• Hanging with the Boys

  : 6

  (Verse 1)
  Underneath the neon lights, we’re feeling so alive,
  Me and the boys, we’re ready for a night on the town, oh yeah.
  We’ve got our boots on, and our hats tipped just right,
  Gonna paint the town red, and make some memories tonight.

  (Chorus)
  It’s a night out with me and the boys,
  We’re gonna laugh, we’re gonna make some noise,
  With the music pumping and the drinks flowing free,
  It’s a night out with me and the boys, just you wait and see.

  (Verse 2)
  We’ll hit the honky-tonk, where the band’s playing our song,
  We’ll dance with the pretty girls, and sing along all night long.
  We’ll share stories and laughs, and maybe shed a tear,
  For the good times we’ve had, and the ones still to come, my dear.

  (Chorus)
  It’s a night out with me and the boys,
  We’re gonna laugh, we’re gonna make some noise,
  With the music pumping and the drinks flowing free,
  It’s a night out with me and the boys, just you wait and see.

  (Bridge)
  We may be rough around the edges, but our hearts are pure gold,
  We’ll stand by each other, through the highs and the lows.
  So come on and join us, for a night you won’t forget,
  With me and the boys, we’ll make memories you’ll never regret.

  (Chorus)
  It’s a night out with me and the boys,
  We’re gonna laugh, we’re gonna make some noise,
  With the music pumping and the drinks flowing free,
  It’s a night out with me and the boys, just you wait and see.

  (Outro)
  So let’s raise our glasses high, and toast to the night,
  With me and the boys, everything’s gonna be alright.
  We’ll keep the party going, till the morning light,
  It’s a night out with me and the boys, and it feels so right.

• Whiskey and the Wind

  : 11

  [Verse 1]
  The sun sets low on the Tennessee hills,
  The crickets cry, and the night gets still.
  I’m sitting here with my old guitar,
  Thinking ‘bout how you’re gone, and it’s tore me apart.

  The porch swing creaks, but it’s empty now,
  Just like my heart, I don’t know how,
  To keep on living when you’re not around,
  This pain runs deeper than the Cumberland sound.

  [Chorus]
  Oh, the whiskey burns, and the wind it cries,
  I’m lost in the shadows of our goodbye.
  Your memory’s a ghost in this lonesome place,
  I’m chasing the echoes of your sweet embrace.

  [Verse 2]
  Your laugh was brighter than the morning sun,
  Now every day feels like the battle’s begun.
  I see your face in the stars at night,
  But it’s just a dream, and it don’t feel right.

  The old oak tree where we carved our names,
  It’s still standing, but nothing’s the same.
  The roots run deep, but my heart’s been torn,
  Since the day you left, I’ve been so forlorn.

  [Chorus]
  Oh, the whiskey burns, and the wind it cries,
  I’m lost in the shadows of our goodbye.
  Your memory’s a ghost in this lonesome place,
  I’m chasing the echoes of your sweet embrace.

  [Bridge]
  I’ve tried to move on, but I’m stuck in the past,
  Every step I take feels like it’s my last.
  The fiddle plays, but it’s out of tune,
  Just like my heart since I lost you.

  [Verse 3]
  I’ll keep on walking this lonesome road,
  Carrying the weight of this heavy load.
  But somewhere out there, I hope you’ll see,
  You’ll always be the only one for me.

  [Chorus]
  Oh, the whiskey burns, and the wind it cries,
  I’m lost in the shadows of our goodbye.
  Your memory’s a ghost in this lonesome place,
  I’m chasing the echoes of your sweet embrace.

  [Outro]
  So here’s to the love that I’ll never forget,
  To the pain and the sorrow, and the tears I’ve shed.
  I’ll raise my glass to the stars above,
  To the memory of you, my one true love.

• In Georgetown

  : 11

  In Georgetown, where the marshes sigh,
  I stroll with my lady, beneath the sky.
  The old live oaks, with Spanish moss,
  Whisper secrets, as we cross.

  Hand in hand, we wander slow,
  Through historic streets, where tales bestow.
  The harbor glistens, a serene sight,
  As we embrace the soft twilight.

  Her laughter mingles with the breeze,
  As we pause under ancient trees.
  The scent of salt, the river’s flow,
  All blend in moments we’ll never let go.

  In this quaint town, where time stands still,
  We find our peace, atop a hill.
  With my beautiful lady by my side,
  In Georgetown, love and joy collide.

• Small Town

  : 11

  (Verse 1)
  In this small town where the sun sets slow,
  Where everybody knows your name and where you go,
  The streets are lined with memories and old oak trees,
  And the sound of laughter carries on the breeze.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, living in a small town, it’s a simple life,
  Where the days are long and the nights are right,
  We gather ’round the fire, share stories and a song,
  In this small town, we know where we belong.

  (Verse 2)
  Friday nights, we’re at the high school game,
  Cheering on the team, it’s all the same,
  The diner’s open late, serving up some pie,
  And the jukebox plays our favorite country lullaby.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, living in a small town, it’s a simple life,
  Where the days are long and the nights are right,
  We gather ’round the fire, share stories and a song,
  In this small town, we know where we belong.

  (Bridge)
  We may not have the city lights or the hustle and the rush,
  But we’ve got heart and soul, and that’s more than enough,
  We take care of our own, and we stand by our friends,
  In this small town, the love never ends.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, living in a small town, it’s a simple life,
  Where the days are long and the nights are right,
  We gather ’round the fire, share stories and a song,
  In this small town, we know where we belong.

  (Outro)
  So here’s to the small town, where life’s a little slow,
  Where the people are the heart, and the love continues to grow,
  In this small town, we’ll stay forever strong,
  In this small town, we know where we belong.

• “Dust and Devotion

  : 7

  Verse 1
  Sunset paints the porch in gold,
  Your laugh’s a story I’ll never outgrow.
  Brought you daisies, whispered “I do” too soon—
  Now I’m buildin’ a life ’neath this Tennessee moon.

  Chorus
  Oh darlin’, I’ll ride every backroad to your heart,
  Break every fence just to prove we’ll never part.
  A golden band, a preacher’s stand—
  I’ll work these hands till they earn your “yes, I can.”

  Verse 2
  Storms tried drownin’ our fields last spring,
  But you held me close like a promise you’d keep.
  Danced you barefoot through the starlit rows,
  Swore this old farm’s where our roots’ll grow.

  Chorus
  Oh darlin’, I’ll ride every backroad to your heart,
  Break every fence just to prove we’ll never part.
  A golden band, a preacher’s stand—
  I’ll work these hands till they earn your “yes, I can.”

  Bridge
  Midnight confession by the rusted truck,
  Kneelin’ in gravel, prayin’ luck don’t run out.
  Your mama’s quilt, my granddad’s vow—
  Ain’t no love richer than the one we’re plowin’ now.

  Outro
  So tie your dreams to mine, let’s sway slow,
  Two souls in a waltz only heaven knows.
  Forever starts in your daddy’s front yard—
  My heart’s your homestead, baby, no lookin’ back.

• Dusty Boots and Glory

  : 7

  (Verse 1)
  Started with a pickup, a heart full of steel,
  Dirt-road dreams and a rusty wheel.
  Sweat on my brow, callouses on my palms,
  Chasin’ that horizon through the quiet and the storms.

  Mama said, “Son, don’t let the doubters win,”
  So I worked every sunrise, let the fire within
  Burn through the ache, through the blisters and rain,
  Till that far-off promise felt closer than the pain.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, it’s dusty boots and glory,
  A long, hard-told story.
  Every mile, every scar,
  Led me right where you are.
  When the climb meets the sky,
  And your “why” outshines the “try,”
  That’s dusty boots and glory—
  Sweet victory’s tune in my veins.

  (Verse 2)
  Midnights in the fields, hummin’ old hymns,
  Blistered strings on my guitar, singin’ hope through the dim.
  Met the devil at the crossroads, but I turned him down—
  “I’ll take the long way ‘round to my crown.”

  (Chorus)
  Oh, it’s dusty boots and glory,
  A long, hard-told story.
  Every mile, every scar,
  Led me right where you are.
  When the climb meets the sky,
  And your “why” outshines the “try,”
  That’s dusty boots and glory—
  Sweet victory’s tune in my veins.

  (Bridge)
  The darkest nights crack before the dawn,
  A tired soul learns to lean on the song.
  Fingers bled, but the melody stayed strong—
  Now I’m standin’ where I swore I’d belong.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, it’s dusty boots and glory,
  A long, hard-told story.
  Every mile, every scar,
  Led me right where you are.
  When the climb meets the sky,
  And your “why” outshines the “try,”
  That’s dusty boots and glory—
  Sweet victory’s tune in my veins.

