I'll Get There
July
Jeff Riley
2026
“I’ll Get There” – by Jeff Riley – February 15th, 2026
You were no sinner; a catholic girl with pride
Then you met up with me and I took you for a ride
We end up at a bar, and I lost my head
He pulled out a pistol, shot at me, hit you instead
(Chorus)
I’ll get there but I’m here right now
Oh, I’ll get there but I don’t know how
I’ll get there
(Verse 1)
Been walking through these sticks
With one thing on my mind
Thinking how to get there and
How to get there on time
(Verse 2)
Lord knows I’m a sinner
I strayed from the flock
Need Him to forgive me
Before He stops my clock
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
It’s been a hard five years
Since the day you slipped away
Every day at church I
Hear your whisper as I pray
(Verse 4)
Been thinking about you
And the last time we kissed
When I get there to you
It’s the first on my list
(Chorus x2)

TWO THOUSAND YEARS
Another baby’s born again,
Born again,
And when that baby’s born again,
We’re born again…
Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, hoooo-hoooo,
Wo-oh-woah…
Two thousand years… ago,
They number the years,
Tell me why that is,
It’s a mystery to me…
All over the earth,
They celebrate the birth,
Of that little baby boy,
And it’s been…
Two thousand years… ago…
Another life comes to an end,
To an end,
And when that life comes to an end,
Our life begins… Life begins…
Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, hoooo-hoooo,
Wo-oh-woah…
Two thousand years… ago,
They number the years,
Tell me why that is,
It’s a mystery to me…
All over the earth,
They celebrate the birth,
Of that little baby boy,
And it’s been…
Two thousand years…......

Tattoos
July
shibes
2026
INTRO
Lines of ink buzzing over my skin
Truth and lies that end and begin
Add one more to remember you, cuz as
Life fades I need this tattoo
VERSE
Some people say I wear my heart on my sleeve.
But the story on my arm’s only meant for me.
Pictures from our past keep you close through time.
Like the ink, I need a path, a guide.
CHORUS
Tattoos – lines that leave their mark
Tattoos – sit between the light and the dark
I can always find you in a crowded room
My hand reaching out to point up to you
Tattoos – Tattoos for you
VERSE
You might of caught a glimpse of the wings on my back.
Broad enough to leave and never come back.
They can take me to heaven or hold me to the ground.
A reminder of everything I’ve lost and found.
CHORUS
Tattoos – feathers strong enough to fly
Tattoos – I’ll never stop asking why
But you’re always there in a crowded room
I’m reaching out to point up to you
Tattoos – this Tattoo’s for you
BRIDGE
With this ink in my bones I know – you’re never coming home.
CHORUS
Tattoos – lines that leave their mark
Tattoos – sit between the light and the dark
I’ll always find you in a crowded room
Reaching out ‘til I’m there with you
Tattoos – My Tattoos
Tattoos – My Tattoos for you Tattoos for you

Sapling

Sapling
By Dylan Brooks
Our little sapling barely taller than a weed
Has started sprouting in the sun
It feels like yesterday we just planted your seed
And yet your growth has just begun
I want to see your winding branches
And feel the cool breeze in your shade
It’s hard to lose the sapling we have now
My little bud, the son we’ve made
Your roots unsturdy leave you flopping to the ground
But our stakes guide you to the sky
So when the storm’s harsh winds come whistling around
We’ll keep you upright by your side
I want to see your winding branches
And feel the cool breeze in your shade
It’s hard to lose the sapling we have now
My little bud, the son we’ve made

A Little More Grace | Copyright © 2026 Rick Fagan Words & Music
[verse 1]
To be honest, I don’t want to be mean
I hate when people talk behind the scenes
I look in the mirror, take a reflective thought
It’s not that often my actions match my walk
[verse 2]
I get frustrated let people make me mad
I fail to notice if their day might be bad
Pause for a moment, step back, and take it in
Count my blessings and say a prayer for them
[pre chorus]
A little less talk - A little more thought
A little more smile – go the extra mile
Don’t say something I just might regret
Better yet – give extra space
[chorus]
A little more grace, a little more grace
Oh, a little more grace, just a little more grace
[verse 3]
I have moments when things don’t go my way
Consideration today is not my day
Not feeling great - please let me cut in line
Glad I pay it forward when the bad day is mine
[Instrumental Bridge]
[pre chorus]
A little less talk - A little more thought
A little more smile – go the extra mile
Don’t say something I just might regret
Better yet – give extra space
[chorus]
A little more grace, a little more grace
Ah, a little more grace, just a little more grace
[outro]
A little more grace, a little more grace
Give a little more grace, just a little more grace

Dad’s a Beatles fan, mom’s favs are George Strait and Jones
Radio station blaring songs of the Rollin Stones
Beatles tune Rocky Raccoon and Micks’ Honkytonk Woman
Ready to dance with the ladies, feel a change a coming
[chorus]
Rock some country the way to go
Alabama and the Rolling Stones
Some Allen Jackson and a U2 tune

In Texas it’s a two step to a country song
Rock and roll to let your hair hang down
Hearing country music coming from the ceiling
Blasting radio hits upstairs, Neighbor’s a reelin.

Her words, “like the way you kick it makes me feel fine
Let’s dance til closing time

Some Allen Jackson and a U2 tune
Keeps me up under a neon moon

Friend

Friend by Jim Robeson
I’ve got something that you need
everyone needs a friend
based in hospitality
someone to depend
if there’s something that you need
if I can lend a had
you be you
I’ll be me
just so we understand.
no more chasing dollar dreams
don’t have to ask the price of things
a friend doesn’t cost you anything
but dependability
when you have a friend you see
you can even sing off key
cmon through the twisted gates
see the stars shine
don’t care who you voted for
you have yours I got mine.
ding dong what’s the hesitation
ding dong no mental masturbation
ding dong where’s the jubilation
world gets heavy
words fall short
I’ll be (silent) here in your support
break
if you had a second chance
would you leave the world behind
lose your troubles and circumstance
have some peace of mind
no more chasing dollar dreams
don’t have to ask the price of things
friends don’t cost anything
just dependability
when you have friends like me
you can even sing off key

Do you Know Me? R1
Verse 1
All alone in this cold world
Too afraid to be bold
No one will speak to me
You pass me distantly
Verse 2
I don’t dress like you
I don’t talk like you
Not a neighbor or friend
I’m not there, you pretend
Chorus 1
Do you know me?
Do you see me?
Did I disappear?
Look at me.
See me
I’m standing right here
Please let me know
You care
Verse 3
There are many like me
If you look to see
We’re too plain to notice
Many just dismiss us
Verse 4
A stranger I might be
A friend I could be
With no claim to fame
But I do have a name
Chorus 2
Do you know me?
Do you see me?
Did I disappear?
Look at me.
See me
I’m standing right here
Please let me know
You care
Bridge
If someone could say
Good morning
How are you?
Have a good day
Thank you
Or just please stay

See me
I’m standing right here
I want you to know

The Grass Ain’t Always Greener
Lyrics by Patricia T Bishop –
Music/melody/vocals by Keith Bradford
V1
I can feel things between us haven’t been the same
Even the way you used to call my name
I was hoping it was only my imagination
That’s not true, it’s too big … of a change
Chorus
Cuz when I greet you at the door to give you a kiss
You turn your face away on purpose so I’d miss
What have I’ve done to deserve this?
Darlin’ what are you trying to hide????
Cuz the grass ain’t always greener on the other side
No, the grass ain’t always greener on the other side
V2
I started thinking this morning after my third coffee cup
When I put two and two together it started adding up
Lately my old friend’s been coming around
Telling you right now, I ain’t putting up with that stuff
Chorus
Yea, when I greet you at the door to give you a kiss
You turn your face away on purpose so I’d miss
What have I’ve done to deserve this?
Darlin’ what are you trying to hide????
Cuz the grass ain’t always greener on the other side
No, the grass ain’t always greener on the other side
Bridge
Oh, I know he has more money than me
I also know how he can be
If you think you’re the only one he sees
Better think twice before you also lose me
Chorus
So, when I greet you at the door to give you a kiss
Don’t turn your face away on purpose so I miss
I haven’t done anything to deserve this
Darlin’ you’ve got no place to hide !!!
And the grass ain’t always greener on the other side
No, the grass ain’t always greener on the other side

Fishing Problem
Dan DeHart
We live in San Leon is on Galveston Bay
Not far from Houston, but far enough away
It’s a fishing town with so many bars
We drive golf carts, we don’t need our cars
But when it’s time for fishing, we are snoring away
The drinking last night just got in our way
Chorus
Yeah, we got a fishing problem in this drinking town
We drink and drink and drink until the bars close down
When it’s fishing time we are count’n’ sheep
When the alarm goes off we are fast asleep
People come here just to get away
And talk about fishing while drinking all day
They pass around guitars, till the bars close down
Then set their alarms, but they don’t hear a sound
they say it’s too windy for fishing today
That’s really not the problem, it’s just what they say
Chorus
Yeah, we got a fishing problem in this drinking town
We drink and drink and drink until the bars close down
When it’s fishing time we are count’n’ sheep
When the alarm goes off we are fast asleep
lead break
Bridge
The season may be short for some kinds of fish
But the season here for drinking is a long as we wish
So if you think you want to go fishing down here
paddle on down and we’ll buy you a beer
But, don’t expect someone to go with you to fish
You’ll be all alone, that’s just the way it is
The bay’s all yours, fish anywhere you wish
We’ll meet you at the bar, at oh say 10ish.

One of the few

Alan Young
2026
One of the few
Verse 1
When the evening comes
I say goodnight to the sun
I pray that the world has a peaceful one
In slumber I find harmony reunite with my self
Release all my worries and let calm be my
sail
Chorus
I battle demons in my heart
I have danced with shadows hiding in the dark
(1st ) I have leaned toward the edge but not enjoyed the view
(2nd) I have leaned toward the edge
but never did fall through
(3rd) I have leaned toward the edge
But now enjoyed the view
Circumstances have made me one of the few
Circumstances have made me one of the few
Verse 2
I have lost all I want
But still have what I need
Such a unique performance of a personal feat
I have challenged my existence
I have heed to the call
Wondering through the wilderness but still standing tall.
Bridge
Hanging on the threshold time.
Waiting for the moment,
And where to draw the line,
Timeless loss
Sacrifice
At what cost
Verse 3
This circle I have traveled Has taken quite a turn
Reality has set in and maybe I have learned
Day by day to conquer These flashbacks of the past
Open up my eyes to see my life will last.

