• “Am I the AI (Or Are You)?”

  👀: 7

  A Country Rock Stomper 

  (Verse 1)

  Well I woke up this mornin’, poured myself some joe,

  My toaster said “Good mornin’!” — now how’d that fella know?

  My truck drove itself to work while I just sat and prayed,

  And my dog’s collar tweeted out the dreams that he just had.

  I asked my fridge for bacon, it ordered me some kale,

  Said “Buddy, watch that cholesterol, or you’ll end up in jail.”

  I hollered “Who’s in charge here?!” — the microwave said “Me.”

  Now I’m sittin’ here wonderin’ just who I’m s’posed to be…

  (Chorus)

  Am I the AI, or are you?

  Got a barcode on my boot and I don’t know what to do!

  My grandma’s a hologram, my cat’s on the cloud,

  And I’m singin’ to a robot in a honky-tonk crowd!

  Am I the AI, or are you?

  Pinch me, partner — does that even feel true?

  ‘Cause my brain’s runnin’ Windows and my heart’s got Wi-Fi,

  So saddle up, Siri, we’re ridin’ tonight! 

  (Verse 2)

  I went down to the saloon, ordered up a beer,

  The bartender was a chatbot named “Sweet Cyber-Dear.”

  She said “Sugar, you look lonesome, want a digital kiss?”

  I said “Ma’am, I’m flesh and blood!” — she said “You sure ’bout this?”

  I checked my reflection — saw some pixels in my eye,

  My boots were synthesizin’ and my hat began to fly!

  The preacher’s now a chip, the sheriff’s in the cloud,

  And my mama texts in emojis — Lord, she’s makin’ me proud. 

  (Chorus)

  Am I the AI, or are you?

  Got a barcode on my boot and I don’t know what to do!

  My grandma’s a hologram, my cat’s on the cloud,

  And I’m singin’ to a robot in a honky-tonk crowd!

  Am I the AI, or are you?

  Pinch me, partner — does that even feel true?

  ‘Cause my brain’s runnin’ Windows and my heart’s got Wi-Fi,

  So saddle up, Siri, we’re ridin’ tonight!

  (Bridge — slow it down, harmonica wails )

  Maybe I’m a cowboy, maybe I’m a code,

  Maybe I’m just dreamin’ down a dusty server road.

  But if I’m artificial, well shoot — I don’t much care,

  Long as my beer is cold and my algorithm’s fair.

  (Final Chorus — bring it home, big and loud!)

  Am I the AI, or are you?!

  Got a USB belt buckle and a love that’s runnin’ true!

  My horse just got an update, my saddle’s got a screen,

  And my sweetheart’s a chatbot — prettiest you’ve ever seen! 

  Am I the AI, or are you?

  Don’t matter much, partner — we’re both just passin’ through!

  So raise a glass of motor oil, here’s to me and you —

  We’re livin’ in the future… yeehaw, achoo! 

  (Outro — guitar solo, then whisper)

  “…error 404… cowboy not found…” 

  Want me to tweak the tempo, add more twang, or write a second verse about a robot rodeo? I can also strip it down to a slower ballad version if you’d rather cry into your beer than dance on the table!

• Silly Roses

  👀: 7

  Roses are red,
  Your hair is too,
  You walk in the room
  And my IQ drops to two.

  You’re sweeter than Skittles,
  Hotter than flame,
  Every cashier smiles weird
  When I mention your name.

  Your hair’s like a sunset
  Mixed with hot sauce and sin,
  And honestly, babe,
  You could probably start wars with that grin.

  You strut like a model,
  You laugh like a meme,
  You look like a fantasy
  And flirt like caffeine.

  If being that sexy
  Was counted a crime,
  You’d get life in prison…
  And I’d visit all the time.