  (Outro)
  So here’s to the grind, the falls, the fight,
  The whiskey-sipped truths on a porch late at night.
  When the dirt clears, and the dream’s in your grip—
  That’s dusty boots, wild hearts, and a life fully lived.

• The Harvest

  : 9

  (Verse 1)
  Well, the sun’s risin’ over the fields,
  Got my boots on, ready for the day to yield.
  I’ve been up since dawn, with the rooster’s crow,
  Plowin’ these rows, watchin’ my hard work grow.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, the corn’s a-swayin’ in the gentle breeze,
  And the beans are climbin’ up the old oak trees.
  With every drop of sweat, I’m buildin’ my dreams,
  Out here on this farm, life’s sweeter than it seems.

  (Verse 2)
  Got a little shack with a rusty tin roof,
  Where I sit and sip my coffee, it’s my favorite truth.
  The tractor’s hummin’ like a song in the air,
  And I’m singin’ along with the love that we share.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, the corn’s a-swayin’ in the gentle breeze,
  And the beans are climbin’ up the old oak trees.
  With every drop of sweat, I’m buildin’ my dreams,
  Out here on this farm, life’s sweeter than it seems.

  (Bridge)
  When the harvest comes in, it’s a sight to behold,
  Golden grains and tomatoes, red and bold.
  I’ll gather my family, we’ll share what we’ve made,
  In this life on the farm, love never fades.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, the corn’s a-swayin’ in the gentle breeze,
  And the beans are climbin’ up the old oak trees.
  With every drop of sweat, I’m buildin’ my dreams,
  Out here on this farm, life’s sweeter than it seems.

  (Outro)
  So here’s to the land, and the work that we do,
  With the stars overhead, and the skies so blue.
  I’ll keep on plowin’, with my heart in this place,
  In the fields of my farm, I’ve found my grace.

• Whispers in the Pines

  : 7

  (Verse 1)
  The banjo cries on a moonlit hill,
  Your empty chair, it haunts me still.
  Dusty fiddle sings a lonesome tune,
  My heart’s a wound beneath the June.

  (Verse 2)
  You rode off where the river bends,
  Left my love like a broken fence.
  Memories echo through these pines,
  Your laughter fades with passing time.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, my darlin’, bluegrass blue,
  Every chord still hums of you.
  Steel strings weep, the mandolin moans—
  I’m a ghost in this hollow home.

  (Bridge)
  The train whistle wails your name,
  But these tracks don’t lead where you’ve gone.
  I’ll strum these tears till kingdom come,
  For the love that’s lost and never won.

  (Outro)
  Sunrise finds me on this porch again,
  Whiskey-voiced, callin’ the wind.
  Your shadow dances in the dew—
  This bluegrass soul still longs for you.

• Wheels Rollin’, Hearts Holdin

  : 4

  (Verse 1)
  Highway lines and your hand in mine,
  Dusty tires singin’ through the pines.
  Sunset blush on your leather seat,
  Laughin’ loud with the rhythm of the beat.

  (Chorus)
  Wheels rollin’, love’s our compass—ain’t no wrong way,
  Your smile’s the light that chases every gray.
  Through the storms and the prairie moon,
  Home’s the road I’m walkin’ next to you.

  (Verse 2)
  Neon nights in some nowhere town,
  Two-step shadows as the jukebox drowns.
  Whispers sweet like a pedal steel,
  Miles fade but this fire’s real.

  (Chorus)
  Wheels rollin’, love’s our compass—ain’t no wrong way,
  Your smile’s the light that chases every gray.
  Through the storms and the prairie moon,
  Home’s the road I’m walkin’ next to you.

  (Bridge)
  Rain tried to knock us, wind tried to steer,
  But baby, we’re the truck it couldn’t veer.
  Horizon’s bold, and our hearts are too—
  Ain’t no map for a love this true.

  (Chorus)
  Wheels rollin’, love’s our compass—ain’t no wrong way,
  Your smile’s the light that chases every gray.
  Through the storms and the prairie moon,
  Home’s the road I’m walkin’ next to you.

  (Outro)
  Truck bed stars, your head on my chest,
  Forever’s just the next interstate west.
  Engines hum, your lips taste like wine—
  Keep me driftin’ in your sweet shotgun line.

• Highway Hearts

  : 6

  (Verse 1)
  Dusty roads and a sunrise glow,
  Your hand in mine, this old truck rolls slow.
  Radio plays our favorite twang,
  Every mile’s a vow where the wild hearts sang.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, darlin’, you’re my compass, my Northern Light,
  With love in my chest and you ridin’ shotgun tonight.
  Through every backroad, every starry sign,
  This life’s a treasure ‘cause you’re always mine.

  (Verse 2)
  Campfire sparks and a steel guitar,
  Your laugh’s the melody beneath the wanderin’ stars.
  We’ve traced the map with tire-track rhymes,
  Two drifters chasin’ forever, unbound by time.

  (Bridge)
  Seasons change, but baby, we don’t bend,
  Every sunset’s just our story’s next end.
  The world’s our porch swing, the mountains our choir,
  Burnin’ brighter with every mile higher.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, darlin’, you’re my compass, my Northern Light,
  With love in my chest and you ridin’ shotgun tonight.
  Through every backroad, every starry sign,
  This life’s a treasure ‘cause you’re always mine.

  (Outro)
  So let the highway hum its lullaby,
  Forever’s just you, me, and that endless sky…
  Always mine.

• Backwoods Runners

  : 6

  (Verse 1)
  Friday night, headlights cut the pine,
  Coolers full and engines primed to fly.
  Dirt-road dust hangs heavy in the air,
  Pedal down, we’re chasin’ moonbeams anywhere.

  (Chorus)
  We’re backwoods runners with hearts wide open,
  Tires churnin’ gravel, wild words unspoken.
  Mud on the windows, gears in a roar,
  Laughin’ like bandits—ain’t winnin’, we just wanna soar!

  (Verse 2)
  Took a curve too tight, near kissed a creek,
  Radio blared while the pines stood cheek-to-cheek.
  Jenny’s Chevy hollered, Jake’s Ford spun,
  But every wrong turn’s a memory when the night’s done.

  (Chorus)
  We’re backwoods runners with four-wheel freedom,
  Stars as our judges, no scorecard needed.
  Maps in the mud, where the wild things meet,
  The faster we go, the more this old world feels sweet.

  (Bridge)
  Some folks count trophies, we count the cracks,
  In windshields lit by lightning’s ragged tracks.
  Years’ll roll by, but we’ll still hear the hum—
  Of a younger us, yellin’, “C’mon, let’s run!”

  (Outro)
  Sunrise paints the oaks, but ain’t nobody tired,
  Keys still jinglin’, boots caked and wired.
  The woods whisper, “Y’all come back soon,”
  ‘Cause the real prize here’s who’s ridin’ shotgun to the moon.

• Paws on My Heart

  : 5

  Verse 1
  You were a ball of fur in a pickup truck bed,
  Muddy paws, blue bandana tied ‘round your head.
  Named you “Buddy” under that July sky,
  You chewed my boots, but I never asked why.
  We chased fireflies down old backroad trails,
  Your bark harmonized with the coyote wails.
  You grew too fast, but I swore right then—
  I’d love every chapter, start to end.

  Chorus
  Through every high, every low, every tear I couldn’t hide, You were my shadow in the sunlight, my moon on a night ride. From clumsy leaps to slow, gray strides, Oh, Buddy, you were always by my side.

  Verse 2
  Years turned your muzzle to sugar and snow,
  Our walks grew shorter, but you still loved to go.
  You’d nap in the dust where the sun pooled warm,
  But you’d still guard my heart through every storm.
  That last autumn, you’d sigh by the screen door,
  Your eyes said, “I’d stay if I could.”
  Then one quiet dawn, you left on soft paws—
  Took a piece of my soul where you trod.

  Bridge
  Now your leash hangs empty, that old bowl’s retired,
  But I see your ghost in the fields we admired.
  Some say time heals, but I just rearrange
  The ache of the love that will never change.

  Chorus
  Through empty halls, silent nights, I still feel you near, Your phantom steps on the porch, your sigh in my ear. And though my heart’s cracked open wide, Oh, Buddy, you’re forever by my side.

  Outro
  Someday, past that rainbow bridge, I’ll run
  To find my best friend…
  And we’ll be young.

