Midnight Ride
c2007 Sol Knopf & Greg Gantzer
He’s got his foot on you with the pedal to the metal
Layin’ off the clutch so you’re gonna have to settle
With his hands on you like a steering wheel
Drivin’ so fast gonna make you squeal
And you don’t even know that he’s really bound to go
On a midnight ride… to nowhere… he’s goin’ nowhere
Takin’ you on a midnight ride…to nowhere…he’s goin nowhere
Takin’ you on a midnight ride.
Well it’s a road you’ve traveled many times before
You’re just a poor old sucker comin’ back for more
A junkyard Jenny in a passenger seat
And you’re runnin outa gas baby ain’t that sweet…
And you may think you’re bold
But it’s going to get cold
On a midnight ride… to nowhere… he’s goin’ nowhere
Takin’ you on a midnight ride…to nowhere…he’s goin nowhere
Takin’ you on a midnight ride.
Well you heard your Momma’s voice
But you had to make your own choice
Now your feelin’ like fool far from home
On a midnight ride
Now there’s a light up ahead and it’s shinin’ on you
It’s like a ray of reason…what you gonna do?
You get control of this car and pull it off the track
Put your feet on the black top and never look back
And as he’s screamin’ out your name
You know you’ll never go again
On a midnight ride… to nowhere… he’s goin’ nowhere
Takin’ you on a midnight ride…to nowhere…he’s goin nowhere
Takin’ you on a midnight ride.

The Chocolate Song
c2007 Words & Music by Sol Knopf
“Step away from the table” he heard the voice say
With his feet on the ground he began to pray
Thought he heard a gun cock …wondered if this was it
Never thought his precious day would be ending like this.
And as he saw his whole life flash before his eyes
A hard luck story with a tragic demise
How did it ever spiral into this mess?
Would the obituary say anything to impress?
So take your hands out of your pockets and move ‘em slow
What your holdin’ just you drop it … don’t you know
That I mean business with what I say
Or with your life you’re gonna pay
In the background the TV was blastin the news
Keep your eyes on the lookout a devil’s on the loose
But the voice in his ear sounded somewhat the same
As the woman who he married and her name was Jane.
But the tone was kinda low and it sounded possessed
Like a wolf on a mission…but wearin’ a dress
Afraid to turn and look his killer in the eye
He squeezed his eyes shut and prepared to die!
So take your hands out of your pockets and move ‘em slow
What your holdin’ just you drop thought I told you so….
But I guess that you forgot it….
DON’T EVER MESS WITH A WOMAN’S CHOCOLATE!
So take your hands out of your pockets and move ‘em slow
Don’t you mess with a woman’s chocolate
Thought I told you so
But I guess that you forgot it Babe
DON’T EVER MESS WITH A WOMAN’S CHOCOLATE!

Searching For You
c2007 Words & Music by Sol Knopf
If I could make one wish
I’d wish that you still loved me
I’d wish I had been the man that you wanted me to be
But I gave you everything that I had
And still ended up with a good love gone bad
Now here I am in search of another
In search of another
But I’ll be searching for you in every woman see
Searching for you through eternity
For someone with your eyes
The kind that hypnotize and sparkle so blue
But tell me how can I find someone else
If I’m searching for you?
I’ve heard it said before
There’s someone for everyone
But what do you do if your someone’s been taken?
Don’t tell me ‘bout all those fish in the sea
Tell me there’s someone like you left for me
And if there is, you know where I’ll be
You know where I’ll be….
I’ll be searching for you in every woman I see
Searching for the you that you used to be
When your smile was so bright,
Same shine, different light,
And your heart was still true.
But tell me how can I find someone else
If I’m searching for you?
I’ve been searching for you in every woman I see
Searching for you but now it’s clear to me
That it’s time to let go ‘cause I’ll just never know if another will do
So I’ll say goodbye to the love that we knew
Hello to a change overdue
‘Cause I’ll surely never find anyone else
If I’m searching for you.