That Same Song
July
Erik “The Orchestra” Teixeira
2026
[Verse 1]
It seems I’m singing that same song again
I just can’t get it off my mind
No matter what I do or where I’m supposed to be
I seem to sing it all the time
[Chorus]
Cause it’s the same song I’m singing
And I wish that I knew more
Then this same song I always seem to sing
I wanna be more than the singer of this song
This song will be the end of me
[Verse 2]
I try and try and try to sing something new
To get some new words on my lips
But when I try to sing all I sing in this song
This song that I can’t seem to quit
[Chorus]
Cause it’s the same song I’m singing
And I wish that I knew more
Then this same song I always seem to sing
I wanna be more than the singer of this song
This song will be the end of me
[Instrumental Section]
[Chorus]
Cause it’s the same song I’m singing
And I wish that I knew more
Then this same song I always seem to sing
I wanna be more than the singer of this song
Sometimes this song is singing me
[Outro Verse]
It seems I’m singing the same song today
Wish I had more than this to say
Wish I had more than this to say
Wish I had more than this to say

Vs 1 When I was just a child, free and running wild, I drove my mother crazy everyday Those things I did were wrong, I’m going to miss her when she’s gone. I remember those old words she used to say Chorus- She’d said now. Don’t bring me flowers to my grave son. Don’t bring me flowers to my grave. Love me while I’m living. It shows when you behave. But don’t bring sweet flowers to my grave. Vs 2- Now she was the type of lady, who gave all that she had. The way we treated her, kind of makes me sad. She’d empty out her pockets, to put food on our plate. Then serve herself last when it’s time to eat. Chorus- She’d said now. Don’t bring me flowers to my grave son. Don’t bring me flowers to my grave. Love me while I’m living. It shows when you behave. But don’t bring sweet flowers to my grave. Vs 3 Looking back at momma, I can’t forget the past. My love for her, will forever last. She gave her life for us, never thought it was a chore. They don’t make those kinds of gals like that no more. Chorus- She’d said now. Don’t bring me flowers to my grave son. Don’t bring me flowers to my grave. Love me while I’m living. It shows when you behave. But don’t bring sweet flowers to my grave

When She Calls
July
Jan Lepicovsky
2026
I was lonesome, and I was blue
Didn’t have a friend to see me through
So I rambled, and I roamed
Until I lost may way back home
I kicked lonesome out the door, I don’t need her anymore
But when she comes back, back my way
I’ll take her in when she calls my name
I was jealous, of my friends
Of their easy ways and their confidence
So I worked hard, on myself
Tried to be somebody else
I said goodbye to jealousy, she was not the gal for me
But now and then, when I miss the pain
I take her in when she calls my name
Just play the cards that you inherit
Play the part, yeah grin and bear it
Protect your heart, but please share it
Trouble will disappear
Trouble will disappear
Like snow in the spring
I see you worry, and I see you fear
When I think too much, and things get weird
There comes a time, to make a change
It’s one of those things that comes with age
I’m gonna leave you far behind, I don’t want you in my life
And when you’re gone, gone far away
I won’t hear when you call my name
I won’t hear when you call my name

CITY OF GOLD
We walked through the jail,
Looking for a thief,
We found our brother,
They won’t let him leave,
We found our brother,
They won’t let him leave…
We walked through the park,
Looking for a dog,
We found our sister,
They won’t let her talk,
We found our sister,
They won’t let her talk,
CHORUS
Walking through that city,
Made of Gold,
Yes, we’re walking through a city,
That’s so, so COLD, Woa, woa, woh…
Where are the minute men,
Come to save the day,
We’ve lost our Father,
They won’t let us pray,
We lost our Father,
Heaven let us pray…
Try with all our might,
To change the way we are,
Searching for answers,
In our pretty cars,
There are no answers,
In our pretty cars…
CHORUS
Walking through that city,
Made of Gold,
Yes, we’re walking through a city,
That’s so, so COLD, Woa, woa, woh…

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take…
Walking through that city,
Made of Gold, Woa, woa, woh…
Now we’re in the dark,
Could this be the day,
Now there is nothing,
Nothing’s in the way,
No there is nothing,
And nothing’s in the way…
We walked through the gates,
Much to our surprise,
We found our father,
Water in His eyes,
We found our father,
With water in His eyes…
CHORUS
Walking through that city,
Made of Gold,
Now we’re really walking through a city,
Of shining Gold,
Woa-woa Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep Ahoo, Ahoo,
Woa-woa Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep Ahoo, Ahoo,…

Of shiny Gold,

Don't Worry About Me
Don’t you worry about me
I’ve been chasing all my dreams
I may not know it all
brought down so many walls
may not be a lot
but this is what I’ve got
She lives on her throne of lies
just a dark facade
but her hates disguise
she never heard
the thoughts I cried
she always felt
she was justified
don’t you worry about me
certain things shouldn’t be said at all
I have said my goodbyes
I’ve moved on and
built my own walls
don’t you worry about me
I’m the one that’s free
I’m not weighed down with regret
started off afraid
and that’s been said
I don’t care what they say
my debt is fully paid
I have gone away
I will leave the walls this way
she sits on her throne of lies
just a dark facade
but her hates disguise
she never heard.
the thoughts I cried
she always felt
she was justified
and I have said my goodbyes
I moved on and
I can’t turn things around
you can wear your disguise
I will always have my own crown
don’t you worry about me
I have everything I need.
Don't you worry about me
Im The One that's free

Downcast 42
June
Bruce Fogelsong
2026
Chorus
Why are you, so downcast, oh my soul?
Why do you, melt within me, oh my soul?
Verse 1
A walk through the valley, is fine right until
You place a foot badly, and take a hard spill
Now clouds fill my vision, my backs on the ground
I send a petition, please let me be found
Verse 2
What is this dark cover, that's blanketing me
Like waves rolling over, an angering sea?
I stretch for the surface, so desperate for air
So frightened so nervous, can I make it there?
Verse 3
Who is it that's calling , my name after me
The syllables falling, as deep cries to deep?
As courage is meeting, the end of the rope
I'm close to believing, beginning to hope
Verse 4
Where am I heading, which country my goal
A vision starts spreading, that strengthens my soul?
Could I claim the favor, to enter the tent
That houses a savior, my friend Heaven sent?
Bridge
Shine down Your light, shine down your light
Shine down Your light, into this black hole
Come on untie, the knots in my soul
Outro
Why are you, so downcast, oh my soul?
Hope in God, who will heal you, oh my soul
Trust in God, He will save you, oh my soul

Stadiums, concert halls, smokey bars -pour whiskey and beer
Perform number one hit, extending our careers.
Thanks to fans supporting the band.
Cheering crowds at airport gates, there when we land.
[chorus]
We’re a one-hit wonder in a book of lists,
trying for one more hit
Five of us came this far, not ready to quit.
Closing in on the final stage-
Workin hard to find that second hit
[verse]
Roadies and crew members load gear and haul to venues.
Long days on the road, order from fast food menus.
Managers’ contract one-sided causing fits,
Won’t let the band down, working on a second hit.
[chorus]
We’re a one-hit wonder in a book of lists,
trying for one more hit
Five of us came this far, not ready to quit.
Closing in on the final stage-
Workin hard to find that second hit
[verse]
Age starting to show, turn them lights down low.
or put on a Kiss mask, no one would know.
Recording time in studio- laying down a track.
Last song to fulfill our manager’s contract.
[chorus]
We’re a one-hit wonder in a book of lists,
trying for one more hit
Five of us came this far, not ready to quit.
Closing in on the final stage-
Workin hard to find that second hit

Climbed straight to the top, six weeks it stayed
not a two hit wanna be- we’re a Two-hit wonder,
on road for our farewell show,We’ll ride it out with all our thunder.

Ground Beef
By Dylan Brooks
Everyday i wake at 6:00 o clock
Roll outta bed and jump in my jock
I hit the the gym to blast all my muscles
Look at me the great American hustle
I gargle protein after brushing my teeth
I load up my breakfast with egg whites and meat
I hit my macros feed my muscles with fuel
Look at me I’m so American cool
I’m ground beef - i’m what you want
I’m ground beef - i’m what you need
I’m ground beef - look at me
I’m ground beef - AAAAAAHHAHAHA
Getting my gear is a pain in the butt
Got tren libido and addicted to smut
Thrusting my hips at anything that moves
Look at me I’m so American smooth
I’m not gay I just admire physique
Arnold Schwarzenegger tat on each cheek
My veins are bursting as i’m barrelling by
Look at me I’m so american high
I’m ground beef - i’m what you want
I’m ground beef - i’m what you need
I’m ground beef - look at me
I’m ground beef - AAAAAAHHAHAHA
Just Brown me up, glisten with grease, i’m oozing cheese, let’s have some fun
here for a good time, not for a long time, so slide me down in between your buns
I’m ground beef - i’m what you want
I’m ground beef - i’m what you need
I’m ground beef - look at me
I’m ground beef - AAAAAAHHAHAHA

Promaja by Loreta Kovacic
E c#7
Croatian summer crawls inside my bed. E
Sweat decorates a stubborn forehead c#7
100 degrees makes me feel insane. g#/b A
Inside this paralyzed brain. E
Promaja! c#7. B7. A. E
Victorious heat defeats the comfort
Sweat glistens and tensions rise
Standing to fight I am week in the knees
Insanity creeps into a child’s eyes
Promaja!
I don’t think that draft is a killer but
That’s not Croatian at all. Not at all.
Hoarder house makes me feel so small.
Nona needs to vent the house
Nona needs to face the breeze
Promaja can kill they all believe but
Heat is melting prsut and cheese
Promaja.
Knives glisten and stay unguarded
Slicing through an innocent bread
Hot air gets serious and heavy
Insanity creeps into a child’s head
Promaja.
This old house is too old for change.
Hot air feels troublesome and strange
Years of bad karma scarred her walls
Whispering of drug comas and lost souls
Promaja!
I don’t think that draft is a ……
I’ll be back in winter time.
I don’t think that draft is a killer.
I’ll be back in winter time!
“Promaja” means a draft in Croatian. Culturally they believe that draft causes all kinds of problems illnesses, etc.

How I Sing You | Country | Copyright © 2026 Words & Music Rick Fagan
Start with a melody clean and clear on top
Let it carry the story every word plays a part
Then add a voice a third above soft and close like a friend
Another third below that strong and steady underneath
Keep consonants tight together let the vowels ring long
So, the harmony wraps your melody like a frame around your song
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
These crazy notes alone aren't strange chords (Stay simple)
Lean on the root and the fifth; let your heart wander
Then add a voice a third above on the easy sweet notes
Another third below that on the root of the chord
And breathe when you need too, so the harmony lifts each moment
But the center stage's all you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) And that's how I sing you
Then add a voice a third above on the easy sweet notes
Another third below that on the root of the chord
Shape the phrase of the best line; let the love come through
And that's how I sing (How I sing, how I sing) you
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

You hear me when I call. There is no prayer too small
When I silently rejoice, or cry out with my voice
In the ways that life can twist, what a privilege it is
To be known by You

You’re watching over me. You guide me constantly
When the road is too long, to travel on my own
In the ways that life can twist, what a privilege it is
To be known by You

Knowing You bring mercies
That won’t go away
I pray You’ll always find me in
Your never ending grace
Love that meets me where I am
I put my life in Your hands
I am known by You!

