Sunshine High 
(Adam Byrd/Alexsi Mallory)

V1
Last winter felt more like a 9 to 5
Can’t wait to get back out there and start bein’ alive
Yeah everyone’s done waiting everywhere 
And tired of cold wind blowin’ 
It’s time we all get goin’ somewhere…

Chorus 
With a boat out on the lake or a Coleman grill
Full of brats and steak
Lounging at the pool, watching as the clouds roll by
Inner tube or folding chair
It can happen almost anywhere
Kick back and let the summer be your guide
To a sunshine high
A sunshine high

V2
No this fix ain’t drink or drug induced
But it’s just as good as a double shot of 80 proof
A natural buzz to chase the gray away
Brighter days are just beginning 
It’s time we all start spending some time…

Repeat Chorus

Bridge 
Those warm rays keep washing over me
There’s no place that I would rather be (than…)

Chorus 
With a boat out on the lake or a Coleman grill
Full of brats and steak
Lounging at the pool, watching as the clouds roll by
Inner tube or folding chair
It can happen almost anywhere
Kick back and let the summer be your guide
To a sunshine high
A sunshine high
A sunshine high

Sunshine High (Adam Byrd/Alexsi Mallory)

Like You Do

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear, while I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you could only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all some day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me and love another
You have shattered all of my dreams

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

You Are My Sunshine

Daycation
Written by Kevin Curry and Carin Fradin

V1
Been stressed out, now I’m thinkin about
Where I could go so I could take a little break
Put my feet up, do something that I love
I think I know the perfect place
I can stay here and get away

Chorus
I might recline with a bottle of wine  
And get a binge-watching buzz on
I could lean back in the sweet sunshine
Drinkin margaritas on the lawn
Maybe just relax in a hot bubble bath
With a romance novel, and cold beer can 
I'm escaping all my aggravations
Gonna take me a daycation 

V2
I'm takin time for me, I'm playin hooky
Got no place to be, I’m sleepin in
Skip the laundry, get delivery
Lay around in my pajama pants
Being lazy's all I got planned

Chorus

Bridge
Don't need a reservation
No fancy destination
I'll be home luxoriatin

Chorus

DAYCATION (Curry/Fradin)

Ghost on the Radio

I’ll Find Me
writers:
Carey Latham, Tery Wayne Wilkins

V1
Like a roller coaster
Life moves so fast
Barely even take it in
For it flies right passed
I just keep movin’
Fallin' behind 
Losin’ who I am
A little at a time

Ch
I need a road trip 
Before I disappear 
A shot of blue sky
A breath of fresh air
Let the wheels turn
Go take a chance and see
Maybe out on that highway
I’ll find me

V2
Nothing in the backseat
Cause what I need
Can’t be packed up in a suitcase
It’s out runnin' free
I'll know when I see it 
Like an old friend
A cold one goin' down
That feelin' whole again

Ch
I need a road trip 
Before I disappear 
A shot of blue sky
A breath of fresh air
Let the wheels turn
Go take a chance and see
Maybe out on that highway
I’ll find me

bridge
Might be on a mountain
Maybe on a beach
Maybe on a detour
through Colorado springs
I gotta go see

Ch
I need a road trip 
Before I disappear 
A shot of blue sky
A breath of fresh air
Let the wheels turn
Go take a chance and see
Maybe out on that highway
I’ll find me
Oh out there somewhere 
I'll find me

Bridge 2
I'll know when I see it 

Like an old lost friend

A cold one goin' down

That feelin' whole again

Repeat Chorus***

I'll Find Me

KINGS AND QUEENS (MIX 2 short)

Road to Heaven
By Carin Fradin and Jennie Larsen
Demo by Blue Amsterdam

Another sermon, making me feel less than perfect
Back row pew on a Sunday afternoon 
Trying to make sense of all these rules
Trying my best but am I a fool to believe
I can do this

CHORUS
There ain’t no question, I got good intentions
But life gets in the way
Some bad decisions, give in to inhibitions
Yeah we all got a little sinner in our saint
Hope it ain’t too late, for a bit of saving grace
‘Cause God knows my road to heaven ain’t straight

All around me, people got a million secrets
Who am I to judge what I can’t see
We all could use a hand sometimes
A second chance to get it right
Again, mmm
Because,

	CHORUS

Yeah there’s gonna be some crazy curves, twists and turns, 
But I’m just hoping only the rubber burns, 
Yeah only the rubber burns 

	CHORUS

ROAD TO HEAVEN

Picture Perfect to Me
Writer: Brock Latham
 
Two people on a journey, met up in Music city 
One chasin’ Indiana dreams, one runnin’ from Georgia memories
Who’d a thought they’d find the peace they’d need
In the middle of Tennessee 

That’s picture perfect to me…

With Merle and Elvis mixed with his, God given talent
He snagged a gig on Toostie’s stage, singing all the late night hours
She wrote him a song, he bought her a ring
Soon they had 2 mini me’s

That’s picture perfect to me

Through the crazy times and the crazy rhymes
They stuck together day and night
Neath the skies over Tennessee, grew a family  
Picture perfect to me…

Baseball, football, Sunday worshiping, helping us be all we could be
Roll tide Roll on everything, Saturday’s hatin’ a big orange T
Murfreesboro memories 

That’s picture perfect to me 

Through the crazy times and the crazy rhymes
We stuck together day and night
Neath the skies over Tennessee grew a family  
Picture perfect to me…

Repeat ch

Son Go big, that’s daddy’s shows
Never too late, yeah Mama knows
Two people teachin’ me the ropes

Through the crazy times and the crazy rhymes
We stick together day and night
Neath the skies over Tennesse 
God gave me a family  
Picture perfect to me…

Picture Perfect To Me (Brock Latham)

Oh hey there, you again, you follow me around
Didn’t like ya much in high school, but I sure like you now
And I know it wasn’t easy, breakin’ up with her
That story you told me, I remember every word
It’s like when you start talkin’, I lose myself in you
Maybe you don’t see it, maybe you do…

Can I kiss ya, baby? Can I kiss ya first?
Can’t wait another second, I’m all yours
You won’t know what hit ya, it’s a good kinda hurt
Tell me, boy, can I kiss ya first? Can I kiss ya first?

We’ve been friends forever, what if you don’t feel the same
I don’t wanna mess this up, there’s no stoppin' this train
I’m fallin’, you’re smilin’, nah, you don’t seem to mind 
Should we call it a night now, or should we cross that line
It’s like when you start talkin’, I lose myself in you
Maybe you don’t see it, maybe you do…

REPEAT CHORUS

Road trips, concert tickets, late nights at the lake
It’s like we’ve been together all along
Your eyes say I’m right, I’m comin’ in strong

REPEAT CHORUS

Closer and closer, over and over...