Good Love Takes Time
c2007 Words and Music by Sol Knopf
I believe in destiny
With a little help from you and me
And that patience is the key
To unlock the door to love’s longevity
How do lover’s stay in love forever
At a time when people break up every day?
I’m tellin’ you
Good love takes time
Good love’s like a fine wine
Life ain’t no race to see who wins
It’s no chase to the finish line
And good love takes time
Sometimes fights will get you down
Sometimes love just can’t be found
When stubborn hearts are all around
There just ain’t no middle ground
But what I’ve found is every day’s a new day
To make life better than before
I’m tellin’ you
Good love takes time
Good love’s like a fine wine
Life ain’t no race to see who wins
It’s no chase to the finish line
And good love takes time
Now I ain’t sayin’ that you should never quit
No…no….there’s plenty reasons to do that
But just be sure before you give up too quick
That you’ve done all that you can do
To be among the precious few
Who keep it goin’ when the storm is through

Dancing With The Bottle
By: Craig Stonesifer and Sol Knopf c 2007
Our favorite song was playing on the jukebox
The one we danced to down the line
We used to groove so close together
But since she’s gone I guess I’ll have to keep time
Chorus
Dancin’ Dancin’ with the bottle
I’m two stepping with her memory tonight
And it’s a lonely dance for a broken hearted man
It’s a lift of the glass that doesn’t take a steady hand
Yeah I’m dancin’ dancin’ with the bottle
Now every man should know
The simple twist of the wrist and the elbow
Because when things get to be the worst
I’ll tell ya Mister you can work up a hell of a thirst
Chorus
So I’m dancin’ dancin’ with the bottle
A slow fandango under a neon light
I’m a winnin’ waltzer who’s tired of this slow dance
I need to call her if I’m gonna stand half a chance
But I can’t stop dancin’ dancin’ with the bottle
After all the times we’ve danced together
I can’t believe we’ll never get the steps right.
Chorus
So I’m dancin’ dancin’ with the bottle
Yeah I’m shufflin’ and my next partners on ice
I’ll be doing the same thing tomorrow
If my call falls on deaf ears tonight
I’ll be dancin’ dancin’ with the bottle.

Where Have You Been?
c2007 Words and Music by Sol Knopf
Where have you been all my life
When I was cold and needed arms to hold me tight
To keep me warm to make things right
When life went wrong
Where have you been all my life
When I struggled just to make it through the night
Without touch…without love…without you.
Misty mornings came and went without you
A lifetime’s come and gone without you here
But like a precious gift from heaven sent to save me
You came into my life and made things clear
But where have you been? Where have you been?

Wrapped Around My Heart
c2007 Words and Music by Sol Knopf
I’m in a brand new world
Since this gorgeous girl
Took a hold on me
And now she’s all I need
It’s like a vine that winds
Through the essence of my soul
And it feeds on my desire
Consumes me as it grows
She’s wrapped around my heart
Got control of me
And I never wanna be set free
Cause she takes me to a place I’ve never been before
She’s wrapped around my heart
She’s got a hold on me.
It’s got so I can’t see
The forest for the trees
But I don’t really care
And I don’t even dare
Like a vine that winds
Through the essence of my soul
And it feeds on my desire
Consumes me as it grows
She’s wrapped around my heart
Got control of me
And I never wanna be set free
Cause she takes me to a place I’ve never been before
She’s wrapped around my heart
She’s got a hold on me
She’s wrapped around my heart
She’s in control….

Love is What You Make It
c2007 Words and Music by Sol Knopf
She’s afraid that you will hurt her to the core
Just like the last one did and the one that did before
She tends to attract a man who changes at mid-stream
First he’s an angel then he just turns mean
And so…she’ll be keeping her eye on you.
In order to love someone you got to love yourself
But how do you love yourself when your life’s a living hell
You look in the mirror and you see an ugly face
Eyes filled with hatred and anger all over the place
And so…you better get it together
You’re gonna have to earn her trust
She deserves so much
Love is what you make it
It’s a reflection of you
Love is what you give it
And it’s comin’ on through
And there’s love enough for you
You get it together and you might have a chance
Be her little darling in a secret love romance
Fly to an island or sail your life away
Whatever you do you gotta be good to her every day
That’s so…she’ll wanna stay with you forever
Once you earn her trust
You both will have so much
Love is what you make it
It’s a reflection of you
Love is what you give it
And it’s comin’ on through
And there’s love enough for you

You Were The One
c2007 Words and Music by Sol Knopf
Somewhere tonight our love has lost its way
And I am the one who’s left alone.
Somehow I knew
Things would come down to you.
You were the one, you were the one.
I gave you my heart but time has taken it’s toll.
All those years was it true love?
I wish I knew what was going on inside of you.
You were the one, you were the one.
Lost through the window
Of a stormy lullabye
Wanting you so bad
And knowing I’ll never get you back
I want you to know
That I will always love you
There’s a place in my soul that’s truly yours
I wish I knew if you felt the same way too
You were the one, You were the one