• Land of the Brave Again

  : 13

  (Verse 1)
  From the dawn of a new era, we rose to reclaim,
  A nation reborn, with a fire in its veins.
  Walls built strong, where the rule’s finally clear,
  No more shadows creeping—we hold the frontier.

  Taxes cut deep, paychecks started to climb,
  Jobs marching home in their own perfect time.
  The forgotten no longer, we’re heard loud and true,
  A promise kept, red, white, and blue.

  (Pre-Chorus)
  Fought for the freedom, fought for the right,
  Day by day, turning dark into light.
  Economy soaring, the world takes a note,
  This ship’s back on course, staying steady, afloat.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, we’re making America great again,
  Borders secure, the storm’s at an end.
  Inflation’s retreating, the future’s in sight,
  Victories blazing, our flag flying bright.
  From every heartland to each shining shore,
  We’re the land of the brave—winning like never before!

  (Verse 2)
  Main Street’s alive, factories hum with pride,
  Dreams reignited, no more running to hide.
  Strength in our handshakes, resolve in our stride,
  A legacy built where the skeptics deride.

  Enemies met with a fist firm, not frail,
  Deals struck wiser, no more rigged to fail.
  Justice restored, law and order prevail,
  A chorus of patriots—this is our tale.

  (Bridge)
  They said it couldn’t be done, but we proved them wrong,
  A symphony of progress, a resilient song.
  America First, no apology made,
  A beacon of hope, unashamed, unswayed.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, we’re making America great again,
  Borders secure, the storm’s at an end.
  Inflation’s retreating, the future’s in sight,
  Victories blazing, our flag flying bright.
  From every heartland to each shining shore,
  We’re the land of the brave—winning like never before!

  (Outro)
  So here’s to the fighters, the bold, and the free,
  A nation united, one family tree.
  With Trump at the helm, we’ll keep charging ahead,
  The dawn of tomorrow—no fear, only tread.

• Our Harmony Highway

  : 8

  (Verse 1)
  Dusty notebook, half-strummed chords,
  A dream too shy to cross the border.
  Then she sat down, sunlight in her veins,
  Strung my heartbeats into refrains.

  (Pre-Chorus)
  She hummed the moon, I chased the words,
  A symphony where silence blurred.
  Fingers on the keys, my pen in flight—
  We turned the dark to firefly light.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, she’s the melody, I’m the rhyme,
  Writing tomorrows one line at a time.
  From a rusty wish to a neon tune,
  We’re drivin’ down our harmony highway soon.
  Her voice, the map; my soul, the wheel—
  A song we built feels more than real.

  (Verse 2)
  Midnight coffee, scribbled page,
  Her laugh turned doubt to a golden stage.
  Every “almost” found its perfect chord,
  In her arms, the music soared.

  (Pre-Chorus)
  She took my “could-be,” spun it bold,
  A story only heaven could hold.
  Now the radio sings our desperate prayer—
  A million hearts hummin’ everywhere.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, she’s the melody, I’m the rhyme,
  Writing tomorrows one line at a time.
  From a rusty wish to a neon tune,
  We’re drivin’ down our harmony highway soon.
  Her voice, the map; my soul, the wheel—
  A song we built feels more than real.

  (Bridge)
  Now the stadium’s roar is our backroad breeze,
  Her name in lights, my tears on her sleeve.
  The dream we carved from nothin’ but air—
  A million hands clappin’ like answered prayer.

  (Outro)
  So here’s to the girl who turned the key,
  Unlocked the sky where my ground used to be.
  Every chord’s a heartbeat, every verse a vow—
  Our harmony highway’s singin’ out loud…
  Singin’ out loud…
  Oh, singin’ out loud…

• Diamond Days

  : 12

  Title: “Diamond Days”

  Verse 1
  Clockin’ double shifts beneath the neon glow,
  Savings jar on the sill, watchin’ pennies grow.
  Dirt beneath these nails, heart full of Chevrolet steel,
  Every overtime hour’s a step closer to the deal.

  Pre-Chorus
  Sunset to sunrise, I’m pourin’ my pride,
  In a velvet-box dream waiting there inside.
  Yeah, the clock’s ticking loud, but baby, I swear,
  I’ll slide that sparkle on your hand before the next county fair.

  Chorus
  Oh, it’s diamond days, baby, diamond nights,
  Workin’ my bones ’til the stars align just right.
  You’re a sunset in white, my forever surprise,
  And every speck of dust turns to gold in your eyes.
  So let the world spin fast—I’ll outrun that ring,
  ‘Cause nothin’ shines brighter than the promise I’ll bring.

  Verse 2
  Three summers faded, truck bed full of rain,
  But your laugh’s the anthem keeps me drivin’ through the pain.
  Found a stone in the rough, like us, wild and true,
  Now I’m chiselin’ angels just to match the way you move.

  Pre-Chorus
  Moonlight on your shoulder, my compass, my north,
  Every paycheck scribbled “Love worth fighting for.”
  And when that band catches fire in the preacher’s July,
  You’ll be my holy ground under that bluebird sky.

  Chorus
  Oh, it’s diamond days, baby, diamond nights,
  Workin’ my bones ’til the stars align just right.
  You’re a sunset in white, my forever surprise,
  And every speck of dust turns to gold in your eyes.
  So let the world spin fast—I’ll outrun that ring,
  ‘Cause nothin’ shines brighter than the promise I’ll bring.

  Bridge
  Yeah, the miles got long, but your love stayed strong,
  Now I’m down on one knee with a heart full of song.
  This rock’s got your spark, like the dawn’s first light,
  Say “I do,” darlin’—let’s turn forever tonight.

  Outro Chorus
  Oh, it’s diamond days, baby, diamond life,
  Kiss me slow in the headlights, my bride, my wife.
  You’re a wildfire in lace, my salvation, my creed,
  And every hard day dies where your eternity begins with me.

• Roswell NM

  : 10

  In a desert stretch where secrets lie,
  Two souls wandered ‘neath the endless sky,
  To Roswell’s heart, where whispers blend,
  With tales of spaceships and worlds that bend.

  She, an artist with dreams so vast,
  He, a writer with a curious past,
  They met by chance, a cosmic plan,
  In Roswell, where their journey began.

  Through streets imbued with mystic lore,
  They stepped inside the UFO Museum’s door,
  Alien faces in glassy frames,
  Sparked their wonder and fanned the flames.

  They marveled at the artifacts,
  The flying discs and the stranger facts,
  Stories of lights that danced at night,
  In a town where legends take their flight.

  Hand in hand, they roamed the halls,
  Where mysteries whispered from the walls,
  In each other’s eyes, they saw the gleam,
  Of shared adventure, a kindred dream.

  Beyond the exhibits, under twilight’s hue,
  They found the Crash Site, where myths accrue,
  In the barren land, they felt a pull,
  To the cosmic dance, so beautiful.

  They wandered to the Roswell Spacewalk,
  Neon lights and cosmic talk,
  A journey through the galaxy,
  In a town where dreams feel free.

  With every step, their bond grew tight,
  In Roswell’s magic, under alien light,
  Two hearts entwined, in wonder’s thrall,
  In a place where they felt they’d seen it all.

  By day, they explored the earthly ground,
  By night, they felt the stars surround,
  In Roswell, where their paths had crossed,
  They found each other and nothing was lost.

  For in the land of cosmic lore,
  They found a love worth searching for,
  Two souls who wandered, now stood still,
  In Roswell’s heart, their dreams fulfilled.

  Got a feelin’ in my bones, I’ve got a wanderlust.

  (Pre-Chorus)

• West Grand Canyon

  : 10

  In the heart of the West Grand Canyon, bold and vast,
  Where ancient whispers of time forever last,
  My gorgeous wife by my side, hand in hand,
  We embarked on an adventure, grand and unplanned.

  The sky, a canvas of cerulean hue,
  With streaks of gold as morning broke through,
  Zip lining above the canyon’s maw,
  Nature’s grandeur left us in awe.

  Harnessed in gear, our spirits soared high,
  With each step closer, a thrilled, joyous sigh,
  The edge of the cliff, our daring leap,
  Into the canyon’s depths, so wide and deep.

  The world fell away, silence so sweet,
  As we zipped through the air, hearts at full beat,
  The wind in our hair, the sun on our face,
  Together we flew, embracing the chase.

  The red rocks below, a breathtaking sight,
  Carved by eons, kissed by the light,
  Eagles soared past in majestic flight,
  A symphony of freedom, pure and bright.

  We laughed and we shouted, our voices entwined,
  In this wild adventure, two souls combined,
  Her eyes sparkled with an untamed gleam,
  A moment eternal, a shared dream.