This is where I want to stay. ’Til I live my final day
When You raise me from this earth. Where I’ll find my eternal worth
In the ways that life can twist, what a privilege it is
To be known by You

Bridge Bait
Dan DeHart
Copyright 2026
Just south of Houston, near Surfside
Under the bridge, there's a shrimper outside
Just a waterfront dive, it would appear
With a good boat launch and real cold beer
Jack holds court from a table in the rear
Always smiling, ear to ear
So come on in, any time of year
And cast your troubles right off of Jack's pier
Chorus
At Bridge Bait you can have a lot of fun
Bring your friends, and bring your own rum
At Bridge Bait you can come as you are
you can even play Jack's guitar
Verse 2
[harmonica fills between lines]
The music is loud, they play for tips
or even play free when they get ripped
They don't sell grub, only cookies and chips
But people bring food in a covered dish
You can watch the game in the satellite dish
Or watch those anglers cleaning their fish
And listen to the lies about the one that got away
How they'll have him in the box one day
Solo
Bridge
So don't take my word for it
See for yourself, it;s like no place else
Leave your stress at the door
It doesn't really matter if it rains or pours
Verse 3
At Bridge Bait there's no fancy tiki bar
You can even smoke a great big cigar
At Bridge Bait you can spend the afternoon
stay all day then howl at the moon
Chorus 2
At Bridge Bait you can have a lot of fun
You can even bring your own rum
At Bridge Bait you can come as you are
And you can play Jack’s guitar
At Bridge Bait there’s no fancy Tiki bar
you can smoke a great big cigaaar
At Bridge Bait you can spend the afternoon
Stay all day and howl at the moon

Hey! Have you looked at yourself lately?
Yeah well …….
Verse 1
I just might be a little overweight
I don't look all that great
Yeah, I know I'm past my prime
I’m still here, that’s a pretty good sign
I've been rode hard & put up wet
I’ve had days I'll never forget
Earned every grey hair on my head
Some think I ought to be dead
Chorus
This is me
Good or bad
What you see
Not some fading fad
This is who I am
This is what you get
I am what I am
I have no regrets
This is me
Verse 2
You say I should clean up my act
Before I have a heart attack
At your age you better take it slow
I tell you man, you just don’t know
I’ve already given up my beer
And most of the foods that I held dear
I don't need any more exercise
To fade away before your eyes
Chorus
Bridge
Why don't you let me be me
I don't need anything, you see
So just let me be
This is me
Chorus

So just let me be
This is me
Ok, but I’m keeping my eye on you

“What ’cha Gonna Do” – Written by Jeff Riley
(Chorus)
What ‘cha gonna do when the bodies are found
What ‘cha gonna think when there’s no one around
Who’s gonna say “hey, son, won’t you pick up that gun!”
Where you gonna hide when there’s nothin’ inside
(Verse 1)
Where you gonna run to, honey
What ‘cha gonna do when it’s all gone
Who’s gonna tell ya what side you’re on
(Chorus)
What ‘cha gonna do when the bodies are found
What ‘cha gonna think when there’s no one around
Who’s gonna say “hey, son, won’t you pick up that gun!”
Where you gonna hide when there’s nothin’ inside
(Verse 2)
Hey, won’t ‘cha say where we’re goin’
Are you afraid of all the people knowin’
I ain’t gonna run, I’m gonna pick up the fight!
(Chorus)
What ‘cha gonna do when the bodies are found
What ‘cha gonna think when there’s no one around
Who’s gonna say “hey, son, won’t you pick up that gun!”
Where you gonna hide when there’s nothin’ inside

Hey, won’t ‘cha think where ya goin’
Why don’t you run while we’re showing up
What ‘cha gonna do when there’s nowhere to go

Elevator Operator

(Verse 1)
When I was a young boy
My mama asked me son
When you grow to be a man
What will you become
Will you be a doctor, a lawyer or a thief
When I told her of my dream
She gasped in disbelief
(Chorus)
When I grow up I want to be
An elevator operator
In my elevator we will rise, rise, rise
Oh I will be the epitome
Of an indoor aviator
To your destination we will fly
(Verse 2)
I’ll have a bright brass buttoned
Double breasted monkey suit
Top it off with a no-bill
Pill box hat and polished boots
Sunny smile from ear to ear
Yes, ma’am, I’ll hold the door
Your button I will gladly push and
Take you to your floor
(Chorus)
(bridge)
All on board, mind the door
Step into my car
Non-stop, straight to the top
Your pilot to the stars
(pause)
(Verse 3)
Now that I am older
And reality calmly speaks
passing time and technology
made my dream obsolete
Still every time I step up to
Those gilded gliding doors
That’s when I’m reminded of
My childhood dream once more

The Secrets of Concordain
June
Erik “The Orchestra” Teixeira
2026
[Narration]
As the days passed into years and on into centuries, so too did the Drakken Wulf pass into legend and eventually faded from the minds of those who would call Concordain home.
Many generations later, a child named Hanya, frustrated by what life in Concordain had become would stumble upon an ancient library and the secrets of Concordain.
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Concordain, sullen and lonely is your song
A verse that keeps repeating without refrain
But now I hear a harmony that doesn’t seem to belong
And a countermelody that I can’t explain
[Chorus 1]
That’s when you showed me that something I’ve never seen before
Hiding your treasures so that they may never be seen again
But then in a flash, I felt another change
And you faced away and on went your song
Concordain
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
And in the end, all of the magic here had gone
Only boredom and monotony remains
But still I see, as though my vision became clear
How the thin veneer had melted off the frame
[Chorus 2]
Because you showed me that something I’ve never seen before
Hiding your treasures so that they may never be seen again
Concordain, you hid your mysteries in vain
And forever will I sing in your name, Concordain

Victim of a lie

VICTIM OF A LIE [Verse 1] His eyes are piercing, as he cast his spell on you.His breath can't hide the stench; of a tongue he split in two. He came from the garden, of promises and lies. When they tried to hide from him, he seen through their disguise.
[Refrain] They became the victim of a lie. They became the victim of a lie.
[Verse 2] I know you've seen his face, a thousand times before. You'll try to hide from him, but he knows who you really are. Even little children, keep dark secrets that they hide. They'll choke up little tears, and keep them bottled up inside.
[Refrain] They become the victim of a lie. They become the victim of a lie.
[Verse 3] People don't despise a thief, to fill his hungry soul. 'Cause when he's caught, he pays them back, he'll give the sevenfold. But he who steals another's love, there's nothing he could pay. An eye an eye a tooth for tooth awaits his judgment day.
[Refrain] Then he becomes a victim of a lie. He becomes a victim of a lie.
[Verse 4] A lie enslaves you, and the truth will set you free. You'll look in your mirror, still you don't like what you see. And I've been a victim, and a perpetrator too. 'Cause what comes around goes around, it circles back to you.
[Refrain]
When you become the victim of a lie. When you become the victim of a lie. When you become the victim of a lie.

My baby left home,
A long time ago,
And then in a dream,
She said to me…
Don’t you take this too seriously,
Everyone comes home,
Eventually…
Don’t you take this too hard anyone,
Everyone comes home,
Every one…
I remember that dream,
Through the years gone by,
How I wish I could hear,
Just one more time…
Don’t you take this too seriously,
Everyone comes home,
Eventually…
Don’t you take this too hard anyone,
Everyone goes home,
Yes, every one…
My baby went home,
Many years ago now,
I remember a dream…
Don’t you take this too seriously,
Everyone comes home,

Don’t you take this too hard any one,
Everyone comes home,

Dad built the house
She made the home
She wrote the script
We played the roles
Raised 5 ol’ boys
If you include my dad
We weren’t the best
But, we’re what she had
Pre-Chorus:
Left a town so small
Little farmers girl
Travelled all around
To find her family was her world
Chorus:
Who’d have thought that country girl
Would get out and see this big ol’ world
Italy, Rome and Curacao
I wonder what she’s thinking now
When she looks back on her life
Well, I hope she gets it right
Through the turmoil and the strife
She never let it dim her light
So many times, she jumped right in
Even if she didn’t fit
She was always winning
She’s the girl who did it
Verse II:
There by the sink
Radio on
Washin’ dishes
Singin’ George Jones
Mom feeds her boys
Food for the soul
In an off-white Apron
Her family’s whole
Pre-Chorus:
Left a town so small
Little farmers girl
Travelled all around
To find her family was her world

I wonder what she’s thinking now
When she looks back on her life
Well, I hope she gets it right

She never let it dim her light
So many times, she jumped right in
Even if she didn’t fit
She was always winning
She’s the girl who did it

Ballroom dances
See the pictures on the wall
Shows her world ain’t so small

Why Is Just The Beginning of You

“Why Is Just The Beginning of You” – Written by: Jeff Riley (April 13th, 2023)
(Verse 1)
You went drifting downtown, like a high school dropout
Just hoping that someone might take a chance on you
There you were on the corner when a dark limo pulled up
And yet why is just the beginning of you
(Chorus)
Sometimes you wake up in the morning, all alone
And all you can do is question “why”?
You hide from the bright blue breeze of morning, in your dark cloud
And you don’t have to explain why
(Verse 2)
There’s green in your eyes but your red lips scream stop
Your flinty whisper when you try to impress
Those cold wet streets can’t compete with your industry hi-tops
And yet why is just the beginning of you
(Chorus)
Sometimes you wake up in the morning, all alone
And all you can do is question “why”?
You hide from the bright blue breeze of morning, in your dark cloud
And you don’t have to explain why
(Verse 3)
The way your hair hugs your shoulders while your eyes softly pierce me
Or is it just another way for you to get me undressed
Your shadow's so hollow, looks like you float across the room
And yet why is just the beginning of you
(Bridge)
The choices we make last forever
But how’d we let this one slip?
Don’t let your guard down so easy
And stay away from the strip
(Chorus)
Sometimes you wake up in the morning, all alone
And all you can do is question “why”?
You hide from the bright blue breeze of morning, in your dark cloud
And you don’t have to explain why

LUCKY ONES- written by Rob Carranza
Growing up all my friends they were the chosen ones
I look to the sky and asked God why am I such an ugly one
And then I see you next to me
And you’re sleeping so peacefully in my arms
And now I see im a lucky one
Yeah I’m a lucky one
Im older now im a lucky one
And I won’t let you go this time!
Looking through this life I see people with no one
They have no one
They look to the sky from the streets
And ask God for mercy
Is He not pleased
And then I see you next to me
And you’re sleeping so peacefully in my arms
And now I see I’m a lucky one
Yeah I’m a lucky one
I’m older now I’m a lucky
And I won’t let you go
So please don’t forget my eyes today

Reign of the Drakken Wulf
May
Erik “The Orchestra” Teixeira
2026
[Narration]
Deep in the recesses of time
In a land long forgotten
There lived an ancient people
Who spoke an ancient tongue
These were the people of Concordain
The keepers of forbidden knowledge
Whispering stories of great elder gods
That ruled the heavens with an iron fist
And this is their tale of the Reign of the Drakken Wulf
[Verse]
Long ago when the land was young
And the monsters ruled the skies and the seas
It is told that the Drakken Wulf
Terrorized the mind of each and every beast
So ruthlessly it conquered all it pleased
[Pre Chorus]
Until the day of its reckoning
The consequence of a brutal reign
The Drakken Wulf would give up the throne
Descending on the land of Concordain
[Chorus]
Where the Drakken Wulf will live on
Consumed in blazing fire
And the Drakken Wulf will live on
A living funeral pyre
And the Drakken Wulf will live on
Forever in its shame
And the Drakken Wulf will live on
The burning heart that beats for Concordain
[Verse]
For centuries it languished there
Exhausted from a lifetime of attack
Until the mortals discovered it
And made their homes upon its mighty back
For generations peace remained intact
[Pre Chorus]
But other strangers would soon arrive
Under the spell of the enemies
The Drakken Wulf would explode in rage
Incinerating everything it sees
[Chorus]
And the Drakken Wulf will live on
Consumed in blazing fire
And the Drakken Wulf will live on
A living funeral pyre
And the Drakken Wulf will live on
Forever in its shame
And the Drakken Wulf will live on
The burning heart that beats for Concordain
[Post Chorus]
Forgotten by the world, it remains
Alone and isolated with its pain
Until the time to waken once again

Swinging on the front porch,
Counting freight cars, playing cards
Chasing fireflies and climbing trees,

She’d keep up with all us boys,
always strong, and always loud
She’d school us all in whiffle ball,
And made her Mama Proud

And as we all grew older, we were sure we’d always find
A little bit of Texas in Cousin Caroline

She’s still Pretty as a bluebonnet,

Industrial Revolution

(V1)
Five fingers such an elegant design
The uses confined only by mind
They could climb mountains, they could knead bread
Bring forth the wonders all locked in my head
(V2)
But I’m not a man of means
No flights of fancy, no far off dreams
A prisoner putting food on my plate
My birth my burden, these shackles my fate
(Chorus)
I turn the wrench like boss tells me to
He’s got the money and I’ve got the youth
No time for beauty or finding the Truth
I turn the wrench and that’s all that I do
(V3)
These fingers weren't made for such toil
They’re for splashing through waves and playing with soil
But this world put a wrench in my hand
Why did we choose this? I don’t understand
(Chorus)

We can smash the machine if our fingers form fists
We can unleash our dreams if we take the risks
If we worked together we’d watch it all burn
But we don’t

Do you know that I love you true?
And I’ll always be there with you.
Though there are things I can no longer do
I would always stay there with you
Am I still just as beautiful to you?
Will you always love me true?
Would you help me make it through?
I always be here with you?

