LET ME DRIVE


I CAN SEE THAT YOU’RE A
COWBOY WHO GETS JUST WHAT HE WANTS

I BET YOU WANNA GET ME UP IN THE SHOT GUN
AND TAKE THIS COWGIRL FOR A LITTLE RUN BUT
I THINK YOU BETTER KNOW BEFORE YOU SHOW ME WHAT… YOU… GOT…

CHORUS 1.
BOY YOU GOTTA LET ME DRIVE THIS CAR
TAKING ME TO WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
WE COULD TAKE THIS WHOLE THING A LITTLE TOO FAR
I'M FEELIN IT..BOY YOU'RE KILLIN IT
LET ME SLIDE BEHIND THE WHEEL
AIN’T NO TELLIN’ WITH THE WAY I FEEL
IF WE TAKE OUR TIME WE COULD DRIVE ALL NIGHT
THIS COULD BE THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
IF YOU LET ME DRIVE, GOTTA LET ME DRIVE

FROM THE MOMENT THAT I SAW YOU, BABY I COULD FEEL A SPARK
THOSE KEYS IN YOUR POCKET ARE LOOKIN FOR A FIRE TO START
TRUST ME WITH THE MUSCLE OF THAT TURBO V-8
THIS CHEVY’S BUILT FOR RUNNIN’ ON THE TWO LANE
YOU GOT THE GAS, AND BABY I GOT A LITTLE HELL… TO… RAISE


CHORUS: 2
BOY YOU GOTTA LET ME DRIVE THIS CAR
TAKING ME TO WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE
WE COULD TAKE THIS WHOLE THING A LITTLE TOO FAR
I'M FEELIN IT..BOY YOU'RE KILLIN IT

GETTIN OVER YOU

YOU'VE GOT A TOUCH THAT MAKES ME COME UNDONE
WELL I FIND YOU'VE BEEN SPREADIN' THAT TOUCH AROUND

I'M A LONG TIME OVERDUE, GETTIN' OVER YOU

THOSE LONG LEGS AND BLUE EYES THEY DON'T COME FOR FREE

Lyrics

THE RIVER


SHE WAS YOUNG AND HE WAS OLD AND SHE WAS SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL
IN A SMALL SHACK ON THE RIVERBANK, SHE FELT HIS BLOWS SO HARD AND CRUEL
HE STOLE HER HEART AND BROKE HER DREAMS OF BEING A GOOD WIFE
TOO LATE TO GO RUNNING HOME NOW AND LIVE HER MAMA'S LIFE

Pre:
THEN ONE NIGHT IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT AS HE LAY PASSED OUT IN THE
VAN
SHE CLOSED HER EYES AND CROSSED HER HEART AND CARRIED OUT HER
PLAN

CHORUS:
THE RIVER RUNS WIDE AND THE RIVER RUNS DEEP
AND OH THE SECRETS THAT RIVER DOES KEEP
THE RIVER IS SWIFT AND IT'S COLD AND BLACK
AND NO, HE AIN'T NEVER, EVER COMIN' BACK

SHE CRIED WHEN THE SHERIFF SHOWED UP AND AS HE LOOKED ALL AROUND
HE SHOOK HIS HEAD GOT BACK IN HIS CAR AND DROVE BACK TO TOWN
THE MEANEST MAN HAD DISAPPEARED AND HER STORY WAS CONVINCING
NOBODY GAVE A DAMN BOUT THE REASON HE WENT MISSING



REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
LATE THAT SPRING THERE CAME A DROUGHT
AND SHE KNEW SHE COULDN'T STAY
SO SHE LEFT TOWN ON A BUS SOUTHBOUND
PRAYING FOR A HEAVY RAIN


REPEAT CHORUS:

TAG:
WHEN SHE THINKS ABOUT HER PAST IT MAKES HER SHIVER
'CUZ ALL HER SECRETS ARE DOWN THERE IN THE RIVER





















































































































































ANGEL

Lyrics

Daddy whispers to his baby girl
we're all alone in this great big world but
we're gonna make it thru this life together.

though your mama gave her life for you.
i'll do anything she wanted me to and
i will keep you in my heart forever..

'cuz you're the angel who saves me everyday
when you smile that smile it takes all of the hurt away..and
your love gives me all the hope and strength i'll ever need
and babygirl, you'll always be..the angel who saves me


now he says to his 12 year old..
i can't believe how you have grown..
sure we've had some tough times but we made it
'cuz when i think life's fallin' apart
like your mama, you've got such a heart.. and
girl, you so freely gave it..

chorus: 2
'cuz you're an angel who saves me everyday
when you smile that smile, it takes all of the hurt away..
your love gives me all the hope and strength i'll ever need
and babygirl, you'll always be.. the angel who saves me.. saves me.. the angel who saves.. me

bridge:
how the years have passed and all too soon it's her wedding day
on the ride to the church she takes daddy's hand and tears up as she says

.
chorus 3:
you're an angel who saves me..everyday
a smile from you will always take the hurt away
Sure I'm movin' on, but you'll never be alone..'cuz
Daddy, you will always be.. the angel who saves me..
[together]-the angel who saves me.. the angel who saves me...you're the angel who
saves me.. everyday..

BILLY RAY
Way back in the summer of ’92
Turned on the tv and I saw you
Singing ’bout your achy breaky heart
I was hooked right from the start
So I got your cds at the record store ‘an
Put your life size poster on my bedroom door

Oh I can’t help the way I feel
My cowboy dream, you don’t seem real
I can’t get you outta’ my mind
No, I don’t even wanna try
I feel that thunder in my chest and
My friends say that I’m obsessed…oh
Billy Ray, Billy Ray, Billy Ray

Hannah, Doc, yeah you’re Still the King
Cuz I’d do just about anything
To hear you sing and see your face
Even Elvis couldn’t take your place
Maybe it’s the hair, the shades, the ‘stache
You just make me wanna spend all my cash

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:
In my town you’re doing a show
Now I bought my tickets for the front row
New boots, tight jeans …I look real sweet
I’ll be first in line for the meet and greet .
Well, I got real close, but it wasn’t enough
So I sneaked right onto your tour bus,
Then security caught me and dragged me away
But not before I could say…

Chorus 2:
Oh I can’t help the way I feel
My cowboy dream, I know you’re real
I can’t get you outta’ my mind
No I don’t even wanna’ try
I feel that thunder in my chest
And I know that I’m obsessed…oh
Billy Ray, Billy Ray, Billy Ray

BLUE DENIM BLUE

Lyrics
I found the denim jacket that you gave me long ago
Years have passed, but it still gives me comfort just to hold
Like an old love letter, it has so many words to say
As if those summer nights would never ever fade away...
Only the colors remain...of

Blue denim blue...warm summer nights
You’re holding me, by the dashboards pale light
First love at seventeen..in our hearts so true
I still keep the memory of you...in blue denim blue

That old denim jacket made a place for us to lay
I can almost smell the perfume I wore for you that day
Thinking ‘bout those blue eyes..I can see your smile
As you handed me that jacket for the long, chilly nights
Saying you’d be back by summertime...for that

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

We didn’t need a reason..for moving on
For love can change with seasons till the color’s gone..from

Repeat Chorus:

ARE YOUR REASONS RIGHT

Lyrics
THE PREACHER'S DRIVIN ROUND TOWN †IN HIS BRAND NEW CADILLAC
SEES A HOMELESS MAN BEGGIN BY THE RAILROAD TRACK
HE GIVES THE MAN A FIVE-DOLLAR BILL AND HOPES HE WILL SURVIVE
RIGHT THEN HE GOT THE WORDS TO HIS SERMON LIKE A FLASH OF LIGHT

WHEN YOUR HEAD'S BOWED IN PRAYER TONITE
ASK YOURSELF IF YOUR REASONS ARE RIGHT
ARE YOU PRAYIN FOR THE HELPLESS SOUL WHOSE EVERY HOPE IS GONE
WHO'S LOST AND ALL ALONE
CAUSE THE GOOD LORD'S ON YOUR SIDE
SO ASK YOURSELF TONITE…
ARE YOUR REASONS RIGHT

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SERMON, WHEN THEY PASSED THAT PLATE AROUND
RIGHT THERE IN THE FRONT ROW WAS THE HOMELESS MAN HE FOUND
WHEN THE BEGGAR PUT FIVE DOLLARS IN THE PLATE
HE KNEW THAT THE GOOD LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS

WHEN YOUR HEAD'S BOWED IN PRAYER TONITE
ASK YOURSELF IF YOUR REASONS ARE RIGHT
ARE YOU PRAYIN FOR THE PREACHER WHO'S LIFE HAS TURNED AROUND
WHO'S REACHED A HIGHER GROUND
CAUSE †THE GOOD LORD'S ON YOUR SIDE
SO ASK YOURSELF TONITE…
ARE YOUR REASONS RIGHT

AS HE FACED THE CONGREGATION, HE FELT SO SATISFIED
CAUSE HE HAD FOUND A LASTING TREASURE NO MONEY COULD BUY..SO

WHEN YOU HEAD'S BOWED IN PRAYER TONITE,
ASK YOURSELF IF YOUR REASONS ARE RIGHT
ARE YOU PRAYIN' FOR THE SINNERS WHO GOT LOST IN THE SHADOWS OF LIFE
TILL THEY REMEMBERED WRONG FROM RIGHT
YOU KNOW THE GOOD LORD'S ON YOUR SIDE
SO ASK YOURSELF TONITE…
ARE YOUR REASONS RIGHT
SO ASK YOURSELF TONITE…

THAT AIN’T NO POTION STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL THE PAIN
WHEN YOU’RE FULL UP WITH REGRET
AN’ YOU’RE TRYIN TO FORGET
IT’S A COFFEE… IN YOUR WHISKEY… KIND OF DAY

JUST TO KEEP THIS, CRAZY HEART FROM BREAKIN'
GOT TO FAKE IT, TAKE A, LITTLE DRASTIC ACTION
I DON’T WANT TO FEEL NO TEARS OR HEAR NO LAME ASS ALIBI
CAUSE I KNOW… WHEN THAT SUN GOES… THEY’LL BE NO… SLEEP TONIGHT

THAT AIN’T NO POTION STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL THE PAIN
WHEN YOUR FULL UP WITH REGRET
AND YOU’RE TRYIN TO FORGET

AINT’ NO DO AROUND, GOIN’ DOWN, TO THE COLD SOUND OF GOODBYE
IT’S A CRYIN SHAME, WHEN YOU HOLD THE BLADE, THAT CUT THE TIES THAT BIND