  Our love, a tether, strong and true,
  In that canyon’s embrace, it only grew,
  With every zip, every glide, every turn,
  A deeper passion, a fiercer burn.

  As we touched down, feet on solid ground,
  In each other’s arms, solace we found,
  The West Grand Canyon, a memory grand,
  Of a day spent soaring, hand in hand.

  In the echo of canyons, our laughter remained,
  A testament to the joy we had gained,
  My gorgeous wife, my partner, my friend,
  In life’s great adventure, until the end.

• Arizona to California

  : 10

  (Verse 1)
  Woke up under the desert sun, Arizona sky so wide,
  Packed my bags, hit the road, got the open highway by my side,
  Through the canyons and the plains, where the saguaro stand so tall,
  I’m chasing dreams and sunsets, answering the wild call.

  (Chorus)
  From Arizona to California, where the ocean meets the sky,
  Riding down that coastal highway, where the waves kiss the tide,
  Through the redwood forests, where the giants touch the stars,
  Every mile, every moment, this journey’s who we are.

  (Verse 2)
  Crossed the state line, felt the change, the desert fades away,
  Palm trees swayin’ in the breeze, as the golden beaches lay,
  Santa Monica sunsets, Malibu’s eternal glow,
  Surf the waves, taste the salt, let the west coast rhythm flow.

  (Chorus)
  From Arizona to California, where the ocean meets the sky,
  Riding down that coastal highway, where the waves kiss the tide,
  Through the redwood forests, where the giants touch the stars,
  Every mile, every moment, this journey’s who we are.

  (Bridge)
  Through Big Sur’s winding roads, cliffs that kiss the sea,
  The wind whispers ancient tales, of what it means to be free,
  Past the vineyards, through the valleys, where wildflowers bloom,
  To the towering redwoods, standing tall in nature’s room.

  (Chorus)
  From Arizona to California, where the ocean meets the sky,
  Riding down that coastal highway, where the waves kiss the tide,
  Through the redwood forests, where the giants touch the stars,
  Every mile, every moment, this journey’s who we are.

  (Outro)
  Now the road may bend and curve, but the spirit of the ride,
  Carries on through life’s adventures, with the ocean as our guide,
  From the deserts to the forests, under the vast and endless sky,
  We find our hearts in travel, where the road meets the eye.

  Her hair dances like autumn’s flame,
  A symphony of copper, whispers my name.
  Eyes like twilight, soft and deep,
  In her gaze, my heart skips a beat.
  We sway to a rhythm only we know,
  A melody spun from the stars’ slow glow.
  Her laughter’s a riff, my soul’s sweetest tune,

  No final chord, no fading refrain,
  Just a love that burns, steady and plain.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, my ruby-tinted dream,

  Today, the stars lean close to hear
  the vows that bloom from years grown dear—
  your laughter, once a solo song,
  now twines with another, steady and strong.

  Remember when we traced the dawn,
  chasing dreams where roads stretched on?
  Now your hands, once clasped with mine,
  weave a future where two worlds align.

  Let time be gentle, let love be deep,
  a flame no storm or shadow can reap.
  Through seasons’ turn, through joy or tears,
  may grace walk softly in your years.

  The road ahead will rise and bend,
  but hold this truth: a true heart’s friend
  is both a mirror and a shield—
  a harbor where all wounds are healed.

  So dance, dear soul, in love’s clear light,
  where promise glows through every night.
  May every dawn find kindness near…
  The universe smiles—you’re here, you’re here.

  Two-step shuffle, a wink, a grin,
  Sweat on our brows, but we’re winnin’ again.

  The whole barn’s alive, spurs jinglin’ loud,
  Laughin’ like thunder, we’re shakin’ the clouds.
  One little kiss ‘midst the hay and the cheers,
  Ain’t no love like boot-kickin’ years.

  Chorus
  Stomp, stomp, hey! Hop, hop, hooray!
  Wild as the wind, but we’ll still obey
  That ol’ fiddle’s cry, the steel guitar’s sigh—
  We’re dancin’ the night away!

  Bridge
  Fiddle’s on fire, stars hit the dirt,
  Spin your baby ‘fore the crowd hollers “Work!”
  Kick up the dust, let the world melt slow,
  A million miles in a 4/4 row.

  Chorus
  Stomp, stomp, hey! Hop, hop, hooray!
  Hearts sync like a freight train rollin’ away.
  Cheek to cheek, let the whole wide world know—
  We’re dancin’ the night…
  Dancin’ the night…
  Dancin’ the night away!

  Tag
  Boots scuffed, hearts stuffed with a honky-tonk glow—
  Ain’t no end to this rodeo!

• Traveling

  : 7

  (Verse 1)
  Well, I packed up my bag and I hit the open road,
  Leavin’ Washington behind, where the evergreen grows.
  With the Cascades in my rearview, and the sky painted blue,
  I’m headin’ east to Montana, where the mountains kiss the dew.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, I’m rollin’ through the valleys, crossin’ rivers wide and free,
  From Washington to Montana, it’s just the open road and me.
  With the wind in my hair and my heart in the breeze,
  I’m travelin’ through God’s country, feelin’ wild and feelin’ free.

  (Verse 2)
  The Columbia River’s windin’, like a ribbon through the land,
  And the wheat fields of the Palouse, like a golden ocean grand.
  Through Spokane and Coeur d’Alene, where the lakes are crystal clear,
  Every mile that I travel, brings Montana near.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, I’m rollin’ through the valleys, crossin’ rivers wide and free,
  From Washington to Montana, it’s just the open road and me.
  With the wind in my hair and my heart in the breeze,
  I’m travelin’ through God’s country, feelin’ wild and feelin’ free.

  (Bridge)
  As I climb up Lookout Pass, the world comes into view,
  The Rockies standin’ proud, in a sky of endless blue.
  With each turn of the wheel, I feel a little lighter,
  This journey to Montana makes my spirit brighter.

  (Verse 3)
  Big Sky Country’s callin’, with its endless, open plains,
  Where the bison roam the prairies and freedom still remains.
  From the Bitterroot to the Flathead, every sight a masterpiece,
  Travelin’ from Washington, my soul finds its peace.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, I’m rollin’ through the valleys, crossin’ rivers wide and free,
  From Washington to Montana, it’s just the open road and me.
  With the wind in my hair and my heart in the breeze,
  I’m travelin’ through God’s country, feelin’ wild and feelin’ free.

  (Outro)
  So here’s to the journey, and the places yet to find,
  From Washington to Montana, leavin’ all my cares behind.
  With the open road before me, and the sky so wide and clear,
  I’ll keep travelin’ this country, year after golden year.

• When the Bell Rings Free

  : 9

  Verse 1
  Whispers of the past echo in the streets,
  Shadows of the chains still cling to our feet.
  But a spark ignites where the brave dare to tread—
  The dawn is breaking, painting skies overhead…

  Pre-Chorus
  Oh, can you hear it? The rhythm in the air—
  A heartbeat rising from a nation’s despair.
  The storm may rage, but the roots run deep…
  We are the promise that the dreamers keep!

  Chorus
  Rise up, rise up, let the anthem roar—
  From every valley to the golden shore!
  The bells of freedom chime for you and me,
  When the light breaks through…
  And the bell rings FREE!

  Verse 2
  We marched through fire, climbed the hill stone by stone,
  Carried the torch for the lost and unknown.
  Now the flame of Lady Liberty’s hand
  Guides us home to reclaim this land!

  Pre-Chorus
  Oh, sing it louder—let the walls crack wide!
  No more divisions, no more lines to divide.
  The night is fading, and the world will see…
  America rising, bold and unafraid to BE!

  Chorus
  Rise up, rise up, let the anthem roar—
  From every valley to the golden shore!
  The bells of freedom chime for you and me,
  When the light breaks through…
  And the bell rings FREE!

  Bridge
  “Not for the glory, but for those who stood tall,
  Who gave their all when the heavens would fall.
  The cost of freedom’s etched in every scar—
  But look! The morning’s here… and here we ARE!”

  Final Chorus
  RISE UP, RISE UP—let the TRUTH take flight!
  Through the darkest hour, we’ve reclaimed the light!
  The bells of freedom CHIME for you and me,
  When the soul takes wing…
  And the bell rings FREE!

  Outro
  When the bell rings free…

  Well, I packed my bags at the break of dawn,
  Got my old guitar and my favorite song,
  With a heart full of dreams and a wild-eyed smile,

• In the eye of the storm

  : 6

  In the eye of the storm, where silence takes hold,
  A paradox reigns, both fierce and bold.
  The winds howl and whip with a furious might,
  Yet here in the center, all’s tranquil and bright.

