Dusty - written by John Guliak
I couldn’t walk the line
I could barely hold myself upright
I’d been pushed around and beaten down
in no shape for a fight
When you stepped in the ring
I felt ready for anything
I picked myself up off from the ground
And we began to swing
You’ve knocked me down more than i wanna tell
You get a rise outta me when you’re raising Hell
You’d go toe to toe with a tornado
You’re a wild one and that’s why i call you Dusty
I was feeling proud
Struttin’ around with my head up in the clouds
When that old feeling came creeping in
I could almost say it out loud
But i was still twice shy
Wouldn’t let myself get too high
So worried about the shape i was in
I let your love walk on by
You’ve knocked me down more than i wanna tell
You get a rise outta me when you’re raising Hell
You’d go toe to toe with a tornado
You’re a wild one and that’s why i call you Dusty
I couldn’t walk the line

High on Style - written by John Guliak
*lyric by Kristy Nanise
This old heart has some pieces missin’
The worn out sign on its door says Gone Fishin’
And if you find me down by the riverside i’ll be cryin’
But then you came along in your little red canoe
And shattered the reflection that I thought i knew
I hadn’t looked up from myself in a long, long while
You got this old man shakin’
though I’ve never been the dancing type
Watch me shimmy down the street)
I’m shinin’ like i’m high on style
Now i bought myself some new boots and a pair of skinny jeans
I didn’t think that I was sick but now I know just what that means
‘Cause I’m sicker than your dope and doper than the rest
My love is off the hook and you bet i’m poppin fresh
I’m dookie fresh
You got this old man shakin’
though I’ve never been the dancing type
Watch me shimmy down the street
I’m shinin’ like i’m high on style
This heart of mine is a work of progress
It’s never been broke, ain’t got no sins to confess
I’ve only ever waded out knee deep into the sea of love
Then you broke the surface and you pulled me under
Who could’ve guessed that you’d be the one who
Would lay me on a sea of stars, drown me in my heart’s desire
You’ve got this little girl shakin’
Though i’ve never been the dancing type
Watch me shimmy down the street
I’m shining like I’m high on style
*See I’m drawn to that refined look like a moth to burnin’ flames
You’re a top shelf specimen with a soft and curvy frame
They say that I’m a gold star, shinin’ bright among the best
Grant a chance and I’ll sure show you where our hearts and loins can rest
An ideal hot mess*
You’ve got this little girl shakin’
Though i’ve never been the dancing type
Watch me shimmy down the street
I’m shining like I’m high on style