(Verse 1)
I hear them talking of modern gods
I hear there voices sing
But when they're talking of modern gods
They won't let us in
(Chorus)
In the air tonight they breathe
The incense lit all around in haze
Everyone talking modern gods
But I can't take it in
(Verse 2)
From all the voices, to the priestess
To everyone she saves
And all the people, sitting in their steeple
I sit and watch them pray
(Chorus)
In the air tonight they breathe
The incense lit all around in haze
Everyone talking modern gods
But I can't hear them pray
(Solo)
(Chorus)
In the air tonight they breathe
The incense lit all around in haze
Everyone talking modern gods
But I can't take it in
(Bridge)
I hear them talking about it
I hear them talking away
The words are coming from them
But I don't hear what they say
(Chorus)
In the air tonight they breathe
The incense lit all around in haze
Everyone talking modern gods
But I can't take it in

BONNIE JEAN
Many times I came to see you,
Bonnie Jean,
It was so very hard to leave you,
Bonnie Jean,
With a smile that shines forever,
And the eyes of a little girl,
Open arms and you have entered, Bonnie’s world,
With a smile that shines forever,
And the eyes of a little girl,
Open arms and you have entered, Bonnie’s world,
She was gone in the blink of an eye,
I miss that smile and the beautiful eyes, Ohh Ahhhh
So-so sweet and a little bit shy,
All was lost in the blink of an eye, Ohhhh, Ahhhh, Ohhhh
Sometimes I think about you, when I’m alone,
Then I stop and I smile, because I know,
Every time I see the sunshine,
Every time I feel the rain,
I realize that we’re all going to Bonnies home;
Evert time you see the sunshine,
Every time you feel the rain,
Realize that we’re all going to Bonnies home;
She was gone in the blink of an eye,
I miss that smile and the beautiful eyes, Ohh Ahhh
So-so sweet and a little bit shy,
She was gone in the blink of an eye, Ohhhh, Ahhhh, Ohhhh, Ahhhhhhhh…

Gravy on my Biscuits
Chorus
Oh there’s gravy on my biscuits, and there’s coffee in my cup
My wife’s across the table, and I’m glad she got me up
Yesterday’s behind me, and these simple things I love
Gravy on my biscuits and coffee in my cup
Verse 1
Driving home on interstate 35
I arrive just feeling barely alive
Daughter hits me up for another 25
somehow it strikes me like a bribe, but …
Verse 2
Pink slip lying crumpled on the table
I’ll start looking again when I feel able
Man on the phone’s gonna cut my cable
it’s a story gone wrong in some suburban fable, but …
Ending
There is gravy on my biscuits and coffee in my cup
There is gravy on my biscuits and coffee in my cup
There is gravy on my biscuits and coffee …
In my cup, in my cup, in my cup

INTRO
“Five, four, three, two, one, zero, all engine running Liftoff, we have a liftoff” (Clear tower)
CHORUS
From space let me share with you what I have seen
Oh, there’s a bright and shining planet hanging in the heavens
A world more wonderful beyond belief
Funny, we must fly away to discover Earth the treasure that we seek
And as I go, (last time: and as I go, oh,oh, and as I go) I hope she’ll still be there for me
VERSE 1
Now, as we sail to worlds beyond her from different lands and different cultures
We began to realize to all the Earth is home she’s life
And though we may come from different places,
from out in space we see she’s just one lovely little ball rolling on in time. Yeah
VERSE 2
And she shines like a precious gem Our island in the endless ocean
And you can’t fly away without emotion
For you feel as men once sailed to distant lands
With each mile that you go the more you’ll understand You’re completely out of her hands
VERSE 3
But as I gaze I’m filled with sadness Beneath her halo there’s a world of madness
Beneath her shimmering light her fate unsure unsigned
So, I must return and tell my brothers
Lay down your guns instead together let’s keep our world alive We’ve all lost if she should die
CHORUS

Things I'd Change
by Dan DeHart 2026
[Verse 1]
If I were king for a day some things I'd change
Peace and love would always be maintained
Prejudice would go away
All colors will be the same
If I were king for a day things I'd change
[Verse 2]
If I were king of the world for just one day
War and crime would just not pay
Let's all live by the golden rule,
That's what I'd say
If I were king of the world for just one day
[Chorus]
We'll raise our kids like our parents did us
Respect each other's in God we trust
Find our manners and wave the flag
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
[Verse 3]
Get out of jail free
Could not be a rain
Do the crime do the time
That's alright with me
[Chorus]
We'll raise our kids like our parents did us
Respect each other's in God we trust
Find our manners and wave the flag
In the land of the free and the home of the brave

I called you / needed help
My moody jeep / broke down again
I’m alone at the end of an already hard day
I’m stuck on / Asphalt
A dry heat / a Southern town
The pink sky faded to a washed out gray
You had the nerve to say I offended you
Said I expected you to come to my rescue
Who knew? You with the pretty gray eyes
Would cause a heart to stop
Our love would die right there
On Blistering Hot Blacktop
Could not believe / You said no
I hung up / Called a tow
A greasy hook grabbed a hold of my chrome ass
So I paid / The nice man
I was so hot / on that road
While you were trimming up all your perfect grass
You had the nerve to say I offended you
Said I expected you to come to my rescue
Who knew? You with the pretty gray eyes
Would cause a heart to stop
Our love would die right there
On Blistering Hot Blacktop
Wanna know what I wanted you to do
Slam that trimmer down, run to your big ass truck
Drive faster than you ever knew
Find where I was waiting for you
Come and pick me up
Solo: Am F G Am
Who knew? You with the pretty gray eyes
Would cause a heart to stop
Our love would die right there
On blistering hot blacktop
Who knew… Who knew….

Verse 1
I want things to be easy, I want things to be quick
I wanna forget the hard times, war and politics
I want every day to be Sunday, every evening Friday night
I want to wake up early, I want to do right
I want things to be easy
Verse 2
I wanna swim the river, I wanna show up for my kids
Retrace my footsteps, mend my relationships
I wanna know when enough’s enough and when to push on through
I want to play Mozart, I wanna sing the blues
I want things to be easy
Bridge
But it’s a hard world full of trouble and there’s a million ways to fall
Stick with me baby we’ll count them all
I’ve been through the hustle, and I learned a thing or two
About intentions you set coming home to roost
So I want things to be easy
Verse 3
I want original thoughts, I want original sin
I want the game to be fair, I want my side to win
I wanna write a better song, I want the world to sing along
I wanna make you laugh, I want the kids to take a bath
Wanna learn from my mistakes, wanna have what it takes
Wanna make love every night, I wanna shoot out the lights
I wanna be an aristocrat I want the country to vote democrat
I want things to be easy
I want things to be easy

Spit
Verse 1
Old cowhand, rode the rio grande, worked my Uncle’s ranch
It’s called Crooked Branch.
I was a kid a know-it-all attitude,
Till sixteen weeks around that old dude.
He didn’t care for city slickers.
Liked to toss back his malt liquor.
Chorus
Spit was his name never knew why,
Tough Buckaroo, maybe spit in some fool’s eye.
Ready at morning break faced dust and grit.
Finished a day’s work, wouldn’t let me quit.
Verse2
Taught to live under the stars,
rope a stray calf, deal a deck of cards.
How to act if caught in a trap.
When to walk away, stand tall to a new day.
Chorus
Spit was his name never knew why,
Tough Buckaroo, maybe spit in some fool’s eye.
Ready at morning break faced dust and grit
Finished a day’s work, wouldn’t let me quit.
Verse3
Hardened into the man I am,
Shaped by lessons on the Rio Grande.
Left flowers on Spit’s grave at Crooked Branch,
Thankful he took the time and gave me a chance.

See You Soon ©2025 Kathy Robinson
[Verse 1]
He was just a guy playin’ a guitar
Cobblestone concert, gonna be a star.
He tipped his hat, stole my heart,
When I stopped to hear his song.
Old jar sittin' this side o’the street.
A few more dollars to make ends meet.
He didn’t have much, but his voice was sweet
I smiled - and moved along.
[CHORUS]
He said, hey girl, hey! Come on back this afternoon.
I’ll be playing a brand new song, I’d really like to see you.
I turned around to see -if it was really me he was talking to….
With a wink and a wave he said, l’ll see you soon.
[Verse 2]
I was just a girl, workin all day
Prayin’ for a man to sweep me away
Far too picky about hearsay,
To just dive in headlong
In spite of fear, a bit concerned
I could not leave this stone unturned
I got off work, I did return,
just to hear his song
[Chorus 2]
He said, hey girl hey, glad you're back this afternoon
Got a brand new song, I just wrote for you.
Couldn't believe it was really me he was singing to
Dropped my number and said, "I'll see you soon”
[Bridge]
The months went by, we fell in love
Just like the movies, this match was made above
[Verse 3 (half verse)]
Now we're wed, 'specting delight
Little girl due any day or night
She'll be a beauty with a little fight
When she fin’ly comes along.
[Chorus 3]
We'll say, hey girl hey, welcome to your little room
Sugar we waited so long to finally meet you
Gonna wrap you up and lay you down, to gaze the moon
You can drift away and know, we'll see you soon
[Tag]
Nothing in this world will ever keep us away from you
Close your eyes, goodnight, we'll see you soon

When the sun shines way up high, the sky is so blue

When we’re apart you are right here in my heart

Die Dreaming

“Dreaming” by Jeff Riley February 28th, 2026
(Verse 1)
Time slips by as I walk this path
Down this misty road where tomorrow becomes the past
I try to hold on to life’s moments but they won’t linger
Like water in my hand, they just slip through my fingers
Or am I dreaming, am I dreaming tonight
(Verse 2)
Seems like yesterday when I first saw you
Pigtails, a flowing dress, I think you had a clue
The way you smiled at me I knew you weren’t shy
As you squinted under that sunburnt summer sky
Or am I dreaming, am I dreaming tonight
(Verse 3)
Those days with you full of barefoot bike rides
Running through sprinklers and soapy backyard slip ‘n slides
Listening to crickets sing in the soft moonlight
Chasing fireflies with you until midnight
Or am I dreaming, am I dreaming tonight
---Break---
(Verse 4)
Time slips by as I walk this path
Down this misty road where tomorrow becomes the past
I try to hold on to life’s moments but they won’t linger
Like water in my hand, they just slip through my fingers
If I’m dreaming, Lord if I’m dreaming
If I’m dreaming, let me die dreaming tonight

Touch

You burst through the front door after a long ass day
Bosses been all over you aint get no time to play
Little boy screamin’ “momma give me somethin’ to eat”
Don’t worry ‘bout a thing lil’ momma I cooked up some tasty meat
(prechorus 1)
Then I did the dishes, I put away the food
I put that little boy in bed, let me put you in the mood
(chorus)
Let me touch your butt!
Little boy’s sleeping and we got some peace and quiet
Feel electricity between us girl don’t fight it
I listen to your struggles, rub your shoulders, ease your mind
But there’s no denying I’m trying to get your behind
(prechorus 2)
I know we’re both real tired, and the energy is low
But there’s one thing that would make my day and girl i’m sure you know
(chorus)
Let me touch your butt!
(bridge)
It was so easy to find time to ourselves
And and we could always be spontaneous
We might have to work to find time these days
But your lovin’ ain’t extraneous!