  Around me, the chaos—a tempest unleashed,
  Thunder crashes and rumbles, a primal feast.
  But here in this stillness, I breathe with the skies,
  As lightning dances, painting shadows that rise.

  The clouds swirl like dancers in a turbulent waltz,
  While the world outside trembles, its fate in the vaults.
  I watch as the raindrops, like diamonds, cascade,
  A symphony woven, a tempest parade.

  Time stretches and bends in this curious place,
  A moment of peace in the storm’s fierce embrace.
  I feel the raw power, the earth’s primal roar,
  Yet here in the eye, I crave nothing more.

  As the storm rages on, a wild, fervent song,
  I linger in stillness, where I somehow belong.
  For in chaos, there’s beauty, in fury, a grace,
  In the heart of the storm, I’ve found my own space.

  So let the winds howl, let the thunder resound,
  In the eye of the tempest, true solace is found.
  I’ll watch as it passes, this dance of the sky,
  For even in turmoil, I can learn how to fly.

• Fighting through

  : 18

  In a land where dreams once brightly soared,
  Two souls wander, weary, worn and ignored.
  Through endless streets where shadows loom,
  They face the storm of impending gloom.

  Politicians speak with silvered tongues,
  Promising hope, yet the heartstrings are strung.
  Taxes rise like tides in the night,
  Stealing their breath, their spirit, their light.

  With calloused hands and hearts of gold,
  They strive for warmth in a world grown cold.
  From dusk till dawn, they toil and bend,
  Chasing a dream that seems to never end.

  Yet, in their eyes, a flicker remains,
  A fire undimmed by struggle or chains.
  Together they stand, against the tide,
  Finding strength in the love they abide.

  Though powers above may scheme and plot,
  Their bond is a fortress that can’t be bought.
  In whispered words and shared embraces,
  They find solace in life’s harshest spaces.

  For when the world turns dark and gray,
  Their hope is the dawn of a brighter day.
  Two souls, unbroken, journeying on,
  In a land where dreams are never gone.

• Politicians counting money

  : 13

  Verse 1
  In the shadow of the city, where the broken dreams reside,
  Politicians counting money while the people fight to survive.
  They wear their suits like armor, but their hearts are made of stone,
  Taxing all our hopes away, leaving us a hollow home.

  Pre-Chorus
  We raise our fists to the sky,
  Screaming out, we won’t comply.

  Chorus
  Living in the land of lies, where the truth is buried deep,
  Corruption in their hungry eyes, while the honest hearts weep.
  We won’t let them tear us down, we’ll stand and fight for what is true,
  In this country we love, we’ll rise above, we’ll see it through.

  Verse 2
  Promises like poison, they seep into our veins,
  They build their castles high, while we’re shackled by their chains.
  They sell our future for a dime, and leave us in the dust,
  But we won’t bow, we won’t break, we’ve got fire in our guts.

  Pre-Chorus
  We raise our voices to the night,
  For justice, for what is right.

  Chorus
  Living in the land of lies, where the truth is buried deep,
  Corruption in their hungry eyes, while the honest hearts weep.
  We won’t let them tear us down, we’ll stand and fight for what is true,
  In this country we love, we’ll rise above, we’ll see it through.

  Bridge
  Burn the papers, break the chains,
  We’ll rewrite the rules, we’ll light the flames.
  For every soul that’s been betrayed,
  We’ll fight until the end of days.

  Corruption in their hungry eyes, while the honest hearts weep.
  We won’t let them tear us down, we’ll stand and fight for what is true,
  In this country we love, we’ll rise above, we’ll see it through.

  Outro
  In the ashes of their greed, a new dawn will arise,
  For the people, for our freedom, we’ll reclaim our skies.

• Take It Back

  : 15

  (Verse 1)

  We’ve been standin’ in the shadows, lost in the noise

  Forgotten by the leaders, left with no choice

  They sold us out for silver, left us in the dust

  But the power’s in the people, in the hands of us

  (Pre-Chorus)

  We’ve got a fire that you can’t tame

  A rebel spirit in our veins

  It’s time to rise, break the chains

  We’re taking back our names

  (Chorus)

  We’re gonna take it back, back to the streets

  Where every voice matters, every heart beats

  We’ll shake the ground, make a sound,

  For the lost and the found

  We’re taking back our pride, taking back control

  Hand in hand, every rock and roll soul

  This land, this fight, it’s time we unite

  We’re taking it back tonight

  (Verse 2)

  They tried to keep us quiet, they tried to keep us weak

  But there’s thunder in our voices every time we speak

  From the heartland to the city, across the red and blue

  We’re waking up the people, standing up for truth

  (Pre-Chorus)

  With our guitars like rifles, drums like thunder rolls

  The rhythm of rebellion pounding in our souls

  We’re a nation on a mission, rising like the dawn

  For every right they stole, for everyone gone

  (Chorus)

  We’re gonna take it back, back to the streets

  Where every voice matters, every heart beats

  We’ll shake the ground, make a sound,

  For the lost and the found

  We’re taking back our pride, taking back control

  Hand in hand, every rock and roll soul

  This land, this fight, it’s time we unite

  We’re taking it back tonight

  (Bridge)

  It’s not left, it’s not right, it’s about what’s true

  A country built by me, by her, by you

  Raise your hands, raise your voice, let ‘em hear the sound

  The people have awakened, we’re battleground bound

  (Chorus)

  We’re gonna take it back, back to the streets

  Where every voice matters, every heart beats

  We’ll shake the ground, make a sound,

  For the lost and the found

  We’re taking back our pride, taking back control

  Hand in hand, every rock and roll soul

  This land, this fight, it’s time we unite

  We’re taking it back tonight

  (Outro)

  Yeah, we’re taking it back

  No more lies, no more fear

  The power’s in the people, that’s crystal clear

  With the fire in our souls, and a flag held high

  We’re taking it back, till the day we die

  Hand in hand, we wander through the colors of the fall,

  In fields where courage met the dawn,
  They stood with hearts both brave and drawn.
  Through trials vast, on land and sea,
  They fought to keep our nation free.

  With steadfast eyes and steady hand,
  They ventured forth to foreign land.
  In sacrifice, they bore the cost,
  For every gain, for every loss.

  Their stories whispered through the years,
  A tapestry of hopes and fears.
  We honor them with grateful hearts,
  For in their valor, freedom starts.

  On this day of solemn grace,
  We see their strength in every face.
  To veterans, we owe our peace,
  In their service, our thanks increase.

  Let us remember, let us say,
  Their legacy will light the way.
  In gratitude, our voices raise,
  To those who’ve served, our endless praise.

• Veterans day poem

  : 14

  In fields of honor where courage lies,
  Beneath the vast and open skies,
  They stood for freedom, brave and true,
  With hearts of valor, red, white, and blue.

  Through battles fierce and nights so long,
  Their spirits steadfast, their will so strong,
  They marched with hope and dreams of peace,
  To see a world where wars would cease.

  For every sacrifice they’ve made,
  In silent tribute, we stand and pray,
  A legacy of strength and grace,
  In every veteran’s steadfast face.

  So let us honor, let us praise,
  The heroes of those distant days,
  With gratitude, our voices raise,
  To those who served, our endless praise

• Farmers life

  : 17

  Verse 1
  Well, I woke up this mornin’, roosters crowin’ loud,
  My coffee’s brewin’ strong, and man, I’m feelin’ proud.
  Got a pig named Wilbur, he thinks he’s a star,
  He rolls in the mud, says, “Life ain’t too hard!”

  Chorus
  Livin’ life on the farm, where the cows chew their gum,
  Chasin’ chickens in the yard, man, we’re havin’ fun.
  Got a tractor that won’t start, but hey, that’s just fine,
  We’ll just hitch up the old mule and take our sweet time!

  Verse 2
  The corn’s growin’ tall, like a green ocean wave,
  But the weeds are takin’ over, I need a little save.
  My wife says, “Honey, it’s time to make a plan,”
  But I’m busy laughin’ at that pig doin’ the can-can!

  Chorus
  Livin’ life on the farm, where the cows chew their gum,
  Chasin’ chickens in the yard, man, we’re havin’ fun.
  Got a tractor that won’t start, but hey, that’s just fine,
  We’ll just hitch up the old mule and take our sweet time!

  Bridge
  The sun sets low, paintin’ the sky,
  With my dog by my side, we’re watchin’ life fly.
  Neighbors rollin’ in with a pie and some beer,
  We’ll swap some tall tales, and then we’ll cheer!

