UNLEASHED Lyrics
Don’t let me Down
By Jose R. Gutierrez
I trusted you with my things with my life you know
Wanted to give us a try and break down the code
But what everyone thought will never be
You keep acting eighteen,
I trusted you now I have doubts
I welcomed you in my house
Don’t make me regret, oh hey hey hey
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down,
Turn it around, don’t be dramatical
You have no grounds, you’re not safe and sound,
There is no bound, you’re so irrational
I will not drown, I’ll stand my ground, don’t let me down, don’t be so radical
There is no good path laid down for you and me
Love is blind but what you’ve done can’t be unseen
This is risky no sense in going on
Falling apart has just begun
But I need for the world to see
Im standing tall, I’ll be fine you’ll see
Please grow up, there is so much I regret, oh hey hey hey
Don’t let me down, don’t let me down,
Turn it around, don’t be dramatical
You have no grounds, you’re not safe and sound,
There is no bound, you’re so irrational
I will not drown, I’ll stand my ground, don’t let me down, don’t be so radical
Sabotage
Feeling lonely I need company and I need it tonight
plenty of choices but can’t get her out of my mind
Whoa! A slippery slope and I give all her I got
I’m in the cycle again, and I know she is an easy drug to find
She comes an goes as she pleases, she breaks my heart in a million pieces
But every time she is with me is paradise
I can’t go one like this I will break
Is that sweet juice that makes your mind shake
Need to clear my head and stop my sabotage
We met hat the bar and I melted with her looks and her eyes
Everyone is looking what a shame that I don’t follow advise
The struggle and the chaos, inevitable temptation
They know where’s she’s been she’s the talk of the town she fools around
She comes an goes as she pleases, she breaks my heart in a million pieces
But every time she is with me is paradise
I can’t go one like this I will break
Is that sweet juice that makes your mind shake
Need to clear my head and stop my sabotage
The struggle and the chaos, inevitable temptation
Stop the madness stop the sabotage
She comes an goes as she pleases, she breaks my heart in a million pieces
But every time she is with me is paradise
I can’t go one like this I will break
Is that sweet juice that makes your mind shake
Need to clear my head and stop my sabotage
Under to the Sun
By Jose R. Gutierrez
It is 6:35 in the evening
Frost on the windows and ice on the porch
Winding down with a good shot of whiskey
Back in the day what used to be rum
It’s been much darker than I thought
I miss been under the sun
Want to go back to the sun
So many years Standing far in the distance
Growing differences in daily grinds
There is something about this that makes life weird, incomplete and restless
Maybe is time to find my way back
It’s so much wonderful at times
I miss been under the sun
Want to go back to the sun
I fell in love in the sun, To this day
My heart belongs in the sun… yeah
I miss been under the sun
Want to go back to the sun
Want to hear and sing the “le lo lai” again
Want to see the sights of my old town and the sand
Want to feel the sea breeze messing up my hair
Miss the smell of salty air that sticks to the skin
What is in the soul will never go away
I share my roots I want to give’em to those close to me
Your touch’s so warm your offsprings shine
I miss been under the sun
Want to go back to the sun
My heart belongs to the sun
Le lo lai le lo leila
Hitting The Town
By Jose R. Gutierrez
Everybody counting down
Everyone’s hitting the town
It is the end of my day, time for me to clock out
This kind of week would leave me dry would leave me out
Sir could you give me my pay, my friends are picking me up,
Is time for us to hit the town