Lyrics
V1:
First love at the edge of sixteen
First kiss a sweet teenage dream
Two hearts beating like thunder
In my first car..one hot summer …
Thought our love would keep us together, but
That first goodbye was goodbye forever

Chorus:
You will always be my first love
That 16 summer was never (gonna be) enough
Yeah, I’d do it all over again
The sun, the stars, the moon, the rain, and then
Like an angel sent from above
You will always be my first love (my first love)

V2:
The first time I walked out that door
Crazy boy, what was I looking for
I put your heart on a string
Just like first love didn’t mean a thing
If only I could hit rewind
And take us back to that first time
..when

Guess I can never forget
That first summer that we met

Breakin Hearts and Burnin Bridges

He was born one night in a hurricane
His mama never knew his daddy's last name
They were both hell raisers who died too young
Barely 14 and he was on his own
Scared and hungry with no place to sleep
He grew up angry livin on the streets


He's breakin hearts and burnin bridges
Wild and free on a dead end road
He's breakin hearts and burnin bridges
Nothin to prove when you're all alone



Had some crazy nights with a Cajun queen
He loved her but he left her down in New Orleans
Never worked a job where he got along
Cuz somebody always done him wrong
Though the fire raged in his eyes
He hid that anger deep down inside

Repeat Chorus:

He's lovin hard when the whiskey flows
He's runnin on empty and they never know that
He ain't ever gonna trust no one and
He'll be gone by morning sun

Man:
We went a little crazy and we had another fight
I could say that you were wrong and that I was right
So I went to the wrong place to help me forget, cause
A man can be headstrong to the point of regret

Man:
I could tell you she didn't mean a thing at the time
Cause being with her made me realize... that
I can't cut the strings from your heart to mine... but
No, I wasn't your man last night

Woman:
I could say that I'm leaving and tell you we're through, but
Sometimes it takes two lies to get to the truth
Cause I found me a barstool on the far side of town
It's easy getting even when a girl's looking 'round

Woman:
I could tell you he didn't mean a thing at the time
Cause being with him made me realize...that
I can't cut the strings from your heart to mine..but
No, I wasn't your woman last night

Bridge: Together
Was it foolish pride or was it fate?
That we both could be regretting the same mistake

Chorus 2: Toghether
Cause I know it didn't mean a thing at the time
Cause baby I've finally come to realize, that
I can't cut the strings from your heart to mine

Yes, I'll be your man tonight

She's was washin' her car in her Daisy Dukes

Ain't nothin finer than the great outdoors
I'm a real good neighbor, if there's something she needs
She can come to me.. for..

They were two little kids not so long ago
hand in hand to school down that long dirt road
Their world was right, their hearts were true
Two best friends seeing each other through
Then one night, in the blink of an eye
Her mama's leaving changed the path of their lives

Pre chorus:
He said, you got a daddy you never see, but
Girl, you’ve got a friend in me, so..

Follow my lovin' lead
Gonna let you lean on me
Make your worries fade
Make you feel real safe
Put, your hand in mine
I’ll give you the strength you need..
Follow my lovin’ lead

She can’t wait to move away from this lonely town
and to find another place to lay roots down
He said where you’re going I wanna be
You’re all I want and you’re all I need
Never thought friendship could turn to love

MONDAY MORNING CRAZY

Plays: 8
Lyrics


Monday morning crazy

I know what's coming and it's breaking my heart
Your taillights fading off in the dark but
Motel promises linger when the lights are gone
You'll be lieing to her while I'm lying awake
Alone Sunday, but I'll be ok ..I'll be
Wrapped up in your memory all day long

Feeling no pain, but baby come the dawn..

Chorus 1.
I'll be Monday morning crazy
crazy goin out of my mind
Waitin for the weekend baby
Feels like every day is Monday morning crazy
Monday morning crazy

This time I was thinking that i got it all right
but all I got were some weekend nights
Living on passion that was built on broken faith
All the little lies i believed..but
I'm stronger now, at least I'd like to be
Building up the courage that will take this pain away

Even though I know this heart will go insane...

Chorus 2
I'll be Monday morning crazy
Crazy going out of my mind
I can't take another weekend , baby
feels like every day is Monday morning crazy
Crazy...

Tomorrow night is Saturday, I got the courage
I'm gonna say ...this time I'll be driving away from you
Still I hope you never feel what I've been through..
What I've been through

Chorus 3.
Monday morning crazy, crazy goin out of my mind
I can't take another weekend, baby
Giving back the love you gave me
No more Monday morning crazy

I know what's coming and it's breaking my heart
My taillights fading off ...in the dark....

IN PICTURES

Lyrics
It’s just a faded picture of you as a baby
Smiling in your highchair, hair soft and wavy
I’m by your side and you’re touching my hand
Even then, you were a tough, little man

Things have changed so much over the years
I look at more photos and I cry a little tear
You’re playing baseball, and hit it clean through
That cap and gown sure looked good on you

In pictures, keeping you close to me
In pictures, on our vaity and
I’m finding the comfort that I need..
Cause you’re building a bridge across eternity..in pictures ..in pictures

Left your wife and your baby, before he was born
Now he looks at your picture in that new uniform
He’s smiling and laughing and oh by the way
He pointed and said “daddy” for the first time today..

At your picture, keeping you close to me
In your picture, on top of our TV and
I’m finding the comfort that I need..
Cause you’re building a bridge across eternity… in pictures..in pictures

Bridge:

In pictures, I keep holding on- saying my prayers till you come back home
Cause I’ts like youve been here all along

In pictures, keeping you close to me
Tied with a ribbon to that old oak tree and
I’m finding the comfort that I need..
Cause you’re building a bridge across eternity..in pictures…in pictures

In pictures…hm..hm…hm…in pictures

Lyrics
Guys, there’s nothing you do we can’t do, too
Can plant fields, fish in cricks, and even fix roofs
We ride tractors and brush hogs, drive pickup trucks
And best believe we get the hay put up

But we know, it’s a tricky line you gotta walk
So here’s a clue ‘bout what we want

[chorus]
Treat us the same, only different
Ain’t nothin wrong with special treatment
We won’t get offended if you give us your seat
No, that don’t make us delicate or weak
Don’t worry bout what it is or what it isn’t
Just treat us the same, only different
Treat us the same, only different

We like watchin football, shootin pool, drinkin wine
Like dirty jokes, partyin hard, stayin out all night
Don’t mind if you watch us walkin down the street
Just keep your hands to yourself, boys, play sweet

It’s no secret by now cause you’ve all heard
We ain’t living in your mama’s world

[chorus]

[b]
We don’t expect you to pick up every tab
Call us ma’am or take off your hat
Hope we’ve cleared up that

TINY CHRISTMAS TREE. Male or female

Lyrics

There was no santa claus, no wreath or fancy decorations
Just us three little kids who made our own celebration
Poor Mama did her very best to give life to our dreams
When she put those goodies on our tiny Christmas tree



Tiny Christmas tree so beautiful with your twinkling string of lights
Every Christmas brought us hope and made our world look bright
Oh we will never forget the joy that we would feel
When mama decorated that tiny Christmas tree


Tiny Christmas tree just 3 feet tall with candy canes to share
In a corner by the window on a little wooden chair
Second hand angel on top for everyone to see
How we loved those cookies and choc-late drops so sweet



Repeat chorus:

Bridge:
Now we are all grown up with children of our own
We each have two Christmas trees that decorate our homes
One big special one with many presents underneath
And another to remember mama's tiny Christmas tree


Repeat chorus:

I thought I literally heard my mother calling me one morning.. Then really missed my parents even more.
Lyrics
Something To Hold On To.

In a distant memory i heard my mama callin' me
Honey, it's time to come in and eat
As we bow our heads and say our grace
She says, keep your god and your good name and
I'm right back in that special place cuz

Chorus:

It gives me something to hold on to
Keeps me strong and gets me through
Sometimes life's just gonna hurt, so
Those memories are where I turn, yeah
That feeling always comes to my rescue
I've got something to hold on to

In a distant memory, I heard my daddy tellin' me
Drive careful now as he tossed me his car keys
Be kind and patient along the way
Cause it's what you give, not what you take and
I'm right back in that special place ..cuz


Repeat chorus:

Bridge:
Went from pink hair bows and painted toes
To old blue jeans and teenage dreams
And all too soon was out there on my own
I cherish all the things they had to say
'Cause they made me who I am today..no

I wouldn't trade a single minute cuz
I close my eyes and I'm right there in it

(Girl) You hit me like a blitz attack
Couldn’t move, couldn’t speak
Was thrown off my track
Didn’t know what came over me
Cause my heart was hijacked
You became my sun when the clouds were black

PC1
Been dancing barefoot to my beats
Cartwheels in my sleep
(This body’s reached one-hundred degrees)

I’m flippin’ over you
Woohoohoo
I’ve fallen yet I’m flyin’
Woohoohoo
I’m flip, flip, flippin’ over you- ou- ou

My feet no longer touch the ground
Can’t help it, never felt it
I’m spinning around
Can’t stop thinking about your kiss
Feelin’ like I’m heaven-bound
I don’t ever wanna come down

PC2
Can’t explain what’s happ’ning to me
I’m heart over heels
(I’m lovin’ livin’ this new reality)

I’m flippin’ over you
Woohoohoo
I’ve fallen yet I’m flyin’
Woohoohoo
I’m flip, flip, flippin’ over you-ou- ou

I've fallen yet I'm flyin, spinning around
Feeling weightless, heaven bound
No gravity I'm rising to the sky
In this love story it's you and I
No need for wings when I'm soaring high above
Lost in the melody of this love
You've got me flyin', girl you do
You got me flippin over you

BELIEVE IN THE GIFT

[Verse 1]
How can you know when it all begins
There are times you’ll lose, but you’ll also win
How could you know on the hardest days
An invisible force is there always

[Pre 1]
I know it seems unlikely
But the force is a gift from the Almighty
[CHORUS]
When you believe in The Gift
You’ll never feel alone
The doors are open
The light is always on
Open your heart to everyone
And give
When you believe in the gift

[Verse 2]
We shine when we help others to succeed
‘Cause deep down inside we have what we need
Lift those in need as you make the climb
Help souls rise in this beautiful life

[Pre 2]
And when you're afraid
Just breathe and do it anyway

[CHORUS]
When you believe in The Gift
You’ll never feel alone
The doors are open
The light is always on
Open your heart to everyone
And give
When you believe in the gift

