Best Damned Breakup Song

by David Snyder

V1

I want to thank you
for all the times you passed out
in my yard
and threw up on my truck
I want thank you for everything you did
that made my life so hard
and being the queen of bad luck
and when you slept with my friend
you helped me see the end
it was the only thing you did right
cause you finally made me go to church
where I got down on my knees
and begged Jesus
to help me see the light

CH

And now
I see you did nothing
you did nothing wrong
cause I found a girl who's nothing like you
she's sweet, and pretty and strong
She drinks apple juice, and runs a yoga group
and I'm right where I belong
But the best thing is the new gold record you gave me
and girl you know it's dedicated to you
and I hope one day you'll sing along
yeah I hope one day you’ll sing along
and I call it
yeah I call it
My best damned breakup song 

V2
 
I want to thank you
for all the times you lied 
right into my eyes
and ripped a hole right through my heart
I want to thank you for everything you stole
that made me fall apart
but that Grammy, girl, is gonna heal my broken heart

Bridge

And I got sick with you
But I know that I can beat it
and when I cross that bridge you know
I must repeat it

CH

Oh, cause now I know that you did nothing
you did nothing wrong
Cause I found a girl who's nothing like you
she's sweet, and pretty and strong
She drinks apple juice, and runs a yoga group
and I'm right where I belong
But the best thing is the new gold record you gave me
and girl I know it's dedicated to you
and I hope one day you'll sing along
yeah I hope one day you’ll sing along
and I call it
yeah I call it
My best damned breakup song 
And it’s written just for you

BEST DAMNED BREAKUP SONG

This Old Town
Words and Music By

Tonight, I'm back here in this old town
The place I left behind years ago
So much has changed it's just not the same
It holds memories that won't let me go
If I could just go back in time for one more try
Maybe I'd do things right this time
Those old days are gone 
Like a leaf blown with the wind

Every night in my dreams 
I’m living those days of old
You’re still in my heart
You're still in my soul
The way that I feel now nobody knows
Those days are gone and 
I'm left here alone
Why do I come back here
To this old town

I remember the day I had to say goodbye
Everyone was moving on with their lives
It's regret that always brings me here
Although I try these feelings I can't hide
It's only in my dreams I feel you are near
That's why I came back here to this town
You never appear 
But your memory is always clear

Every night in my dreams 
I’m living those days of old
You’re still in my heart
Oh you're still in my soul
The way that I feel now nobody knows
Those days are gone and 
I'm left here alone
Why do I come back here
To this old town

Old friends have passed on
Some still remain
I hope they're living out their dreams
And your dreams haven't changed
Often I wonder
Do you ever think of me

Every night in my dreams 
I’m living those days of old
You’re still in my heart
Oh you're still in my soul
The way that I feel nobody knows
Those days are gone
Now I'm left here alone
Why do I come back 
Here to this old town

What I lost can't be found in any other town
Someone like you will never come around
I'm walking through the memories of this old town
One day I'll come back here and they will lay me down
Down in the ground
Here in this old town

This Old Town

V1
How many times have I been told not to leave
Guess I need to find a long bridge to burn
Wanna see glowing embers in my rear view mirror 
You’ve shoved me past the point of no return

Chorus
I think I could make a profession out of revenge
But folks say it’s best served as a cold plate
So I need a little distance, I need a little time
Your days coming but it may be a long wait

V2
I’m not going to worry if my past defines me
In a few minutes I can leave where I lived my whole life
No more you  no more them  only me and the horizon
Any direction will carry me away from the strife 

Chorus

Cold Plate

TATTOOED

i've got to admit i'm slowing down
i might not be as astute as i once was
i might forget some silly stuff
anniversaries and such
and give you answers i make up, just because
but ask me if i love you
i know that one cold
you're written into my very being
tattooed on my heart and soul

don't ask me if this world's gonna make it
or if any of us really have a chance
call me clueless, i've got no answers
unless, of course, you're asking for a dance
ask me if i love you
i know that one cold
you're written into my very being
tattooed on my heart and soul

ask me if i love you
i know that one cold
you're written in the fabric of my being
tattooed on my heart and soul
written in the fabric of my being
tattooed on my heart and soul

Tattooed

Some say when we all die
When we've lived out our last day
That there's no hope when we're gone
That we just all fade away

I have hope beyond the grave
I know there will come a day
When I'll walk through Heaven's door
I have a reason to believe
A reason to believe
You died to set me free
You rose on the third day
I have a hope
Hope beyond the grave

Lord when you walked on this earth
You were seen by the 
Those who heard and wrote your words
And they are words that bring life
Giving us hope and peace of mind

I have hope beyond the grave
I know there will come a day
When I'll walk through Heaven's door
I have a reason to believe
A reason to believe
You died to set me free
You rose on the third day
I have a hope
Hope beyond the grave

If I die tomorrow I've only begun to live
Time has lost its grip on me since I was born again

I have hope beyond the grave
I know there will come a day
When I'll walk through Heaven's door
I have a reason to believe
A reason to believe
You died to set me free
You rose on the third day
I have a hope
Hope beyond the grave

So, for Easter, I thought I would not write a song about anyone else's shortcomings, but a song about my own.

