his perfect smile He stays up all night long now Sittin' in the dark Just thinkin' 'bout his motorcycle And jumpin' over sharks Always gotta act really cool Like a rebel should But underneath his plastic shell he just Wants to be good I try to make him play the guitar Sometimes the drums But he's just too stiff to keep the beat up And he's just all thumbs (Repeat Chorus) We've been together such a long time He makes my life so sublime He's still in mint condition Still got the box that he came in Why' n' cha come on over and see (Repeat Chorus) "AIR GUITARIN' © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas (Chorus) Well I'm addicted to air guitarin' All the time I'm superstarin' In the mirror, air guitarin' One night in '77 A lightening bolt struck from heaven It came out of my brand new speakers Through my heart and out my sneakers Zapped me with a new delusion Trapped me in my own confusion (Chorus) My guitar's the hottest around I play it all over my town It's an Epiphone Black Beauty It was custom made just for me But none of my friends believe it 'Cuz I'm the only one who see's it (Repeat Chorus) I know all the fastest solos There aren't any that I don't know I'm always getting air blisters From keeping up with my transistor But I will do whatever it takes To play without making air mistakes (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat Chorus) "KINDA SORTA WANT 'CHA" © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas I kinda sorta want 'cha and your silver whistle dreams Just tell me when to stop and go if you know what I mean I'm drownin' in a pool of sorrow much to my shagrin C'mon and throw your life preserver and pull me closer in (Chorus) You're probly never gonna know How I kinda sorta want 'cha so Ever since the day I saw you callin' out my name I knew you'd be the one who would be drivin' me insane I know I'd swim a thousand miles just to get to you And master any stroke you teach me across the ocean blue (Chorus) C'mon and gimme private instruction, lay all your love on me I wanna be your champion not just part of the team I try to get 'cha off my mind but nothin' does the trick So for now I'll have to pretend that I don't wanna give a lick (Chorus) "PICK-UP TRUCK NIGHTS" © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas Everybody's got a reason Nobody seems to have the time Everything's a competition Nothing's worth a dime Everybody's fallin' in line Nobody does what they wanna do Everything is worth debating Nothing follows through (Chorus) I remember pick-up truck nights Ridin' out of the day The stars fillin' up up the empty sky Lightin' my way I remember the summer breeze Rolling over my skin Shaggin' my hair down into my eyes And everywhere I went Everybody lives with worry Nobody wants to let it be Everything is systematic Nothing's guaranteed Everybody's got a schedule Nobody just wants to hang around Everything is calculated Nothing's said out loud (Repeat chorus) Life is so much better when you take the time to ride So climb on up and take the empty seat here by my side Gimme back my pick-up truck nights Ride me out of today I'll watch the stars fillin' up the empty sky Lightin' my way I'm longing for that summer breeze Rolling over my skin Shaggin' my hair down into my eyes And everywhere I went "ALL-AMERICAN" © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas Everything about him is All-American Spirit flying free and soarin' high Starry eyed dreams In white striped sunbeams He could never change even if he tried Everywhere he goes is All-American Tearin' up the country at top speed Shooting star nights In striped pattern flight Nowhere else on earth he'd rather be He's All-American or nothin' at all He believes in number one by taking the fall He's All-American or nothin' at all He believes in number one by riskin' it all "My name is Evel Knievel. I'm a professional daredevil." Everything he owns is All-American Custom made from patriotic hands Stars up the sleeves Stripes down the seems Showin' off his pride anyway he can He's All-American or nothin' at all He believes in all for one and one for all "FASTER" © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas I was rollin' before I could walk And it always felt so good to me I could fly on by all those good kids And leave 'em where they oughtta be Not that I'm a bit older right now I still seem to be movin' right along Goin' 'round with my feet off the ground And I know it's right where I belong (Chorus) 'Cuz I wanna go faster and faster No matter what I'm after Faster and faster I was runnin' all over the place When I was just a teenage young one I made that time go flyin' on by Livin' it up and always havin' fun Fast forward just a couple of years And I'm still out there hittin' the streets You can find me just a pushin' the pace And always keepin' up the beat (Repeat Chorus) Never gonna slow down Never gonna relax Never gonna be calm Never gonna look back (X4) (Repeat Chorus) "TAKE A STAND FOR ROCK 'N ROLL" © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas Take a stand for rock'n roll It don't matter how you do it Just lift yourself on up It's time for you to move it Come on in Don't be shy Can't let that rock 'n roll pass you by 'Cuz if you don't do something now There's no doubt you're gonna lose it Let's do it 'til we get it right You know it's worth the fight Get'cher money off the net And put it back into the jukebox Hit on up your favorite song the one that's gonna make you rock Roll it up Lay it down And let that rhythm bring you back around We'll all stuck here in a rut Let's go back and give it a shot Let's do it 'til we get it right And make the sparks ignite Stop listening to crap that's polluting up the airwaves Don't watch those tv shows that give music a bad name Listen up Shut 'em down Drive those wanna be's outta town Rock 'n roll is here to stay Don't take it any other way Let's do it 'til we get it right And knock it outta sight "NEVER GROWIN' UP" © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas Gummi bears, amusement parks Summer drive-ins after dark Oh I, I'm never growin' up Poprocks and roller skates Rock and roll concert dates Oh I, I'm never growin' up I'm older than I used to be But that don't mean a thing to me I sorta knew right from the start I'd always be young at heart Comic books and Atari Nick at Night and MTV Oh I, I'm never growin' up Snare drums and Hershey bars Cartoons and loud guitars Oh I, I'm never growin' up Space Invaders, Brady Bunch KISS dolls, Hawaiian punch Oh I, I'm never growin' up Record stores and Disney flicks Cold pizza morning fix Oh I, I'm never growin' up I'm older than I used to be But that don't mean a thing to me Age is just a number that I ain't gonna use to hold me back Marching to a different beat Down my own one way street And I, I'm never growin' up 'Cuz all the things I loved before Keep knockin' at my door So I, I'm never growin' up "(HEY) BEAUTIFUL BIKER" © 2009, Johnathan DeHaas Dispatch this is 7-Mary-3.
