Voice Of Love
Kenneth Ray West
2-14-93
11:35pm
Leaves blowing in the wind
I feel the sun against my skin
I know somethings gonna change
See blue skys up above
It was you I was thinking of
Then you hear the voice of love
And I hear the voice of love
There is music in the city
There is laughter in the country
I know somethings pleasing my heart
I can hear the voice of love
funny but I don't even know who you are
I can hear the voice of love
Dancing all around, Walls falling down
Somebody's playing a game
Precious time is lost don't you see the cost
If you lose it you'll have only you to blame
I can hear the voice of love I can hear the voice of love
I can't get enough It's you I was thinking of
When I hear the voice of love
When I hear the voice of Love calling me
When I hear the voice of Love calling me
Thought I heard a distant sound Then I stopped and turned around
And there you stood in the light
Though I know I had never seen you
But as if I had dreamed you
took my hand and I felt alright alright

REd Sun
Kenneth RAy West
A red Sun setting in a western sky
A blue heart beating but I don't know why
Feel I want to cry, Feel I want to die
So I say Goodbye
This lonely road reaches into the distant Horizon so far away
Broken lines run together in my mind and become a vision
Thinking of another day, The life I knew so long ago
But that was another time
Was it you or was it me that said
Our Love would grow
And the light would shine until the end of time
and we were both very old
But I guess nothing ever lives in the icy chills
of a winter so cold.
And the dreams we shared and the things we dared
Adn the secrets we spoke in the night
Are in the rearview mirror, inthe past far away out of sight
The sun is gone darkness all around me now
The gentle glow of the next little town
Wish I could stop and turn my life around
But I know I'm bound
The Day I Left Memphis
Brian West
7/28/2014
The Day I left Memphis
Was the day I got the Blues
Yeah The day I left Memphis,
was the Day I got the Blues,
Now I'm back Home,
I get the same thing from you..
and it keeps on raining
everyday, Misery
Yeah it keeps on raining
pouring down misery
If you don't love me or want me around
tell me now and I'll
sure be happy to leave.
Now I done left my home
working three jobs too
bought all that you asked for
now you wanna sell my guitar too
20 Mile Bottom
words & music by Brian F. West 3/09/2002
There's a barefooted black boy
runnin cross 20 mile bottom
There's a barefooted black boy
runnin cross 20 mile bottom
Hounds of Hell are on his trail
and Lord knows the poor boy ain't done nothing
With that sheriffs jail you'd run yourself
if you were in his shoes
With that sheriffs jail you'd run yourself
if you were in his shoes
Cause Life ain't long
with the Parchman Prison blues
and That blistering heat is burning deep down
that blistering heat is burnign deep down
way the grounds cracked open
devil can't be too far under now
Lord have mercy on the ones that ain't done no wrong
Lord have mercy on the one's that ain't done no wrong
free them so they don't need to sing these old blues songs
But don't worry friend, He's all you need
cause He's the only one only one
will ever set you free
Too Many Tears In Mississippi
By James Pirkle & Kenneth Ray West
Kirby Publishing (BMI)
© 2016
Lost my woman in Mississippi
Down around Tupeloå
Broke my heart in so many pieces
Didn't know a man could sink so low
Followed her up to Memphis
Tears Fallin everyday
By the time I got to Clarksdale
They said son, go another way
You Cried so much in Mississippi
You probably didn't even know
Donn around Greenville, son
The river done over flowed
Too many tears in Mississippi
Too many tears in Mississippi son
Too many tears in Mississippi
Don't you come around here no more
Shake Rag
by Brian West
Hey Boy, Down Yonder
What we used to call Shake Rag
Hey Boy, Down Yonder
What We used to call Shake Rag
Well I guess you don't remember

Cause a row of Shotgun houses
is all that used to stand
and everyone was called trash on the
east side of the track
that was was Ok, we had each other
and our Bible's in our hands..
Ain't done no wrong at all,
but they treated us like dogs
when you down in Shake Rag
you ain't got no chance at all.