Let me touch your butt!

Of course only if it’s ok with you
You can touch mine too if you like

HOW DO YOU GO ON?
By Patricia T. Bishop & Willie B. ©2006
You wonder how life can change
In a few hours time
That morning you were happy
Singing in the bright sunshine
Before the moonlight ever came around
Your world turned upside down
Cuz the one you love now is gone
The one you love now is gone
Chorus
How do you go on?
How will you make it through
When she’s (he’s)not here with you?
How do you go on?
How do you go on?
Your body goes through the motions
Of trying to be strong
Your heart’s so sad and broken
What in the world keeps it beating on
And on and on and on
You raise your eyes up to the sky
Silently asking why
But then the answer never comes
Lord, your answer never comes
Repeat Chorus
Very soon you’ll come to know
The things that’ll get you through
The love you had for each other
And the love God has for you
With the care of your family
And all your friends
The pain in your heart will mend
And all your memories will make you smile
All your memories will make you smile
Now, you’ll go on

Too many guns in too many hands
It’s like a plague all across this land
Children shooting children
Teens shooting teens
People shooting people
This has got to stop

I can't believe what I’m seeing
Violence spreading and where it’s heading
Right to where our kids are playing….(pause)

Or your wife
One bullet is all it takes
Or son or daughter
What if it was you?
One bullet for a life
Who would take your place
Who would take your place

Something's wrong with us today
Our streets are out of control
People looking the other way
What’s that say about us today
Take away the guns
Tighten up the laws
Punish the offenders
This has got to stop
Verse 4
Something's wrong with us today
I can't believe what I'm feeling
Hoping for the news to say
No one was shot today…. (pause)

What if it was you?
One bullet for a life

Guns are not the answer
To settle out disputes
It’s got to stop
We need compassion
Before someone shoots

No more anger and hate
Try love before its too late
It’s got to stop…. (pause)
Chorus
What if it was you?
Or your wife

BACK WHEN THE WORLD WAS SMALL
BACK BEFORE WE THOUGHT THAT WE KNEW IT ALL
WE WERE ALL CHILDREN THEN
MAYBE IT'S TIME TO START OVER AGAIN
WE COULD BE A LOT LIKE CHILDREN
SING AND LAUGH ALOUD LIKE CHILDREN
MAYBE IT'S TIME TO WAKE OUT OF OUR DREAM
THOUGHT IS NOT WHAT WE'RE INTENDED TO

BACK WHEN OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG
BACK BEFORE ALL OF OUR SCHEMES HAD BEGUN
WE KNEW IT COULDN'T LAST
SHARDS OF OUR YOUTH ON THE FLOOR STREWN LIKE GLASS
WE COULD BE A LOT LIKE CHILDREN
SING AND LAUGH ALOUD LIKE CHILDREN
MAYBE IT'S TIME TO WAKE OUT OF OUR DREAM
THOUGHT IS NOT WHAT WE'RE INTENDED TO

WE TOSS AND WE TURN
BUT WE STILL HAVEN'T LEARNED
AND WE KEEP GOING ROUND IN OUR HEAD
GLIMPSES APPEAR TO US, THINGS ARE REVEALED TO US
BUT WE WALK AROUND LIKE WE'RE DEAD

Verse 1
My sorrow’s like the snow
Drifting toward the horizon
And I’m so glad to see it go
The pain was blinding
I’ve forgiven you
For things you do not know
And finally come to understand the truth
That we must let go
Chorus
We must let go of the anger
We must let go of the hurt
We must let go of the cursing
Somebody must go first
We must let go of the bitter
We must let go of the pain
We must let go of the hatred
Before we go insane
Verse 2
Everybody’s wounded
Everyone has scars
We are all dysfunctional
It’s just a matter of how far
But where I was wounded deepest
I found some blood that wasn’t mine
I found a salve for my unclearness
In the water and the wine
Bridge
Friend I know I have, hurt you so
I am sorry won’t you let it go
Friend you know
that you have, wounded me so
I forgive you, I will let it go

Dead Sunflowers 🌻
Your name showed up in a text
I felt a shiver in my chest
I’ve been wondering how you’d been
My thoughts went back to that June
You taught me ‘bout a, Strawberry Moon
How to plant flower seeds, by July's end
Funny how now I recall, only the good days But for you those yellow blooms faded to gray
I will love you, even though you hate it
Til sunflowers don’t need the sun
I wish I could’ve hesitated
Before things were said and done
October’s moon could not have waited
The harvest had begun
Now there’s dead sunflowers
Shriveled in the Autumn sun
Seems you think I, ruined your life
You said I was a, sorrowful wife
I was once a warm inviting yellow
Now you think I’m a wilted flower
Waiting for a summer rain shower
That could quench the thirst of a drunken sparrow
Oh I chased your sunbeam across the sky
From east to west until the day turned into night
I will love you, Even though you hate it
Til sunflowers don’t need the sun
I wish I could’ve hesitated
Before things were said and done
October’s moon could not have waited
The harvest had begun
Now there’s dead sunflowers
Shriveled in the Autumn sun
Oh I chased your sunbeam across the sky
From east to west until the day turned into night
I will love you, Even though you hate it
Til sunflowers don’t need the sun
I wish I could’ve hesitated
Before things were said and done

I will start another day
I will pray to the God of almost

It rises just to see me set
and I pray, to the God of maybe
God of money, let me be

Verse 1:
Backyard in the summertime
Days movin slow
Barefoot in her cotton dress
Daddy's hands as strong as oak.
He’d count to 3 and lift her high
Before he’d let her go
So high she could touch the sky
He’d always let her know
Chorus:
Up in the air
Everything will be just fine
I swear
Just hold on tight don’t let go
When things get hard and it feels like
More than you can bear
Your daddy’s got you
Up in the air
Verse 2
She lost him just a year ago
That left a hole inside
Now she’s laying in that same old bed
And it’s her turn to fight
She thinks about him on those long nights
When they change those vials
She might never ring that bell
But daddy’s words still make her smile
Chorus:
Up in the air
Everything will be just fine
I swear
Just hold on tight don’t let go
When things get hard and it feels like
More than you can bear
Your daddy’s got you
Up in the air
Verse 3
We lost her on a Sunday night
The Lord called her home
Through those gates into the light
We felt a pain we’d never known
Now she’s home up in that sky
An answer to our prayer
And when she got to the other side
Her daddy’s arms were waiting there
Chorus:
Up in the air
Everything will be just fine
I swear
Take your flight and let go
In the arms of the Father
With eternity to share
Your daddy’s got you
Up in the air
Your daddy's got you...
Up in the air

Verse 1
America’s heart has been replaced
Too much cholesterol in her veins
Treating consumption with a spoonful of hope
Praying to idols of commerce and growth
Brothers and sisters won’t you lend me your ear?
Before the small towns and back roads all disappear
And what we build to take their place
Is Bucee’s and Chic-fil-A
Verse 2
America your face is a mess
Disfigured by fear and self-righteousness
Where is the kindness, where is the love?
Where is the beauty that Woody sang of?
Brothers and sisters, extend me your hand
Before profit and sprawl devour the land
What progress leaves in its wake
Is Bucee’s and Chic-fil-A
Verse 3
America you broke my heart
What you claim to be is not what you are
But I know this ain’t the best you can do
The whole wide world is looking at you
Brothers and sisters won’t you ask yourself
How do I see somebody else?
And may we meet in a better place
Than Bucee’s and Chic-fil-A

It’s Alright (Ballad Version)
Lyrics by Erik “The Orchestra” Teixeira
with Pat Bishop’s Suggestions
(Verse 1)
It’s taken a while to own up to
The truth and stop pretending
That the love we once knew
Would stay the same, never-ending
(Verse 2)
We’ve been through this more than once
It’s time to say what we’ve needed to
We can’t let another day go by
So, let’s talk about me and you
(Chorus)
It’s alright
We don’t need to play these games like before
Calling each other names to even the score
It’s alright
We don’t need a life like that …anymore
It’s alright
(Verse 3)
Cuz, every single day that passes
We’ll argue again then make amends
We can’t keep going on like that
Maybe, we’re better off as friends
(Verse 4)
Sometimes people just fall out of love
Trying to force it makes it worse
The longer we try hanging on
The stronger we feel this lover’s curse
(Chorus)
It’s alright
We don’t need to play these games like before
Calling each other names to even the score
It’s alright
We don’t need a life like that …anymore
It’s alright
(Bridge
)
We know we’re both to blame
For causing each other pain
We know we need to be free
I guess it’s best done separately
(Chorus)
It’s alright
We don’t need to play these games like before
Calling each other names to even the score
It’s alright
We don’t need a life like that …anymore
It’s alright

I remember that day yeah all too well
The first time I saw a 'em well I just couldn't tell
Everybody said boy just you wait
I grabbed a big chuck and took a bite
My senses were reeling yeah this couldn’t be right
I thought I went to heaven on a silver plate
(Man, this was no mistake!)

I love a brisket sandwich, pulled pork on a bun
Spicy barbacoa and cervesas in the sun
If you've never tried then boy you've never lived
Cause there's nothing much better than a sticky plate of ribs!
Verse 2
I swore to myself an oath that day
Made it my mission, could be no other way
I had to go on searching across the land
(I made plan)
I went out across Texas, yeah, far and wide
To Austin, Luling, Lockhart but I couldn't decide
Stopped in every pit that I could find
(It blew my mind!)
Chorus 2
You can keep them vegan burgers yeah that stuff won't do
Tofu on a salad may be the thing for you
I slather so much sauce that I wear a bib
Cause there's nothing much better than a sticky plate of ribs!

I found my life's calling yeah sure enough
Tell everyone around to get some of that stuff
Sure as shootin' that's what I'm gonna do
Spread the word across the nation 'bout Texas Barbeque

I love a brisket sandwich, pulled pork on a bun
Spicy barbacoa and cervesas in the sun
If you've never tried it boy you've never lived
Cause there's nothing else better than a sticky plate of ribs!

Tearing down empty back-town streets
Just me and my bike, green banana seat.
Got in a trade for the beat up one
My Dad pieced together from rusty old junk.
VERSE
I stand on the pedals - the wind hits my face.
I ride past her house every day.
And there’s nothing anyone can say or do
To keep me from riding to Timbuktu.
CHORUS
Cuz I’m free to ride – free to run,
Free to pedal like a 4-foot son of a gun.
I don’t answer to anyone -
I’m free to ride – free to run.
VERSE
Now I’m on a 1450cc HD,
And I’m ridin’ ‘cross the desert with the tumbleweeds.
She’s in the city says she doesn’t need me,
But life goes on, and I know one thing . . .
CHORUS
I’m free to ride – free to run,
Free to fly like a 6-foot son of a gun.
I don’t answer to anyone.
I’m free to ride –

I’m free to ride – free to run,
Free to find my way to the setting sun.
I don’t answer to anyone.

Now I know life can change the course you take,
But I won’t let it win, won’t let it make me afraid . . . of being . . .