I wouldn't trade my life for anything
The good, bad, and miracles in between
I've been around a real long time
Everybody has a prayer
Here's mine

Believe in The Gift
Speak up, be brave
Keep an open mind
Leave no one behind
Live your purpose
Give back, be of service
Embrace everyone and lift
You can do this

You can do anything
When you believe in the gift

Get the kids to school, don’t speed
Do the laundry, mow the lawn
Dancing in the kitchen to her favorite song

She's kind, she's cool
She can bend the rules

She never complains
She's in the fast lane
No way she’s lazy
Some days are crazy
No time for the drama
Here's to all the
21st Century Mamas
Wine from her coffee cup, make a few budget cuts
She's serving mashed potatoes and her meatloaf up
Do the dishes, watch the game, help with homework, can’t be late
Tomorrow gonna do it again
Through it all, she's got a plan
Doing all she can, she's got the future in her hands

She doesn't get much time to herself
cause the kids are gonna need something else

When I think about us
I think dim, green dashboard lights
my daddy's old truck
Under the stars… you holding me tight

Hot and sweet you said you’d always love me
Taking me back to when we were 17

(Whoa-oh) Never wanted you to go
(Whoa-oh) Never wanted you to stop
(Whoa-oh) Like two young lovers in a movie scene, you were all mine
(Whoa-oh) Never wanted love to change
(Whoa-oh) but, Nothing stays the same
(Woah-oh) caught up in your deep blue eyes,17,summertime

Cool breeze warm night
I grabbed my guitar for a sing along
gathered around the bonfire
We all know the words to that alabama song

Soft pink lips sipping your gin through a straw
Way back then we sure had it all

(Whoa-oh) Never wanted you to stop

Back In The Country
Rita Weyls, Chris Ising

Growing up in a small town
Ain't nobody talkin bout sticking around
Every kid wants to get out as fast as they can
I hit eighteen and hit the road
Where I was headin' naw I didn't know
But any place had to be better than this farmin' land

Friday night football games
Bonfires with a southern breeze
Didn't think I'd miss a thing
But I miss it every day

I'm chasin’ down these city lights
But I miss the small town country life
Where everybody knows everybody's name
Where time moves on but ain't nothin' change
I swore one day I’d be long gone
Cause I didn’t know then we had it goin’ on
Man I'd give about anything
To be back in the country
Chasin’ down these city lights
But I miss the small town life
Yeah I wanna be back in the country

Growin up in a small town
Dirt roads, pickups, just driving around
Singin' every word to the songs on the radio

Sunday church and Mama's sweet tea
Workin' on cars my buddies and me
I didn't think I'd miss a thing
But I miss it every day

I'm chasin’ down these city lights
But I miss the small town country life
Where everybody knows everybody's name
Where time moves on but ain't nothin' change
I swore one day I’d be long gone
Cause I didn’t know then we had it goin’ on
Man I'd give about anything
To be back in the country
Chasin’ down these city lights

Yeah I wanna be back in the country

Cause I didn’t know then we had it goin’ on
Man I'd give about anything
To be back in the country

Burn

VERSE 1:

ALONE WITH YOU AND I KNOW IT’S GONNA HURT
THERE’S NOT ANOTHER SOUL WHO CAN SPEAK WITHOUT WORDS
THE AIR IS THICK AS I INHALE THE ROOM
IF I HAD THE STRENGTH, I'D RUN FROM YOU

PRE CHORUS

YOUR FINGERTIPS IGNITE
MY SKIN, I FEEL IT DEEP WITHIN

CHORUS

I BURN…… BUT I CAN’T EVEN MOVE
CAUGHT UP IN THE SPARK OF ME AND YOU
YOU’RE A WILDFIRE THAT SPREADS THROUGH MY MIND
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU’D STRIKE EACH MATCH YOU COULD FIND
AND I BURN…… I BURN


VERSE 2:

SO IS IT LOVE THAT MAKES IT SO SURREAL
I TRY, THEN I CRY, BUT YOU NEVER REVEAL
WHAT YOU GOT HIDDEN ( YOU HIDE) BEHIND THOSE HOODED EYES
YOUR SECRETS KEEP ME GUESSING AND I'M TERRIFIED

PRE-CHORUS

I CAN'T HIDE THE SCARS ON MY HEART
THESE FRACTURES TEAR ME APART

CHORUS

I BURN…… BUT I CAN’T EVEN MOVE
CAUGHT UP IN THE SPARK OF ME AND YOU
YOU’RE A WILDFIRE THAT SPREADS THROUGH MY MIND
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU’D STRIKE EACH MATCH YOU COULD FIND
AND I BURN…… I BURN


VOCALIZE- AAHS

I BURN…… BUT I CAN’T EVEN MOVE
CAUGHT UP IN THE SPARK OF ME AND YOU
YOU’RE A WILDFIRE THAT SPREADS THROUGH MY MIND

COFFEE IN YOUR WHISKEY
Rita Weyls, Rick Beresford



GOTTA WAKE UP, GET UP, GET OUTTA BED
WHILE HER HURTIN’, WORDS GO, ROUND IN MY HEAD
SHE THREW HER CLOTHES, AND ALL SHE OWNS IN A SKY BLUE CADILLAC
AN’ I KNOW… WHEN SHE GOES… THERE AIN’T NO… TURNIN’ BACK

THIS AIN’T NO WHISKEY IN YOUR COFFEE KIND OF MORNING.
THAT AIN’T NO POTION STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL THE PAIN
WHEN YOU’RE FULL UP WITH REGRET
AN’ YOU’RE TRYIN TO FORGET
IT’S A COFFEE… IN YOUR WHISKEY… KIND OF DAY

JUST TO KEEP THIS, CHEATIN, HEART FROM BREAKIN'
GOT TO FAKE IT, TAKE A, LITTLE DRASTIC ACTION
I DON’T WANT TO FEEL NO TEARS OR HEAR NO LAME ASS ALIBI
CAUSE I KNOW… WHEN THAT SUN GOES… THEY’LL BE NO… SLEEP TONIGHT

THIS AIN’T NO WHISKEY IN YOUR COFFEE KIND OF MORNING.
THAT AIN’T NO POTION STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL THE PAIN
WHEN YOUR FULL UP WITH REGRET
AND YOU’RE TRYIN TO FORGET
IT’S A COFFEE… IN YOUR WHISKEY… KIND OF DAY

AINT’ NO DO AROUND, GOIN’ DOWN, TO THE COLD SOUND OF GOODBYE
IT’S A CRYIN SHAME, WHEN YOU HOLD THE BLADE, THAT CUT THE TIES THAT BIND
GOT TO FIND A WAY,  TO ERASE THIS DAY, IF I HAVE TO LIVE A LIE
GOT TO POUND A FEW, WHEN YOU KNOW THE TRUTH,  HE AIN'T… NO FRIEND OF MINE

Christmas Spirit

The first snow of the season falls
  ?Old Saint Nick’s in shopping malls??
Bright lights everywhere ?And there’s magic in the air??
Friends and family gathered close ?
To open gifts and make a toast ??
Everybody’s got that Christmas spirit now

Telling stories by the fire?
Makes us feel so inspired?
Nothing else compares?
To the joy that we share?
We have waited all year long
?To sing our favorite yuletide songs?
Everybody’s got that Christmas spirit now

Bridge?
Making angels in the snow?
We don’t even mind the cold?Oh Oh Oh

Solo - Everybody’s got that Christmas spirit now
Bridge?Thankful hearts will celebrate?The peace and love of the day ?Oh Oh Oh

Place the star atop the tree?Shining oh so perfectly?
Decorations from the past?
Bring us memories that last?
All the things that we hold dear?
Will bring us back again next year

Everybody’s got that Christmas spirit ?
Everybody’s got that Christmas spirit ?
Everybody’s got that Christmas spirit now

Lyrics
First friend, you were just two doors down
We ran together till you left town
Young and restless fighting battles on your own
...you’ve been gone too long

... Your little sins have no definition
... That’s why they’re so easily forgiven
... Don’t you drown in deep regrets
(Cause) sometimes, life just makes no sense

Ch.
You’re slightly beat, but you’re not broken
Wandered along this road alone
Your spirit tired but heart still open so
Come on home... come on home

V

The tears they dry but the words still burn
There is no shame when the pain returns
Cos Its ok if you’re not ok
The way i feel... will never change

You have your demons, just like everyone else
Right now Its time to learn to love yourself

Gotta work 2 jobs to fund this life
But for me it’s the only way that feels right
I’m the 4th generation to live this “dream”

Gran pappy taught daddy, he taught me
To carry on our wild west legacy
It ain’t an option, it’s in my genes

Pre:
Rodeoin’ ain’t for everyone
It’s the only thing, I’ve ever loved

CH:
It takes nerves of steel, guts and grit
When you get bucked off to never quit
Ignore the pain … when it’s too much
Say a prayer, hope for luck,
you just can’t get enough
It’s dangerous and rough, thank God, I’m Cowboy Tough

V:
Before the roar of the crowd settles down
Gotta pack it all up to head to the next town
My old truck, it don’t drive itself

I say sorry pretty lady, I can't stay
I smile and tip my hat then I’m on my way
This never slowing down ain’t helping my health

Guess you could say, I found out the hard way
Seeing you with her at the Honky Tonk Hideaway
Never thought that you’d cheat on me
Knew I had to leave, so jumped in my Jeep

There ain’t no reason to save the date
Ain’t no reason to take your last name

Gonna light them up
And watch ‘em burn
Dying like embers of hurt
Got no time to be wastin’
Gonna burn these invitations
Yeah, gonna burn these invitations

There’s 150 of them to be exact
Even got the monogram on the back
They’re all addressed in calligraphy
Now, all they need is some gasoline

So I threw ‘em in the fire pit
And now we’re over and done with

Bible and the Bottle

V1
When He lost his job they had no place to live
His wife left him and took the kids
He’s sleeping in his car backseat is his bed
That old dog, his only friend, one day just up and left
Empties on the floor, good book on the dash
Outside the wind is blowing and he don’t know how long he’ll last

Chorus:
Caught between the bible and the bottle 
His tears blurred the lines in red
Couldn't  find an answer in the gospel
And the bottle helped him to forget

V2.
He prays for his famly and a way to be redeemed
Drained another fifth of whiskey fell to his knees
He clutched the worn out bible hard against his chest 
Looked up at the sky and drew his final breath 
Couldn’t face the pain He took it to his grave
Guess there’s more than one way to be saved