  Verse 3
  Now the barn’s full of critters, and the hay’s piled high,
  I swear that old goat just winked at the sky.
  The harvest moon’s risin’, and the stars start to shine,
  Life’s a little crazy, but it’s perfectly fine!

  Chorus
  Livin’ life on the farm, where the cows chew their gum,
  Chasin’ chickens in the yard, man, we’re havin’ fun.
  Got a tractor that won’t start, but hey, that’s just fine,
  We’ll just hitch up the old mule and take our sweet time!

  Outro
  So here’s to the farmers and the life that we lead,
  With laughter and love, we’ve got all that we need.
  So raise up your glass, let’s toast to the charm,
  Here’s to livin’ it up, yeah, life on the farm!

• Life on the farm

  : 11

  (Verse 1)
  Well, I woke up this mornin’, roosters crowin’ loud,
  Got my coffee in my hand, I’m feelin’ kinda proud.
  The cows are in the pasture, munchin’ on their hay,
  And I’m just tryin’ to figure out how to make it through the day.

  (Chorus)
  Livin’ life on the farm, it’s a wild ol’ ride,
  Chasin’ chickens in my PJs, can’t keep ‘em inside.
  Got a pig named Wilbur who thinks he’s a dog,
  Life’s a little crazy, but I wouldn’t trade a hog!

  (Verse 2)
  I’m plantin’ all my seeds, hopin’ for a good crop,
  But the neighbor’s got a tractor that just won’t stop.
  He’s mowin’ down my flowers, thinkin’ he’s real slick,
  But I’ll show him who’s boss with my ol’ garden stick!

  (Chorus)
  Livin’ life on the farm, it’s a wild ol’ ride,
  Chasin’ chickens in my PJs, can’t keep ‘em inside.
  Got a pig named Wilbur who thinks he’s a dog,
  Life’s a little crazy, but I wouldn’t trade a hog!

  (Bridge)
  Now the goats are on the roof, thinkin’ they’re so cool,
  And the sheep are in the yard, makin’ me look like a fool.
  But when the sun sets low and the stars fill the sky,
  I wouldn’t trade this farm life, no matter how I try.

  (Chorus)
  Livin’ life on the farm, it’s a wild ol’ ride,
  Chasin’ chickens in my PJs, can’t keep ‘em inside.
  Got a pig named Wilbur who thinks he’s a dog,
  Life’s a little crazy, but I wouldn’t trade a hog!

  (Outro)
  So here’s to the farmers, with dirt on our hands,
  We’re singin’ to the moon, and we’re makin’ our plans.
  With a heart full of laughter and a field full of dreams,
  Livin’ life on the farm, oh, it’s better than it seems!

• Heartstrings in the Hurricane

  : 13

  (Verse 1)
  I rolled into Carolina, where the skies were painted gray,
  The winds of Helene whispered tales of yesterday.
  Saw the fields once golden, now covered in broken dreams,
  But the spirit of the South still shines through the seams.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, North Carolina, I feel your pain,
  Through the tears and the heartbreak, you stand in the rain.
  Tennessee, hold on, let your mountains be strong,
  We’ll rebuild together, where the heartstrings belong.

  (Verse 2)
  Down in Tennessee, where the rivers used to flow,
  The echoes of the storm left stories only the heart can know.
  The Smokies stand tall, like a beacon of hope,
  Through the storm’s fury, we’ll find a way to cope.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, North Carolina, I feel your pain,
  Through the tears and the heartbreak, you stand in the rain.
  Tennessee, hold on, let your mountains be strong,
  We’ll rebuild together, where the heartstrings belong.

  (Bridge)
  Neighbors helping neighbors, hand in hand we’ll rise,
  Through the rubble and the heartache, see the sun in our eyes.
  With love and determination, we’ll mend what’s torn,
  In the heart of the South, new dreams will be born.

  (Chorus)
  Oh, North Carolina, I feel your pain,
  Through the tears and the heartbreak, you stand in the rain.
  Tennessee, hold on, let your mountains be strong,
  We’ll rebuild together, where the heartstrings belong.

  (Outro)
  So here’s to the spirit that never backs down,
  In Carolina and Tennessee, love will surround.
  Through the storms and the trials, we sing this song,
  Together we’ll rise, where the heartstrings belong.

• After the Storm: A Lament for Helene

  : 20

  In the wake of Helene, where the waters rose high,
  Homes turned to ruins beneath a darkened sky.
  The winds howled a warning, yet silence prevailed,
  Promises whispered, but hope often failed.

  The streets now lie empty, once bustling with life,
  Families shattered, enduring the strife.
  Where are the leaders with plans strong and true?
  In the shadows they linger, while we’re lost in the blue.

  The shelters are crowded, the hearts heavy still,
  Yet the halls of decision seem void of goodwill.
  Pledges of aid turn to echoes in air,
  As the people grow weary, stripped bare of their care.

  The cries of the children, the elders in need,
  Are drowned by the chatter of those who concede.
  “Tomorrow,” they say, “we’ll rise from the pain,”
  But tomorrow feels distant, like a whisper in rain.

  Rebuilding is more than just wood and some nails,
  It’s hope in our hearts where compassion prevails.
  Yet the leaders who promised have vanished from sight,
  Leaving dreams in the rubble, consumed by the night.

  So here we stand, weary, but not without fight,
  For together we’ll rise, and we’ll claim back the light.
  Though the storm may have taken, it cannot erase,
  The strength of our spirit, our unyielding grace.

  Let us hold them accountable, let our voices be heard,
  For a nation reborn must be built on its word.
  In the shadows of Helene, we’ll forge a new way,
  For justice and healing, for brighter days.

  You’re the missing piece of me that makes me whole.

  Chorus
  You’re more than my everything, you’re the air that I breathe,
  You fill every corner of my heart, you’re all that I need.
  When my world feels heavy, you lift me high above,
  You’re my light in the shadows, you’re my endless love.

  Verse 2
  When the rain begins to fall, you paint the skies with gold,
  Turning stormy days to rainbows, stories yet untold.
  In your eyes, I find my peace, in your arms, I find my home,
  With you, I’m never lost, I’m never alone.

  Chorus
  You’re more than my everything, you’re the air that I breathe,
  You fill every corner of my heart, you’re all that I need.

  And when the night is cold, and the world feels so far,
  You’re the warmth that wraps around me, my guiding star.

  You’re the song in my heart, the smile on my face.

  Chorus
  You’re more than my everything, you’re the air that I breathe,
  You fill every corner of my heart, you’re all that I need.

  You’re more than my everything, more than words can say,

  With a system that’s got us trapped,
  Promises fade like a song,

• Against the odds

  : 10

  (Verse 1)
  I was born in a small town, dreams in my back pocket,
  They said the mountains were too high, but I had to unlock it.
  With every step, every fall, I learned to rise again,
  Chasing the horizon, through the storm and the rain.

  (Pre-Chorus)
  They said the path was rocky, that I wouldn’t make it far,
  But I kept my eyes on the prize, and I followed my star.

  (Chorus)
  Against the odds, I climbed to great heights,
  Sailed the seven seas, through the darkest nights.
  I won the lottery of life, with a heart full of fire,
  Dreams became reality, lifting me higher and higher.

  (Verse 2)
  I faced the raging oceans, with my compass in hand,
  Navigating through the chaos, finding strength to withstand.
  Every wave that tried to drown me, made me stronger still,
  I set my sails to freedom, powered by sheer will.

  (Pre-Chorus)
  They said the sea was treacherous, that I wouldn’t find my way,
  But I kept my course steady, and I seized the day.

  (Chorus)
  Against the odds, I climbed to great heights,
  Sailed the seven seas, through the darkest nights.
  I won the lottery of life, with a heart full of fire,
  Dreams became reality, lifting me higher and higher.

  Now I’m standing on the peak, with the world at my feet,
  Looking back at the journey, every trial was sweet.
  For every no and every doubt, I found a reason to believe,
  That nothing’s impossible, when you hold on to your dreams.

  (Chorus)
  Against the odds, I climbed to great heights,
  Sailed the seven seas, through the darkest nights.
  I won the lottery of life, with a heart full of fire,
  Dreams became reality, lifting me higher and higher.

  (Outro)
  So here’s to the fighters, the dreamers and the brave,
  To those who never give up, and ride every wave.
  Against the odds, we rise, with the stars in our eyes,
  Winning the lottery of life, touching the skies.

