WALK TO KEEP FROM CRYIN 4:20
By Erick Hovey
Walkin, got a long long way to go (2 times)
When I get there baby, you’ll be the last to know
Pack my bags, put on my walkin shoes (2 times)
Yea I can’t stop walkin, until I shake these blues
I’m walkin, walk to keep from cryin (2 times)
When I stop walkin, I can see your lyin
When I stop walkin, time just pass me by
Yea don’t stop walkin, time will pass you by
And I keep on walkin, walk to keep from cryin
Yea I’m walkin, walk to keep from cryin (2 times)
And if I stop walkin, I can see your lyin

Show me the way to go
Take me home, take me home
CHORUS:
This old highways gonna take me home
And sometimes I think I’m flyin
Sometimes I think I’m flyin

Eyes glowin in the waving grass
All see me home they see me home
Over there where the lightin strikes
That’s my home, That’s my home
That’s my home, That’s my home

SHAKE THAT THANG 3:10
By Erick Hovey
Shake that thang (4 times)
CHORUS:
Hey, hey, hey, when ya move that way
You make my heart beat, take my breath away
My cool gets hot it’s the circumstance
I loose control when I see you dance
I said shake that thang. Shake it
I didn’t get excited, when ya walked into the bar
Nothin special happened, when you drove me in your car
We were getting on OK, I thought we’d just be friends
But you took my soul, I lost control, when I saw you dance
CHORUS:
Shake it in the parking lot, shake it at the door
Shake it on the tables baby, shake it at the bar
Your getting my attention, as you move across the floor
But ya took my soul, I lost control, when I saw you dance
CHORUS:
Shake it (9 times)

LOVE AFFAIR 3:42
By Erick Hovey
If I only, if I only had one day to live
And I could go, I could go, I could go anywhere
Id come and tell you baby
You’re my love affair
I, I love the way you make me feel
And I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, if you care
But I just got to tell you baby
You’re my love affair
BRIDGE:
Id climb the tallest mountain, Id cross the deepest sea
To give you all my lovin, oh, can’t you see
If I loose you, if we have to say goodbye
Well the next time, in the next life, we will meet, by and by
You know it’s only all the time
Your on my mind
Ya Id come and tell you baby
You’re my love affair

TORE ME APART 4:00
By Erick Hovey
Woke up this morning, she was sweet
Day went on she got mean, mean
Left me here head in my hands
Left to rust like an old machine
CHORUS:
Well she lied, cheated
Look how Iv been treated
Tore me down, stomped on my heart
Took all my money and tore me apart, tore me apart
Left me here head in my hand
Long list of rude demands
Cold cash in her hand
Left me here head in my hands
CHORUS:
She come back for the rest of my things
When I get more she be back again

SLEEP LATE 2:53
By Erick Hovey
CHORUS:
Sleep late (2 times)
Sleep all day, I’m gonna have some fun tonight

Be crawlin home when it gets light
Sleep all day while my body mends
I don’t go home till the party ends
CHORUS:
Sun comes up I go down
The moon comes out, I’ll be round
Pull down the shades unplug the phone
Pull up the covers I won’t be alone
CHORUS:
Be an early breakfast gonna miss my lunch
Probably miss dinner, never had a brunch
I don’t wear shades don’t have a tan
Can’t do lunch cause I’m an evening man
CHORUS:
Sleep Late (4 times)
I’m gonna sleep all day, gonna have some fun tonight

WHAT YOU BLUE ABOUT 2:42
By Erick Hovey
Does your soul shine, when the sun comes out (2 times)
Won’t your heart sing, what you blue about?
Does your heart ache, when the moon comes out (2 times)
Won’t your heart sing, what you blue about?
Does your soul shine, when the sun comes out
Does your heart ache, when the moon comes out
Won’t your heart sing, what you blue about?

NOTHIN LIKE A GOOD GUITAR 2:44
By Erick Hovey
New cars they’re nice to own
Gold tequila and a brand new home
It aint nothin, like a good guitar
Give me diamonds and give me a pool
If I turn down your offer maybe I’m a fool
There aint nothin, like a good guitar
CHORUS:
Aint nothing like it (2X)
Aint nothing like a good guitar
Aint nothing like it (2X)
Aint nothing like a good guitar
A lot of people d rather have the car
A new stereo a new VCR
It aint nothing, like a good guitar
Give me all your lovin, give me all your things
It won’t make me happy like that wood and strings
It aint nothing like a good guitar

EMPATHIZE 3:30
By Erick Hovey
CHORUS:
Empathize, karmic lives
Golden rule, it’s what you do
You know what makes you feel good
When your treated right
All you have to know, while you live your life
It’s the law of retribution, you know it might be true
A golden mean for the human race, it comes right back to you
CHORUS: (2 times)
Your doin me no favor, when you tell me what to do
Tellin me what to think, I don’t do that to you
It’s the law of retribution, you know it might be true
All you have to know while you live your life
It’s gonna come right back to you
CHORUS: (8 times)

ABCs 2:01
By Erick Hovey
I saw an eagle working today
I coupled with the sun and rain
I heard the tall grass sing in the night
Preserved by a brighter light
CHORUS:
What do you think is real?
Do you know your ABCs?
Tell me what you think, what you think you see (2 times)
This desert was a shallow sea
Don’t steal my energy
Land on fire, under ice
You think its pretty, you think its nice
CHORUS:
I saw an eagle working today
I coupled with the sun and rain
I heard the tall grass sing in the night
Preserved by a brighter light

Erick Hovey and Friends Fort Dodge, Iowa
Erick Hovey's music is peppered with seasonings of blues, roots rock, jazz, funk, old power trio rock, reggae, and newer folk fusion styles. His lyrical content has not only good humored nods towards classic blues and rock clichés’, but spans the afterlife, and existentialism as well. Sometimes it’s spooky, sometimes it’s raw, spiritual, and sensual. Think Mark Knopfler, JJ Cale, and Peter Green. ... more