What a way to start the Friday, happy hour, hit the booze
And we get the party started, we start getting in the groove
The day is over, don’t be slow, lets hit the road is time to go…
Friday night will set you free……
Get in the action come with me
Everybody’s counting down
Everybody be turned on
Everyone’s feeling the sound
Friday night will be profound
Everyone’s hitting the town
Hit it…
It is the middle of the night and we are still hanging with the clan
is getting late but energy still high
I drop down a benjamin and now everyone appears
Let tequila flow with beers
Running low on cash, there goes my credit card
I close my eyes and let it ride, and let the devil pay it last
Its loud, its late, working the crowd, we’ll stay until the sun comes out
Friday night will set you free……
Get in the action come with me
Everybody’s counting down
Everybody be turned on
Everyone’s feeling the sound
Friday night will be profound
Everyone’s hitting the town
Drop it…
“The instrumental is fantastic, it pleasantly combines the drums with the electric guitar. The strong rhythms achieve a good atmosphere, with a rude essence. The artist has talent!” Review by Overcharged on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/user/j4e3ely28dlbt502vn61bg9hx?si=0d1ca4dbe00d4b25
GIMME SOMETHING
By Jose R. Gutierrez
Since you’ve been around me, its been hard to understand is hard to get you
What is it you are after, is it me or is it lust your looking for
You kiss me, you push me, you hug me, you punch me, this is not easy
Why can’t this end in happy endings like damm movies like to show
Gimme something that I can believe in
Gimme something, show your love is strong
Gimme something solid to hold on to
Or baby believe it, I’m better off walking alone
I’m seriously getting tired of all this flip-flopping you got going on
(One day you say yes, the next you say no
One day we are on fire, the next you turn cold)
I think this will work if you can commit, if you settle down, if you come along
(You’re going to move in, but then move away
I’m all here for you, but I need you to pledge)
You kiss me, you push me, you hug me, you punch me, this is not easy
Why can’t this end in happy endings like damm movies like to show
Gimme something that I can believe in
Gimme something, show your love is strong
Gimme something solid to hold on to
Or baby believe it, I’m better off walking alone
Gimme something that I can believe in. (You better believe it)
Gimme something, show your love is strong (show me your love is strong)
Gimme something solid to hold on to (gimme sonething solid to hold on to)
Or baby believe it, I’m better off walking alone
I dont need someone like you by my side
Oh Im walking alone
Will She Ever
by Jose R. Gutierrez
Back in the day when we had big smiles
I had few friends we had good times
Spent days hanging at the bar
Roaming careless on a dime
Then we all froze when she came in
This can’t be real must be a dream
The sexiest woman in the world
I had to make a move on her
And we all see her walking down the street
our jaws drop down, bugs bunny style
our eyes pop out we don’t believe what we are seeing
Oh my she looks so good she looks so fine
and she knows it, you know she is all that
and I wonder if she’ll ever look at me.
I changed my ways, cleaned up my act
I pushed myself to first in line
Neat haircut, clean and a good shave
Bet anything she’ll love my face
I made a move I made a scene…
Mocking from my friends I feared
When she rejected me, said no
Oh what a woman, oh what a show
And we all see her walking down the street
our jaws drop down, bugs bunny style
our eyes pop out we don’t believe what we are seeing
Oh my she looks so good she looks so fine
and she knows it, you know she is all that”
and I wonder if she’ll ever look at me.