King of Rock n Rolls still making the news

Girl from Iloilo
by Brian F. West
(c) 2014, TakeWest Music (ASCAP)
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
From California to the Carolinas
Chicago, Memphis Tennessee
New York to Texas
I followed her all the Mississippi
San Francisco
to San Jose
Barcelona
All the way to Spain
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
I’m waiting for her now everyday,
Playing guitar till the sun goes away
by the side of the road, Silver Moon Cafe
I pray she hears me sing and play
I’m here in Kalibo
cause she ran away
One thousand tears,
But I know she hears me
cause she rides by everyday
She’s just afraid of love,
of being hurt,
happy and lonely,
what words of love can say
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
(lead)
She’s got a basket of flowers
I got my guitar
She knows she’s got my heart
how this old world
could be our start
Underneath these mountains and sunsets
blue, green, purple and pink
she wonders,
what a life of love could bring
and I said beautiful girl underneath the stars
which ones the most
you know I think you are
beautiful girl underneath the stars
which ones the most
you know I think you are
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
The girl from Iloilo is so beautiful
Recovery Room
by Brian West
9-25-2014
It's up on Green Street
Up on the hill
Little tiny pool hall
behind lightnin slims
A lady behind the bar
finest thang named Daisy Star
Says tell me all yo problems
come to mama child
In the Recovery Room
Ain't no tears
That I can't fix for you
In the Recovery Room
Honey I sho can fix the blues
(lead)
Now I like to see her
a little every now and then
Saturday nights, Tuesdays back on FRiday again
Cause Mondays so hard, Thursdays worse
Wed got no help help from friends
And sometimes, on Sunday
Afternoon after church
For chicken and a slice of apple pie, I stop by
I open the door slowly
pitch my hat in
hat didn't come back
that means come on in
my friend
chorus
keyboard lead
Now I'm doing better, doing OK
Just a few long years
to get over you
outta here and on my way soon
soon as I, get over this young thang
behind the bar, helping me get over my blues

Barstool in Barstow
by Brian F. West & Steve Christian
(2000)
Chorus
On a Barstool in Barstow
is when I got the call
She wouldn't be common home
and she was gonna leave me all alone
I mean I'd just walked out the door
From Bakersfield, just a few hours before
She seemed good to go
with me going for a visit
back home to Tupelo
But Just near the pass
started calling and hanging up
I knew she was burning up
and getting some kinda awful mad
asked, Do you love me or Music
you gonna have to choose it
Well now hon if that's the case
you're gonna lose it
(chorus)
Honey you ain't the first
I knew you probably wouldn't be the last
cause love like yours
go through love real fast
and I'm OK
lota miles, a few dings, but doin fine today
cigaretts, a cold beer and table of pool ready to play
I'm back in Barstow
where I play, sing and say
(chorus)
One More I Love You Dear
by Brian F. West
2011
She drives to work
every morning with the radio on
and everytime she hears
their favorite song
She remembers everything
can see him everywhere
Stil feels him near
like he's standing there
chorus
One More hug
Just one more kiss, touch of his hand
touching her hair
To wipe away the tears
Just one more, I love you dear
But it's been three years
he never came home
they never found him
all they said is that we just don't know
I love you, I'll be back in your arms
In a minute, our loves forever strong
She cries when she tries to sleep
praying one day that phone will ring
that burning feeling
in her heart the pains so deep
Where is he, is he ever coming home
the hardest part is when you just don't know
half her heart, could be forever gone
there's always that hope
one day, he'll be coming home
chorus

