Sometimes I think about it, where did all the time go
Seems like just yesterday, I never thought of growin’ old
When I look in the mirror my daddy’s face I see
Slowly but surely, time has taken its toll on me
Shattered dreams, scattered schemes, the check was always in the mail
If success is material things I guess I failed
But if I could live my life all over again
I wouldn’t change a thing
If I could live my life all over again
I wouldn’t change a thing
Cause if I would change one second of my life
Chances are…I wouldn’t have you
I had some bad times ah but I had me some good times to
Ain’t it funny how as time goes by most of the bad times seem like good
times to
When I think about my young and crazy days
I regret the precious time I wasted away
Sometimes I wonder how I made it through it all
I slipped, tripped and stumbled but I refuse to fall
And If I could live my life all over again
I wouldn’t change a thing
If I could live my life all over again
I wouldn’t change one thing
Cause If I would change one second of my life
Chances are…I wouldn’t have you
Oh without you-what would I do
I’m no good without you
I wouldn’t trade places with the richest man on Earth
Money can’t buy me a friend; money ain’t what I’m worth
Ups, downs, round and rounds help me be who I am
I wouldn’t change a doggone thing cause you love me for who I am
Oh If I could live my life all over again
I wouldn’t change a thing
I said if I could live my life all over again
I wouldn’t change a thing
Cause If I would change one second of my life
Chances are…I wouldn’t have you
For Old Time Sake

Lonely days Sleepless nights
I’m losin you-but what can I do
You say you can’t do this no more
You got another plan-I’m dealin’with it the best I can
This heart of mine just won’t let go
The love we shared, I need you so
I gotta face reality – I know you’re leavin’ me
I ask one last favor of you
Please I beg of you
Let me hold you one more time for old time sake
Help me relieve this hurt and pain- my broken heart aches
Please let me love you one more time for old time sake
Please give a friend a break for old time sake
One more time before you go
Let me hold you tight-help me make it through tonight
Tomorrow is another day
Things change with time-hopefully I can change your mind
If only for old memories
when you shared true love with me
Please give me tonight
Let me try and make things right
We’ll do nothing you don’t wanna do
All I ask of you – is
Let me kiss you more time for old time sake
Help me relieve this hurt and pain my broken heartaches
Please let me love you one more time for old time sake
Please give a friend a break
For old Time sake
I’m sorry for the wrong I’ve done

What's Up With That?
(Written by General Johnson)
Rich folks gettin’ richer
Poor folks can barely make ends meet.
In the land of prosperity, homeless people sleepin’ in the street
The price of oil and gas so high we can’t afford to drive
The high cost of insurance, you can’t afford to get sick or die.
It’s a cryin’ shame, the way they do my life
But they say I’m to blame.
Go find yourself a job, that’s the answer to my plea
The job I had, the job I need, they sent it over seas!
What’s up? What’s up with that?
What’s up ya’ll? What’s up with that?
It don’t make sense to me
Maybe you can help me see
What’s up? What’s up with that?
Old men startin’ wars, that young people have to fight
To young to buy a drink but old enough to risk a life
Pollution destroying the world but big business doesn’t seem to care
Old people suffering, little children starving everywhere
It’s a cryin’ shame, the way they do my life
But they say I’m to blame.
You need to go out and vote, that’s the answer to my plea
I voted but my vote was changed by the voting machine
What’s up? What’s up with that?
What’s up ya’ll? What’s up with that?
It don’t make sense to me
Maybe you can help me see
What’s up? What’s up with that?
It’s a cryin’ shame, the way they do my life
But they say I’m to blame.
Go find yourself a job, that’s the answer to my plea
The job I had, the job I need, they sent it over seas!
What’s up? What’s up with that?
What’s up ya’ll? What’s up with that?
When a helpless city drowns and no help, no help can be found
What’s up? What’s up? What’s up with that?

All in the Family
All in the Family
(Written by General Johnson)
Daddy lost his paycheck gambling all night long
Baby sister had a baby, her boyfriend refused to own
Big brother was strung out
Daddy wanted to throw him out
But mama said no, he’s our flesh and blood and together we can work it out
Mama said, it’s all in the family
Blood is thicker than water
In tryin’ times in our love we find the strength to keep keepin’ on
Bad boys tried to get baby brother to sell drugs
He had to choose between doin’ wrong and his families love
Mom and Dad had taught him right from wrong
We help him stay in school where he belonged
Today we’re as proud of him as we can be
He graduated from college with a masters degree
Mama said, it’s all in the family
Blood is thicker than water
In tryin’ times in our love we find the strength to keep keepin’ on
All for one, one for all
Together we stand divided we fall
When your back is up against the wall
You can count on family to come when you call
Big brothers off drugs now
Baby sister and her boyfriend are married now
I’m trying to make it in this world that has no love for me
But I know I can make it cause I got my family
I know it’s all in the family
Blood is thicker than water
In tryin’ times in our love we find the strength to keep keepin’ on
It Ain't Easy Bein' Me
(Written by General Johnson)
It ain’t easy bein’ me
I don’t know about you
Just trying to be who I’m supposed to be
It ain’t easy bein’ me
It’s so hard to be good
It’s so good when it’s bad
Tryin’ to live so I don’t make you mad
It ain’t easy bein’ me
I can’t be you, you can’t be me
Why do you try to make me who you want me to be
I ain’t got but one life to live
I ain’t gon’ let you live it for me
It ain’ easy bein’ me
But who else can I be
I’m just tryin’ to be the best me I can be
Please let me be
