Hound Dogs on the Loose
© Copyright 2013 by Michael Houlberg
In the mid summer heat
In the dead of night
With the full moon high
Casting silver light
Heard a hound dog howl
Like the Siren's song
I couldn't help myself
I was drawn along
Howling at the moon
Running hard
Hound dogs on the loose
Going to a party
On the wrong side of town
Looking for some loving
Got my nose to the ground
Heard a hound dog howl
Like an angel's scream
I couldn't think right then
I couldn't say what it means
Howling at the moon
Running hard
Hound dogs on the loose
Dancing in the street
With a frenzied crowd
Playing rock n roll music
Turned up really loud
Heard hound dog howl
When the pitch rose higher
Every dog in town
Had to join the choir
Howling at the moon
Running hard
Hound dogs on the loose

Slow Trucks
© Copyright 2014 by Michael Houlberg
Slow trucks rolling on a winding road
Slow trucks hauling in a heavy load
Slow trucks crawling up a steep climb
Down shifting, hear the diesel’s whine
She said slow down baby
Ease your foot off the gas
She likes slow trucks
Slow trucks, to make her loving last
Highway to Tipton on a Saturday night
Blowing past the exits gas food next right
Speed limit 50 in the truck lane
Slow trucking drives me insane
I said come on baby
We can drive all night
She likes slow trucks
Slow trucks, gonna make you feel all right
She’s getting restless, I can see it in her eye
Hanging at the truck stop with another guy
Pain in my heart feels like a knife stab
He’s got a big rig with a sleeper cab
I said don’t leave me baby
Let’s try to make things right
She likes slow trucks
Slow trucks, taillights leaving in the night
Slow trucks rolling on a winding road
Slow trucks hauling in a heavy load
Slow trucks crawling up a steep climb
Down shifting, hear the diesel’s whine
Well I lost my baby
‘Cause I was moving too fast
She likes slow trucks
Slow trucks, our love was never meant to last

Let’s Talk Calmly
© Copyright 2014 by Michael Houlberg
Let’s talk calmly
Don’t let it turn into a fight
Let’s talk calmly
Don’t let it turn into a fight
Yes I’m really going to leave you
For someone I’ve just known one night
Can you hear me
I’m trying to make my words cut through
Can you hear me
I’m trying to make my words cut through
Yes I know that I’m shouting
What else am I supposed to do
There’s no feeling
It drained away years ago
There’s no feeling
It drained away years ago
I don’t want to leave you crying
Can you stop before I turn and go

When the Summer Ends
© Copyright 2015 by Michael Houlberg
I’ve been spending every day with you
Since the day we met
And every evening on the beach
Watching the sun set
You’ve taken me to all your parties
Introduced me to your friends
But I said from the beginning
I’m leaving when the summer ends.
We’ve been making such good memories
They’ll never fade away
And thinking about your smile
Almost makes we want to stay
But the days are getting shorter
While the length of night extends
Like I said from the beginning
I’m leaving when the summer ends.
Through May June July August and September
You gave me a summer I always will remember
I feel that cool autumn wind start to blow
I’ve got to go
I warned you not to fall in love
I don’t feel I’ve steered you wrong
‘Cause I’m not the kind to settle down
Don’t stay one place to long
I’ve got this curiosity
To see past where the highway bends
Like I said from the beginning
I’m leaving when the summer ends.
I told you from the get to
You’re going to have to let go
This is a warning
I’m leaving in the morning
Just like I told you
I’m leaving when the summer ends.

A Little Mystery
© Copyright 2015 by Michael Houlberg
I seek adventure, you like a little mystery,
I seek adventure, you like a little mystery,
What we discover will make our own history.
Outside the window, look at the full moon hanging low,
Outside the window, look at the full moon hanging low,
Turn on some music, play us something soft and slow.
Don’t need a road map, not following any recipe,
Don’t need a road map, not following any recipe,
We make our own path, keep on loving breathlessly.
Step over boundaries, throw open every single door,
Step over boundaries, throw open every single door,
The way you love me, keeps me calling out for more.
You seek adventure, and I like a little mystery,
You seek adventure, and I like a little mystery,
What we discover will make our own history.

Good Long Run
© Copyright 2014 by Michael Houlberg
Some things get better when given proper time
Just like the vintner knows to age the wine
Just like the baker knows to let the bread dough rise
The farmer picks the fruit when it reaches fullest size
Counting up the years, you know you’re still the one
We’re on the path, do the math,
Babe we’re on a good long run
We’re on a good long run
When we first started, married on the hill
There’s no guarantee we’d be together still
With love and persistence and a little luck our way
We keep going strong to love another day
Counting up the years, you know you’re still the one
We’re on the path, do the math,
Babe we’re on a good long run
We’re on a good long run
Our life is golden, there’s nothing that we lack
When times get difficult, we’ve got each other’s back
We’ve learned the secret to love that never ends
More than lovers, we’re really best of friends
Counting up the years, you know you’re still the one
We’re on the path, do the math,
Babe we’re on a good long run
We’re on a good long run
From back when we were young
We’d just begun
You’re still my number one
We’re on a good long run
And when the day is done
And night has come
We’re having so much fun
We’re on a good long run
I’m telling everyone
Warmed by the sun
You’re my only one
We’re on a good long run
Babe we’re on a good long run
We’re on a good long run

When You See Her Dance
© Copyright 2013 by Michael Houlberg
When you see her dance
You'll know what I mean
Feel your mind release
Let it lift you up
When you take her hand
Touch her ruby ring
Taste the lotus flower
Made of solid gold
Then you're dropping in
A Pacific wave
With a perfect curl
When you see her dance

Make It To The Top
© copyright 2016 by Michael & Marissa Houlberg
You say you’re feeling down you got the weight of the world on your back
You need a little help just to get yourself back on track
But don’t be discouraged if you can’t find a friend
‘Cause I’m always here to help you back up again
We're gonna lift you up
And make it to the top
We’ll get there ‘cause we’re
Never gonna stop
Gonna put you back
Where you belong
When we make it to the top
I know you’ve hit a low now you’re living in an empty nest
Those changes shouldn’t keep you from feeling that you’re at your best
I’m offering a new view a different way to feel success
Cause the past is filled with joy and the future is happiness
We're gonna lift you up
And make it to the top
We’ll get there ‘cause we’re
Never gonna stop
Gonna put your needs
Before my wants
When we make it to the top
When you’re on the top all your worries just melt away
And I’ll be behind you supporting you in every way
In every situation you know the right thing to do
With a smile on your face and your confidence shining through
We're gonna lift you up
And make it to the top
We’ll get there ‘cause we’re
Never gonna stop
Gonna put you back
Where you belong
When we make it to the top
