"Hey Alex, can I take 5 and go on stage?" tony asked.
"Go ahead; I'll do your intro."
Bianca was clearing off the tables in the back of the bar when she heard Alex's voice come over the speaker. "Now, our next performer is reponsible for getting you all drunk tonight. The one, the only, our resident cowboy...Tony Lucca!"
Tony was met with a very warm response from all the regulars. Bianca cheered especially loud. She quickly grabbed a chair.
Noticing she took a chair from JC's table, she asked "Do you mind?"
"Not at all. Is this guy any good?"
Bianca smiled. "Is he good? No one is better than Tony."
Tony adjusted the microphone and tuned up his guitar a bit. "I was going to wait until next week to sing something original, but oh well. I wrote this one with my partner in crime, Bianca. It's called 'Honestly For You." He took a big breath and began to play.
don't throw on all that make-up for me.
there aint a single part of you i wouldn't want to see.
ya see, make-up only makes up
for what's lacking on the inside and you ain't lacking babe.
and don't feel ya gotta dress no certain way.
there aint no statement you could make
that could say much more than you already say...say say
I say i hear you, babe...I hear yaw babe.
I hear you when you call for me-
when you're reachin' out to offer me
the sweetest taste of heaven
I hear you when you shout it out-
its love without a doubt now
i'm in your arms again
it's been so strong for so long
all i can do is hold on
and take you by surprise
when you make it home to my eyes...
where no one's gonna hold you any higher than i do
I'll lift you high-give you all the strenght of wings to fly, fly, fly
no one's gonna make it any clearer than i do-
clearly i love...but honestly, for you
you don't need to read up on the latest things
it aint no world of yours out there-the circus of magazines
they're just photo-opportunities, making you who they want you to be-
youre so much better yes you are
there ain't much you're gonna have to do for me
girl im yours so easily
i give you all of love's simplicity for free...feel free
feel free to take me, babe. just take me, baby.
take me where tomorrow lies-
where the white wings of the angels fly-
fly me high to heaven
take me where you want to go
cause girl you know i'll follow
you just tell me when
it's been so strong for so long
all i do is hold on and take you for a ride
girl you're finally home by my side
where no one's gonna hold you any higher than i do
i'll lift you high-give you all the strengh of wings to fly, fly, fly
no one's gonna make it any clearer than i do-
clearly i love..but honestly, for you.
When Tony finished he got the loudest hand out of all the people who got up on stage. JC was very impressed. Bianca, applauding loudly was holding back tears. she was so proud
"He was very good." JC said to her. "Um, who do i talk to, to get up on stage?"
"Follow me." She replied, leading him towards the bar. "What's your name?"
'Think fast chasez..' he thought to himself. "Jay Scott" She looked at him. "Do you sing or what?"
"Yeah, I sing."
"Okay."
Alex got up on stage again. "Now for the musical styling of Jay Scott."