Chorus:

Bridge:
He was buried on a winter’s day
And some folks say 
There’s an old dog that sits and waits 
Where his body lays

Chorus:

Caught between the bible and the bottle 
His tears blurred the lines in red
Never found an answer in the gospel
And the bottle saw him to the end
Yeah, the bottle saw him to the end

DEAR SOLDIER

You were just a kid like me
Growing up with big hopes and dreams
Football, parties and that first car
The girl next door who stole your heart
But you left town and let it go
Answered that calling in your soul

'Cause you were born brave, it's true
So, here's my open letter you

Dear Soldier
I'm in awe of you
I can never know all you're going through
You're a special breed
Out there paying the price for me

No complaints, work 24 straight
Hanging tough, missed holidays
Just when things are settled and cool
Time to pack up fast and move
You knew you'd be deployed again
Thank God for good women and men

Dear Soldier
I'm in awe of you
I can never know all you're going through
You're a special breed
Out there paying the price for me

And for you who took this selfless path
There's no way to ever pay you back
And if you don't make it through,
Here's my open letter to you

Dear Soldier
I'm in awe of you
I can never know all you're going through
You're a special breed
Out there paying the price for me
Out there paying the price for me

Take away my brave and Isolate me from my friends
Suffocate me messing with my head

Hate my hair my clothes don't even fit me anymore
You leave me crying on the bathroom floor

Down At Betty’s Place

Lyrics
V1.
Betty lived in a tan ranch down the street from me
She turned 90, fell ill and passed Christmas Eve.
Her sons sold the house and all her possessions
There wasn't enough money left to mention
 
Pre:
There's more than one reason I'm sad that she's gone
A girl named 'big trouble' bought Betty's home
 
CHORUS:
I used to love it down at Betty's place
We'd solve the world's problems, drink lemonade
I miss Betty as much as I miss my old life
There was a time I was happy and safe
When things were good down at Betty's place
 
V2.
Big Trouble was young, real pretty and divorced
She was a bright, shiny Lexus, and my husband was a Ford
He said he was helping a new neighbor movin' in
But the only things movin' were her and him
 
Pre:
If Betty were here, she'd tell me what to do
She'd say, "Get the gin, honey, there ain't no time to lose"
 
 
CHORUS:
I used to love it down at Betty's place
We'd solve all my problems, drink Tanqueray
I miss Betty as much as I miss my old life
There was a time I was happy and safe
When things were good down at Betty's place
 
Bridge:
Well, the moth and flame got together
And that ex-husband of mine shoulda’ known better
She left him for a younger man
Yeah, he got burned I'm lucky I had Betty
‘cuz I had so much to learn
 
CHORUS:
I used to love it down at Betty's place
Wish she were here in my Mercedes drinking mocha lattes
I cherish her advice
I found the love of my life
Now I'm happy and safe
Guess I grew up down at Betty's Place
Things were good down at Betty's Place

DON’T LET ME LET YOU GO

Picture’s in a frame with broken glass
Your suitcase on a chair, already packed 
We’ve been here before, but I’m scared you’re not coming back
Chasing after dreams and lost our way
Caught up in the crazy, and made mistakes
Had the best of intentions, but let pride get in the way

Pre
We can start all over
Or let it go and let it be
But I believe there’s more to you and me

Chorus
Don’t go, come in from the cold
We don’t have to be alone Let’s start again and fight for love to win
Hold on, don’t let a good thing end ( broken hearts can mend)
It should be love we’re fighting for
Don’t let me let you go
 
Verse 2
Remember those days when it was all about us
We traveled the country in a beat up truck
Living on love, but for us it was good enough
One day you gave me a promise ring..said
You’re my heart, you’re my everything
If we ever get lost, we both know where to begin

SO FOR NOW THIS BEACH WILL KEEP YOU WARM
AND YOU CAN’T DENY YOU’RE WAITING FOR THE STORM
YOU WATCH AS SHE LAUGHS AND FREES HER MIND
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL FIND
THERE’S LOVE AND BEAUTY IN THE POWER OF THE SUN
OH HOW IT SHINES. HOW IT SHINES
OH HOW IT SHINES HOW IT SHINES

Backstory
This is a true story about my daughter who passed away last summer. This is exactly what happened that day. I felt I had to tell her story.
Lyrics
In Her Eyes by Rita Weyls and Paul deMarco © 2021

He said he’d get there by 2 o ‘clock,
be packed and ready to go
The flight leaves at 4:15
nonstop to San Francisco
Mama got her a brand new suitcase,
filled with her best clothes
As the sun begins to fade.. she waits for him to show… Cause

In her eyes… he’s the perfect one
He could never let her down
She’s idolized him... all her life
But he made... her... cry... too many times
When she was only nine

Well mama tried to console her child,
take her out for a ride
But her excuses weren't enough
to cover up his constant lies
So she took her little suitcase
and put away her clothes
Cos there was nothing more a mama could say to stop the tears that flowed

Chorus:

Bridge:
She was too young to understand
He couldn't be that man
Cos no matter how hard she tried
He never saw the love in her eyes

Chorus:

How Does She Do It. FINAL

Lyrics
HOW DOES SHE DO IT

She can’t ever go wrong
He likes her hot and strong
Brings him coffee at 8 AM
‘cause now he’s her man
He smells like her perfume
He must think I’m a fool
I can’t do this anymore
I’m crying on the floor

CHORUS
How does she do it
There’s nothing new to it
She only had to smile once at him
and he was gone, gone, gone, gone in the wind
How does she do it
How does she do it

What is it that she has
that keeps him coming back
Do I think she’ll show me how
That’s something I doubt
I want to know the truth
Just what harm could it do
I hope it might ease the hurt
It can’t get any worse

REPEAT CHORUS

Does she whisper in his ear
Keep her young body near
Does she have a magic touch
that gives him a magic rush
I like awake at night
No way I can deny
I wanna see her sweet face
on her lace pillowcase

I Will, For You
Rita Weyls, Chris Ising

Nights I lie awake wondering what I didn’t do
Maybe I’m too naive to even face the truth
Not in my bed, still in my head I’m tryna’ find reasons
Wanna go back, start over, stop you leavin’

If my words hurt, I’ll take them back a thousand times
I will hide that bottle away cause I ain’t that guy
I will quit smoking even though it’s just a white lie
But if it don’t work

I’ll walk the floor at night, sip some Jack
Turn off my phone smoke a whole pack
Whatever I have to do
I will for you
Yeah I will for you

I remember when you said baby you're the one
How did we get from good to goodbye and gone
I can't let go, I'm drunk on hope I’m tryna’ find reasons
Get you outta my head, help me forget, stop this feelin'

If my words hurt, I’ll take them back a thousand times
I will hide that bottle away cause I ain’t that guy
I will quit smoking even though it’s just a white lie
But if it don’t work

I’ll walk the floor at night, sip some Jack
Turn off my phone smoke a whole pack
Whatever I have to do
I will for you
Yeah I will for you

All the things I didn't say
All the times that couldn't wait
And now you need your space

If my words hurt, I’ll take them back a thousand times
I will hide that bottle away cause I ain’t that guy
I will quit smoking even though it’s just a white lie
But if it don’t work

I’ll walk the floor at night, sip some Jack
Turn off my phone smoke a whole pack
Whatever I have to do
I will for you
Yeah I will for you

Little Things


V1.
At night, when we’re lying side by side
Dreaming ‘bout the future, loving this life
Changin’ the world if only we could
Say a little prayer till our voices are heard
Nothing is too big or small ..we do our share
Giving what we can, in this world.. it’s only fair

Ch.
It’s the L.I.T.T.L.E. little things that change the world
One deed at a time, to heal the hurt
It’s the L.I.T.T.L.E. little things that change the world
A warm bed , a hot meal, a few kind words
These are the little things that can change the world

V2.
Some close their minds .judge from a distance
Cause denial’s their path of least resistance
If we could just help them open their eyes
Spread the message and give love a try
Because it won’t even cost a dime to care
Isn’t it time ..in this world ..isn’t it fair

Bridge:
When we reach out ..do a little each day
Give to those you know can’t repay..because

My Extraordinary Ordinary Life

IT’S BEEN A LONG WEEK I JUST GOT PAYED
ONLY THING ON MY MIND IS TGI FRIDAY
GOT SOME EXTRA CASH FOR OUR NIGHT ON THE TOWN
JUST YOU AND ME BABY LIKE THERE’S NO ONE ELSE AROUND
I CATCH MY BREATH AS I SEE YOU HOP UP IN MY TRUCK
DRIVIN’ TO THE CITY MY RADIO’S TURNED UP

(CHORUS)
GOIN’ TO DINNER WHERE THEY KNOW US BY NAME
GET A BOTTLE OF RED THEY DON’T SERVE CHAMPAGNE
THEN WE’LL DANCE TILL 3 UNDEREATH THE NEON LIGHTS
THAT’S MY EXTRODINARY ORDINARY LIFE

MY DADDY HANDED DOWN A LITTLE PATCH OF GROUND
HE’S DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN KIN FOLK CAME AROUND
MAMA’S STORIES GOT BETTER THROUGH THE YEARS
WE GATHERED ROUND THE TABLE DRINKIN ICE COLD BEERS
AFTER CHURCH ON SUNDAY WE LOVED OUR CHICKEN FRIED.
HOW THOSE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE EASED OUR MINDS

Lyrics
When the storm has left you broken
Lost in darkness all alone and
You need a hand to help you off your knees

You’ve tried but can't find strength to
Get back on the path you strayed from
And you need a light to shine so you can see

CHORUS
Let it be me
That you call
Let it be me
If you fall
Let it be me by your side
Oh, let it be me

Yeah, I’ve been where you are now
The tide has turned and dragged me down
I’ve watched my dreams go blowing in the wind

You got me back up on my feet
Helped restore my self belief
So now when you go looking for a friend

CHORUS

There’s nothing I want more than
Just to get you through this heartache
And I’ll help you take the first steps to get started

Let Me Drive. Final


I can see that you're a cowboy who gets just what he wants
I can see by the Sting Ray sitting in the parking lot
I bet you wanna get me up in the shotgun
Take this cowgirl for a little run
But In think you better show me what you got

Boy you gotta let me drive this car
Take me to where the wild things are
We can take this whole thing a little too far
I’m feelin’ it, boy you're feelin’ it
Let me slide behind the wheel
I’ll tell you the way I feel
We could take our time
We could drive all night
This could be the ride of your life
If you let me drive gotta let me drive

