Watching people passing by, at an outdoor cafe
Catching up on morning news while waiting for the day
By happenstance, I take a glance, at a patron nearby
She looks at me, eye to eye, yes could be the one
You and me against the world, walking hand-in-hand
There's a feeling deep inside, that I can’t understand
A once in a lifetime moment, this is truly love
I have found my true soulmate, now life can carry on
Stirring patterns in her latte, in the shape of a heart
She motions to me, come on over, I'm shaking as I start
Our eyes are locked in conversation wanting not to leave
Living in a perfect moment, her signals are received
You and me against the world, walking hand-in-hand
There's a feeling deep inside, that I can’t understand
A once in a lifetime moment, this is truly love
I have found my true soulmate, now life can carry on
My heart is filled with joy at last, now you are finally here
You say you have to go away, but promise to return one day
You and me against the world, walking hand-in-hand
There's a feeling deep inside, that I can't understand
A once in a lifetime moment, this is truly love
I have found my true soulmate, now life can carry on
You and me against the world, walking hand-in-hand
There's a feeling deep inside, that I can't understand
A once in a lifetime moment, this is truly love
I have found my true soulmate, now life can carry on

II. Miles Apart
04:14

Lying here awake
As the rain keeps falling in the dark
The wind blows the weakened leaves from the tree
Streetlights flicker on and off
As the lightning flashes, thunder crashes down
Will I ever find my rest?
I wait for you but there is no call
I pray that you are safe and sound tonight
The thunder crash stops my beating heart
I need you here, but we're miles apart
Some day these storms will end
Another night passes
The house is empty, it's deadly quiet here
I cannot stand to have you gone…this long
How do I pass the time
When you dominate all the thoughts in my mind
Everything I see reminds me of you
I wait for you but there is no call
I pray that you are safe and sound tonight
The thunder crash stops my beating heart
I need you here, but we're miles apart
Some day these storms will end
I wait for you but there is no call
I pray that you are safe and sound
The thunder crash stops my beating heart
I need you here, but we're miles apart
Some day these storms will end

Red or Blue
04:44
|

|
You're at a party and having a blast
Then someone mentions a political newscast
Some disagree, the scene turns ugly
And you wonder how long it will last
You try to separate, but it's too late
You get sucked into an endless debate
This is why I try, to avoid the outcry
And take another sip of wine
Doesn't matter if your red, or if you are blue
Our friendship's more important, than any political views
We can agree to disagree
But let's stay friends, no loose ends, and forget about who's
Red or Blue
We vote these bozos in, we vote these bozos out
It doesn't matter who, it's not worth shouting about
If you want to stay friends, you learn to avoid certain things
Or expect an all-out brawl
Hey! I love you guys, I mean I really do
Let's talk about the good things, not political miscues
Forget CNN or Fox News
It's a ratings win when reckless banter ensues
Doesn't matter if your red, or if you are blue
Our friendship's more important, than any political views
We can agree to disagree
But let's stay friends, no loose ends, and forget about who's
Red or Blue
Red or Blue
Red or Blue
Red or Blue
Religion and politics, what a dangerous game
It's a kind of mixture that causes friendship drain
Whether for or against, it generates angst
Don't go there, it might trigger a migraine
Friends make life so much more fulfilling
Arguments are part of life, but are not friend-ending
If you care for someone, it shouldn't end with a gun
True friends are too rare
Doesn't matter if your red, or if you are blue
Our friendship's more important, than any political views
We can agree to disagree
But let's stay friends, no loose ends, and forget about who's
Red or Blue
Red or Blue
Red or Blue
Red or Blue
You're at a party (having a blast)
Some disagree (scene turns ugly)
You try to separate (it's too late)
This is why I try (sip of wine)

Mind of a Nine Year Old
04:22

Can we go to Disney World today
It's only 12 hours away
Can we invite my best friend to play
One a school night? Maybe some other day
I love the mind of a nine-year-old
So carefree and easy, no troubles at all
Let's bottle it up, and share with the world
It's the mind of a nine-year-old
Can we buy that stuffed animal today
But you have 200 other ones already
Can I watch a movie tonight
Is your room all cleaned up? Well maybe
I love the mind of a nine-year-old
So carefree and easy, no troubles at all
Let's bottle it up, and share with the world
It's the mind of a nine-year-old
My homework is done, can I go out and play
You make me so proud, of course you may
They grow up so fast, I wish their innocence remained
But I'll treasure these days, always
I love the mind of a nine-year-old
So carefree and easy, no troubles at all
Let's bottle it up, and share with the world
It's the mind of a nine-year-old
Can we go to Disney World today
It's only 12 hours away
Can we invite my best friend to play
On a weekend, well that's okay
I love the mind of a nine-year-old
So carefree and easy, no troubles at all
Let's bottle it up, and share with the world
It's the mind of a nine-year-old
I love the mind of a nine-year-old
So carefree and easy, no troubles at all
Let's bottle it up, and change with the world
It's the mind of a nine-year-old

Seconds Away
04:51
|

|
We spent a few short days together
Now you've got to go
Maybe next time, who knows
Time is so unkind, minutes fly on by
Why can't we make it last
I count the days 'til next time
I cannot count that high, baby come back inside
Stop the clock from chiming
Stop the world from spinning
I need more time
We are seconds away
Won't you come back in and stay
We are seconds away
Only seconds away
Some say that time is what you make it
But I disagree, I can't make it without away
Time and space is empty
And that is how I feel
This emptiness is for real
My love for you is timeless
It has no ending, the beginning is now
Return to me what matters
What matters is you
I cannot go on
We are seconds away
Won't you come back in and stay
We are seconds away
Only seconds away
The night is cold, it's cold and dark
I can't deal with us apart
Won't you come back in and stay
Only seconds away
We are seconds away
Won't you come back in and stay
We are seconds away
Only seconds away