Mississippi Man
By Brian F. West
2014
Now I came on up to Chicago
I heard ya cry and whine, shout and complain on stage
bout some man didn't treat you right
and you upset, up all night
hungry in the morning cause
didn't have no love all night..
hungry in the morning
cause you didn't have no loving all night
I understand woman.. but what you need
is Mississippi Man to treat you right.
(lead)
See a Mississippi Man
hold you not too soft and not to tight
a spoonful of love
a little at a time all night.
That way you won't be lonely
protected and there'll never be no harm
and nocrying in the morning
cause you'll still be in my arms..
and when you wake up..
open those beautiful eyes
honey it's what ever you need
start you with a kiss and hug
and the warmest little squeeze
Then what you want
just say the word
cause a woman like you

You're the kind that makes a man's work day a breeze
bringing you home the money
with you
Chicago woman you're all that at Mississippi Man needs..
Now I liked yo stockings
I liked the way you sing
I loved your music
and the way you shook that thang
loved the way you walk
loved the way you talked
but I'm gonna make you change your tune
and the songs you sing
rock you in my arms
with some loving like you ain't never seen
I'm a Mississippi Man

Chicago woman

Chicago woman

and get the preacher to say Amen

Singing out of those Shacks

Wait a little longer by your loving man
Gonna play this guitar and set us free
And one day we’ll be singing how it used to be

World’s Apart
Across The Sea
Remembering the Day
There became
You and Me
Abegail I can never tell
How much you mean to me
How Deep You are In my heart
Girl can’t you see
I’m so happy you love me
Where I went I never wanted to go
But if I hadn’t I never would have known
The most beautiful girl in the world
Now sitting in my home
A December’s Eve
A lonely winter’s snow
A Call in March
I found you in Spring
Abegail I can never tell
How much you mean to mean
How Deep You are In my heart
Girl can’t you see
I’m so happy you love me
Now I’m singing this
Cause you asked for a song
But you’re the one
Where the words come from
On this Valentines Day
My love you for you
Is more than words can ever say

Oh Florida lady with your long brown hair
Oh Florida lady want you to know that I care
From Key West to Pensacola and all points in between
My Florida lady prettiest girl I’ve ever seen
You came to work down at the factory where I slave
You have to work oh so hard just to earn your wage
Your smile is just as pretty as an oyster’s pearl
Oh Florida Lady won’t you please be my girl
OH Florida Lady with your long brown hair
Oh Florida Lady want you to know that I care
From Key West to Pensacola and all points in between
My Florida Lady prettiest girl I ever seen
(lead)
You must have a heart that’s made of pure gold
And like the Panama City sun your eyes are never cold
You’ve been a friend to me for a long long time
Oh Florida Lady won’t you please be mine

Oh Florida lady want you to know that I care
From Key West to Pensacola and all points in between

Walking down my happy road
We’ll sing all the songs that we know
I put my arms around you
Whisper in my your ears how much I love you
Just walking down my happy road
Just walking down my happy road
Pick any flower you happen to see
Lay in the grass if that’s where you want to be
We’ll never have time to feel sad
After all the fun that we have had
Just walking down my happy road
Just walking down my happy road
And there’s never a cloud in my sky
And you’ll never never have to cry
On my happy road
Just walking down my happy road
Just walking down my happy road
Now when the night has come along
You can hear the cricket sing a song
And your kisses taste so sweet
When our lips begin to meet
Oh my happy happy road
Just walking down my happy road
Just walking down my happy road
Just walking down my happy road
And we’ll love under the star sprinkled sky
And I’ll never never say goodbye
To you my love
Just walking down my happy road
Just walking down my happy road
Just walking down my happy road
Just walking down my happy
road
Hold Me Tight Renee
© 1977 Kenneth Ray West, Kirby Publishing (BMI)
I never knew, a girl like you
In all my life until the day I die
I never kissed such lips so warm such tender loving arms
I never felt such sweet sensations pulling me beyond
In this world please hold me tight Renee
I need you this way
Some days seem so hard to face
Living in this world is such a chase
But when troubles close in on me from a thousand different ways
And just when tears begin to fall and everything’s a haze
Please hold me tight Renee
I need you to say, That you love me
(lead)
But when troubles close in on me from a thousand different ways
And just when tears begin to fall and everything’s a haze
Please hold me tight Renee
Please hold me tight Renee
Please hold me tight Renee
I need you to stay