From the moment that I saw you baby I could feel a spark
Those keys in your pocket are looking for a fire to start
Trust me with the muscle of the Turbo V 8
This chevy's built for running on the two lane
You got the gas and baby I got a little hell to raise
Boy you gotta let me drive this car
You’re taking me to where the wild things are

We can take this whole thing a little too far
I’m feelin’ it, boy you're feelin’ it
Let me slide behind the wheel
I’ll tell you the way I feel
We could take our time
We could drive all night
This could be the ride of your life
If you let me drive gotta let me drive

You gotta let me drive.. let me drive

If there was no tomorrow
And you only had right now
What would you say
That you've never said out loud

What would you do
Where would you go
Would you hold someone close
Or walk that unknown road

Oooh… Let’s take it a little slower

CH
Loving in the moment
No need for ho-lding back
Give it everything you have and make it last
While you’ve got the chance to be, just be
Loving in the moment

Feel the warmth of sunlight
And the gentle drops of rain
A soft kiss on your forehead
So you’ll forget the pain

Whatever keeps you strong
Whatever feeds the soul
Never feel lost
There is always hope

Oooh… Let’s take it a little slower

Whiskey Neat 
[Verse 1]
Was it his blue eyes or well worn boots 
Stopped my heart for a second or two 
You could say I wasn’t lookin’ for love 
Cause I just wanted to be free have fun 
How quickly a girl can change her mind 
Especially when she’s not even tryin’
[Pre]
We didn’t need any strawberry wine
Or shots of patron to get us high cause 
[Chorus]
He awakened something long lost in me 
A feeling I thought I didn’t need 
He was warm and sweet 
Like a taste of whiskey neat 
Pure, strong and real 
With kisses warm and sweet 
Like a taste of whiskey neat 
[Verse 2]
Before too long we were never apart 
That blue-eyed boy had won my heart 
Long country rides cruising in his jeep 
ALL night talks and laughs didn’t need no sleep 
Still think of him even though we’ve lost touch 
It was a perfect time that meant so much
[Pre]
We got lost in our private little world 
Nothing like first love for a boy and girl 
[Chorus]
He awakened something long lost in me 
A feeling I thought I didn’t need 
He was warm and sweet 
Like a taste of whiskey neat 
Pure, strong and real 
With kisses warm and sweet 
Like a taste of whiskey neat 
[Bridge]
Wonder what’s he’s doing and where he’s at 
Memories flood my mind even though time has passed
Yeah
[Chorus]
He awakened something long lost in me 
A feeling I thought I didn’t need 
He was warm and sweet 
Like a taste of whiskey neat 
Pure, strong and real 
With kisses warm and sweet 
Like a taste of whiskey neat 
Like a taste whiskey neat
Like a taste of whiskey neat

DO WHAT’S RIGHT

VERSE 1:
Daddy left the house at daybreak
Never missed a day in his life
Earned that watch and a backache
Gave his family every dime

Never raised his hand in anger
Or said a word unkind
He would help a friend or stranger
Always found the time

CHORUS:
Seen a lot of so-called good men but
Daddy was a cut above
Cuz there was no one better than
This humble man who taught us love
When I think back on those moments
In that special place and time
I can still hear daddy sayin’,
Son, listen to your heart, Do what’s right

VERSE 2:
He’d drive us to church on Sundays
Still remember that bumpy ride
Like a preacher at the wheel he’d say
Follow God’s word and don’t backslide

I live my life the way he taught me
Passing down his lessons to my little ones
If only he was here to see
The kind of man that I’ve become

CHORUS:

OUTRO:
Seen a lot of so-called good men but
Daddy was a cut above
Cuz there was no one better than
This humble man who taught us love

BAD GIRL

Bet you’re Face Timin’ with your girls
Spillin’ everything ‘bout you n’ me
Talkin’ trash like I was never on your map
So, baby whydah’ keep on comin’ back

(Cause) Life ain’t so bad girl
Without you around girl
We were a good time
But I’m doin’ just fine
Guess ya miss that kiss
The way I make you lit
But come on girl
We can’t keep doin’ this
Life ain’t so bad girl
Without you around girl
I finally got time
To hang with the guys
Bought me a boat
Fishin’ all night
I’m livin’ it up
Yeah, life ain’t so bad girl

Last night I saw you at the bar
Lookin’ so hot in those low rise jeans
Got me tempted, but ain’t jumpin’ back in it
Thank God it only got me for a minute

BELIEVE IN THE GIFT

[Verse 1]
How can you know when it all begins
There are times you’ll lose, but you’ll also win
How could you know on the hardest days
An invisible force is there always

[Pre 1]
I know it seems unlikely
But the force is a gift from the Almighty
[CHORUS]
When you believe in The Gift
You’ll never feel alone
The doors are open
The light is always on
Open your heart to everyone
And give
When you believe in the gift

[Verse 2]
We shine when we help others to succeed
‘Cause deep down inside we have what we need
Lift those in need as you make the climb
Help souls rise in this beautiful life

[Pre 2]
And when you're afraid
Just breathe and do it anyway

[CHORUS]
When you believe in The Gift
You’ll never feel alone
The doors are open
The light is always on
Open your heart to everyone
And give
When you believe in the gift

[Bridge]
I wouldn't trade my life for anything
The good, bad, and miracles in between
I've been around a real long time
Everybody has a prayer
Here's mine

[CHORUS]
Believe in The Gift
Speak up, be brave
Keep an open mind
Leave no one behind
Live your purpose
Give back, be of service
Embrace everyone and lift
You can do this
When you believe in the gift
Believe, Believe
You can do anything
When you believe in the gift
Believe in The Gift

Lyrics
She will always be .. daddy’s princess and mamma’s godsend
went to school early that day, hanging out with her friends
She had a dream - going to college, studied hard all the time
Never thinking, in one single moment, she’d lose her precious life

PRE-CH:
cos a tortured soul bought himself a gun
Now she’s gone forever and seventeen’s too young

CHORUS
We need a candle that lights up the darkness
We can’t handle feeling this helpless
We gotta work together for the sake of everyone
For the innocent and the broken,
God only knows we’ve had enough- and one more is just too much
While we can .. let's light up this world
Burn bright, stay proud, stand tall and
Be the candle/ be the candle


V2. He planned to be a mechanic handy with his hands
Didn’t like academics but he played in the school band
Well, he hid them in the closet – never made a sound
Holdin tight to his friends- prayin they wouldn’t be found

PRE CH:
And as they walked outside standing in a line
He’s grateful for everything he has in his life

Burn bright, stay proud, stand tall and

Always Here With Me (The Call )

Last night I had the perfect dream
You called… missed talking to me
You sounded happy, things were fine
I tried to keep you on the line
You said, ‘ Don’t be upset with me
But, it was time, I had to leave’
Pre:
I said, ‘Thinkin’ ‘bout you, couldn’t sleep’.
Hearing your voice is what I need’

Pre:
And I know..ohh

Chorus:
You’re always here with me
You’re the soft, warm, summer breeze
That lifts me off my knees
Gives me strength and dignity
And walks beside me step by step
As though you never really left
And when you call me in my dreams
I truly know you’re always here with me

V2.
If I could have just one more chance
I’d stop all time and take your hand
I’d tell you just how hard I cried
We didn’t get to say goodbye
Just silence when I call your name
My world will never be the same

Pre:
You smiled at me, then I woke up,
In heaven, can you feel my love .

Pre:
But I know..ohohoh

One day I opened my eyes

You were always there for me
Now in your arms I’m strong enough
Because I’m loved

And your soft voice whispers to me
While you gently lift me off my knees

Take Me Back 2



V1.
Counting the hours till Friday night
Ready to take a real, wild ride
Got my old Ford all shined up
Four in the back and three in front
A couple shots of our favorite scotch
Chased it down with cold Rolling Rock

Ch.
Nothing can bring those old days back
Nothing can replace feelings from the past
They’re special memories that live on forever
And keep me going when there’s bad weather
Take me back, take me back
I know it’s an impossible task, a lot to ask
But even for an hour, just take me back

V2.
Met the girls at our favorite spot
Danced all night didn’t wanna’ stop
A bag of whitey whites, sixteen for just 2.25
A great breakfast when you been up all night
If I could have just one big wish
It would simply be this..’cuz

Ch:


V3.
I want those times of love and peace
Like when I fell hard and played for keeps
That little house with a white picket fence
And a phone that only rings now and then
Kids and a dog playing in the yard
Finally traded that Ford, got a bigger car

Ch.

Even though the world has changed
Underneath we’re still the same
It’s been a helluva ride and I’m glad we came
So with the same smile we can say….

Where memories are softly tucked away
A little place that fills my heart
I close my eyes, I see your face

A young boy in love, followed me around
He said we're soul mates, what did that mean
I needed him, he needed me

We'd ride around
That car was home
A secret place we were alone

CHORUS
We'd drive...into the dark
Just us two, maybe we went too far
in that old car
The world was ours
Radio down, windows up
Feeling the heat of newfound love
Nothing beyond or above us
we'd drive ... drive

V2
We'd pack my car and hit the road
His arm around me, he pulled me close
Spread an old blanket at the beach
Nothing compares to how first love feels

Pre
Then we grew up and love grew cold
Still there are times I search my soul

Chorus

Bridge
I saw him back in town last week
I swear my heart forgot to beat
Still I can't get past the pain,
After all these years I feel the same

THERE ARE TIMES YOU’LL LOSE, BUT YOU’ll ALSO WIN
HOW COULD YOU KNOW ON THE HARDEST DAYS
An invisible force is there always
 
[Pre 1]
I know it seems unlikely  
But the force is a gift from the Almighty

[CHORUS]
When you believe in The Gift
YOU’ll NEVER FEEL ALONE
THE DOORS ARE OPEN
THAT LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON
OPEN YOUR HEART TO EVERYONE
AND GIVE
When you believe in the gift
 
[Verse 2]?
WE SHINE WHEN WE HELP OTHERS TO ACHIEVE
Cause deep down inside we have what we need
LIFT those in need AS YOU MAKE THE CLIMB
HELP souls RISE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE
 
[Pre 2]
And when you're afraid
Just breathe and do it anyway
 
[CHORUS]

When you believe in The Gift
YOU’ll NEVER FEEL ALONE
THE DOORS ARE OPEN
THAT LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON
OPEN YOUR HEART TO EVERYONE
AND GIVE
When you believe in the gift

 
[Bridge]
I wouldn't trade my life for anything
THE GOOD, BAD AND MIRACLES IN BETWEEN
I've been around a REAL long time
Everybody has a prayer
Here's mine
 
[CHORUS]
Believe in The Gift
Speak up, be brave
Keep an open mind
Leave no one behind
Live your purpose
Give back, be of service
Embrace everyone and lift
You can do this
When you believe in the gift
Believe, Believe
You can do anything
When you believe in the gift
Believe in The Gift

Boy’s Night Out

V1.
I was never gonna’ give up those nights with the boys
Girls and bars, fast cars, kickin up dust on back roads
Bonfires, mud on the tires, ridin’ our 4 wheel toys
Doin’ our best to get our wild oats sowed (sow our wild oats)

Pre:
But they say nothin’ lasts forever... so I’m told
Then that night, one look at you stopped me cold

Chorus:
Now boy’s night out is you and me on the couch
Sippin’ wine, your hand in mine, makin plans
You’re perfectly perfect, more than heaven should allow and
I’d do anything to make you understand
That I’m lovin’ this boy’s night out

V2.
Till I found you I never knew what I was missing
Silly boy,(like a fool) thought I had this life thing figured out
Cause you showed me a world I never knew existed
Now this boy knows what love is all about

Pre:
Today, we’re out picking those little wedding bands
Forever, gonna be third finger, left hand ..

