- Lyrics
  Written By Alan Turner/Aaron Christoff/Greg Stryker
  There’s a place at Heavens edge
  Hell’s being raised on that one-way bridge
  Say it’s where the lost souls go
  Down on
  Renegade Road
  
  There’s a place where the sun don’t shine
  Where you pay your dues and do your time
  They say you wear a dead mans’ coat
  Down on Renegade Road
  
  (CHORUS)
  Renegade Road… Some call it outlaw heaven
  (Renegade Road)… Preacher said it’ll steal your soul
  (Renegade Road)… Mama warned you all about it
  (Renegade Road)… Said that’s where the bad boys go
  Down on Renegade Road
  When you’re running on the razors edge
  And you’re standing on the ledge
  Looking down at the fire below
  Down at Renegade Road
  
  (CHORUS)
  
  It’s cold and lonely and dark as night
  you hit your knees and you pray for the light
  Got a one way ticket with no return
  Boy you got to learn
  There’s still time to turn
  Off of…
  
  (CHORUS)
  
  Renegade Road

- Lyrics
  Written by Alan Turner and Greg Stryker
  I can see now | Just what she did to me how
  She cut path through me wow
  At least a country mile wide
  She came on like a storm without a warning
  Come Sunday morning she’s still rolling in my arms
  
  You know I can’t resist her she’s wild as the wind
  I try to run for shelter but she pulls me in again
  Every time she touches down it’s like an F5
  Every time I kiss her that girls like a Tennessee Twister
  
  Sirens going off in my head now
  She’s headed right for me wow
  I can see her funnel cloud
  I’m flyin in the sky
  High on this F5
  And I don’t think I ever wanna land
  
  You know I can’t resist her she’s wild as the wind
  I try to run for shelter but she pulls me in again
  Every time she touches down it’s like an F5
  Every time I kiss her You know I can’t resist her her
  That girls like a Tennessee Twister
  
  Thunderclouds are rollin in I can see the hail on the window pane
  She’s the kind of girl that don’t mind the rain
  Sounded like a freight train running down the track straight to my brain
  
  Can’t resist her…
  Oh I wanna Kiss her…
  That girls like a Tennessee Twister
  Girl is like a Tennessee Twister
  Girl is like a Tennessee Twister
  Tennessee Twister

- Lyrics
  Written by Alan Turner and Greg Stryker
  You can turn me on anytime that you want
  I got that thing that you need
  Oh Baby won’t you turn my dial
  Cause I’m on your frequency… Yeah
  
  Girl I’m just an old Radio
  I can play you some country or rock n’ roll
  Give me the beat boys to free my soul
  I’m a Cowboy just like Johnny Cash
  Sweet Child of Mine just like Slash
  Don’t you know… Yeah...
  I’m Just an Old radio
  
  Played your favorite song on your road trip
  Frist song you heard when he kissed your lips
  I was there when he broke your heart
  Anytime you need a little song
  Baby you can sing along….Yes you can!
  
  Girl I’m just an old Radio
  Sweet Emotion that’ll touch your soul
  Just like Old Time Rock n’ Roll
  Girl I’m just an old Magnavox
  You can dust me off you can make me rock
  Don’t you know…
  I’m Just an Old radio
  
  I was there when the Beatles came to town
  When they laid the King in the ground
  Now those Blue Suede Shoes don’t make no sound
  I was there when the Eagles started to fly
  While you shouted 8-6-7-5-3-0-9
  Baby I’m your Radio
  
  Drinking Tennessee Whiskey with George Jones
  While Willie Nelson’s back on the road
  I’m a good ole boy like the Waylon we used to know
  
  Girl I’m just an old Magnavox
  You can dust me off you can make me rock
  Don’t you know…
  I’m Just an Old radio
  I can play you a country song
  By the bonfire all night long
  I’m Just an Old Radio
  Tailgates’ down
  And the whiskey’s strong
  Baby Sing along
  Girl I’m just an old Radio
  I got the beat that will free your soul
  Don’t you know…
  I’m Just an old radio