Not ashamed to try again
I wear a vest of confidence
I know this time it will work out you’ll see…
I make my move I make a scene…
And she said no, Oh she’s so mean
But something change, I think I scored
A smile I didn’t see before
CHORUS
There she goes she looks so good
she looks so fine so mean
I won’t give up, I’ll take my chance
but I wonder if she’ll ever…. if not now maybe later…. If she’ll ever ever look at me

LOVE BITES
By Jose R. Gutierrez
You can squeeze out of me
All the love that you want
You still light up my fire
I’ve been yours, I’ve been kind
And so I question your reasons
They lack truth, they tell lies
Think very well what you’re gonna do
You don’t have time on your side
You leave love bits behind, hoping you can still find me,
You leave love bits behind, hoping I’ll be here waiting
Yes you leave love bits behinds,
someone might picked them up it’ll be late for you
Is not that I didn’t love you
Is not that I didn’t care
In the end you chose poorly
And I’m not willing to wait
Funny how is you who’s now waiting
For me to welcome you back
Well Honey I have some news for you
This love’s no longer for grabs
Cause you left love bits behind, and you thought you’d still find me,
You left love bits behind, you thought I would be waiting
Yes you left love bits behind,
And someone else picked them up – is too late for you
I don’t have time for your nonsense
I wont give another tear for you
You had your chance and you messed up,
You left a hole in my heart babe,
you left me hanging in so much pain,
If you cant see what I’m made of,
Then you deserve what is coming,
If you can’t see where love takes us
Remove yourself, step aside
Cause you left love bits behind, and you thought you’d still find me,
You left love bits behind, you thought I would be waiting
Yes you left love bits behind, I guess you thought I’d be standing here waiting for you
You left love bits behind, Not a chance your mistaken, your wrong, get a clue
And someone else picked them up – is too late for you
Everything You Need
By Jose R Gutierrez
Who is that you want me to be
No shame in doing what I like to
No riches no good diamond ring,
I carry a guitar and a laptop
Please come with me with no regrets
Ill make you happy with a song I’ll be your friend
No fancy dinners but we’ll be more than OK
The lyrics sound unique and special
I know you want to stay, don’t be afraid
I might just have everything you need
Don’t waste your time, there is no point no more pretending
Forget about it
I might just have everything you want
You’ll see the world, you’ll feel the love, I’ll make you happy
Don’t know what will tomorrow bring
It’ll be the experience of a lifetime
And if the world then disagrees
We get to keep that yellow sunshine
When we get tired we’ll go home
We’ll carry memories, they’ll be written in stone
No need to live life on your own
Right by your side I’ll be forever
And if your feeling bored we’ll go again
I might just have everything you need
Don’t waste your time, there is no point no more pretending
Forget about it
I might just have everything you want
You’ll see the world, you’ll feel the love, I’ll make you happy
Unleashed
By Jose R. Gutierrez
It’s been a great run it’s an odyssey, gotta be an anomaly
there are no regrets no broken clarity, definite reality
But time has come to move on change the tune and play new sounds
Writing new chapters of my book of life get higher ground
Get moving hit the the street, get back autonomy, get sanity
Time to get home time to let powers be, the time is now…
Time to be unleashed
Will take a chance and play my lottery, monopoly, gonna win
Come follow we’ll have curiosity, is probably a novelty
And don’t look back there nothing there but stories good to tell
Wide open tracks so many places to see on our way
Get moving hit the the street, get back autonomy, get sanity
Time to get home time to let powers be, the time is now…
Time to be unleashed
I’m ready, lets go, is exciting who knows what I’ll find have to play have try avoid monotony
Nothing will happen if nothing gets done, get your wheels moving fast, get your rumbling come on turn it on
BACK IN THE SADDLE Lyrics
You say you need to get out of here
Getting uneasy, nothing makes sense anymore
You feel you’re drowning and there is no one for the rescue
You blame me
Is true I haven’t always been there for you
Year-long tours away from home and me fighting strangers
Place your trust in me you’ll see everything get better
And all this pain, will stay behind
Cause we are not dead in the water,
It’s you and me ruling the world and we’ll be better after
Hey it’s not over
So come on board and hang with me, there is no rhyme or reason destiny without you
If it aint with you.
Loneliness brings memories of you
Blue days turn much brighter when I remember your laughter
But we drifted away and you barely sought me after
You blamed me,
Is true I haven’t always been there for you
Year-long tours away from home and me fighting strangers
It won’t be long before we can drive away forever
And all this burn, will stay behind
Cause we are not dead in the water,
It’s you and me ruling the world and we’ll be better after
Hey it’s not over
So come along and hang with me, there is no rhyme or reason destiny without you
If it aint with you.
La ra ra…
If you don’t want to hang on, don’t blame me
Cause we are not dead in the water,
It’s you and me ruling the world and we’ll be better after
Hey its not over, don’t blame me…
Don’t blame me…
Now that I got your attention, allow me to give a suggestion
We don’t need much compensation, but you got to work our libations
Well its Friday night and we’re feeling alright, We pack up the gear hit the road for the bar
Excitement high we are so ready to jam, much like Billy Joel we need bread in that jar
Whoa! Check it out, people line up and they stay for the show,
I plug my guitar and I give it go and the crowd goes wild – esto es un bacilon!