Whisperin’ in my ear to come back for more

Lyrics
Verse 1:
She was broken, just about to give up
Guess you could say she was down on her luck
A girl in a small town, she got around too much
Those gossips were talking at the beauty shop
They started the fire that boiled the pot
She knew it was time for her to move on

Pre:
Down route 43 was a gentleman’s club
Seemed the only place that she found love
Those men didn’t care about her past
Cause she was their queen when she danced

Chorus:
It was 3am when her old car just stopped
Rolled into a small church parking lot
Was it fate or the hand of God
There was a sign , blue paint worn thin
She found a place to bury her sins
Said all are welcome, so, come on in’
Said all are welcome, so, come on in’

Verse 2:
She woke up with the weight of yesterday
Mirror didn’t see any hope on her face
Deep down inside she knows her worth
And found solace in the arms of the church
She didn’t ask for mercy, didn’t beg or plead
Just one more breath, one more chance to believe

Pre:
Now she drives right by that gentleman’s club
There’s a better way to find real love
She’s leavin the past in the past
Seems that car was the best friend she had

Chorus:
It was 3am when her old car just stopped
Rolled into a small church parking lot
Was it fate or the hand of God
There was a sign , blue paint worn thin
She found a place to bury her sins
Said all are welcome, so, come on in’
Said all are welcome, so, come on in’

It was 3am when her old car just stopped
Rolled into a small church parking lot

Said all are welcome, so, come on in’

I know you’ll never realize... that

Spending our money, ain’t nothing left
Only had your good times on your mind

Don’t Be Afraid

Soft winds seem to call your name
And whisper now that you are safe
Doors and windows locked up tight
You settle in for a dream-filled night

Don’t be afraid of the dark
Be brave and open up your heart
Love will always see you through
And angels will watch over you
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid

You hear a creak on the stairs
As you bless all those in your prayers
You keep counting tiny sheep
And fall into a peaceful sleep

Don’t be afraid of the dark
Be brave and open up your heart
Love will always see you through
And angels will watch over you
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid

Tomorrow in the light of day
All your fears will fade away..so

GO MAKE IT HAPPEN

She dreams ‘bout leaving this backwoods town
Bare feet resting on that old porch swing
Tired and restless, just hangin’ out
Time flies, this year she’ll be fourteen
Saving pennies in a Mason jar
In a few short years, she’ll hit the road
Soon she’ll have that new, used car
and she won’t be drivin’ slow

CHORUS
She'll know when it's time to go
Been plannin since she was nine years old
Nobody said growin up ain't tough
Hold on tight, girl, don't give up
Take your chances to be heard
Don’t matter where in the world
you live, you got something good to give
Go make it happen

She’ll make a difference and make her mark
She knows it’s gonna take a lot of hard work
She’s got a strong mind, and a kind heart and big ideas for a small town girl
She’ll turn 18, take that one road out
Her friends’ll say “You won’t be gone long”
They’ll think she’ll be back around
But they’ll be wrong

CHORUS:

Bridge:

I know that look on her face It’s something that I see
When I look in the mirror
That girl is me

Hold on tight, girl, don't give up
Take your chances to be heard

Make it happen

V1
I had a pair of lucky wings
That glided me through everything
Out of nowhere dark clouds formed
And I found myself inside this storm

It tossed and turned me all around
And threw me on the cold hard ground
I had to face the reckoning
Of trying to fly with broken wings
Oh why was this all happening
CHORUS
When undiscovered angels in unexpected places
Lifted me with love when I was scared & all alone
And helped me face the fear to open up to changes
Those undiscovered angels helped me find my way back home
V2
All those things I didn’t see
Have now become a part of me
With an open hand or smiling face
I’ve learned to share that saving grace

And spread around this pot of gold
That frees the heart and heals the soul
Now my life’s a half-filled cup
So when the world is all too much
And I let the spirit warm it up

SHE HID HER MONEY IN A MASON JAR
GAVE HER NOTICE TO THAT OLD DIVE BAR
WAVED GOODBYE TO A TOWN WITH NO HOPE
SAVIN TIPS SHE’S DAMN NEAR BROKE
GRABBED A COKE AND THREE CIGARETTES

WON’T BE TOO LONG BEFORE HE’S FOUND

THERE’S NO WAY SHE’S TO BLAME, STILL

NOW SHE’S AN OUTLAW…OUTLAW
YEAH, SHE’S AN OUTLAW…OUTLAW

WELL, AIN’T MUCH LEFT ON THAT DEBIT CARD
JUST ENOUGH TO FILL UP THAT OLD CAR

I went to the Christmas party
Wasn't too much goin on
I wanted to leave real early
But /then you came along
We sat by the fire and talked all night
Before too long, it was just you and I

You make the reds redder
The greens are looking better
The gold and silver bows are so bright
The freshly fallen snow is pure white
You color my Christmas
You color my Christmas

THE POWER OF THE SUN
The sun is fading on this empty beach Just two lost lovers who can’t leave and there is nothing left to say
This is where you wanna stay
No beginning and no ending
to the power of the sun
How it shines, how it shines, how it shines
And you know something keeps you wanting more and now you’re wondering what you’re waiting for and you know she’s so scared
‘cause she knows what happens when she cares The only truth is love, the only light is now
in the power of the sun
How it shines, how it shines, how it shines
She gave you everything in life but you stood silent as she cried It’s what she knew you would do because it’s always been about you So, she never asked you for help This you saved only for yourself It’s what she knew you would do because it’s always been about you
So for now this beach will keep you warm
and you can’t deny you’re waiting for the storm You watch as she laughs and frees her mind because you know that you will find
there is love and beauty
in the power of the sun, oh, the sun
how it shines, how it shines, how it shines, how it shines

AS LONG AS YOURS BEATS
Rita Weyls, Rick Beresford


THAT LEAVE-FOR-WORK KISS I FELT SO MANY TIMES
CAN’T HIDE THAT FAR-OFF LOOK IN YOUR EYES
EVERY I-LOVE-YOU, IS SOUNDING LIKE AN ALIBI
EVERY GOOD NIGHT KISS IS FEELIN LIKE GOODBYE
BUT IF YOU SAY GOODBYE

MY HEART’S GONNA BREAK AS LONG AS YOUR HEART BEATS
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE FROM THE MOMENT THAT YOU LEAVE
YOU MAY THINK LOVE IS OVER, YOU CAN WALK AWAY FEELIN’ FREE
BUT MY HEART’S GONNA BREAK, AS LONG AS YOUR HEART BEATS

I’LL PUT ON A SMILE, HOPIN’ THAT YOU SEE
THAT LOVING-YOU FEELIN’ IS STILL LIVING IN ME
I PRAY THESE MISSIN-YOU DAYS, TURN INTO THINKIN’ WE MIGHT
BREAK THE SILENCE, CRY AND TRY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
BUT IF WE CAN’T MAKE IT RIGHT

THEY SAY LOVE IS FOREVER
I SAY TEARS ARE TOO
BUT NO \BROKEN HEART
NO GONE-TOO-FAR

Paper angels with golden hair
Tiny cutout teddy bears

You wander down this road alone
Your spirit tired but heart still open so

DEAR SOLDIER

You were just a kid like me
Growing up with big hopes and dreams
Football, parties and that first car
The girl next door who stole your heart
But you left town and let it go
Answered that calling in your soul

'Cause you were born brave, it's true
So, here's my open letter you

Dear Soldier
I'm in awe of you
I can never know all you're going through
You're a special breed
Out there paying the price for me

No complaints, work 24 straight
Hanging tough, missed holidays
Just when things are settled and cool
Time to pack up fast and move
You knew you'd be deployed again
Thank God for good women and men

Dear Soldier
I'm in awe of you
I can never know all you're going through
You're a special breed
Out there paying the price for me

And for you who took this selfless path
There's no way to ever pay you back
And if you don't make it through,
Here's my open letter to you

Dear Soldier
I'm in awe of you
I can never know all you're going through
You're a special breed
Out there paying the price for me
Out there paying the price for me

Cause you burned out the fire in my soul
Left me bare naked to the bone, to the bone
I’ve lost too many rounds to keep score
No, I’m never gonna give gonna give like before
Never gonna give like before

Why does love feel like war
I won’t fall on your sword
Might be bruised and torn but I lived through your storm
Think you hold all the dice
Fool me once but not twice
I would gladly drown than grab hold of your line

CHORUS
Cause you burned out the fire in my soul
Left me bare naked to the bone, to the bone
I’ve lost too many rounds to keep score
No, I’m never gonna give gonna give like before

If being stone crazy in love is a crime
Lock me up and throw away the key
Cos i’m guilty

Hand me that bible I’ll take the stand
If my baby wants to lend me back my right hand
The boys on this jury sure understand
What it’s like to be a man

I ain’t a outlaw i aint a liar
And if I'm going out in a blazing fire
Let me answer the charges you’re pinning on me

(Now I’m) Talking to the mirror saying, “Hey girl”
What is it that he’s trying to avoid
Maybe I should give up, is this worth the fight
Tell my reflection you’ll be fine
But (my) eyes don’t lie

B Section
Say what you want to say
The only truth I see right now is your eyes and they don’t lie