3 Nails

Alan Turner
- Buy track
- Lyrics
  Written by Alan Turner and Greg Stryker
  Working in the barn just me and my dad
  He liked to build things with his hands
  He said “Son, I need three more nails”
  I reached in the box to grab three
  Cut my finger and it began to bleed
  I started to cry over those three nails
  He reached out to me with callous hands
  Said “Don’t you cry, my little man
  Gonna tell you a story about 3 nails”
  
  There was a man long ago
  Who lived by the Sea
  He was a carpenter
  And we believe
  He was the Son of God
  He taught us so many things
  We still use today
  Love your neighbor
  Don’t forget to pray
  For those in need
  
  Looking into my father’s eyes
  I could see him start to cry
  As he told me about that man
  That man could turn water into wine
  He could heal the sick. He could cure the blind
  He walked on water
  Brought things to life with his own hands
  
  They put him up on a cross
  Two nails through his hands
  One through his feet
  To kill the son of man
  It was the ultimate betrayal
  They put thrones on his head
  His blood ran red
  “It is finished” is what he said
  They used three nails
  
  All was not lost when they put him in the grave
  After 3 days an angel rolled the stone away
  And he left 3 nails
  
  They put him up on a cross
  Two nails through his hands
  One through his feet
  To kill the son of man
  It was the ultimate betrayal
  On the third day
  He rose from the grave
  Now all that’s left
  Are the scars in his flesh
  From those 3 nails

Angel Outlaw

Alan Turner
- Buy track
- Lyrics
  Written By Alan Turner & Greg Stryker
  It’s an Angel Outlaw Lullaby
  
  You’re an Angel. I’m an Outlaw.
  Just Like Faith and Tim McGraw
  You’re the grace under pressure.
  I’m a powder keg about to go off.
  Sometimes you get a little sawed off.
  I’ll make a choir boy out of you Outlaw.
  
  I’m an Angel. You’re an Outlaw.
  Just Like Faith and Tim McGraw
  I’ll be the breeze that calms that rebel.
  Come on baby give me your rebel heart.
  Sometimes I seem a little too drunk
  But not on moonshine… It’s your love….
  
  You’re an Angel. I’m an Outlaw.
  Just Like Faith and Tim McGraw
  You’re the grace under pressure.
  I’m a powder keg about to go off…
  You’re a devil looking for a little survival
  You’re my lost soul tent revival…
  
  So this Outlaw found an Angel
  She gave me wings so I could fly
  Wrapped me in leather
  Wrapped him in feathers
  It’s an Angel Outlaw Lullaby
  I’m no Angel. You’re no Outlaw.
  Just like Faith and Tim McGraw.

Brave Heart
- Buy track
- Lyrics
  Written by Alan Turner and Greg Stryker
  He was only 10 years old when the doctors told his mom
  That he wouldn’t see 18
  He was terminally ill and there wasn’t a pill
  To take away his pain
  And they poked and they prodded and they tested him all day
  He just sat there and smiled it all away.
  
  That boys got a brave heart cast from Steel
  God given favor to take what life deals
  Angels on both shoulders right from the start
  That boy’s got a brave… heart
  
  She was hiding in the bathroom starring at the mirror
  And her eyes were black as coal
  He was pounding on the door she couldn’t take it anymore
  So she closed her eyes to pray
  “How did we get here I don’t know,
  If you’re up there God please let me know?”
  
  That girl’s got a brave heart cast from Steel
  God given favor to take what life deals
  Angels on both shoulders right from the start
  That girl’s got a brave… heart
  
  His grandpa served in World War I and his father in Nam
  So he just enlisted
  Laying in the desert sand that boy became a man
  His Hummer on fire and twisted
  Bullets flyin, soldiers dyin, and chaos all around
  But he listens to his heart and he stays calm
  
  That boys got a brave heart cast from Steel
  God given favor to take what life deals
  Angels on both shoulders right from the start
  That boy’s got a brave… heart
  
  We all got brave hearts deep inside of us
  But we won’t ask for help unless the going gets tough
  A brave heart is cast from above
  We’ve all got Brave (we’ve all got brave)
  Hearts!

