Love Is In The Small Things
I hold her hand
So nervous like the first time
She offers me a gentle smile
It hides a trace of pain
2 Days mean more
When they’e numbered
I can’t imagine my days Here
Living without her
3 She use to make my meals
Use to mend my clothes
Now there’s only shadows
Where she made a small house our home
4 The sounds of laughing children
Once filled these empty rooms
The best of times in our life
We danced and laughed and struggled through
Those were the days
Even if we didn’t know it
Love is in the small things
Seldom seen and often go unnoticed
1 She wants to walk in the garden
But her legs have grown weak
I help her to the window
She shuffles her feet
2 Holding hands in silence
Siting in the setting sun (ya see)
Love doesn’t belong
Only to the young
3 Sunday drives in the country
Picnics by the lake
It doesn’t seem that long ago
But time moves on, refuses to wait
4 Whispers a Hail Mary
Tells me there’s angel circling
She can hear them calling
Calling her name
5 I kiss her forehead, and say
If you must go, I understand
What will I do without my sweetheart
Who I shared my life, hand in hand
Those were the days
Even if we didn’t know it
Love is in the small things
Seldom seen or noticed
Give Yourself Some Room
Give yourself some room
Give yourself some space
This life’s a marathon
Not a foot race
Beware of fools and takers
Be your own best friend
It’s all about where you’re going
And not where you’ve been
Learn to love yourself
Find a way to make a home
Know I’m always with you,
No matter how far you may roam
Take your time
Don’t get in a hurry
Life’s to short,
To waste on fear and worry
Don’t be afraid to try
Be strong, be brave
Don’t feel alone
We’re all just, finding our way
Live out loud
Live wild and free
Don’t let anyone tell ya
Who or what ya suppose to be
Chase down every dream
Cause time flies by fast
Let go of your sorrow
Even the toughest of times will pass
(Repeat Chorus)
The Forgiveness Song
This one’s for all the old couples who stuck it out through the hard times.
I’m tired of you
Being tired of me
I’m tired of me
Being tired of you
Once again
You forgive me
Once again
I forgive you (2X)
Your my friend and lover
I’m your lover and friend
We’re still together
Cause we’ve learned how to bend
Wrote you a love song
Wrote me a letter
Some loves fall apart==but
We’re better off together
We can take bike
We can take a bus
Enjoy the ride
Don’t get in a rush
Come on to bed
Don’t make a fuss
Shut off those lights
I’m gonna make ya blush
I’ve been wrong
A few times right
You’ve been right
A few times wrong
After all our trials
And tribulations
Our loves like a sweet song
Playing on a country station (2x)
Gave me a kiss, and a hug
Gave ya a hug, and a kiss
Turn tears to laughter
Cause it’s better than being pissed
Doubts and questions
We’ve had a few
But, you still love me
And, I still love you
We can take a Harley
We can take a bus
Enjoy the ride
Don’t get in a rush
Come on to bed
Don’t make a fuss
Shut off those lights
We’ll polish off the dust
I’m gonna make ya blush
Still Not Feeling My Our Age
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
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
All Those Pretty Words
Under the covers, of my bad decisions
Just when I thought, I had it figured out
This emptiness once again, fills me with doubt
Here I am, alone again
Not even my pride, left to defend
There’s a mirror, inside of me
Is who I am, what you really see
All my pretty words, now waisted
Poems and promises, I thought would save ya
Loves a bitter word, our hearts have tasted
Find what you love, and watch it break ya
Once again, I’ve laid myself bare
What this world thinks, Hell, I no longer care
Apologies, sleeping inside us all
Like broken words, now tired and oh so raw
Lets pretend it all never happened
We’ll hide our sadness, behind nervous laughter
Footsteps creaking, on wooden floors
Your ghost whispers, behind my closet door
All those pretty words, now waisted
Poems and promises, I once gave ya
Loves a bitter word, our hearts have tasted
Find what you love, and let it break ya