V3
It’s 2am, you came in your eyes filled with tears
I’m still awake..thanking God you’re here
We don’t need words to fix us or make things right
‘Cause babe, we still feel that fire
And our eyes don’t lie



HALF BAD FINAL

Lyrics
V1.
Her Mama said, ‘ Hey girl, you’re not gettin’ any younger
Don’t you be waitin’ round to feel that thunder ‘
Daddy said, ‘ I hear he payed cash for his house and car
‘Took me nearly 20 years to get that far’
Oh Girl, he ain’t half bad and we know
He’s no looker, but hey, so what
Handsome’s overrated and so is love

Pre:
She smiled and said, ‘Well thanks for the advice
But you just ain’t thinkin right …cause

Chorus:
Is it gonna be half bad
When he starts to dim the lights
Or half bad if he’s out drinking all night
Ain’t no man worth living a half bad life
Waitin and cryin puttin up with his lies
Cause you gotta respect yourself
And don’t go livin’ in his half bad hell

V2.
So, here’s some advice to all you girls out there
Don’t go gettin’ married on a wing and a prayer
Or settling for what seems comfortable and safe
You’re much better off keeping your own name
You’ve always known the right thing to do so
Takin’ those vows should only be up to you

Pre:
‘It ain’t half bad’ is an expression’s that’s overused
When it’s half bad you never really get the good

Chorus:

Is it gonna be half bad
When he starts to dim the lights
Or half bad if he’s out drinking all night
Ain’t no man worth living a half bad life
Waitin and cryin puttin up with his lies
Cause you gotta respect yourself
And don’t go livin’ in his half bad hell

Outro:
Cause you gotta respect yourself
And don’t go settlin’ for his half bad hell

Can’t deny what my heart feels
(But) you’re still here in my dreams
As you slowly drift away
You hold on while I pray
Pre
(And) I can hear your heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat
I can hear your heart beat

Chorus:
Will you find a new horizon
Will you walk beneath the moon
Like a wave across the ocean
That fades away too soon
That fades away too soon

V2.
There’s so much I wanna say
Now I know that love won’t wait
It pulls me down like gravity
And lifts me up and I breathe

I can hear your heart beat

V1: I’ve been sorta set in my ways
doin’ fine bein on my own.
Ain’t had a single reason to change
but now, I might’ve found me one

V2: soon as I saw her sweet lines and curves
I called the number on that for sale sign
I just know that she can rock my world
I’ll spend whatever, to make her mine

Pre: She’ll look so good sittin’ in my slip

Ch: Now I wanna get hitched
Hook her up to my truck
Take ‘er out on the lake
Oh man, I’m in love
I’ve got no problem tying the knot
Whenever we pull into the dock
I used to say that I’d never commit
But now I wanna get hitched
(Yeah I wanna get hitched)

V2: Today’s the big day gonna seal the deal
Change her name, break out some champagne
Find out how she feels from behind the wheel
See how smooth she takes the waves

I hide in the shadows til she leaves
I sneak in just like a thief
When you get high I’m that number you dial
But you don’t fool me with your lies

You keep me undercover

You know you can’t have it all
How long can this go on with us

Storm clouds hang over your head
Can’t find the will to get outta bed
If you’re in a mess, or a bad situation
Hit me up, no hesitation

I’ll take a train, a plane or car
No matter where you are

CHORUS
I’m always there
If you need a hand
I’m always there
On this ride with you I’ll take it to the end
Doesn’t matter why when or where
I’m always there

Surf’s up, top down, let’s take a ride
Let your troubles drift out with the tide
I can be your blue sky, summertime sunshine
Make you smile, and you know that I’d

Do anything to make it right
Day or night

When your world is shaking, your will is breaking, think you won’t make it

HILLBILLY LEGAL
Lance Curtis/ Shane Grove/Rita Weyls

Grew up watching my grandpa make that moonshine in the hollar
Daddy used to run it by the gallon, anything to make a dollar
The sheriff never tried to bust his still
Granddad always made sure he had his fill
Cause brother, around here

We keep that bible by the bed
Our gun’s fully loaded
House is double wide
Drivin' side by sides
Down an old dirt road
Our coon dogs run
We don't
You think you’ll change us
But you won't
We fly that flag as high as a eagle
Redneck proud
Hillbilly legal

I used to sneak out and skip class to hit my honey hole
I loved it when that sweet bass swallowed my line and bent my fishing pole
Behind the school parking lot I got caught lightning up my first smoke
Momma was redder that Marlboro light
And I still got the scar to show

We keep that bible by the bed
Our gun’s fully loaded
House is double wide
Drivin' side by sides
Down an old dirt road
Our coon dogs run
We don't
You think you’ll change us
But you won't
We fly that flag as high as a eagle
Redneck proud
Hillbilly legal

Bridge
I wouldn't change a second of this backwoods life
Because if it's wrong, I don't wanna be right

Howling winds talk through the leaves
Demons calling taunting me
Revealing dark and haunting powers
Chanting spells at the midnight hour

Here comes the night
When all that's dead comes alive
You cry out and close your eyes
While you're Listening
Here comes the night

Like an unquenched love at first bite
Summoned by the spirts of the night
Lingering shadows transpire against the light
To strong to care too weak to fight

I Ain't Coming Down

I never thought that I would be the one to fall in love
Say the words I can’t get enough
Of you in my life day or night
Floating on a high

Am I dreaming
Love this feeling

You got my head spinning like a Tilt-A-Whirl
You got me flying high above the world
And I ain’t coming down
You got my heart racing, I’m barely holding on
High in the clouds and I ain’t coming down
No and I ain’t coming down

You make me wanna chase the stars across the sky
You and me floating on a high
Where love feels safe, hearts don’t break
Time won’t slip away

Am I dreaming
Love this feeling

You got my head spinning like a Tilt-A-Whirl
You got me flying high above the world
And I ain’t coming down
You got my heart racing, I’m barely holding on
High in the clouds and I ain’t coming down
No and I ain’t coming down

You got my head spinning like a Tilt-A-Whirl
You got me flying high above the world
And I ain’t coming down
You got my heart racing, I’m barely holding on
High in the clouds and I ain’t coming down
No and I ain’t coming down

Hero tags

Do we identify with the pain and hurt
Our warriors gave all with little in return
Pushed to the limit without regret
Ignored on the street how easily we forget

Pre
Everything they are hangs around their neck

CH
Freedom is not free I hope you see
A price was paid for you and me
They defend this land as we wave the flag
Let's change the dog to a hero tag
A hero tag for heroes
For those who gave all they have
A hero tag for heroes
Not a dog tag, but a hero tag

V2
They have seen things we couldn’t concieve
Scarred for life stuck in a bad dream
Don’t walk by without a second thought
Where would we be If they had not fought

CH
Freedom is not free I hope you see
A price was paid for you and me
They defend this land as we wave the flag
Let's change the dog to a hero tag
A hero tag for heroes
For those who gave all they have
A hero tag for heroes
Not a dog tag, but a hero tag

BR
Some are remembered on the wall
The saddest thing is not be known at all
(pause)

CH
Freedom is not free I hope you see
A price was paid for you and me
They defend this land as we wave the flag
Let's change the dog to a hero tag
A hero tag for heroes
For those who gave all they have

Not a dog tag, but a hero tag

SHE USED TO PERFORM IT LOCALLY FOR SENIOR CITIZENS AND OTHER GROUPS. WHEN SHE DIDN'T WANT TO CARRY HER GUITAR, I WOULD GO ALONG AND ACCOMPANY ON THE PIANO WHEN THERE WAS ONE AVAILABLE. THIS WAS BACK IN THE 80'S. I ONLY HAD A ROUGH TAPE OF HER PERFORMING AND DECIDED TO HAVE IT PROFESSIONALLY DEMOED JUST TO HONOR HER, REALLY. I WOULD LOVE TO PITCH, BUT HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS ONE.. RITA

I was looking for a co writer on a pop song. Johnny volunteered. He did a great job on the music. I was working on a song for a Tim Charon class and started this and we worked it together and this is the final result. I feel so happy that I was happy to help him get going with some demos and pitches. He's a very talented singer song writer and I'm really the lucky one.
Lyrics
Summer like that


V1

At the edge of the moonlight in a seaside bar

I stole a glance and you stole my heart

Long-legged beauty with an angel's smile

You were forever on my mind

Just the beginning of lovin all summer long

But when the season changed, you were gone ...then



Chorus:

Last night I had the craziest dream

It was the summer of you and me

Kisses hotter than the noonday sun

Golden-haired girl, you were the one

With your white bikini and red ball cap

Wish I could go back to a summer like that

To a summer like that



V2

Remember how we danced under the stars

And steamed up the glass in my old Mopar

Talking all night till we saw the sun

I thought I was your only love

I wonder, girl, who was calling you home

We loved enough, then we had to let go

Well...


Chorus

Bridge:

No regrets, baby, I got the best of memories

But sometimes, I wonder if you ever think of me ( if you're thinking of me)


Chorus

I wish I could go back...

Yeah I wish I

Could go back

To a summer like that

To a summer like that

Yeah to a summer like that

To a summer like that

In God’s Eyes

Verse 1.
 
It's not the color of your skin
 
It's your goodness from within
 
It's what you give back in life
 
Not about who's wrong or right
 
 
V2.
So let go of the mistrust 'cause
 
We've all been judged too much
 
And then just try to understand
 
That we all need a helping hand
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
There's no room to criticize
 
We're all the same in God's eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Can't judge a gift by the way it's wrapped
 
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps
 
You make the world a better place
 
When you lend  each other a little grace
 
Rich or poor, fame or no name
 
In God's eyes we're all the same
 

We're all the same in God's eyes              

Post-Chorus]
 
Inside we're all a bit fragile
 
Don't let anyone cramp your style
 
 
V3.
 
Diversity and inclusion
 
Don't have to be an illusion
 
Dust off your forgotten dreams
 
We're not as different as it seems
 
 
[Instrumental Bridge]
 
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
There's no room to criticize
 
We're all the same in God's eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Can't judge a gift by the way it's wrapped
 
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps
 
You make the world a better place
 
When you lend each other a little grace
 
Rich or poor, fame or no name
 
In God's eyes we're all the same

Lyrics
VERSE 1
We locked eyes the night we met just like an old time movie

It was a warm and breezy moonlit summer night

And it felt like one of those shooting stars was shootin' right thru me

Like heaven when she kissed me and I closed my eyes

VERSE 2
Now it's crazy how love can make a guy refuse to listen

When a friend says boy she's takin' you for a ride

Even when she came in late with her hair messed up and an earring missin'

I couldn't stand to lose my heaven so I closed my eyes

CHORUS 1
And she could dream up the grand excuse she was real good at bendin' the truth
She could weave that web and tell the most beautiful lies

And she made it easy when she said believe me

So I hung on to my heaven and I closed my eyes, and I closed my eyes

VERSE 3
One Sunday mornin' she broke down in confessioon

And she promised right then and there she was gonna change

But when Sunday turned to Monday let's just say I learned my lesson

And you know the rest I got only myself to blame

REPEAT CHORUS 1

BRIDGE
So I packed my things and I left a note, goodbye no explanation

And I never looked back, she never saw me cry

I played the music loud didn't think about her till I reached my destination

In the hell of that cheap hotel I closed my eyes...