My Strawberry Dream
By Kenneth Ray West
© 1977, 2016 Kirby Publishing (BMI)
You came to me
With love in your eye
But I never could describe
All the love I felt for you deep inside
You put your arms around me, and then you kissed me
Oh woman I love you, woman I need you
My Strawberry Dream
But you went away, The very next day
You said you had to return, to your home,
So far away, so far away
So I wrote you a letter, Hoping for the better
Hoping you’d come back to stay
My Strawberry Dream
You know my hearts, been crying
For such a long time
To be near you
You hold the key, to the treasure
Oh, for the pleasure
You know I still love you
My Strawberry Dream
You came to me
With love in your eye
But I never could describe
All the feelings I had for you deep inside
But you went away, The very next day
You said you had to return, to your home,
So far away, so far away
So I wrote you a letter, Hoping for the better
Hoping you’d come back to stay

Number One
By James Pirkle
© 2001 TakeWest Music (ASCAP)
I tried to make you happy
But you just won’t be true
I know you’ll never love me, no matter what I do
So it’s down to deal or no deal
And have I got a deal for you
If I can’t be your number one
Then number two on you
If I can’t be your number one, number two on you
You stay out all night long and I don’t know with who?
You ripped my heart right out of my chest
and stomped it with a high heel shoe
Now if I can’t be your number one then number two on you
I once felt like a lucky man to have you by my side
Now you say your love for me has shriveled up and died
You left me a broken man with the low down dirty blues
So I can’t be your number one then number two on you
Yeah if I can’t be your number one then number two on you
You stay out all night long and I don’t know with who
You ripped my heart right out of my chest and stomped it with a high heel shoe
Now if I can’t be your number one then number two on you
(lead)
You know that I still love you, but you treat me like a fool
You think that I don’t know what’s going on with you
You make me feel like a big ol pile of steamin doggy doo
So if I can’t be your number one then number two on you
Yeah if I can’t be your number one then number two on you
You stay out all night long and I don’t know with who
You ripped my heart right out of my chest and stomped it with a high heel shoe
Now if I can’t be your number one then number two on you
Yeah If I can’t be your number one then number two on you
One More I Love You Dear

She drives to work
every morning with the radio on
and everytime she hears
their favorite song
She remembers everything
can see him everywhere
Stil feels him near
like he's standing there
One More hug
Just one more kiss, touch of his hand
touching her hair
To wipe away the tears
Just one more, I love you dear
It's been three years
he never came home
they never found him
they said is that we just don't know
I love you, I'll be back in your arms
In a minute, our loves forever strong
She cries when she tries to sleep
praying one day that phone will ring
that burning feeling
in her heart the pains so deep
Where is he, he never came home
the hardest part is when you just don't know
half her heart, could be forever gone
there's always that hope
one day, he'll be coming home

Red Sun
By Kenneth Ray West
© 1991 Kirby Publishing (BMI)
A Red Sun, setting in a western sky.. A Blue heart beating but I don’t know why
Feel I want to cry, Feel I want to die
So I just say, Goodbye
This lonely road reaches into the distant horizon
Broken lines run together in my mind become a vision
Thinking of another day, the life I knew so far away
But that was another time and no longer mine
Was it you or was it me that said our love would grow
And the light would shine until the end of time and we both were very old
Both very old
But I guess love couldn’t live in a winter so cold
A Red Sun, setting in a western sky, A Blue Heart beating but I don’t know why
Feel I wanna cry, Feel I wanna die
So I just say goodbye
And the dreams we shared and the schemes we dared
And the secrets we spoke in the night
Are all in the rearview mirror far away out of sight
The sun is gone
I’m in the darkness all alone
Heading down the highway to the unknown
Now I see the gentle glow, of the next little town
I wish I could stop and turn, my life around, my life around
The Lord knows where I am bound
(lead)
A Red Sun, setting in a western sky, A Blue Heart beating but I don’t know why
Feel I wanna cry, Feel I wanna die
So I just say goodbye
So I just say goodbye
So I just say goodbye
A Red Sun setting in a western sky, Blue heart beating but I don’t know why
A Red Sun setting in a western sky, Red Sun Setting in a western sky
Blue heart beating but I don’t know why