JESUS KICK MY ASS

By David Snyder

V1

Sometimes  I say some things 
I  can't believe 
And I’m rude as hell 
Wear it on my sleeve 
I go off half cocked 
And run my mouth  too much 
And my friends all leave and say 
I'm out of touch 

(Pre-Chorus)

Then I turn on some country radio 
And it tells me everything I need to know 

(Chorus)

I don't need a shrink 
I don’t need no therapy
And I don't need  to think
Any more about me 
And  I don't need to take
An anger management class 
No  I just need Jesus 
To kick my ass 
Yeah I say Jesus
Jesus kick my  ass

V2

I get tangled up in pride 
And start cuttin’ off my nose
Acting out of fear
And hurt the ones I love the most

(Pre-Chorus)

Then I turn on some country radio 
And it tells me everything I need to know 

(Chorus)

I don't need a shrink 
I don’t need no therapy
And I don't need  to think
Any more about me 
And  I don't need to take
An anger management class 
No  I just need Jesus 
To kick my ass 
Yeah I say Jesus
Jesus kick my  ass

(Bridge)

I'm tired  of walking
On this broken glass
So I surrender up this flesh
And the things I can’t get past 

(Chorus)

Oh, I don't need a shrink 
I don’t need no therapy
And I don't need to think
Any more about me 
And  I don't need to take
An anger management class 
No  I just need Jesus 
To kick my ass 
Yeah I say Jesus
Jesus kick my  ass

JESUS KICK MY ASS

THE GREATEST SONG

By David and Gayle Snyder


V1

Wish I could be a Leprechaun
Or just a fairy queen
So I could sing
All of the truth
That is inside of me
I wish that I could spread my wings
Fly over fjords and streams
And finally find my magic place
I will at last be free


(Chorus)

And sing the song of hope and joy
That I was meant to sing
With every voice inside of me
Just longing to be Free
And someday you'll see me on TV
And they will be clapping
And showing love to me
And showing love to me!

(Verse 2)

Wish I could ride a mighty steed
Over river beds and seas
I would name that horse Pegasus
A wonder to be seen!
Most people just want something
But not me!
I want to be a King
Be a King!!! 


(Chorus)

And sing the song of hope and joy
That I was meant to sing
With every voice inside of me
Just longing to be Free
And someday you'll see me on TV
And they will be clapping
And showing love to me
And showing love to me!

(Is she singing Icelandic???)

THE GREATEST SONG

I’m looking for time
I’m searching for words
I don’t need an extension
No payment deferred
If I have ignored you
It never occurred
If I have ignored you 
That would be absurd

You don’t need a reminder
I’m not here to confer
You don’t need to find me
I’m not part of the herd
I don’t need a sweetheart
The nights are a blur
I don’t need a sweetheart
So shake but don’t stir

There’s no reason for shame
There is no rewind
Push the fast forward
We’re losing the time
We’re wasting our fortune
That love can compound
I know you can spend it
Cleanse our battleground

I’d be down for the count
I’d be slurring my rhymes
They couldn’t revive me
I’d be out of my prime
If I can’t hear your sweet sound
Those soft bluebird chimes
I’m looking for hours 
I’m looking for time

I’m looking for daylight
I’m looking for time
I’m looking for hours
I’m looking for time
I’m looking for moments
I’m looking for time
I’m looking for hours 
I’m looking for time

Looking For Time

Rock ballad this time up from Chris and me.

Take it Slow (2018, Dave Bell)

V1:
You stand alone with your back to the wall and you think that no one cares
You have the weight of the world on your shoulders and your life, it goes nowhere

Chorus:
But don't you know
There are times you have to take it slow

V2:
Thinking back, the times were good, how did things go so wrong
So much water under the bridge, makes it hard to sing your song

Chorus X2 

V3:
Try and try, taking your time, taking one day at a time
Step by step, and one by one you will find the perfect rhyme