I Love You That Much

The sun will rise
The sun will set
I spend each day with regrets
I wonder why
Why did I let you go
Forgive me, forgive my ways
If you come back, I promise change
Please trust me now (trust me now)
Oh I promise you
For I, I love you that much (I love you that much)
I love you that much
I love you that much (I love you that much)
Oh yes I do
The end is near
Or so I fear
My broken heart
Just cannot mend without you here
You see there's no one else but you for me
Silents nights without you
I cannot stand it, please come home soon
I can't survive (can't survive)
Oh I miss you so
For I, I love you that much (I love you that much)
I love you that much (yes I do)
I love you that much (I love you that much)
Oh yes I do
Oh I do
Yes I do (I love)
Yes I do
The sun will rise, the sun will set (yes I do)
The sun will rise, the sun will set (yes I do)
For I, I love you that much (I love you that much)
I love you that much (yes I do)
I love you that much (I love you that much)
Oh yes I do
Oh I do
Yes I do

Wine Song
03:06

Sippin' on a Chardonnay or a Pinot Grigio
A big box 'o wine is the only way to go
You can buy me a pricey bottle of red
But it all goes down the same way and makes you dizzy in the head
Livin' in the South, drinkin' with my friends
It's all about the party, where the fun never ends
But I'm a little different, when it's refillin' time
Don't hand me that beer, I prefer wine
Now there's nothing wrong with a good pint of ale
I love my beer-drinking friends; I'd bail them out of jail
But there's a sophistication, a beer doesn't have
Wine in a glass gives this country boy some class
Livin' in the South, drinkin' with my friends
It's all about the party, where the fun never ends
But I'm a little different, when it's refillin' time
Don't hand me that beer, I prefer wine
Livin' in the South, drinkin' with my friends
It's all about the party, where the fun never ends
But I'm a little different, when it's refillin' time
Don't hand me that beer, I prefer wine
Livin' in the South, drinkin' with my friends
It's all about the party, where the fun never ends
But I'm a little different, when it's refillin' time
Don't hand me that beer, I prefer wine
Livin' in the South, drinkin' with my friends
It's all about the party, where the fun never ends
But I'm a little different, when it's refillin' time
Don't hand me that beer, I prefer wine

Annabel Lee
05:41
|
|||
|
It was many and many a year ago
In a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me
I was a child and she was a child
In this kingdom by the sea
But we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabel Lee
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me
And this was the reason that, long ago
In this kingdom by the sea
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea
The angels, not half so happy in heaven
Went envying her and me
Yes! - that was the reason (as all men know
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we
Of many far wiser than we
And neither the angels in heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride
In the sepulchre there by the sea
In her tomb by the sounding sea

Sticky Notes
03:12
|

|
Yea, what's up
Drop it low, to the floor
Are you ready for this?
I gotta a problem that I hope you can solve
My lady likes writing all over the walls
She leaves these little sticky notes all over the place
There's so many, I believe she's running out of space
I tried to solve it with an iPod Touch
But she leaves these little sticky notes just as much
I think she is addicted, but I don't have the heart to tell her so
Sticky notes here, and sticky notes there
I can see those sticky notes most everywhere
In every color, in every size
She writes a sticky note to remind her to write a sticky note
Sticky notes here, and sticky notes there
I can see those sticky notes most everywhere
In every color, in every size
She writes a sticky note to remind her to write a sticky note
Stickies in the bathroom, stickies in the bedroom
Stickies in the living room and the kitchen too
Don't stick it (true dat, true dat)
Don't stick it
Leave that note alone (that's right)
You can remember (yea, yea, yea)
Don't write it down (what?)
Sticky notes here, and sticky notes there
I can see those sticky notes most everywhere
In every color, in every size
She writes a sticky note to remind her to write a sticky note
Sticky notes here, and sticky notes there
I can see those sticky notes most everywhere
In every color, in every size
She writes a sticky note to remind her to write a sticky note
Sticky notes here, and sticky notes there
I can see those sticky notes most everywhere
In every color, in every size
She writes a sticky note to remind her to write a sticky note

Beer Run '86
03:38
|
|||
|
One Night I had a party, and invited the world to come
I bought 30 kegs of beer, put 30 on reserve and I thought that would be enough
Well, the party was going great and it was lots of fun until I heard someone exclaim, "Where's the beer"
And then they all disappeared and I don't know what happened then
I don't know where all of it went
I don't know what to do
I don't know why I let it go dry
I must make a beer run
Make a beer run
Have you seen a beer run
Well we gathered up some money and went into town and took all the beer in sight
Then brought it all home and opened it up and I thought, "Everything's gonna be alright"
Well, the party was going great and it was lots of fun until I heard someone exclaim, "Where's the Beer?"
And they all disappeared and I just threw up my hands and said
I don't know where all of it went
I don't know what to do
I don't know why I let it go dry
I must make a beer run
Make a beer run
Make a beer run
Make that beer run
Make a beer run
Make a beer run
Make a beer run, oh
I don't know where all of it went
I don't know what to do
I don't know why I let it go dry
I must make a beer run
Make a beer run
Make a beer run
Run away, run away

Michael Barrett Dixon Richmond, Virginia
MBD started composing music and writing songs at age 13. He refined his craft in college (two music composition degrees) and
has never looked back.
Most albums blend many genres, so it is difficult to pin one on this musician. A synth is usually not far away, but MBD has dabbled in jazz, electronic, soundtrack, alternative, rock, and pop. You name it, he has probably written something in it.
