Apple Pie Song 03:23
lyrics

APPLE PIE SONG (Strider/Hole) Is there anybody rich enough to buy your smile? Is there anybody bold enough to steal your style? Oh hey, hey, hey, hey Is there anybody brave enough to give you care? Oh I think so, and I ain’t scared You got eyes as sweet as an Apple Pie You got a body that’s kickin’ me deep inside Is there no one who can measure up to you? I know someone who can give you everything you crave I know someone who will love you, but you can’t enslave Oh hey, hey, hey, hey I’m the one who’s brave enough to give you care And I know it You got eyes as sweet as an Apple Pie You got a body that's kicking me deep Inside Is there no one who can measure up to you Reaching high into a brand new sky We could fly, maybe you wanna try With that someone who could measure up to you Measure up to you I can see straight into you Can you see my point of view? I can see straight into you Can you see my point of view? Something clean and true You got eyes as sweet as an Apple Pie You got a body that's kicking me deep inside Is there no one who can measure up to you Reaching high into a brand new sky We can fly, maybe you wanna try With that someone who can measure up you You got eyes as sweet as an Apple Pie Is there no one Who can measure up to you © 2003 Pacific Songworks BMI (p)2010 New Sky Records NCB license secured All Rights Reserved

MAGNOLIA TREE (Strider/Boesen) I can still smell the fragrance A warm summer’s night The blossoms were falling on shoulders and thighs Sometimes when I wake up I dream we are still Beneath the Magnolia Tree Beneath the Magnolia Tree___ Bathing in the moonlight Our skin in the breeze We were living our destiny We knew we believed Sometimes I dream we’ll wake up again Beneath the Magnolia Tree Beneath the Magnolia Tree (Instrumental Solo: electric guitar - Jon Strider) How long can I keep on longin’? When will I let go? I don’t know___ I can still smell the fragrance A warm summer’s night The blossoms fell around us and kissed us goodnight I wish I could wake up and we would still be Beneath the Magnolia Tree Beneath the Magnolia Tree © 2006 Pacific Songworks BMI ℗ 2010 New Sky Records NCB license secured All Rights Reserved

WORKIN’ IS FOR PEOPLE THAT DON’T KNOW HOW TO FISH (Strider/McGilpin) 6 a.m., another weekday mornin' And I jump right out of bed I’ve been workin’ overtime and I’m just about worked to death Then I open my eyes to a big blue sky And it hits me like a ton of bricks I’m gonna grab my fishin’ pole I’m gonna telephone in sick I go down to the river with a cooler of beer Find a shady tree and spend my whole day there Forget my troubles all I gotta do is hold the line It don’t matter if the fish don’t bite I’ll catch a little peace of mind Livin’ don’t get much better then this Workin’ Is For People That Don’t Know How To Fish I grab my box and bait, Got my four-wheel waitin’ I’m gonna ease on down the dirt road Gonna make my getaway to that shady little place I know ‘Cause I’ve been feeling too tired from workin’ too hard I need a little time to play Gonna kick off my shoes and cast these workin’ blues away I go down to the river with a cooler of beer Find a shady tree and spend my whole day there Forget my troubles all I gotta do is hold the line It don’t matter if the fish don’t bite I’ll catch a little peace of mind Livin’ don’t get much better then this Workin’ Is For People That Don’t Know How To Fish (spoken): "C'mon boys!" (Instrumental Solo: Pelle Jernryd - electric lap steel guitar) I go down to the river with a cooler of beer Find a shady tree and spend my whole day there Forget my troubles all I gotta do is hold the line It don’t matter if the fish don’t bite I’ll catch a little peace of mind Livin’ don’t get much better then this Workin’ Is For People That Don’t Know How To Fish My daddy always told me Son, remember this: Workin' Is For People That Don't Know How To Fish © 1997 Pacific Songworks BMI / 2RTunes ASCAP BMI ℗ 2010 New Sky Records NCB license secured All Rights Reserved

THERE’S A ROAD (Strider) Come here baby Come here quick I'm gonna getcha with my guitar pick Sayin’ I can make it baby all night long Wake up the mornin’ paper says I’ll be gone Now There’s A Road Lord knows There’s A Road There’s A Road, There’s A Road The one they call the rolling stone Ain’t got no family, got no kids Got my reasons for the things I did It ain’t no mystery It’s just who I am I took the wild way and I’m still standing There’s A Road Lord knows There’s A Road There’s A Road, There’s A Road The one they call the rolling stone (Instrumental solo: electric guitar - Pelle Jernryd) Wouldn’t wish this life on just anyone It’s been disastrous A whole lot of fun Just like a roller coaster, up and down Clear off the tracks I’m-a glory bound Now There’s A Road Lord knows There’s A Road There’s A Road, There's A Road The one they call the rolling stone There's A Road, There's A Road The one they call the rolling stone (Outro instrumental solo: electric guitar - Pelle Jernryd) (c) 2009 Pacific Songworks BMI (p)2010 New Sky Records NCB license secured All Rights Reserved

about

Jon says: "I had just come out of a really rough period. I wanted to make a fun, uplifting album that wakes you up in the morning and sounds great in your car. This album was created to make people feel good!"

Excerpt from the "Fresh Tracks" press release, February 2010: "Strider's 6th solo album takes his West Coast/Austin/Nashville influences to amazing new heights of singer-songwriter brilliance. A true story of an American immigrant. Scandinavia bound. Songs of love, hope and disillusionment, heartache and joy. Helped by Sweden's rising star producer, Amir Aly, the album's breakout hit single "Apple Pie Song" is a slice of pure pop perfection. Indeed, every one of these 'Fresh Tracks' is a sonic delight."
