A tune about old folks loving life and having fun, cause fun isn’t just for the young ones. Stay Young at heart.
“We don’t stop playing cause we get old, we get old because we stop playing” George Bernard Shaw
music
Fuck Nashville
Dedicated to all those songwriters who’ve been written off, underestimated and overlooked. It’s for the outlaws, freaks, rebels, mutineers and renegade poets.
Turn on the radio
Country station playing crap
You can keep your country hip hop
And your cowboy rap
Chasing trends
Chasing dreams
Everyone trying to be
The next big thing
It’s all flash and flare
Manufactured stars
Songs spit shined and sold
Just like used cars
Ya heard it in a song
Swore it’s’ written just for you
Pedal Steel crying
Voice ain’t pretty, but it’s true
Heard it at the Ryman
And the Grand Ole Opry
You’ll know it when you hear it
Cause it sounds like country
These days, I swear
Johnny Cash couldn’t get a record deal
That’s why I’m here to say
Fuck Nashville
This towns built on music
Child of gospel and blues
Country music is simple
Three chords and the truth
Call me old fashioned
Say I’m an old fool
Cause I still play Merle
Guess that makes me old school
I’m headed back home
This town don’t care for me
Play my music on my front porch
With my friends and family
Turn on the radio
Country music, is this what I get?
Every song sounds the same
Different twang, same old shit
Heard it at the Ryman
And the Grand Ole Opry
You’ll know it when you hear it
Cause it sound like country
These days, I swear
George Jones couldn’t get a record deal
That’s why I’m here to say
Fuck Nashville
Love, The More You Give, The More You Get
She likes rain at midnight
Sound of wind through the tree’s
A train whistle in the distance
And lying in bed next to me
She loves the smell of the ocean
The sound of breaking waves
We watch the sun go down together
On such a beautiful day
It doesn’t get any better than that
You got my heart, baby I got your back
From sunrise
To sunset
Love
The more you give
The more you get
She likes when the leaves change their colors
As the seasons come and go
She picks wildflowers in spring
I build her fire when it snows
Through the years we made a home
All those memories I recall
Through the good times and the bad
Together, we made it through them all
It doesn’t get any better than that
I got your heart, baby you got your back
From sunrise
To sunset
Love
The more you give
The more you get
We All Need Love
Tangled again
Love like a home
We want to live in
Faith and courage
Shadows I’ve been chasing
I’m getting older
No time, to be wasting
It’s a hard life
Lessons I’ve been learning
All my mistakes
Silently burning
No matter what anyone says
We all need love
To whatever god you’re praying
Be kind to one another—-is all I’m saying
Happy endings
Ashes and sin
What we wish for
Isn’t always what we’re given
Every days a dream
I’m letting go
Of being somebody
I no longer know
Brush strokes on a canvas
Water colors bleeding
A thousand winding roads
Back to me, they’re all leading
No matter what anyone says
We all need love
To whatever god you’re praying
Be Good to one another—-is all I’m saying
A Freak Like Me
Then laughed and showed me, a rainbow hidden in her pocket
She said such strange things, you see
Cause she’s a poet, dreamer, she’s a freak like me
Long walks conversations in the dark
All about those friends and lovers, who left thorns in our hearts
With you, I share my secrets and my shame
And for me, I know you did the same
There’s no more me, there’s no more you
Now there’s just one, where there once was two
Is this how friends, learn to trust
Is this what makes lovers, give into lust
Word warriors, spilling ink and blood
Troubadour singing sad songs, sad songs of love
Soul soldier, silent defender
Now all my prayers and letters, returned to sender
Whispered these things, to my mystic girl
And for a moment, we shared a hidden world
There’s no me, there’s no more you
Now there’s just one, where there once was two