But wait, something is missing, we are not clicking, I’m damn thirsty drooling spinning,
So I raise my very sad empty hand, and say common man Kevin is it too much to ask?
C’mon get busy behind that bar and pour a drink for me…
Now that I finally got your attention, having a good time as good as can be
Bartender don’t you dare give me rejection, be good and pour us a drink
We are in a really bad situation, we still stand with empty hands
Bartender you need to balance the equation, how about a round to the band
Now that I got your attention, we need some good comprehension
Looks like you need intervention, if we are to set a connection
We’ve been jamming all night and the groove is right, the room is packed & the party’s tight
Is getting real hot, is getting really noisy, is getting late and my mind is getting fuzzy
Now listen up, nothing has changed, this is getting old
We wanna have fun, we wanna Touch and GO! We wanna good damm drink, we wanna rock this show
But wait, something is missing, we are not clicking, I’m damn thirsty drooling spinning,
So I raise my very sad empty hand, and say common man Kevin is it too much to ask?
C’mon get busy behind that bar and pour (a drink for me…)
Now that I finally got your attention, having a good time as good as can be
Bartender don’t you dare give me rejection, be good and pour us a drink
We are in a really bad situation, we still stand with empty hands
Bartender you need to balance the equation, how about a round to the band
Hey bartender don’t be hatin’, bring happiness to the band
Open up that rum and bourbon, please put a drink in our hands
Some folks just know when they are ready to “tie the knot”, “take the plunge”, “get hitched”, or even “plight your troth” (not kidding, look it up!). Our fellow in the song is ready to do just that and has a musical way to express his intent. One of my first arrangements since I restarted to write music again.
MAYFLOWERS IN YOUR HANDS
Hey Hello… wanted to see you
Time to think about this, I feel we need to
I’ve been blinded by your light; I can hear my heartbeat rise
You stunned me with your beauty, can’t believe I got so lucky to meet you
Now I can’t get you out of my mind, no oh
It is time, to get serious
I’ve been waiting long and getting delirious
Never met someone like you, you bring colors to my blues
Bet you won’t regret a minute and you’ll want to spend the longest time with me
And bright fireworks will light the sky…
And there is love in the air
Sunshine hits your hair
I imagine us there…
and I’ll I want to see are May flowers in your hands
Come with me, I promise forever
I can’t stand the wait don’t push this for later
Just say yes and roll the dice, we’ll take winnings every night,
We belong together, hey the search is over and I’ll never find anyone like you
Please don’t be the one that gets away…
There is no time to waste,
Together ‘til the end,
I imagine us there…
and I’ll I want to see are May flowers in your hands
And there is love in the air
Sunshine hits your hair
I imagine us there…
and I’ll I want to see are May flowers in your hands
They are locked inside, all the good times together
Those were dreams of gold, our love bonded forever
you began to change, and I thought it was me, you were so fake
big mistake I made, falling real hard for you,
and now and will pay, your terrible crime, you leave behind my heart in pieces
Every time I think I see you, I go numb for days; no one is there to catch me, and my mind goes crazy thinking I messed up; will never know what could have, should have, would have been
Time has not been friendly to me, I can picture you and me still happy hanging, and I go to sleep while thinking of the broken chances of what could have, should have, would have been
Want to let you go, says my distorted mind, all the time
Please be far from here, let me fall out of sight, and out of your mind
don’t call anymore, leave me alone with my thoughts, and my life
If there is a god, who would spare me this pain,
I want to forget, your face and your eyes… you leave behind in my soul
Every time I think I see you, I go numb for days; no one is there to catch me, and my mind goes crazy thinking I messed up; will never know what could have, should have, would have been
Time has not been friendly to me, I can picture you and me still happy hanging, and I go to sleep while thinking of the broken chances of what could have, should have, would have been