Backroad Love Song
- Buy track
- Lyrics
  Written by Alan Turner and Greg Stryker
  Preacher’s daughter sitting next to me
  Thinking that I’m Steve McQueen
  In my jacked up Chevrolet
  She slides way
  Blonde hair and sun tanned skin
  Cherry lips and a little grin
  She was my Homecoming Queen
  I was her King
  
  It’s a backroad love song
  Make a young boy’s heart beat strong
  Make it last all summer long
  It’s a back road love song
  Wooo Wooo Wooo Wooo
  
  Kickin’ dust on a gravel road
  Listening to the radio
  Summer wind blowing through her hair
  We didn’t have a care
  Puts her pretty toes on the dash
  Does her best Johnny Cash
  Man that girl could make me laugh
  She stole my heart
  
  (CHORUS)
  
  (BRIDGE) Just after midnight there’s a cricket serenade
  Fireflies lighting up that ole blanket
  Where we lay
  We’re still here… Thirty years later today
  Wooo Wooo Wooo Wooo
  
  Preacher’s daughter sitting next to me
  Thinking that I’m Steve McQueen
  Her blonde hair has turned to gray
  We drive away
  
  It’s a backroad love song
  Make an old man’s heart beat strong
  Made it last a lifetime long
  It’s a back road love song

- Lyrics
  Written by Alan Turner and Greg Stryker
  I can see you in the distance, taillights burning up the night
  Took another shot of whiskey as you fade on out of sight
  I don’t know just where you’re going
  But I sure know where you been
  
  Can’t forget you what we been through
  We’re running out of road yeah
  Running out of road
  
  Girl I’m living with your ghost now. September moon is going down
  On the backroads with no headlights, on the outskirts of town
  Girl I don’t know what I’m doing
  But I sure know that I’m gone
  
  Can’t forget you, what we been through
  We’re running out of road yeah
  Went the distance. Now it’s over.
  We’re running out of road yeah
  Running out of road
  
  Girl I know you’re never coming back
  As I park this truck here on these railroad tracks
  
  Can’t forget you what we been through
  We’re running out of road
  Girl we’re broken. It’s unspoken
  We’re running out of road
  Went the distance. Now it’s over.
  We’re running out of road yeah
  Right behind you. Gonna find you.
  We’re running out of road yeah
  Running out of road
  Running out of road

  Written by Alan Turner and Greg Stryker
  Been a long, long time since I held you baby
  Here in the dark I’m going crazy
  Another town, another stage but baby without you
  I just wanna come home girl, my hearts been true
  ---Been waiting on you---
  
  (CHORUS)
  Girl, I might be a little bit RUSTY
  So please, won’t you please
  Take it easy on me
  Girl, I might be a little bit RUSTY
  But you’ll see
  It’ll all come back to me
  
  Girl I need your touch like I need the sunshine
  You’re a tidal wave that floods over my mind
  Another night lying here in an empty hotel room
  When I slide between these sheets, girl I’m missing you
  ---My hearts been true---
  
  So… (CHORUS)
  
  When I get to our dirt road
  Gonna take you in my arms
  So take me by my hand

One Too Many

- Lyrics
  Written by Alan Turner and Greg Stryker
  I get to thinkin’ when I get to drinkin’
  But when I get to drinklin’ Lord knows I get to thinkin
  Bar stools and tattoos and girls with attitudes
  I’ll set here and think and try not to drink (Yeah Right)
  
  After One Too Many (Nah Nah Nah)
  I get to thinkin’ plenty
  Get to thinkin’ about that girl
  And how she did me wrong
  After the JD and the Henne (Nah Nah Nah)
  The Jim Beam and the Jamison
  I get to thinkin’ plenty
  After One Too Many
  I’m cocked and locked after one shot
  Man after 4 shots I’m ready to rock
  Whiskey is the bullet that gets her off my mind
  Bartender load me up one of every kind
  
  After One Too Many (Nah Nah Nah)
  I’m as worthless as a penny
  I’ll be swinging at everything
  And probably break the law
  After the JD and the Henne (Nah Nah Nah)
  The Jim Beam and the Jamison
  I get to thinkin plenty
  After One Too Many
  
  Sittin’ here sippin’ on Everclear wondering if she’s ever gonna come home
  Clock on the wall says last call but there ain’t no last call when you’re thinkin’ about it all
  
