ALL I’VE EVER WANTED TO DO
Words & Music by Rob Bender Creative Group Published by Bender Creative Group, BMI copyright 2017
I’m not asking you to fall in love
There’s only one thing I’m thinking of to do
And that’s get next to you
I just want to hear you talk your talk
Be beside you when you walk your walk it’s true
That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do baby
From the moment we met
You had something that I hadn’t seen yet
Did you turn your head or maybe something you said
Can’t explain it but since that time
Bein’ close is all I’ve ever wanted to do
It’s kind of crazy feeling this way
I’m like a kid who wants to play with you
It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do
Said that you’ve had a taste of bad times
And now you read between the lines
What you lost is long since dead and gone
But somewhere I know the sun is still shining
Just might find your silver lining
I’ll stand beside you when you look and see
Baby baby take a look and see
Baby baby take a look with me
All I ever wanted to do go for good times
Now come on sugar don’t you walk away
When you know I just want to stay with you
That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do
From the moment we met
You had something that I hadn’t seen yet
Did you turn your head or maybe something you said
I can’t explain it but since that time
Bein’ close is all I’ve ever wanted to do
Don’t you know that it’s true
It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do
Just to get next to you
It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do

Ooh Ma!
Words and music by Rob Bender
Published by Bender Creative Group, BMI copyright 2017
Ooh ma they done threw me down a smokestack
can’t see no light
Ooh ma still got their boots on my back now
and it don’t seem right
Sitting on barstool drinkin’ like a fish
with a fly in my hair
Ooh ma somebody done me wrong now
I ain’t going nowhere
Ooh ma something stickin’ in my side now
puttin’ me in a bind
Ooh ma I got suckered in big time
snuck up from behind
Maybe that explains the chokin’ in my throat n’
all the pain from inside
Ooh ma somebody done me wrong now
and I’m startin’ to slide - bye- bye
Ooh ma I can feel something crawlin’
all down the back of my neck
Ooh ma now I’m back to where I started
I and feel like a wreck
Don’t wanna cause a scene but they ruffled up
my sideburns and that done crosses the line
Ooh ma I hear voices in my head now
they don’t sound like mine

BIRDS FLY AWAY
Words & Music by Rob Bender Creative Group Published by Bender Creative Group, BMI copyright 2017
I’m taking a trip
To a tropical zone
Where rivers flow
Into parts unknown
Leavin’ this town
Escaping control
Breaking away
Before I lose my soul
Birds fly away fast and free
Birds fly away so why don’t we
I’ll fly away to rediscover me
Birds fly away when danger nears
Birds fly away we all have fears
I’ll fly away before my cage appears
They’re calling me back
That’s what they do
To keep on digging that hole
Right next to you
It’s a balancing act
Up here on a wire
Beyond their words
But not their fire

DAYLIGHT
Words & Music by Rob Bender Creative Group Published by Bender Creative Group, BMI copyright 2017
Daylight on the water
Daylight in the air
Daylight, in those eyes lying here, don’t disappear
Just like a friend I’ve always known calling me home…calling
I’m gonna give my heart to that woman she’s a part of my life
The song that I’m singing but didn’t realize
She can hold back the shadows burn the storm clouds away
Shine through the darkness turn night into day
All of her lovin’
All of her love
She gives all of her love
She give me all her love
Daylight on the water
Daylight in the air
Daylight leave empty dreams and memories that used to be
I’m here & now wanting more can’t ignore…calling
Yes I’m gonna give my heart to that woman
She’s a part of my life
She’s the song that I’m singing but didn’t realize
She can hold back the shadows
Burn the storm clouds away
Shine through the darkness
Turn night into day
Now that I’ve found her I will follow
Give my heart to that woman she’s a part of my life
I hear the song that she’s singing but didn’t realize
Now that I found her the flame’s burnin’ bright
now that I found her and I’m beside her an open flame there
Cause the feel of her lovin’ is like daylight
All of her lovin’
I get all of her love
She gives all of her love
I give you all of my love
Daylight make it all right make it all right

SAINTS & SINNERS
Words & Music by Rob Bender Creative Group Published by Bender Creative Group, BMI copyright 2017
Fare thee well saints & sinners
Whose bright lights have all gone dim
Fall down into the darkness
Say a prayer now won’t you sing a hymn
Take me down to the water
Face the deep out on my own
My trials and tribulations
Are spinning wheels that I will soon disown
Now life ain’t no paradise
I fall down at each new bend but I won’t
Hope for that which cannot be attained
I accept who I am
Bullhorn preacher on the corner
Distorting hope for those despaired
Die you might go to heaven
You can’t see it but they swears it’s there
So fare the well saints and sinners
Heed the book drink the wine
I feel the wind is calling
Bet your life we won’t be here that long
Been a long and dusty road
I’ve had my share of sun
Long shadows cross the table now
Call your cards this game’s done
It all went by so fast
It’s like a blur the times we had
Some were good and some were bad
And I would like to think
There’s more to come but it’s not either/or
Sure would like another pore
Nothing much that we can do
About the past it’s dead and gone
It comes and goes each new dawn
But here’s to friends who had my back
When I was up against the wall
Who gave me strength broke my fall
And I’ll put my faith in those
Who give their love and don’t pretend
To know what’s best for me in the end
And though we slip away
Our love has wings it’s here to stay
So say hello to hear and now
Let’s have another
We’ll all be brothers
And maybe buy some more time
Bring on the encore
Sure love to dance more
And taste another wine
Run out the back door
That’s what it’s there for
Make sure you take your sweet time
I’m just believing
What I’m receiving
But I wouldn’t call it a sign
