SHE CANT FIND HER CAR
She Cant Find Her Car
Verse
The bottom fell out of her shopping bags
In the rain
She was feeling like she'd gone mad
Too much pain
Pre-Chorus
Lost in her thoughts not sure where she
parked
Helpful stranger asked her what kind of
car?
Chorus
She said its blue like me
A little worn out like me
Bumper sticker, proud momma, baby on
board
Feathered dream catcher on her rear-
view mirror
Life treasures she adored
When everything was clearer
Now things are backwards
She cant find her car
Verse
Its been a year since he's been gone
Left her alone
Not easy being a single mom
Worked to the bone
Pre-Chorus
Lost in her thoughts not sure where she
parked
Helpful stranger asked her what kind of
car?
Chorus
She said its blue like me
A little worn out like me
Bumper sticker, proud momma, baby on
board
Feathered dream catcher on her rear-
view mirror
Life treasures she adored
When everything was clearer
Things had gone backwards
She can't find her car
Bridge
It was right in front of her
Blinded from hurt she couldn't see
Tear-stained life was a blur
She held tight to her keys
Verse
She knew it’s time to heal her heart
This too shall pass
Drove home on a new road to a fresh
start
A full tank of gas
Trail of loss not gonna crush her
Thankful for bright stars above
Lighting new love
(Outro)Chorus
Her car was blue like her
A little worn out like her
Precious cargo, baby on board
All life problems in her rearview mirror
She found her car --- END ---

GENTLEMAN FARMER
Gentleman Farmer
John Melusky Clare Steffen
Verse: 1
He was called from the start
To work the land and help families rise
He takes his hard hat and covers his
caring heart
Seeds of hope under hot Georgian skies
Chorus:
Gentleman Farmer
Hey Jimmy Carter
Now you're building homes in heaven
Framing a wing for the angels that sing
Gentleman Farmer
Verse 2:
Civil rights minds
Hadn’t yet reached his Georgia Farm
Faith was his strength in dark times
Color lines were his call to arms
Chorus:
Gentleman Farmer
Hey Jimmy Carter
Now you're building homes in heaven
Framing a wing for the angels that sing
Gentleman Farmer
Bridge
A Century of giving and doing God's work
You and Roz taught us how to serve
We felt your spirit
Over the universe
Outro
Hey Jimmy Carter
Cranked up the starter
Drove your truck right through those
pearly gates
Called to take your heavenly place
And the angels sing… (welcome home,
gentleman farmer, Jimmy Carter) --- END ---

LIVING SIMPLY
LIVING SIMPLY
John Melusky Clare Steffen
V1
Figured I better dial it back
Getting lost and losing my mind
Fell deep into a ego trap
So far gone I’ll be too hard to find
I gave it all I had to give
Felt like I wanted to quit
Pre-Chorus
Don’t depend on fame or fortune
To make you feel important
Chorus
Living simply is the key
To solving life’s problems
Living simply just might be
The road to my Serenity
Living simply is the key
Living simply, living simply
V2
If you know the questions
But don’t have the answers
Poker face has played her lessons
Better than most gamblers
Life can be a game of chance
Won’t be taken by fool’s gold
Pre-Chorus
Don’t depend on fame or fortune
To make you feel important
Chorus
Living Simply is the key
A little secret remedy
Unravels many mysteries
Bridge
Simplicity is where I want to be (positives attract)
It really isn’t hard to see Relax——Time to unplug
Outro
Living simply is the key
Living simply, living simply --- END ---

PERFECT BALANCE
V1
You carried and delivered, Life
stories in a song
From a scream to a whisper
Your feelings were so strong
Sam Stone brought us shivers
You hoped to change what was
wrong
Seeking perfect balance
V2
More than an old town legend
Life-long best friend, snow or rain
Served your country for a second
Came home to silent pain
Soldiers stories, too tragic,
Some to tell
On their way back from hell
Seeking perfect balance
Perfect balance
Pre-Chorus (Bridge?)
Trees fall for timber
Old people lose their glimmer
Chorus (Spoken word—Bridge)
Social commentary was a tasty
snack
Satire with our TV dinners
A side of humor with a six pack
Attracted all the saints and sinners
---Instrumental Break------
V3
Your words were melancholy
The truth can be that way
Melting like Salvador Dali
Persistence of memory
Your life though your song
Will always stay
To remind us not to sway
Seeking perfect balance
Seeking Perfect balance
Outro (spoken)
A man of many talents
Perfect balance
Amen --- END ---

TODAYS THE DAY
Chorus
Todays the day
Get a running start
Todays the day
Gonna do my part
No more holding back
Won't focus on what I lack
Takin a chance I'll find my way
Todays the day
V1
Getting free of my past
Feelin so weary
Dark and cloudy forecast
I Can't see clearly
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
V2
I know I can do it
Changing my old ways
So tired of feeling desperate
Like a rat in a maze
CHORUS
Bridge
Not looking in my rearview mirror
Or focused on what might have been
Skies are looking clearer
Now I'm determined to win
CHORUS --- END ---

YOURE THE MAGIC
You’re the Magic
John Melusky Clare Steffen
V1
Gentle snow fell on that silent night
Waiting for my love to come home
Stars were shining extra bright
Written for our Christmas poem
chorus
I’m dreamin ‘ of you, (dreamin’ of you)
I close my eyes and feel you near
Let’s have a secret rendezvous (rendevous)
We’ll sing and toast to holiday cheer
My dreams come true
You’re the magic-magic-magic

Doorstep light shining red and green
Holly wreath hangs on the door
Welcome mat with your favorite scene
Cause it’s you that I adore

I’m dreamin‘ of you, (dreamin’ of you)
I close my eyes and feel you near
Let’s have have a secret rendezvous (rendevous)
We’ll sing and toast to holiday cheer

Tender heart warms cold winter air
Special times give us a reason
Priceless gift wrapped with loving care
Believe in the wonder of the season
chorus
Dreamin‘ of you, (dreamin’ of you)
I close my eyes and feel you near
Let’s have a secret rendezvous (rendevous)
We’ll sing and toast to holiday cheer

BETWEEN THE LOST AND FOUND
Somewhere Between the Lost and Found
Clare Steffen John Melusky
V1
You were walking down the right road
And I was walking down the left
You let all your feelings show
I protected mine from theft
pre-chorus
Didn't want you to steal my heart
Was afraid I'd never get it back
Guess I wasn't very smart
An empty heart can't see what it
lacks
Chorus
Somewhere between the lost and found
Searching to find my way out
Don't know if it's right or wrong
Hell-bent and heaven bound
Trying to quiet all your doubts
I'll stop pretending I was strong
I was stuck between the lost and found
V2
Didn't know what I was looking for
Thought I had it all figured out
My mind was playing tug of war
You gave me so much to think
about
pre-chorus
Didn't want you to steal my heart
Was afraid I'd never get it back
Guess I wasn't very smart
An empty heart can't see what it lacks
Chorus
Somewhere between the lost and found
Searching to find my way out
Don't know if it's right or wrong
Hell-bent and heaven bound
Trying to quiet all your doubts
I'll stop pretending I was strong
Here with you between the lost and
found
Bridge (Instrumental)
Chorus
Somewhere between the lost and found
I’ve finally found my way out
Stopped pretending that I’m strong
No longer Hell bent, I’m heaven bound
Outro
I’m not stuck between the lost and found --- END ---