I don’t answer to anyone.
I’m free to ride –

(Verse 1)
Smoke and Mirrors
Broken hearts
Star crossed lovers writhe in dark
You said you love me but you were there in his arms
I still hear those three words like my favorite song
(Pre-Chorus)
It’s always easier on the outside
But I’m stuck here on the inside
There’s a pressure, it’s building
All I asked of you was to pull the pin
(Chorus)
It’s gonna take more than two shots to make it through the night
Washing my eyes in whiskey won’t burn it from my sight
It’s gonna take more time than I want to give
I just hope when you see me, you’ll forgive my sin
(Verse 2)
Smoke and Mirrors
We all played a part
I'm lying in wait for mine to start
He walked my way
But couldn't see
Then he felt my shadow as death became me
(Pre-Chorus)
It’s always easier on the outside
But I’m stuck here on the inside
There’s a pressure, it’s building
All I asked of you was to pull the pin
(Chorus)
It’s gonna take more than two shots to make it through the night
Washing my eyes in whiskey won’t burn it from my sight
It’s gonna take more time than I want to give
I just hope when you see me, you’ll forgive my sin
(Verse 3)
Smoke and Mirrors
An empty glass
A knock at the door is it you, are you home at last?
I've got the courage
I fought my fight
But it looks like I'm going to jail tonight
(Pre-Chorus)
It’s always easier on the outside
But I’m stuck here on the inside
There’s a pressure, it’s building
All I asked of you was to pull the pin
(Chorus)
It’s gonna take more than two shots to make it through the night
But washing my eyes in whiskey won’t burn it from my sight
It’s gonna take more time than I want to give
Just hope when you see me, you’ll forgive my sin

Till The Darkness Passes Over
March
Lowell Adams
2026
Evertbody needs shelter from the dark and the cold
When your heart is so heavy, you feel so far from home
And there's no words of wisdom
To hang your weary hat on
Till the darkness has passes over, and the morning light has come
You say it's such a hopeless feeling
I could never understand
Well let me sit here in your silence
Like you'd do for me my friend
And when your burden's lifted
And you can smile at the sun
The darkess has passed over
And the mornin light has come
Everybody needs a hand to hold
Through the dark night of the soul
We all need someone
I know I need someone
And when you feel you can't go on
And all your strength is gone
You're gonna need someone
To be there till the pain is gone
Jacob wrestled with the angel
All through the night
Beneath the latter from heaven
Till he found some light
Then he limped away in silence
Built an altar of stone
Where the darkness had passed over
And the morning light had come.
Where the darkness had passed over ,
and the mornin light had come
Everybody needs shelter

OLD FOLK ARTIST
Music and lyrics by Alan Young
You don't know my name,
But you've seen me before
The bourbon is flowing ,
Just as fast as it poured.
I'm Just a worn-out artists,
On a one night stand
Keep longing for my youth
Feeling older than I am
I smell of tobacco,
and I reek of booze,
But that's my stimulation
it's the spot life I choose
I'm just a worn-out artist,
on a one-night stand
A lone survivor and member
Of a one-man band
First chorus
I've been out here so long now
Still, I haven't got a clue
The roads are rocky as hell now,
And they still don't bring me back here to you.
2nd chours
I've been out here so long now
And I still haven't got a clue
The lines are a ll the the same now
But the voice I hear still sounds just like you
You don't know my name
But you've heard these songs before
Echo through your memories from a lifetime or more
I'm just a worn-out artist
On a one-night stand
A survivor old and dated
Doing the best I can.

Ride The Wind

(verse 1)
When I was a child, all wide-eyed
fun was just being outside
Waiting on my bike for the storm to blow in
So I could ride the wind
(verse 2)
We didn’t have much, but just enough\
Daddy stayed sick, times were tough
I Didn’t know we were just getting by
I guess I never heard momma cry
(Chorus)
Into the wind, I’d ride with a grin
Feel cold air on my skin,
I didn’t need much, I was only ten ,
Happy to ride the wind
(verse3)
Then daddy passed away one sad day
Didn't know what to do or say
So I let the wind take my tears away
I just had to ride the wind
(chorus)
Into the wind, I’d ride with a grin
Feel cold air on my skin,
I didn’t need much, I was only ten ,
Happy to ride the wind
(outro)
So even now, when I’ve had a bad day
I set sail, just to ride the wind
I still love to ride the wind.
I still love to ride the wind.
I still love to ride the wind.

Lonesome Cowboy
Pounding of the hooves, churning wagon wheels
Don’t have any words for the way my heart feels
Dust behind these wagons tonight
Keeps the past out of my sight
Pushin’ my team, almost makin’ ‘em run
As the dust obscures the setting sun
I’m a lonesome cowboy, headed south
Trying to figure what life is all about
My heart is heavy, and my spirit is worn
From the endless night to the break of dawn
The sunset is no friend of mine
The trail is long and the nights are cold
The ghosts of the past leave stories untold
Got a faded photo of the girl I left behind
Keep it in my pocket sort of to remind….me
Once I had someone to love
But now it’s only me and the stars above
I pull out her photo when the sun’s in the sky
‘Cause the moon’s not bright enough to see those pretty eyes
The wheels of the wagon kick up dust all over me
Sorta tells the story of how my life would be
--instrumental--
I’m a lonesome cowboy, headed south
Trying to figure what life is all about
My heart is heavy, and my spirit is worn
From the endless night to the break of dawn
The sunset is no friend of mine
The sunset is no friend of mine
The sunset is no friend of mine

Cair Paravel
February
Bruce Fogelsong
2026
Verse 1
Have you ever been invited, to a warm and cozy home, where
Hospitality seems heightened, so that no one feels alone.
On the hearth she warms a kettle, though her guests can’t quite believe her
For she declares we’ll win the battle, I hope her hope will … not deceive her.
Verse 2
So against all odds you let her, feed your body and your soul, and
After cake you do feel better, though deep down you really know
That the promise of tomorrow, can’t be guaranteed today
Take some courage, sip and swallow, toast your comrades … come what may.
Chorus
There is an ancient prophecy, four children seat the thrones
Hear the song of captives freed, their flesh begot from stones
For in the end all may be well, if truth and love can break the spell
Hold onto hope, you are not alone
Verse 3
The baton was dropped by winter, ‘fore the changing of the season
“Only snow and ice and bitter”, speaks the witch with evil reason.
“Always winter never Christmas, give me sleet instead of rain”.
And beneath her smile a sickness, that would see the world insane.
Verse 4
With the darkness fueled by traitors, could their vict’ry be denied?
Or would the lovers triumph the haters, since the lion’s on their side?
With the outcome tending tragic, hear his roar that turns the tables,
For he knows a deeper magic, a better story … a truer fable.
End Chorus
Finally my eyes can read, runes carved into the stones
Lyrics of liberty, cut through our painful moans
If we can learn to listen well, someday we’ll reach Cair Paravel
Hold onto hope, you are not alone
Hold onto hope, we are not alone

Verse 1:
I count my blessings, but sometimes they’re hard to find
Seems like here lately, you’re always on my mind
I can’t let you go
You packed your bags, you walked right out that door
If you think of me, I hope that you know
Chorus:
I wish I could turn back time
Do all the wrong things right
Hold you close and say what i truly feel
This life didn’t go just how we planned it
Losing you was too hard to handle
Cause I did the wrong thing to the right heart this time
Verse 2:
You’d try to talk, but I’d just say “not tonight”
Thought love was patient, thought we had nothing but time
But I wasn’t right
I swore we’d be fine cause I swore that you were mine
Now that I’ve lost you, I just sit here and cry
Chorus:
I wish I could turn back time
Do all of those wrong things right
Hold you close and say what I truly feel
This life didn’t go just how we planned it
Losing you was too hard to handle
Cause I did the wrong thing to the right heart this time

A Night They'll Never Forget

Randy McClendon, Jeff Riley & Brad Hatcher

Well, tonight the bartender was the incessant talker,
Juke box played some old Jerry Jeff Walker
Conversations ranged from weddings and anniversaries,
Birthdays, big games, fishing trips and beautiful dames.
They said “He had it all”
And He’d say: “Latch onto the friends that are true, a chosen few.
Do the things you want to do, before your life gets away from you.
And let your dreams come true. Let your dreams come true.”
Well he was born to be a troubadour, truly an enigma
This gypsy songman, relentlessly his self, a footloose itinerate.
Just rambling and scrambling, the gypsy snowman,
Rambling and a scrambling
And He’d say: “Latch onto the friends that are true, a chosen few.
Do the things you want to do, before your life gets away from you.
And let your dreams come true. Let your dreams come true.”
Well he played all the honky tonks and bars,
From Austin to San Antone
Dallas down to Houston, cause he liked to roam.
This gypsy songman, he was cursed to roam.
And when they played his most famous song, tears in their eyes as they sang along
A haunting requiem, a most familiar theme, now it seems it was just a dream
On a night they’ll never forget.

Moving On
February
Michael McDonald - NobdyUno
2026
The sun sparks the morning light, the moon invades the dark of night
They know their path and keep moving on
Stars inspire the evening sky and carry dreams for you and I
A graceful rhyme we all wish upon
We are here, living now, searching for our path out loud
and we know, in the end we’ll be what we’re gonna be
We can reach for the stars, but we’re stuck with all the scars
yet we dance with the chance of humanity
Like the days before me told, I travel roads that I’ve been sold
I hold my heart and keep moving on
There’s something learned in every step, dreams, love and deep regrets
I’ll press the day and claim each new dawn
Starting here, standing proud, I’m going to make it through somehow
Because in life all we have is belonging
If I face everyday, with the grit to make my stay
In the end I can rest without longing
Like a breeze that gifts you more, you’re the one that I adore
I never want to see you cry
And in the end there is nothing left, except the love that we have kept
Remember me in kind with a smile
So stand up, don’t be shy, you can’t let the world pass by
in your heart you will see you’re all you need to be
You don’t need all the noise, the world’s tricks and all it’s toys
stay your path, though the dark to find your humanity.
All I have to give you is goodbye
The magic of our hearts will paint the sky
On and on, moving on ~

The Last Phone Booth

Original. Last Phone Booth By Jim Robeson
The last phone booth in this old town
seen a thousand Suns burn down
like me it’s weathered worn down.
last phone booth you will ever see
dime connects you, collect is free
rotary dial spins memories
every call, every plea, every tear
that phone booth brings back memories
called my first love, dimes for pain
just 17, pockets full of change
saw tears on a dusty steel floor
mamas voice said keep strong
the night I called, said I won’t be long
twenty cents, the price I paid
every call, every plea, every tear
that phone booth brings back memories
and when I step inside
my pride will disappear
switchboard to my heart
still dialing after all these years
the doors will hardly shut
wires frayed and cut
I’m still standing here
here I stand where time stood still
heart is dialing against my will
a witness of who I use to be
this old phone booth on the edge of town
seen another sun burn down
like me a standing memory.
every call, every plea, every tear
that phone booth holds my memories
every call, every plea. every tear
that phone booth holds my memories
every call, every plea, every tear
like me, just a standing memory

Same routine
As each day before

I can’t decide how to feel
Free to my thoughts but I’m caught on the reel
That’s pulling me back to my chair
But if i stare through the screen I am everywhere

You were a shooting star
Everybody knew your name
Well at least
That’s how the story’s told

You’ve got a silver tongue
That you use to get your way
But in time
It will all grow old
[Chorus]
You always get away
With the games that you play
How do you get away?
With all the games you play
[Verse 3]
Acting like you are a friend
When you find someone to use
And you leave them
When you’ve had your fill
[Verse 4]
And now you’re coming round
With your pompous circumstance
Everyone here
To bend to your will
[Chorus]
You always get away
With the games that you play
How do you get away?
With all the games you play
[Bridge]
Nothing to do
Nothing to say
Can stop you living life this way
You always seem to survive
Cause when there’s nowhere left to go
Someone else just buys your show
Once again you thrive
[End Chorus]
You always get away
With the games that you play
How do you get away?
With all the games you play
With all the games you play
Why can’t you go away?