Please stay away, don’t make this hard
Will not forget your face and eyes
But I will leave you far behind
Broken chances…. Of n what could have, should have, would have been
…2, 3, 4…
Everything in place and real, everything is just the way I wanted
But deafening silence hit my years, now it’s time the get the show back on the road
From your window can you hear? Inspiration roaming free
In the distance music flows back in the saddle, show goes on
Working my guitar, dancing on my keys
Taking in the dream, living in my gear
I lay down the road, rhythm takes control
Filling in the void, I know what I am
I’m a music man
Listen up, hear me out
Is the thing that makes us smile, is the thing that makes us do the graceful dance
I’ll stop only once I’m gone, I’ll take pride to be a humble music man
From your window can you hear? Complex waves hitting your ears
In the distance music flows, you get a front seat at the show
Working my guitar, dancing on my keys
Taking in the dream, living in my gear
I lay down the road, rhythm takes control
Filling in the void, I’m am a music man
I’m the music man
There’s been hardly any time to notice what’s been going on
Too much noise too much confusion, too much weight to carry on
I keep on swimming never getting any closer to shore
Flapping hard my wings and still the ground coming too close
It didn’t take too much to notice and to clearly realize
That you don’t want me to get there holding me close holding me tight
You think I only live for you — that I’m amused
C’mon, do you really think I’ll tolerate abuse
Stop dragging me down, you have to stop dragging me down
Step off, step out, just get out of the way
Now relax I’m not implying that I’ll leave you all alone
You have options, you have choices, If you want to tag along,
But now I dictate all the terms – conditions must be met
Or else I’ll drop you – clear off my road, out of the way
I refuse to keep this act, I refuse to be held back
Love has nothing to do with it but love is falling through the cracks
You fell so damn important — keep forgetting who I am
You stop me from trying from flying and you still don’t give a damm
Well no more, I’m done with you, done with your crap, my chance is due
It is my time, It is my prime — this is my truth,
And I will offer to the world as much there is of me to do
No longer you control me; now I’m free – and you will….
Stop dragging me down, don’t you dare come back around
you have to stop dragging me down, I’ll go insane and or I will drown
Stop pushing me around
Step off, step out, step back just leave me to stray,
Stop holding me down
I have, places to go, talent to show, ambition to grow just get out the way
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Le joda es en San Juan, y vamo alla a joder
So many memories and stories that we need to share, (and if you’ve been there you’ll appreciate you will relate)
If you are looking for a joda San Juan is DA place
It gets a little crazy with the Hangy Boys and Girls,
I can’t wait to get home and get together with my friends, (do a reunion again and so the weekend begins)
De la placita, (nos vamos para el Batey), pa la Tortuga (y a Los Hijos de Borinquen)
Termina en San Sebastian (y Dos Hermanos despues), dale Karate a ese hamburger y volvemos otra vez
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Living up Old San Juan, we feel alive again
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Le joda es en San Juan, y vamo alla otra vez
As you walk up you taste you smell you touch those good old friendship memories
No matter how many times we’ve been there we’ll do it again, (we’ll get to do this again, and again and again)
I get a parking ticket on my 69 green Beetle
It never mattered cause I got to see my homeboys again, (and on the Saturday night we get to close the weekend)
De Dona Fela, (subimos al Patio de Sam), y ya en la Sanse, (Medalla es lo que hay)
Mira ya vamos (que se hizo de manana), dale pal Churri mata el hambre y le caemos otra vez
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Living up Old San Juan, we feel alive again
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Le joda es en San Juan, y vamo alla otra vez
Walking the cobblestones, y vamo alla otra a joder
Si yo no hubiera nacido, en la tierra en que naci
Yo estuviera arrepentido de no haber nacido aqui
Walking the cobblestones hanging out with my friends
Le joda es en San Juan, y vamo alla a joder
