VERSE [(1 5 6 4) x3 / 1 5 1 1] x2 I was certain I had it all figured out Till I first laid eyes on that new baby's smile Diapers and toys were what it was all about Every grin was putin' heaven in my heart I wanna play a little baseball throwin' The guys can all keep callin' I just can't go I got birthday cakes, singing along and growin' All this livin' is putin' heaven in my heart CHORUS (4 4 1 1 / 4 1 5 / 4 1 5 / 4 5) x2 I've traded in my manly games & toys And each night I say a thankful prayer for being a part Of a family so full of love and joy Thank God for putin' heaven in my heart VERSE Now I'm just standin' starin' at one grey hair When I get a hug says I love you every day A tear falls down my cheek and into midair And it’s fallin’, is puttin' heaven in my heart REPEAT CHORUS SOLO REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE (1 4 6 5) these first steps have been call’n and call’n slap down that doubt and fear when it feels like rain is fall’n and fall’n time to courage the hell up and lean into the storm VERSE it’s time to stand up and rise above the doubt work through the pain and pay no never mind look into the grey bare your teeth and shout dance in the rain as you lean into the storm CHORUS put that foot forward closer to the fire dance in the rain and give away the pain You've found a way to reach up higher so stand up tall and lean into that storm VERSE stand tall when you see the goal insight you found the person you like you weathered the thunder and all its might you leaned into the storm and came out the other side REPEAT CHORUS SOLO REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE (1 1 5 4) x4 When I first met genie, she was tall and cool With her crooked little grins The more I danced with her, the more I fell in love With Genie’s little sins She looked like a dream come true When I walked in through that door She seemed to know what was going to happen Like she did this before CHORUS (1 5 6 4) x4 I thought I knew the score, I didn’t Thought I was in control, I wasn’t Say I could break this off, I couldn’t Thought a drink would help, it doesn’t Genie, oh genie, my love Wish you’d take away the pain Genie, oh genie, my love I was the only one to blame VERSE Genie, please go back in that bottle of dread Shoulda never opened you up Give me some fresh air and a clear head So I can drive when the night is done So much for just one

“Country in the Calm” lost in the forest of concrete and steel can't hear your song above the din Its hard to breath in all the turmoil time to stop the maze and find your grin time to put some dust on your boots ya this will clean the city right out of you time to put some dust on your hat this will put some country in your calm stop and watch to the wheat fields wave listen to the rustle of the corn hear the horse nicker to the mares feel your smile replace that scorn time to put some dust on your boots ya this will clean the city right out of you time to put some dust on your hat this will put some country in your calm let me walk on those country roads with sun baked fence posts let me see the green fields let me feel the dirt with my toes time to put some dust on your boots ya this will clean the city right out of you time to put some dust on your hat this will put some country in your calm In my heart the country is my home. time to say what I have always known.

Stand Up bless the ones that found guts to take a soldiers oath to serve, defend and never retreat.. so help me god learned to push their limits learned to march together with a cadence song They shined and trained with their brothers to become our nations strong so stand up when our colors are marching through so stand up and cover your heart with your hand so stand up when the stars come into view so stand up and salute our flag with me and you They wore their dog tags and coverd their scars when they prayed to forget what they saw with love of family, faith and friends they learned to enjoy life again to walk and stand tall so stand up when our colors are marching through so stand up and cover your heart with your hand so stand up when the stars come into view so stand up and salute our flag with me and you remember the forgotten remember the lost remember the folded flag in the box... the triangle box so stand up when our colors are marching through so stand up and cover your heart with your hand so stand up when the stars come into view so stand up and salute our flag with me and you stand up.... stand up.... stand up.... stand up.... stand up.... stand up....