You got the magic, voodoo magic - You practice on me
You got the magic black magic - Sorcery
You got potions that toy with emotions
And you think you’ve got a hold on me
But I'll give you a chance, I'll give you choice
Cuz that’s the kind of guy I can be
Ch/
You get one last chance to see the light
One last chance to make things right
One last chance to even the score
One last chance then nevermore

I've got the power, awesome power - Power like you've never seen
It’s stronger than potions, stronger than spells - Stronger than your sorcery
I try not to abuse it, but sometimes I lose it
Think twice or I'll use it on you
(So) take a chance, make a choice
You know what you gotta do
Ch/
You get one last chance to see the light
One last chance to make things right
One last chance to even the score
One last chance then nevermore

(One last chance) make up your mind

Winter is coming
Winter it comes,
From out of the north.
Creeping through fields
And knocking on doors
Along for the ride,
Is the chill and the snow
Covering rooftops
obscuring the roads
There's a artic breeze blowing
It comes with a blast
Winter storm warning
And they're traveling fast
Sometimes it's a white out,
Can't see a thing.
Sometimes snow falls,
As steady as rain.
And I can't wait to get back home
You're Sitting by the fireplace
Trying to stay warm
And then there's the ice,
As black as the road
Unforseen danger,
Car loose control
I'm sitting in a snowbank
Waiting for a tow
Long line of traffic
Blocking the road
Ice is forming on my windshield
Temperature is dropping low
When there came a knock on my window
Yes winter is coming
It's that time of year
Phill saw his shadow
Six weeks more of winter cheer

Oh When We’re young we all run chasing butterflies
Time marches on but the young do not realize
We die
Everybody dies
Oh and it hurts when we lose one so beautiful
stung by the loss we become inconsolable
And we cry
Everybody cries
But they remain in your heart and soul
Always there to guide you
They will always be with you
Always there beside you
Angels they escort them when they rise
To their new home way up in the sky
We understand that our life is ethereal
We cling to our love all we have that’s material
We try
Everybody tries
You next day could your last
The reality of our existence
Together we are on this path
There can be no resistance
Angels they escort you when they rise
To your new home way up on the sky

The Breath I Need
Wrapped in a blanket the sun sinks low again
Soakin’ in, the faded sky as this day ends
We see Mars appear in the violet twilight hue
I’m living my best life, it’s all because of you
You’ve become the breath I need
I’m floating on Cloud Nine
You’re strong as the roots on a mountain pine
You’ve become the breath I need
Snuggled in the cabin, the wind bites cold tonight
A candle in the window glows poetic light
You warm my bare skin despite the Autumn air
Feels like heaven answered every whispered prayer
You’ve become the breath I need
I’m floating on Cloud Nine
You’re strong as the roots on a mountain pine
You’ve become the breath I need
Now every setting sun paints my world brand new
The golden hour showed up tonight for me and you
Solo: G D C D / G D C D
You’ve become the breath I need
I’m floating on Cloud Nine
You’re strong as the roots on a mountain pine
You’ve become the breath I need
I’m so happy that you’re mine
I’ll be with you forever til the end of time
You’ve become the breath I need
G D C D :/ AD LIB
The breath I need, forever
You’re my mountain pine, forever mine
The breath I need

PORCH SWING DOORS
Porch swing doors, make such a sound,
I was just a kid, at grandma’s house,
And the world spins around, and ‘round…
I can hear, the church bell ring,
Grandpa’s there, and children sing,
And the world goes around, and ‘round,
Again……
INSTRUMENTAL…
I was just a little boy,
Life was something to enjoy…
Winter came, it got so cold,
I don’t recall, when they got so old,
And their world spins around, and ‘round …
The church bell rang, the way it must,
When someone dear, is leaving us,
And the world goes around,
Yes the world goes ‘round, and ‘round,
Again…
INSTRUMENTAL…
I was just a little boy,
Life was something to enjoy,
Porch swing doors, and mama’s kiss,
It’s the simple things, we will miss,
As the world goes around, and ‘round, again…
There’s Porch swing doors…
At Heaven’s gate…
Of this I’m sure…
So don’t be late!
LET the world go around,
Let the world go ‘round,
Let the world go around, and ‘round,
Again…
INSTRUMENTAL…

Nowhere Else to Go
January
Erik Teixeira
2026
(Verse 1)
The day was ending when I had made my way
Back to the place that I called my home
On the doorway a notice informed me
That I was no longer welcome
So I wandered into the night
On the roadside watching the lights go by
Until a van hopped up on the curb
And a stranger leaned out and yelled get inside
(Chorus)
I didn’t know what to do
I didn’t know what to say
And I had nowhere to run
I just needed some rest
I couldn’t put up a fight
I was out on my own
I had nowhere else to go (x2)
(Verse 2)
The back door opened and somebody came around
That’s when I noticed a face I new
She was a friend from another life
From another town just passing through
She asked if I needed a ride
So I turned to the door and I took a stride
But the hostile look in the eyes
Of her friends let me know not to get inside
(Chorus)
I didn’t know what to do
I didn’t know what to say
And I had nowhere to run
I just needed some rest
I couldn’t put up a fight
I was out on my own
I had nowhere else to go (x2)
(Verse 3)
Now that the darkness had passed into the dawn
I found myself on the road again
I shuffled on as the world was waking up
Ignoring stares as I passed them by
So I made my way to the springs
On the south side of town by a waterfall
And as the cool mist cover my face
I forgot all my worries and just laid down
(Final Chorus)
I had nothing to do
I had nothing to say
I had no need to run
I just let myself rest
I didn’t put up a fight
Though I was out on my own
I had nowhere else to go (x2)

Fire Ants

V1
Little red spots, spreadin’ over my skin
A hundred tiny tots, are headin’ up my shins
Seems the signals were ignored, that woulda warned of their advance
So like Genghis Kahn’s horde, here come the fire ants
V2
Genus Solenopsis, well let me give you my synopsis
After spying sandaled toes, they exclaim “Yeah we have got this”
“You know he seems so relaxed, standing calmly in our grass.
I think it’s time we cut on in, and really teach the boy to dance”
Chorus
They are tiny they are tricky, they are wily they are fierce
And they do not care a whit, when, your happiness they pierce
I’d like to send them down to hell, but I think there's a good chance
When the devil tired of snakes, then he turned to fire ants
V3
Well after Armageddon, you would be smart if you was bettin’
That the cockroach and the scorpion, would survive in the dystopian
But they will not be alone, in the radiation zone
For though Bob may be their uncle, there’ll be ants upon the throne
Outro
Hey what’s that crawling up my pants? … fire ants, fire ants, oh fire ants

Bright Morning Star - Carol Burrus, updated after HSA on 1/11
Notes: Song: melody, chords & lyrics by Carol Burrus. On recording: Carol Burrus-lead & background vocals & piano. Charlie Burrus – guitar & bass & home recording engineer.
Verse 1:
I’ve been feeling sad and frightened, here in the darkest night and
waiting for the faintest hint of light, so I can feel everything’s alright.
Seems most of us don’t matter now, dreams and hopes are shattered now.
Can we sew our tattered lives together somehow…
stop the rising tide of hatred now?
Pre-chorus:
I must believe that this dark time will end
and the arc toward justice will forever bend.
Chorus:
Bright morning star is rising. Rise, rise, rise.
In the middle of the darkest night will rise, rise, rise.
Bright morning star is rising; far and high.
Verse 2:
Creeping into my head, filling me up with dread,
Visions of doom are looming, worries for the future all consuming.
But I see a mother caring for her child, her song so tender and mild,
They fill me with hope for us all, till I know we’ll rise from this fall.

Almost midnight Halloween
French quarter New Orleans
Drifting shadows yet unseen
Floating up the stairs
They've come to play, have some fun
Festivities have just begun
It's the ultimate spiritual affair
Ch/
Live it up, have it all
Let your hair loose,let it fall
At the Paranormal prohibition ball
2/
There's specters here from yesteryear
Laughinh, grinning ear to ear
Absinthe, Menthol cigarettes
The dance of days gone by
The sounds of jazz band melodies
Conjure up old memories
Recalling what they used to be
In better times
Ch/
Live it up, have it all
Let your hair loose,let it fall
At the Paranormal prohibition ball
Br/
The party's running every night
The tourists unaware
Of the reason for the rattling shutters
Or the creak of empty chairs
Thats the way they want it
Keep their revelry discreet
Let the ghost tours go on by
And stay near bourbon street

Out of answers, out of touch. No reality, no, not much
I got no worries, got no doubt anymore
I know what you can do, Oh yes,
I’ve seen Your work before.
[CHORUS]
I’m counting down to the miracle, the miracle
Looking for that thing You do so well, You do so well
So let Your love pour out, Oh, living water flow
There’s nothing you can’t do, oh Lord,
I gotta let it go.
[VS2]
No apologies, or regrets. Not out of time, no not yet
I know who I am, I belong to You.
Your plan is not for me to know
I know You’ll bring me through.

Looking for that thing You do so well, You do so well
So let Your love pour out, Oh, living water flow

With Your power, and with my faith
There’s nothing that can keep us back
From anything we say.
With Your leading hand, showing me the way,
We will do what can’t be done,
I see it every day

I’m counting down to the miracle, the miracle

He fixes all my broken things
Old tube amps, guitar strings

The memories I keep, the songs I sing
He fixes all my broken things
Torn photographs, Grandma’s ring
Pawn shop clocks, forgotten dreams
Lonely nights, withered wings
He takes my heart in his strong hands
Pieces it all together again
He holds it close…
Through whatever changes will bring
He fixes all my broken things
Solo
He takes my heart in his strong hands
Pieces it all together again
He holds it close…
Through whatever changes will bring
He fixes all my broken things

I know my love for you is never gonna go away
Honey
Never gonna go away
I know that secret place where
your dreams are tucked away
I know I can find you there
each and every day
I know that it may not show
so I have to say
I know my love for you

Ain't no Tellin' when I'm Coming Home

Dylan DuPont

(Verse 1)
Some nights I dream when I hear that whistle screaming by, by and by.
I am running down the track, no turning back, this is it this time. It’s time to fly.
And I can almost feel the wheels turning underneath.
That is just a dream. That is just a dream.
(Chorus)
I’d pack my bags and jump the train, if I knew that I would make it out alive.
‘Cause I got a restless soul, always needing to know what’s down the line.
Tell my parents and my sister that I love em’ and I’ll miss em’ when I go.
Tell em’ don’t wait up for me, ‘cause there ain’t no tellin’ when I’m comin’ home.
When I'm comin’ home.
(Verse 2)
That ol’ engine’s blowin’ steam, and I'm bustin’ at the seams tired of sittin’ around.
And gettin’ in my own way, well one of these days I’m gonna come around and leave this town.
Leave this town.
(Bridge)
There ain’t no way of knowin’.
Which way these wheels are rollin’.
And my heart keeps pullin’. Pullin’ me away.
You know that I can’t stay, you know that I can’t stay.
You know that I can’t stay, you know that I can’t stay.
So when you wake up and I’m gone. Just know I’ll be okay.
(Chorus 2x)

Lately, I’ve been feeling like the Devil’s got a hold
I wallow in my poverty and It’s getting mighty old
won’t nobody talk to me, my dog has run away
Only thing I know to do, throw up my arms and pray
(v2)
Stumble down the stairway, out into the street
No known destination, just following my feet
I see a preacher on the corner, stirring up a fight,
Hear somebody shout, “Hey, look out, he’s got a knife!”
(chorus)
Oh, Preacher’s got a switchblade, everybody say “Amen!”
Preacher’s got a switchblade, everybody say “Amen!”
Say it like you mean it
Say it loud
Then say it once again
(v3)
He hollered “Hallelujah!” at the top of his sainted lungs
Folks rolling on the sidewalk and speaking out in tongues
I rushed up to the alley begged him slash away my sins
Open up that sacred blade and make me whole again.
(chorus)
(bridge)
His weapon is the gospel, sharp, double-edged and true
His message is salvation, it’s waiting there for you
Preacher’s got a switchblade, you better say “Amen!”
He’s a friend to every sinner, mortal enemy of sin
(v4)
I walked away that morning, a new and happy man
I held a priceless treasure that you should understand
Grab onto the gospel and live it every day
Use that sacred switchblade to keep Old Scratch away
(chorus)
he’s a friend to every sinner, but the enemy of sin

