Def Leppard And Tim Mcgraw

Tim cowrote a song with Def Leppard called Nine Lives. Well its leaked, a online station in New Zealand has started playing it and now its all over Def Leppard's site. It will be the first single from their new album

The song is a killer, it really rocks and has one of the most catchy chorus I've heard in a long time.

The intro is very Honky Tonk Womanish, its Honky Tonk Woman meets Armageddon. I think DL is back to their good old Hysteria/Adrenalize roots!

They need to do a video, I can see it playing on that CMT Pure station, they played quite a variety of songs.

The words were posted on a few sites so here they are.

The first verse is only Tim singing.

Is your luck enough
Is your touch enough
C'mon girl can you keep it up
Is your bluff enough

This verse is DL

Are you tough enough
Is your stuff enough
Can you start it up
Are you sharp enough

This verse is Tim and DL

Let it roll, let em go, let em fly
Took a chance on a chance
But the aces are high
Get it on, give it up, give it in
You stole the wages of sin
Got to be in it to win

Nine lives, nine times to die(DL)
I've been bitten once (Tim)
But I won't be twice shy (Tim)

Nine lives, nine times to die
Come on and show me your hand
Cause it's your turn to cry
Have you lost your touch (DL)
Are the stakes too much (Tim)
Did you spin the wheel (DL)
And could you close a deal. (Tim)
Yeah,(TIM) yeah! (DL)

This verse Tim and DL
Let it roll, let em go, give em style
Took a chance on a chance
But the deuces were wild
Get it on, give it up, give it in
You stole the wages of sin
Cause you're in it to win

Nine lives, nine times to die
I've been bitten once
But I won't be twice shy
Nine lives, nine times to die (DL)
Come on and show me your hand
Cause it's your turn to cry (Tim)
Hey! (Tim)

Let it roll, let em go, let em fly
Took a chance on a chance
But the aces were high
Get it on, give it up, give it in
You stole the wages of sin
Got to be in it to win (Tim and DL)

Nine lives, nine times to die
I've been bitten once
But I won't be twice shy
Nine lives, nine times to die
come on and show me your hand
cause it's your turn to cry

Nine lives, nine times to die (DL)
I've been bitten once
But I won't be shy twice (Tim)
Nine lives, nine times to die (DL)
It's Russian roulette
with every roll of your dice (Tim)
And nine lives is all your're gonna get (DL)
I said all your're gonna get yeah (TIM)

Nine lives, nine times to die
You've just bitten less than your nine lives.(DL)

Tim And Faith's Daughter Maggie

Tim and Faith the last two nights did their Show with the Nashville Symphony, both looked stunning and Tim was in a tux. This is the shows that raised money to build 4 houses in Nashville for Habitat for Humanity.

Faith was using one crutch, looks like their middle daughter Maggie has broken her foot and now has a cast on her foot and is using two crutches. Two people in the house on crutches, thats a handful.

Tim Mcgraw Shaves His Head

From the Tennessean.com

McGraw hangs with local women

You might recall that People reported that a booth of four women witnessed Tim McGraw's impromptu jam session with Jimmy Fallon at the Beverly Hills Hotel bar Sunday. It turns out Tim was playing before his hometown crowd.

Hendersonville hairstylist Jodi Kirby, 41, and her daughter, Jessica, were in Los Angeles celebrating the birthday of her friend Michele Ray's daughter, Brandi. When Tim arrived, they didn't recognize him.

After discovering he was from Tennessee, one woman said, "Who are you?" and he said, "Tim McGraw." He was told, "I don't think so."

"He said, 'Pick a song,' and he sang three or four lines of it," Jodi said. "He took off his hat and showed us how he had to shave his head for the movie." (On Monday, Tim began filming the movie Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon.)

Tim sat at the piano and sang a new song before Jimmy came in and joined him. "It was the coolest thing," Jodi said. "We left at 2 and I think they were still there."

Not everyone was impressed: La Toya Jackson arrived but never made it through the door. "She didn't like all the commotion that was going on."