• Sunny days

  : 14

  (Verse 1)
  Well, the sun’s hangin’ high in that big ol’ sky,
  Not a cloud to be seen, it’s just you and I.
  Got a blanket on the grass, and a bottle of wine,
  Spendin’ these sunny days, feelin’ mighty fine.

  (Chorus)
  Sunny days and clear, cloudless nights,
  Holdin’ you close, everything feels right.
  Stars are shinin’, moon’s so bright,
  With my lovely lady, life’s a sweet delight.

  (Verse 2)
  We’re dancin’ in the daylight, laughin’ in the breeze,
  Barefoot on the riverbank, beneath the willow trees.
  Your hand in mine, hearts intertwined,
  Every moment with you, I’m glad you’re mine.

  (Chorus)
  Sunny days and clear, cloudless nights,
  Holdin’ you close, everything feels right.
  Stars are shinin’, moon’s so bright,
  With my lovely lady, life’s a sweet delight.

  (Bridge)
  As the sun sets low, paints the sky in gold,
  Whispered love and secrets, stories untold.
  Fireflies are dancin’, in the summer air,
  With you by my side, I haven’t got a care.

  (Chorus)
  Sunny days and clear, cloudless nights,
  Holdin’ you close, everything feels right.
  Stars are shinin’, moon’s so bright,
  With my lovely lady, life’s a sweet delight.

  (Outro)
  So here’s to these moments, here’s to our love,
  Underneath the heavens, the stars above.
  With every sunrise, and each twilight,
  I’ll cherish these sunny days, and clear, cloudless nights.

• Wanderin’

  : 15

  (Verse 1)
  With a beat-up old guitar strapped ‘cross my back,
  We’re wanderin’ through the woods where the trail goes slack,
  The mountains rise up, kissin’ the sky,
  Hand in hand with you, my love, we’ll get by.

  (Chorus)
  We’re wanderin’ through the woods, through the mountains high,
  By brookline streams where the waters sigh,
  Travelin’ through meadows, hopin’ over rocks,
  Crossin’ rapids, hearts unlocked,
  With the love of my life by my side.

  (Verse 2)
  Morning dew on our boots, the sun’s first light,
  Your laugh echoes like a song in the quiet night,
  In the heart of the forest, where the wild things roam,
  With you, my darlin’, I’m always home.

  (Chorus)
  We’re wanderin’ through the woods, through the mountains high,
  By brookline streams where the waters sigh,
  Travelin’ through meadows, hopin’ over rocks,
  Crossin’ rapids, hearts unlocked,
  With the love of my life by my side.

  (Bridge)
  Every step we take, every breath we breathe,
  Nature’s our witness to the love we weave,
  The stars above, the earth below,
  With you, my love, there’s nowhere else I’d go.

  (Verse 3)
  When the night draws close, and the fire’s bright,
  We’ll lay under the heavens, hold each other tight,
  The journey’s long but with you it’s sweet,
  Every moment, every mile, makes our love complete.

  (Chorus)
  We’re wanderin’ through the woods, through the mountains high,
  By brookline streams where the waters sigh,
  Travelin’ through meadows, hopin’ over rocks,
  Crossin’ rapids, hearts unlocked,
  With the love of my life by my side.

  (Outro)
  So let’s keep wanderin’, let the world spin ’round,
  In this paradise of ours, love’s the only sound,
  Through woods and mountains, streams and skies,
  Forever and always, with you by my side.

• Boy Scouts camp

  : 22

  (Verse 1)
  In the heart of the forest, where the tall trees stand,
  Two young boys set out with their scout troop band.
  Pitched their tent under the starlit sky,
  With a spirit of adventure, their hearts soared high.

  (Chorus)
  Camping and swimming, in the Boy Scouts camp,
  Brotherhood and friendship, like a glowing lamp.
  Exploring the wonders of nature all around,
  In this haven of peace, joy truly found.

  (Verse 2)
  Woke up to the birdsong at the break of dawn,
  On the edge of the lake, where the mist was drawn.
  Grabbed their gear, headed down the trail,
  To the crystal waters, where dreams set sail.

  (Chorus)
  Camping and swimming, in the Boy Scouts camp,
  Brotherhood and friendship, like a glowing lamp.
  Exploring the wonders of nature all around,
  In this haven of peace, joy truly found.

  (Bridge)
  With laughter and stories by the campfire light,
  Underneath the vast expanse of the starry night.
  Memories made that will forever last,
  In the bond of friendship, present and past.

  (Chorus)
  Camping and swimming, in the Boy Scouts camp,
  Brotherhood and friendship, like a glowing lamp.
  Exploring the wonders of nature all around,
  In this haven of peace, joy truly found.

  (Outro)
  As the fire crackles low and the night grows still,
  In the Boy Scouts camp, time seems to stand still.
  Two young boys, in this moment so grand,
  United in nature, hand in hand.

• By the Campfire’s Glow

  : 21

  (Verse 1)
  We packed up the truck, headed down that old dirt road,
  Got the cooler full of beer, and the tent all stowed.
  Found a little spot where the sand meets the sea,
  Just you and me, babe, that’s where we wanna be.

  (Chorus)
  With the waves rollin’ in, and the stars hangin’ low,
  By the campfire’s glow, oh, our love starts to show.
  We’ll dance in the moonlight, till the embers fade slow,
  Holdin’ you tight, by the campfire’s glow.

  (Verse 2)
  The sun’s settin’ down, paintin’ gold across the sky,
  We got the radio playin’, your favorite lullaby.
  You’re wrapped in my arms, and time just melts away,
  In this little beach paradise, we’ll forever stay.

  (Chorus)
  With the waves rollin’ in, and the stars hangin’ low,
  By the campfire’s glow, oh, our love starts to show.
  We’ll dance in the moonlight, till the embers fade slow,
  Holdin’ you tight, by the campfire’s glow.

  (Bridge)
  The crackle of the fire, and the whisper of the breeze,
  Every moment here, puts my heart at ease.
  There’s nowhere else I’d rather be tonight,
  Than right here with you, in this perfect light.

  (Chorus)
  With the waves rollin’ in, and the stars hangin’ low,
  By the campfire’s glow, oh, our love starts to show.
  We’ll dance in the moonlight, till the embers fade slow,
  Holdin’ you tight, by the campfire’s glow.

  (Outro)
  So let’s make a memory, we’ll never let go,
  In the warmth of the fire, and the ocean’s soft flow.
  Just you and me, babe, with a love that will grow,
  By the campfire’s glow, by the campfire’s glow.

• Memorial Day Poem

  : 18

  In fields of green where poppies sway,
  We pause to honor on this day,
  With hearts of reverence, heads bowed low,
  For those who fell, whom we’ll never know.

  Beneath the sky, so vast and blue,
  Lie heroes brave, steadfast, and true,
  Their sacrifice a solemn gift,
  Their spirits in our hearts uplift.

  The bugle’s call, a mournful sound,
  Echoes o’er the hallowed ground,
  White crosses stand in solemn rows,
  Marking where our valor grows.

  From distant shores to homeland’s breast,
  They gave their all, they gave their best,
  In freedom’s name, they faced the fight,
  And journeyed to eternal light.

  We gather now, in quiet grace,
  To honor each beloved face,
  To tell the tales, to speak the names,
  Of those enshrined in freedom’s flames.

  With flags unfurled and flowers laid,
  Their legacy will never fade,
  For every dawn that lights the way,
  We live the gift they gave that day.

  So as the sun dips low and fades,
  We walk among the quiet glades,
  In silent tribute, hearts full and pure,
  Their memory, our lives ensure.

  On Memorial Day, we stand as one,
  In gratitude for battles won,
  For every soul who paid the price,
  We vow to cherish their sacrifice.

• High-School Baseball

  : 27

  (Verse 1)
  In a small town under Friday night lights,
  Where dreams come alive under starry skies,
  A group of young boys with fire in their eyes,
  Chasing a dream that’s just the right size.

  (Pre-Chorus)
  They’ve trained and they’ve bled,
  They’ve fought and they’ve led,
  Through sweat and through tears,
  They’ve conquered their fears.

  (Chorus)
  On the fields of glory, they stand tall,
  A high-school baseball team giving their all,
  Through the highs and the lows, they never fall,
  Now they’re bound for the state championship ball.

  (Verse 2)
  From early morning practices to late-night games,
  They’ve worked as a team, they’ve faced all the claims,
  Their bonds are strong like the seams on a ball,
  Together they’ve risen, they’ve answered the call.

  (Pre-Chorus)
  They’ve sacrificed and they’ve grown,
  Their passion for victory shown,
  Through every pitch and every swing,
  They’ve found the heart to win.