  After One Too Many (Nah Nah Nah)
  I get to thinkin plenty
  Get to thinkin about that girl
  And how she did me wrong
  After the JD and the Henne (Nah Nah Nah)
  The Jim Beam and the Jamison
  I get to thinkin plenty……

  Written by Alan Turner, Greg Stryker and George Aneed
  Time for me to hit the road. Maybe Key West or Mexico
  All I know is I need a break from the gray.
  Baseball cap and flip flops. Tell the boss I’m off the clock
  Gassed up my truck and hooked up my boat!
  Gonna roll gonna roll gonna roll
  
  Down to Mile Marker # 1
  Gonna pack up my truck make a midnight run
  Gonna find a party crowd and hang out in the sun
  Down at Mile Marker # 1
  
  Rum Runners on ice. French bikini. Tan lines.
  Breeze in my hair with a Ray Ban stare
  That’s how I roll how I roll how I roll
  
  Down to Mile Marker # 1
  Gonna pack up my truck make a midnight run
  Gonna find a party crowd and hang out in the sun
  Down at Mile Marker # 1
  
  See the sunset on the ocean. Smell the coconut in the air.
  Drinkin Rum Runners till the break of dawn
  Feelin’ fine in this Key West state of mind!
  George Aneed what’s happenin man!
  
  I’m gonna fly down the freeway
  Headed to the beach
  Soakin up the sun just my friends and me!
  We’re gonna hang all day.
  Party all night
  Down on Mile Marker # 1 that’s right!
  Come On!

  Hanging with my friends in the Key West sun
  The tides up! The girls are hot! The party’s begun!
  Down at Mile Marker # 1

58 (Night That Heaven Went Country)
- Buy track
- Lyrics
  Written by Alan Turner, Greg Stryker, Jim Kaatz, Randy Lopez, Bill Donahue, Aaron Christoff and Heather Mitcham
  Fate brought them together that hot Nevada night
  Just ordinary people, livin ordinary lives
  But in a window over Route 91
  There’s a mad man with a gun
  
  That’s the night that Heaven went country
  Dirt Road Anthem the angels sing out loud
  58… new angels up in Heaven
  Chilling on a dirt road right now
  
  He got her to shelter, gave his life for his wife
  Would you have the courage to make that sacrifice?
  When the stage lights all went down
  That desert was sacred ground
  
  That’s the night that Heaven went country
  Dirt Road Anthem the angels sing out loud
  58… Angels up in Heaven
  Rock of Ages is Don’t Rock the Jukebox now
  
  22,000 people sang God Bless America that night
  58 will fly away by the dawns early light …
  
  That’s the night that Heaven went country
  Dirt Road Anthem the angels sing out loud
  58… angels somewhere up in Heaven
  Rockin with Cash and Haggard now!
  
  That’s the night that Heaven went country
  Dirt Road Anthem the angels sing out loud
  58… new angels up in Heaven
  Chilling on a dirt road right now
  
  God Bless America land that I love
  Stand beside her and guide her
  Through the night with the light from above.

Renegade Road (Reprise)

- Lyrics
  Written By Alan Turner, Aaron Christoff and Greg Stryker
  There’s a way which seems right to a man
  A road that leads to one last stand
  In the end you’ll face it all alone
  Down on Renegade Road
  
  (CHORUS)
  Renegade Road… Some call it outlaw heaven
  (Renegade Road)… Preacher said it’ll steal your soul
  (Renegade Road)… Mama warned you all about it
  (Renegade Road)… Said that’s where the bad boys go
  Down on Renegade Road
  
  At the crossroad there’s a man clothed in white
  His nail pierced hands guide you to the light
  The road is all you need
  Just let it be
  In your mirror all you’ll see
  is…
  
  (CHORUS
  Renegade Road
  (Stay away from)
  Renegade Road

The songwriting of Renegade Road has been the collaborative work of Greg Stryker and myself. Together we had collectively written approximately 19 songs over about a 16 month period. This wasn’t the first time Greg and I had worked together… several songs from my prior work were a result of our partnership including “Preacher Man and Me “. After the success we had experienced with that song it just felt natural to continue on this path… That our individual skills were complementing each other. Initially my thought was to release all the songs in one big CD release… but time and performance schedules made it difficult … So I narrowed the project down to 13 songs that felt right together.