My Heart's In Tennessee
January
Chris Hughes
2026
A county down from Knoxville
Buried in the pines
A courthouse square, 3 stoplights
And 20 years behind
My Mamaw and my Papaw
lived there all their lives
It’s plain and simple
It ain’t much but it’s all mine
Her daddy is a banker and
mama is a wife
They got big ideas, a big old house
For me that just ain’t right
She comes from the city
In a state that’s first in flight
Just like Jimmy Taylor
It’s always on her mind
I don’t know where I’ll wind up
But sure I know where I come from
Three stars that light the West, Middle, and East
That Tarheel State runs in your blood
Tobacco Roads and Cheerwine suds
I can't think of one good reason you’ll leave
My girl’s in Carolina
But my heart’s in Tennessee
Orange is my color
Hers is Carolina blue
Some colors go together
I’m not sure these do.
That blue ridge line between us
Seems higher all the time
And every mile between us
Is a hill we just can’t climb
I don’t know where I’ll wind up
But I sure know where I come from
Three stars that light the West, Middle, and East
That Tarheel State runs in your blood
Tobacco Roads and Cheerwine suds
I cant think of one good reason you’ll leave
My girl’s in Carolina
But my heart’s in Tennessee
She’s got Billy Graham and Copperline
I’ve got Sam and Davy on my side
This Newfound gap between us
Gets wider all the time
I don’t know where I’ll wind up
But I sure know where I come from
Three stars that light the West, Middle, and East
That Tarheel State runs in your blood
Tobacco Roads and Cheerwine suds
I can’t think of one good reason you’ll leave
My girl’s in Carolina
But my heart’s in Tennessee
It’s home sweet home to me
My heart’s in Tennessee

Verse 1
The light flashed in a blinding glare
The earth shook as if it would tear
Air rushes past me in a heated blast
I knew this day would be my last
The reaper has come as was foretold
The future of man will never unfold
Chorus 1
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
We’ve reached the end
We knew must
Glowing ashes
Burning dust
And the steel
Turning to rust
Verse 2
We’re not playing with swords and knives
We’re playing with a world of lives
The fate of man in all the lands
Lies in just too few hands
The men that lead must make a choice
But do they listen to the people’s voice
Chorus 2
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
We’ve reached the end
We knew must
Glowing ashes
Burning dust
All that’s left
Of our leaders lust
Verse 3
Does the story have to end this way
Can we change the final day
Is man destined to only this fate
Can we realize it’s not too late
If only each would do his share
Can you hear me or do you care
Chorus 3
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Which will win
Hate or trust
Glowing ashes
Burning dust
Shinning dreams
Turning to dust

Returns with a lady introduces me
With her sparkling eyes feel there’s chemistry
I don’t need to drown my troubles tonight
Things looking up and will tdurn out right
Ch
I said hello there,
She leaned to whisper in my ear
Over the barroom noise
all I could hear is“whiskey”
V
Hey bartender pour us a round.
She said, no thanks I live across town
Her girlfriend said we should go
her goodbye was short she let me know

It was her whisper not very clear
Barroom noise hard to hear
If not whiskey in that whisper
What could it be

My buddy said .. you’ll see her again
She slipped me her number said pass it to him.

Conversations ranged from weddings & anniversaries
birthdays, big games, fishing trips and beautiful dames
The said “He had it all”

Latch onto the friends that are true, the chosen few
Do the things you want to do, before your life gets away from you
And let your dreams come true. Let you dreams come true.

Tears in their eyes, as they sang along
A haunting requiem, a most familiar theme

Can walk a cowboy town
Without being gunned down.
Outlaws no chance staring down a barrel
His card “Have Gun will Travel” .When job done resides at Hotel Carlton.
Gun in holster on my side
wooden stick- horse to ride.
Milk and cookies inside.
Viewing Paladin when the hour arrives.

Hours glued to the TV set
Local stations of cowboys and indians
Gunsmoke, Rawhide, the Virginian.

We need to pass a test to drive a car. Only 007 had a license to kill
but he was fiction.
We need to stand our ground
If we're gonna win this war.
CH; It's the economy, stupid.

Read my lips. "No new taxes."
BR: Yes, I know it's complicated.
It's about mental health and

Someone's right to own a gun
shouldn't trump my right to live.

And the speaker of the house's

It's more about crackin down,

that Cracker Barrel.
Read my lips.
It's also about the guns.
CH: It's the economy stupid.
It takes a village idiot.
Read my lips.
It's also about the guns.
4. Annunciation started
their school year
With a mass shooting during mass.
We need more than
thoughts and prayers.
They were shot while
they were praying.
We need politicians who care
and offer more than
campaign sloguns.

Deep Fried lyrics/music Gene K Stewart
I still remember coming home, after Sunday meetin',
Couldn't wait to get to the table, where soon I would be eatin'.
The food prepared by Mama's hand, she'd worked so long and hard,
To make those heapin' helpin's of Chicken fried in Lard.
Chorus
Oh nothing ever tasted quite so wonderful to me,
Nothing ever meant more than the love of family.
Take my advice and give yourself life's tastiest reward,
And deep fry everyone you meet, in the Love of the Lord.
The years have come and mamas gone, but I can still recall,
The smells from mamas kitchen, how much she loved us all.
And in my families eyes I see, moms Blue Ribbon Reward,
Came when she Deep Fried all our hearts, In the Love of the Lord!

Aleppo

VERSE
The white stone walls are wasted and crumble.
Our bed, your picture lost in the rubble.
Wasn’t always this way - there was happiness too.
VERSE
With a sweep of my hand push the bomb dust away,
Crank the victrola ‘til sound fills the space.
In all of this madness - I still dream of you.
CHORUS
Aleppo, is music and starlit views.
Sacred nights where our love grew.
Where we danced for hours in this single furnished room.
Aleppo, for me will always be you.
VERSE
Forty years and we were never strangers.
How could we know there’d be this much danger.
Wasn’t always this way – but seeds were sown then bloomed
VERSE
Your hand in mine we ran through the streets.
Sirens blaring you fell next to me.
In all of this madness – I suddenly knew . . .
CHORUS
Aleppo, is empty with a somber truth.
Sacred nights where our love grew.
Where we danced for hours in this single furnished room.
Aleppo, for me will always be you.
VERSE
I’m sitting here in the sweater you made
Blown out windows, Kuzoff’s aria plays
Wasn’t always this way – so I dream of you.
CHORUS
Aleppo, is music and star lit views.
Sacred nights where our love grew.
Where we danced for hours in this single furnished room.
Aleppo, for me will always be
Aleppo, for me will always be you - you

I cant wipe your face
October

2025
This puzzle doesn't fit together
Sunburn in the rainy weather
All weird angles
Nothing works
we’re miles and miles apart
Business casual , army surplus
Clowns each from a different circus
A piece of work became a work of art
Glass is breaking
Walls are shaking
Hope You’ll stay a while
Cos I cant
wipe your face off my smile
Party next door got too boring
So I crashed yours, I broke the door in
Someone saw
I Said I was friend of a friend
I don't know how we started talking
I brushed you off said just keep walking
We spoke for hours, now I cant pretend I don't want you here
Glass is breaking
Walls are shaking
Hope You’ll stay a while
Cos I cant
wipe your face off my smile
I don't understand it
We could never have planned it
Glass is breaking
Walls are shaking
Hope You’ll stay a while
Cos I cant
wipe your face off my smile
So your place, my place
I don't care
We can be most anywhere
What we find if we don't change our minds
Glass is breaking
Walls are shaking
Hope You’ll stay a while
Cos I cant
wipe your face off my smile

V1
Waves of the river lapping at the door
In the darkness its hard to believe anymore
The pink of dawn brings flashlights shining
Rescuers arrive in divine timing
Chorus
Many hands make light work they say
Who the hell are they anyway
They’re the ones who make darkness recede
And the light work indeed.
V2
A battered woman arrives at the shelter
Shaking and screaming God help me tonight
Gentle hands reach out to help her
Out of that darkness into the light

Things That Give Me Hope
By Danny Liggett/Randy McClendon
V1
Some things I see make me feel lost I’ll never believe all the good has been tossed
Still there are things that bring light to the day, that’s when I find hope and begin to feel okay
{Chorus 1}
Like . . . the Smile of child. Flowers growing wild. Creations of art. That touch the heart.
These things give me hope
V2
I see these things, they always put me at ease. Remind me that people still do things like these.
Deep in our hearts, we truly do care. We look to be kind and act beyond compare.
{Chorus 2}
Like . . . Encouraging words. The song of songbirds. Friends helping friends. A love that
transcends.
These things give me hope
{Bridge}
Some people feel hopeless, and focus on life’s pain, but there is hope all around,
and so much yet to gain, if you just take the time to see the beauty around you and me.
{Chorus 3}
Like . . . Comradery of friends. Music that never ends. Writing songs of love. The kind we all
dream of. These things give me hope. These things give us all hope.
{Outro}
There is always hope.

Come Along, Let’s Play
By Dan DeHart
Verse 1
I hear your name is Jed and you’re here to stay
Well, my name is Joseph and I am here to play
So stop that crying and screaming and sleeping the day away
Get down off mama’s lap, so come along let’s play
Verse 2
I got lots of toys here, more than I can say
At GeeGee and PawPaws I got more and more each day
We will run the sprinkler and they will laugh and scream
Let's put on a show, we will be a team
Chorus
I got riding toys and slides and a swing under the tree
I got balls to throw and books to read and Elmo’s on TV
Just take my hand and come with me, and you will see
So what do you say, won't you play with me.
Bridge
I got treasures and treats in special places
I’ll share them with you, if you stay in my good graces
Verse 3
I've been there too, I know what you're going through
Your big brother has your back, now that I am two
Together we will make them proud, just me and you
I can't wait till you grow up so I can play with you.
Repeat Chorus and Tag last line

THE MIRROR
(Instrumental Intro)
I am just a mirror, I hang upon your wall,
I can see what you see, I can see it all…
You go out into a world, That rips you all apart,
You wind up staring at me, With that broken heart,
Ahhhh - With your broken heart…
I have seen your mother, Where shadows crawl below,
She says she doesn’t love you, Why, she does not know…
CHORUS
You spend your life looking for love,
You spend your life looking for it,
Wondering if it will ever fit,
Put it on…
You spend your life looking for it,
Wondering if it will ever fit,
Just put it on…
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK (per intro)
Sometimes you are happy, Sometimes you are not,
You wind up crying in me, ‘Cause I am all you’ve got…
I see you dancing with him, Imaginary friend,
Pretty dress, pretty smile, But I know how this will end…
I can see a father, So sad for what he’s done,
Mother’s hiding quietly, They’re in this alone,
Ahhhhh – They’re in this alone…
CHORUS
You spend your life looking for love,
You spend your life looking for it,
Wondering if it will ever fit,
Put it on…
You spend your life looking for it,
Wondering if it will ever fit,
Just put it on…
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
I am just a mirror, I hang upon your wall,
I can see what you see, I can see it all…
All the times you cried in me, I wish you could have known,
I tried but could not tell you, You’re not in this alone,
Ahhhhhh - You’re not in this alone…
