WHEN YOU AND YOUR PARTNER ARE IN A GROOVE

“FIRE” by Ohio Players

“Well, I can tell by your game, you're gonna start a flame
In my heart, baby, baby
I'm 'bout to choke from the smoke, got to tighten up my stroke
Can you feel it, girl? Yeah
Got me burnin', got me burnin'
Fire”

You know our love will surely end”

FOR LATE NIGHTS IN THE HUT

“STRANGE GAME” by Mick Jagger

“There's always a hope
On this slippery slope
Somewhere a ghost of a chance
To get back in that game
And burn off your shame
And dance with the big boys again
It's a strange, strange game
Strange, strange game”

“EMPTY BEER CANS” by Jon Pardi

“Yeah, I'm gonna put in work
I'll tough it out
And I'll be alright and live it up
The power's in my hands
And the answer's in these beer cans.”