The Color Green
By Kenneth Ray West
© 1988 Kirby Publishing (BMI)
It all started such a long time ago
When the old world was quite new
One man wants want another mans got
That greedy spirit that lies within you
It destroys a family
It can destroy a world
It spreads like the deadliest disease
We can not conquer, we can not control
So we justify our reasons
And we satisfy our needs
And we kill each other
And wear our medals
We speak great words
And give great honor
Blood flows freely
From the alter
But what is it worth
To sell your brother
And The devil’s seed is sown in greed
The jealous hearts desire
To blind the eye
No truth is seen
With the mind under the spell of the Color Green
With the mind under the spell of the Color Green
Peace to you my little children
Spoke the voice from the sky
Remember the words of the ancient prophet
Change your ways
Or you will die
And the devils seed is sown in greed
Jealous hearts desire
With the mind under the spell of the Color Green
With the mind under the spell of the Color Green
With the mind under the spell of the Color Green
Time For One More Song
By Kenneth Ray West
© 1991 Kirby Publishing (BMI)
TakeWest
Time
For one more song
Before we are gone, While we are strong
And there’s Time, for one more dream
You can float it upstream
Cause you know what I mean
And there’s Time
For one more kiss and all the love you miss
And all the love you miss
And there’s Time for one more kiss and all the love you miss
Time for live we live
Everything we give, well it’s a such a big deal
And Time, for all we waste
For just one taste, in such a haste
For what’s the worth of all the gold you save
And what’s the worth of losing just one day, just one day
Time for one more song, Time to sing along, Time for your freedom, Time to be the very one
Time to walk with me into the shining sun, into the shining sun
Time to walk with me into the shining sun, walk with me
(lead)
Time for one more song, Time to sing along, Time for your freedom, Time to be the very one
Time to walk with me into the shining sun, into the shining sun
Time to walk with me into the shining sun
Into the Shining Sun
Into the Shining Sun
Wish I Could Be
By Kenneth Ray West
© 2016 Kirby Publishing (BMI)
Wish I could be a mocking bird
I’d sing the song that nobody’s heard
Sing it in the highest tree
But nobody would ever see me
In the sun shine
In the sun shine
In the sunshine
In the warm sunshine
Wish I could be a might oak
Or maybe a mountain goat
Then I could stand all alone
I’d stand so firm, I’d stand so strong
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the cold wind blows
Wish I could be a raging river, that flows on and on forever
Then my life would be as time, all my dreams, they would be mine
There would be no end, There would be no end, There would be no end
There would be no dying end
Wish I could be the Stars in Heaven, Make all your wishes come true you’ve been given
I’d shine so bright till there was no night, Chase all your troubles out of sight
When the tears fall, When the tears fall, When the tears
When the sad tears fall
Wish I could be the love in people
Make them forget all the evil
Holding hands with one another
Being like, a brother to brother
Being humble as children, being humble as children, being humble as children
Being like little children
Wish I could be a mocking bird
I’d sing a song that no body’s heard
Sing it in the highest tree
But nobody would ever see
You're The River

You're the River
Running Through my heart
and together the future is ours
and you're the river
Running through my heart
From Minnesota to the Ohio
On way down south to St. Louis now
your starlit skies staring in my eyes
a river of memories,
home always heals the heart
we played in Memphis
Hotels in California
In the rains I'm your umbrella
from the cold and pain,
We've gone full circle
around the world now
There's no where else now?
Why do we even wonder how?
You're the River
Running Through my heart
and forever,
you'll always be a part
and together,
The Future is ours
and you're the river running through my heart