CHORUS 3
And she could dream up the grand excuse she was real good at bendin' the truth
She could weave that web and tell the most beautiful lies

And she made it easy when she said believe me

Then I let go of my heaven and I closed my eyes

Yeah I closed my eyes, oh I closed my eyes, yeah I closed my eyes

Pour Decisions

V1
Woke up with my head spinnin’
Flashback, Was Tryin’ to impress all the women
Spent all my money and lost my phone
Not sure how the hell I got home

Pre
I told the bartender “man you better to stay on track
So I could keep knockin em back”

CH
All those decisions I made last night
Not a one turned out right
I said pour me another Jack
oh Look captain morgan's back
With a corona and lime on the side
Causing me to lose my balance
and then my vision
I make pour decisions

Now there's this
V2
Redhead in my bed
Saying we got wed, is she messing with my head
Damn Look at those matching tattoos
Now, what the hell am I gonna do

Leave The Lights On
[Verse 1]
Oh we been together a long, long while
Had our share of good and bad times
I remember when we first fell in love
I was always crazy for your touch
Turned the lights off, kisses were so sweet
Had everything we needed
[Pre]
Now years have gone by
As the world keeps turning
To do lists piled high
Hard to keep the fire burning
[Chorus]
So we leave the lights on
Kids wake us up at dawn
We’re still side by side but life’s got us in overtime
Forget about the candles and wine
Still got a favorite song
Our love’s still strong
But for now
We leave the lights on
[Verse 2]
One day it’ll be just you and me
Going back to how it used to be
Late nights out with you in my arms
Sleeping in with no alarms
[Pre]
Seasons change but we feel the same
Always have that spark
And never in the dark
But for now….
[Chorus]
We leave the lights on
Kids wake us up at dawn
We’re still side by side but life’s got us in overtime
So forget about the candles and wine
Still got a favorite song
Our love’s still strong
But for now
We leave the lights on
Yeah for now
We leave the lights on
We leave the lights on

Wishful Thinkin’
Rita Weyls, Chris Ising

It was another typical Friday night
Two for one special at the local dive
I was two shots down and feeling alright
Then she walked in and caught my eye

That long blonde hair and those bootcut jeans
Her country girl swagger got me weak in the knees

This whiskey drinkin'
Has me wishful thinkin'
Thinkin' I might have a chance
If I tip my hat and ask real smooth
Maybe she'd like to dance
We could two step to every country song
Keep it goin’ 'til we hear last call
This whiskey drinkin'
Has me wishful thinkin '
She might just fall for a guy like me

Took another shot for a little more nerve
Walked on over rehearsing every word
She flashed a smile and stole my heart
Right there in that honky-tonk bar

I knew right then that was the moment
We fell in love she just didn't know it

This whiskey drinkin'
Has me wishful thinkin'
Thinkin' I might have a chance
If I tip my hat and ask real smooth
Maybe she'd like to dance
We could two step to every country song
Keep it goin’ 'til we hear last call
This whiskey drinkin'
Has me wishful thinkin'
She might just fall for a guy like me

This whiskey drinkin'
Has me wishful thinkin'
Thinkin' I might have a chance
If I tip my hat and ask real smooth
Maybe she'd like to dance
We could two step to every country song
Keep it goin’ 'til we hear last call
This whiskey drinkin'
Has me wishful thinkin'
She might just fall for a guy like me
Yeah this whiskey drinkin'
Has me wishful thinkin'
She might just fall for a guy like me

Tattoo
V1.
those green eyes starin’ back at me, they get me down
Those full lips keep on smiling but makin’ no sound
That long dark hair around you like a picture frame
Stuck with this image of your perfect face

Pre:
Ooh ooh baby a reminder of you
You’re the reason I got this tattoo

Ch.
You’re the first and the last thing that I see
That’s cause you’re always (still) a part of me
Across my heart I’m marked up in black and blue
Burning like my love.. you are my tattoo
you are my tattoo

V2.
I remember when that needle, tore up my skin
I remember thinkin’ our love would never end
Now I’m sitting thinkin if I should get it removed
then there’d be nothing but a memory of you

Pre:
Ooh ooh baby, even though we’re through
You’re the reason I got this tattoo

Perfect To Me
100 bpm


V1.
Today I bought a white bouquet
To place upon my mama’s grave
It seems like only yesterday
She walked me to school even in the rain
She took my hand and smiled at me
As we crossed that busy street
I would stay right by her side
I was only five

Chorus:
She was kind and wise and good
Mama taught me everything she could
She put me first, I was never in need
Some folks say nobody’s perfect ( can be true)
But mama, she’s was perfect to me

V2
She would turn the radio on
And we would sing along to every song
I’d do my homework and she’d make
The best fried chicken that I ever ate
These were the things that fed my soul
When I was 12 years old

Chorus:

Bridge:
In that old, pink robe she’d wait for me at night
I’d see her silhouette in that dim porch light
I can still hear her say
Thank God, you made it home safe
That's what Mamas do,
They do their best for you

V3.
A new job took me far away
I’d send her roses on Mothers’s day
Just too busy to get back home
Tried harder after papa passed on
Soon she was runnin’ out of time
Cause forever’s not a part life.
It was hard to face the truth when i was only 32



Chorus:

Outro:

Can be true nobody’s perfect
But mama was perfect to me..perfect to me

Sweet and Slow
Rita Weyls, Chris Ising

You don’t have to leave yet baby
I know you're not wantin' to
Kick those shoes off, stay a little while
We can't let this end too soon

Ain’t a thing out there that needs us
That can’t wait just one more day
Ain’t no sense in second guessin’
Just lean on in and stay

What’s the use in actin’ like we shouldn’t
When we both know where this goes
So won’t you lay right here beside me
We can do this sweet and slow

I know you're tryin’ not to say it
You’re scared of movin’ way too fast
But every look you keep on givin’ me
Says this is gonna last

What’s the use in actin’ like we shouldn’t
When we both know where this goes
So won’t you lay right here beside me
We can do this sweet and slow

If you’re lookin’ for a sign, baby
It’s right here in the way we move
The whole world’s faded out around us
And it’s just me and you

What’s the use in actin’ like we shouldn’t
When we both know where this goes
So won’t you lay right here beside me
We can do this sweet and slow
Yeah won’t you lay right here beside me
We can do this sweet and slow

That boy just left, tore my world apart
Couldn’t give me a reason why, didn’t really try
But my tears were real, like the hole in my heart

Pre
[Now]he’s runnin’ round
Chasing every girl in town
One day he’s gonna see
I’m the one he needs

Chorus
It took awhile and
Now he wants me back
But I’ve done my healin’ and Lord I’m feelin’
So much stronger than I ever have
Changed my status, deleted his pics
Kissed his best friend just for kicks
Got a tattoo, joined a gym
Lookin’ this good should be a sin
Now he’s beggin’, wantin’ back in
Guess he was over me
Till I was over him

He’s blowin’ up my phone, he wants a second chance at make up romance
If he can says he’ll make me understand
But I’m movin’ on, no there ain’t nothin’ left
Cuz I just need to find a real good man

No more...heavy sighs
And pick up lies
Or break up texts
Leaving me a mess

LITTLE PIECES

Up in mama's attic, I found little pieces of me
Cowgirl hat, tiny toy gun, leather boots and faded jeans
I used to ride the concrete range on my red and blue big wheel
Nothing ever slowed me down, I ran it at full speed

Pre-Chorus
That was then, this is now

CHORUS

I'm sittin' here with all these mem'ries
of a simpler place and time
I think/know I’ll fix what hurts so deep inside
‘cuz home is where I heal
I'm still that girl I used to be
I'm gonna hold on to all of these
little pieces, little pieces of me

I grew up loved and strong, but lost myself in this big world
If I had all those pieces now, I’d be that same sweet girl
And if I owned this street again, I’d take a small detour
I’d make sure all the pieces fit, yeah this time I’d be real sure

Pre-Chorus
I was lost, now I’m found

CHORUS

Bridge
I gave it everything I had, but it wasn’t meant to be
All along the answers were in these little pieces of me

Met in high school, you took my breath away
That curly hair, freckles on your nose
From that first look we were together everyday
Until

We grew up, you moved away

There’s a little place in my mind
Where memories are softly tucked away
They fill my heart and soothe my soul
I close my eyes, I see your face
Yeah, in my little place

I still taste your sweet strawberry lips
Your warm hugs in those blazing summer nights
I remember the touch of your soft fingertips
We shared secrets in the crackling bonfire light

Still

Where memories are softly tucked away

Adoration

Verse 1

Nothing's what it seems
We all have big dreams
A hill house sounds nice
And my name in lights
Cause when I was young
I looked up to the pretty ones
Wanted to be like everyone else
Wasn’t happy with myself


Was it my youth or blind faith
Like I’d while away days
Thinking I could be
The perfect me
But i was finally waking
To my imagination

Chorus

Adoration
Easy to think you're not enough
Oh how we harshly judge us
We're so hard on ourselves
But we’ve all got a story to tell
Running our own race
Life's too precious to waste

Verse 2

Learned to love me 5
Not chase what i see 5
I’m valuing time 5
Something money can’t buy 6
Don’t want the brass ring 6
Got my own song to sing
Learned to live with change
And embrace every day

Instrumental Bridge

Chorus:

Outro:
Time flies so they say
So there’s no time for adoration

My name in lights, 4

Being young 3
Everyone’s big dreams 5

Blind faith or youth 4
Wasting my truth 4
Chasing how to be 5
The perfect me 4
I bought into the delusion 8
Of what was only an illusion 9

Adoration fades like evening light 9
When I really look into my heart 9
I’ve got a spark that shines so bright 8
A voice that sets me apart 7

Enjoying life’s climb 5

No brass ring for me 5