  (Chorus)
  On the fields of glory, they stand tall,
  A high-school baseball team giving their all,
  Through the highs and the lows, they never fall,
  Now they’re bound for the state championship ball.

  (Bridge)
  In the final inning, with the crowd on their feet,
  The bases are loaded, victory’s so sweet,
  The pitcher winds up, the batter stands strong,
  A crack of the bat and they know they belong.

  (Chorus)
  On the fields of glory, they stand tall,
  A high-school baseball team giving their all,
  Through the highs and the lows, they never fall,
  Now they’re champions, winners of it all.

  (Outro)
  In a small town under Friday night lights,
  Their names will be etched in the stars tonight,
  A high-school baseball team with hearts so bright,
  Forever remembered for their championship flight.

• Hard-working man

  : 19

  (Verse 1)

  I wake up before the sun, before the world’s awake,

  Pouring coffee down my throat, another day to take,

  Got bills to pay, mouths to feed, a family to keep,

  But it’s hard to find the time for the ones I love to meet.

  (Chorus)

  I’m a hard-working man, with calloused hands,

  80 hours a week, it’s all part of the plan,

  Missing my wife’s hugs, her sweet kisses too,

  But I’ll keep on grinding, for our dreams to come true.

  (Verse 2)

  The factory’s loud, the hours are long,

  But I’ll keep pushing through, staying strong,

  I see my wife’s face in every machine’s hum,

  Her love’s my motivation, my beating drum.

  (Chorus)

  I’m a hard-working man, with calloused hands,

  80 hours a week, it’s all part of the plan,

  Missing my wife’s hugs, her sweet kisses too,

  But I’ll keep on grinding, for our dreams to come true.

  (Bridge)

  Sometimes I wonder if it’s all worth the sacrifice,

  But I know deep down, it’ll all be nice,

  For every late night, every missed embrace,

  I’ll make it up to her, put a smile on her face.

  (Chorus)

  I’m a hard-working man, with calloused hands,

  80 hours a week, it’s all part of the plan,

  Missing my wife’s hugs, her sweet kisses too,

  But I’ll keep on grinding, for our dreams to come true.

  (Outro)

  So here’s to the hard-working men out there,

  Juggling work and love with so much care,

  I’ll keep on going, giving it my all,

  For the day I can finally answer my wife’s call.

• Country I Once New

  : 8

  (Verse 1)

  He was just a young boy, dreamin’ of the stars and stripes

  With a heart full of honor, ready to stand and fight

  He signed up for duty, to defend the land of the free

  But little did he know, what his eyes would soon see

  (Chorus)

  He grew up fighting for his country, with pride in his heart

  But now he sees America torn apart

  The very things he fought against, are creeping in so near

  He wonders if his sacrifice was in vain, with a tear

  (Verse 2)

  He saw the flag wave high, as he marched into the fray

  Through battles and struggles, he never lost his way

  But now the streets are filled with anger and with hate

  And he wonders if it’s too late to change this fate

  (Chorus)

  He grew up fighting for his country, with pride in his heart

  But now he sees America torn apart

  The very things he fought against, are creeping in so near

  He wonders if his sacrifice was in vain, with a tear

  (Bridge)

  He remembers the camaraderie, the brotherhood so strong

  But now it seems like unity is gone

  He longs for the days when the nation stood as one

  And prays for a new dawn, when the fighting is done

  (Chorus)

  He grew up fighting for his country, with pride in his heart

  But now he sees America torn apart

  The very things he fought against, are creeping in so near

  He wonders if his sacrifice was in vain, with a tear

  As he looks out at the land he loves, with a heavy heart

  He holds onto hope, that a new chapter will start

  For a man who grew up fighting for his country so dear

  Praying for peace and unity, to make things clear.

• Country I Fight For

  : 11

  (Verse 1)

  He was just a young boy, with stars and stripes in his eyes

  Dreaming of serving his country, reaching for the skies

  Proudly he enlisted, eager to defend with might

  Little did he know, of the darkness he’d soon fight

  (Verse 2)

  Through trials and tribulations, he stood tall and brave

  On foreign lands he fought, his country to save

  But as the years went by, a change began to show

  The ideals he held dear, were starting to lose their glow

  (Chorus)

  He grew up fighting for his country, with pride in his heart

  But now he sees America torn apart

  The values he defended, now seem to disappear

  He wonders if his sacrifices were made in vain, with a tear

  (Verse 3)

  He witnessed the unity, the strength of a nation

  But now division and discord cloud his observation

  The echoes of battles fought still ring in his ears

  Yet the battles within seem to stoke his fears

  (Bridge)

  Memories of comrades lost and victories won

  Now mingle with doubts of what can be done

  He longs for a return to the land he once knew

  Where freedom and justice rang ever true

  (Chorus)

  He grew up fighting for his country, with pride in his heart

  But now he sees America torn apart

  The values he defended, now seem to disappear

  He wonders if his sacrifices were made in vain, with a tear

  (Verse 4)

  As he gazes at the flag, a symbol of his past

  He wonders if the ideals will forever last

  A man who fought for freedom, now fights a different fight

  Hoping for a brighter future, in the darkness of the night

  (Outro)

  For the man who grew up fighting, for the country he holds dear

  May hope and unity prevail, erasing all fear

  In the face of adversity, may his spirit soar

  For America, the land he loves, forevermore.

• Green Chevy Nova

  : 15

  (Verse 1) Down in the holler where the stars shine bright, Two boys revvin’ engines on a moonlit night. In a green Chevy Nova, they hit the gas, Chasin’ dreams, leavin’ dust in their past.

  (Chorus) Racin’ down those back country roads, Where the cornfields whisper secrets untold. Two young hearts, wild and free, In a green Chevy Nova, they’ll always be.

  (Verse 2) Windows down, music loud, they don’t care, Just two boys livin’ life without a care. Through the twists and turns, they find their way, Bound by friendship, come what may.

  (Chorus) Racin’ down those back country roads, Where the cornfields whisper secrets untold. Two young hearts, wild and free, In a green Chevy Nova, they’ll always be.

  (Bridge) They’re rebels with a cause, nothin’ to lose, Chasin’ the sunset in worn-out shoes. With every mile, they feel alive, In that green Chevy Nova, they thrive.

  (Chorus) Racin’ down those back country roads, Where the cornfields whisper secrets untold. Two young hearts, wild and free, In a green Chevy Nova, they’ll always be.

  (Outro) So if you see ’em flyin’, just let ’em go, In that green Chevy Nova, their dreams will grow. Through the back country roads, they’ll roam, Forever young, far from home.

  (Chorus) We’ll be rocking and rolling, under the moonlit sky, Country music playing, with my baby by my side. With the stars up above, and the fire down below, We’ll be rocking and rolling, letting our love flow.

  (Verse 2) Out where the whiskey flows and the guitars strum, We’ll dance all night until the morning comes. With her hand in mine, and her eyes so bright, We’ll two-step through the night, under the neon lights.

• Buying our Dreams

  : 15

  Verse 1) In the heartland, fields once golden, Now the story’s swiftly unfoldin’, China’s whispers in the night, Buying up our dreams in broad daylight.

  Factories hum to a foreign tune, As dollars vanish with the moon, Promises made, promises kept, But at what price, are we adept?

  (Chorus) China’s hands grip tight, Buying up our day and night, Companies, factories, and farm lands too, In this game, who’ll pay the due?

  (Verse 2) The auctioneer’s gavel falls, As our legacy, they slowly haul, Boardrooms echo with Mandarin, As we wonder where it all began.

  Fertile soil beneath their feet, Trading futures, our heartbeat, The land that once was ours to till, Now measured in dollars, the price, the bill.

  (Chorus) China’s hands grip tight, Buying up our day and night, Companies, factories, and farm lands too, In this game, who’ll pay the due?

  (Bridge) From coast to coast, the whispers spread, Of a nation’s future, cloaked in red, But in the heartland, beneath the sky, A voice rises, asking why.

  (Verse 3) For every dollar, what’s the cost? As our independence becomes lost, In the ledger of global trade, Is there a balance, yet to be made?

  With every deal, a piece is sold, But the story’s not yet fully told, For in the land of the brave and free, Hope still blooms like a prairie sea.

  (Chorus) China’s hands grip tight, Buying up our day and night, Companies, factories, and farm lands too, But in the end, what will we do?

  (Outro) So let the song ring out tonight, Of the struggles, the losses, the fight, For in the land of the free, the brave, We’ll stand together, strong and saved.
