To Live And Die
I’m standing by the wayside,
Waiting for a friend
The future of our love
Is nothing to defend
The men are laying down,
With pennies on their eyes
They’ll never bother me
With their useless lies
To live and die every day
It’s the price that we have to pay
I want a legacy that I can see
Don’t you know how it has to be, to be
We’re livin in the fast lane
With no where to go
There’s no one else to blame
There’s no one that I know
I can’t remove my eyes
From the blindin light
The dead are gonna rise
And nothin is right
To live and die every day
It’s the price that we have to pay
I want a legacy that I can see
Don’t you know how it has to be, to be
The proof is in the puddin
Is how the saying goes
We just keep on trudgin
This life really blows
We’re livin on the edge
We gotta find our way
Life’s like a privilege
I need to hear you say
To live and die every day
It’s the price that we have to pay
I want a legacy that I can see
Don’t you know how it has to be
To live and die every day
It’s the price that we have to pay
I want a legacy that I can see
Don’t you know how it has to be

I’m So Lucky
A poor man approached me
Begging for a meal
He looked pretty ragged
He looked pretty real
How could I refuse
What he wanted from me
He was a street life man
That I could see
We talked for a while
He was happy to eat
I had him sit down
So he could rest his feet
His story was simple
He had nowhere to go
He just kept moving
With the hustle & flow
I'm So Lucky
Don't know what to do
I'm So Lucky
What’s happened to you
I'm So Lucky
Don't know what to do
I'm So Lucky
If not me, it’s you
She was waiting tables
With a bruise on her arm
She had a pretty face
Laced with alarm
When she turned away
I saw a look of fear
Someone had to help her
It would be me I swear
She invited me home
To her little house
Saw him outside
I saw her louse
He walked right in,
And I felt his anger,
Knocked him to the floor
Showed him some danger
I'm so lucky
Don't know what to do
I'm so lucky
I get to be here with you
I'm so lucky
Don't know what to do
I'm so lucky
If not me. It’s you

Angels In Your Eyes
I can see the angels in your eyes
Can you imagine my surprise
The whole world laid out at your feet
The love you get from the people you meet
Your life is something to see
You move along so gloriously
Can we touch the ones that we love
Will we find that love from above
The colors move around us like fish in the sea
You have no idea what you do to me
We intertwine like vines in the field
For you my love, I will always yield
Your life is something to see
You move along so gloriously
Can we touch the ones that we love
Will we find that love from above
Take my hand, let’s dance the night away
Our love is the music that will always stay
I’ll trip with you to the very end
Into the cosmos we will surely blend
Your life is something to see
You move along so gloriously
Can we touch the ones that we love
Will we find that love from above

Why Can’t The World Let Me Go
The day is bright, but the road is long,
I don’t want you to go
The past is dead, the future’s dark,
Why do I move so slow
You’re all I need, You’re all I want
I need to escape the fear
Hold me tight, don’t look back,
We’ll run away from here
Don’t let them take me away from you
Take my hand and lead me through
Why can’t the world let me be
Why can’t the world let me go
The trouble is, inside my head
I can’t take the heat
You sooth my mind, you rest my soul
And your love is such a treat
Why do they want, to take you away
To break my heart in two
I’m mad inside, I’ve lost control
I know it makes me blue
Don’t let them take me away from you
Take my hand and lead me through
Why can’t the world let me be
Why can’t the world let me go

Scott Leslie Vero Beach, Florida
I’m a self-taught guitarist/songwriter and my influences are from the amazing music of the 60’s and 70's. In the late 60’s/early 70’s I had the good fortune to be a part-time roadie working the DC area, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York for a number of bands. They included; The Jeff Beck Group, Ten Years After, The Doors, The Who, ELP and many others. So I had some interesting influences. ... more