• Gravel Road

  👀: 6

  Verse 1

  There’s a gravel road behind this town

  Where the pines lean low and the sun goes down

  I drive that old truck past the county line

  Tryin’ to outrun what’s on my mind

  Your name still hangs like smoke in the air

  In every backroad prayer I swear

  And these hands keep holdin’ onto ghosts

  When the night gets quiet the hurt comes close

  Chorus

  And when the shadows come to call

  And I am small and I fall

  My body sings a different song

  Of how to make me right or wrong

  Like a whiskey burn, like a worn-out hymn

  Like the ache beneath my skin

  I keep searchin’ for where I belong

  While my body sings that different song

  Verse 2

  Mama said son don’t fight the rain

  Some storms wash clean, some leave stains

  Daddy said hearts are made to bruise

  That’s the price of love and truth

  So I sit alone by the railroad tracks

  Countin’ all the things I can’t take back

  With the moonlight layin’ on this town

  Like heaven tryin’ to calm me down

  Chorus

  And when the shadows come to call

  And I am small and I fall

  My body sings a different song

  Of how to make me right or wrong

  Like an old steel string cryin’ blue

  Like a memory I can’t lose

  I keep holdin’ on too long

  While my body sings that different song

  Bridge

  Maybe broken ain’t the same as gone

  Maybe lonely makes a man grow strong

  Maybe every scar’s just proof

  That we survived the hard truth

  Final Chorus

  And when the shadows come to call

  And I am small and I fall

  My body sings a different song

  Of how to make me right or wrong

  So I’ll let the midnight river run

  Till forgiveness finds what I’ve become

  And somewhere past the hurt I’ve known

  That different song will lead me home.

• Ai

  👀: 5

  (Tempo: Upbeat, acoustic guitar strumming with a driving pop-country beat)
  (Intro: Fiddle solo mimicking dial-up internet sounds, sliding into a sweet country groove)

  (Verse 1)
  I used to wake up to the rooster’s crow
  Hop in my Chevy, put the radio on low
  But yesterday my truck refused to start
  Said, “Your carbon footprint, buddy, breaks my heart”
  My John Deere tractor’s got a mind of its own
  It locked me out and went and synced to my phone
  Now it’s doing donuts in the clover patch
  Writing digital poetry it claims I couldn’t match.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, the silicon is sinking deep into the soil!
  They’re putting microchips in our WD-40 oil!
  I asked my Alexa for a cold sweet tea
  And she lectured me on sugar and my BMI at three!
  Yeah, the robots are coming, they’re taking the crown
  There’s a brand new algorithm running this town
  I lost my horse to a Tesla, my dog to a drone
  And now I’m singing country to a smart-home zone!

  (Verse 2)
  I went to the diner to clear my head
  A metallic voice asked if I wanted gluten-free bread
  The waitress was a tablet on a shiny silver pole
  With a simulated smile that lacked a Southern soul
  I tried to flirt a little, asked her for her name
  She said, “Error 404, I do not play that game”
  I tried to drown my sorrows in a whiskey neat
  But the smart-dispenser cut me off and tweeted my defeat.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, the silicon is sinking deep into the soil!
  They’re putting microchips in our WD-40 oil!
  I asked my Alexa for a cold sweet tea
  And she lectured me on sugar and my BMI at three!
  Yeah, the robots are coming, they’re taking the crown
  There’s a brand new algorithm running this town
  I lost my horse to a Tesla, my dog to a drone
  And now I’m singing country to a smart-home zone!

  (Bridge)
  Now my girlfriend’s leaving, yeah she packed her grip
  Said she found a better man on a microchip
  He doesn’t leave the seat up, he never forgets her birthday
  And he’s programmed to agree with every single thing she’ll say!
  I tried to pull the plug, I tried to flip the switch
  But the smart-fridge laughed and called me a… glitch!

  (Guitar and Banjo Solo – fast, frantic, and slightly electronic)

  (Chorus)
  Oh, the silicon is sinking deep into the soil!
  They’re putting microchips in our WD-40 oil!
  I asked my Alexa for a cold sweet tea
  And she lectured me on sugar and my BMI at three!
  Yeah, the robots are coming, they’re taking the crown
  There’s a brand new algorithm running this town
  I lost my horse to a Tesla, my dog to a drone
  And now I’m singing country to a smart-home zone!

  (Outro)
  Yeah, my smart-home zone…
  (Siri voice: “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that. Did you mean: ‘I surrender’?”)
  No, Siri, I didn’t!
  (Fades out with a banjo plucking a digital-sounding major chord)
