Holiday Cheer...

Lyrics...



[PreChorus]

Christmas time on Larkspur, and the neighbors just gather round...

Fire side with our good friends, and happy times abound. 

We celebrate the baby Jesus and good fortunes we have found...


Christmas time on Larkspur... as the holiday season love surrounds

Ooohhh yaaa, ya ya. 


[Verse1]

Let's all gather up some holly, and make a Christmas wreath... someone... get the mulled wine and 

We'll light up the Christmas tree...


[Verse2]

 Decorations of the season will hang from every door... we'll all get the food out and in the glasses the wine will pour.


[Chorus2]

Christmas time on Larkspur, and the neighbors just gather round...

Fire side with our good friends, and happy times abound. 

We celebrate the baby Jesus and good fortunes we have found...


Christmas time on Larkspur... as the holiday season love surrounds

Ooohhh yaaa, ya ya ya...


[Lead Guitar1]


[Verse3]

As we decorate our friendship tree while we are gathered round... we all share our stories of joy that we have found...


We all love the baby Jesus and the joy that he brings... this life is about loving your family and your friends... 


[Chorus3]

Christmas time on Larkspur, and the neighbors just gather round...

Fire side with our good friends, and happy times abound. 

We celebrate the baby Jesus and good fortunes we have found...


Christmas time on Larkspur... as the holiday season love surrounds

Ooohhh yaaa, ya ya.





Christmas time on larkspur

[Chorus1]
I feel happy, I feel pain, I love the sunshine but also the rain... I've lived through the storms... and sweated out the hottest days... just to get to where I stand today...

[Verse1]
Why is, everything I do about you in your mind... 
Why do my feelings, my thoughts my emotions seem to all point at you who who woo woo...

[Verse2] 
I had a different life before you... my feelings, my thoughts, my emotions belong to meeee... and they help set me free...
Could it be I'm just moving through emotions that I've had my whole life...

[Verse3]
Not everything I do is seeded in you... please let it go and let it be... without the thought that everything I do is all about you... when it's really all about me... my life, my emotions,  my feelings and all thats made me the person that I am...


[Chorus2] 
I feel happy, I feel pain, I love the sunshine but also the rain... I've lived through the storms... and sweated out the hottest days... 

 just to get to where I stand today...

So please share with me your wisdom  on what I can do for you... when it's my life I'm living... it's my life to own...

I want to watch you breathe... I want to see your chest rise... eyes closed laying in the calm of the night... I want to know you feel safe... I  want to taste your lips... I want to look into those eyes of yours for hours...


[Verse1] 

Something happened when the moon came up that night... I just have to be real with you and tell you, you have touched me deep inside in ways that I can not explain... I'm not trying to fight this off... it's so damn comforting to my soul... 


[Verse2] 

I think you feel what I do... and I know it's not easy for you... we've been given a chance at a beautiful time and I am here to ride this line. It's another page in our book of life. Turn the page into a new chapter...


[Chorus1] 

I want to watch you breathe... I want to see your chest rise... eyes closed laying in the calm of the night... I want to know you feel safe... I  want to taste your lips... I want to smell your skin... I want to take you in...


[Verse3] 

One chance we have been given... one chance to be alive... one chance to taste your lips, one chance to drink from the fountain... one chance to climb that mountain...


One chance to be alive...



[Verse 4]

I am a little confused by what your infusion into my life has done to me... but I love it, and I'm on board lets see where this road takes us knowing I will never fade from you...


No matter what we go through...


[Chorus3]

I want to watch you breathe... I want to see your chest rise... eyes closed laying in the calm of the night... I want to know you feel safe... I want to taste your lips... I want to smell you skin... I want to take you in... in, in, in, in, in...

I want to watch you breathe....

I want to taste your lips...

I want to smell your skin...

I want to shelter you from all that... frightens you and keeps you from being everything... you can be....

Breathe you in


Too many midnights with a song in my head...
Chasin down a melody instead of my bed...
Coffee on the counter...
sunrise on the way...
But I wouldn’t trade a single note I’ve ever played...


Cause these midnight hours, they keep me alive
Every line I write feels like honey in the hive...
Sun breaks through the window... like a car
with the high beams on...
Dreams are born from midnights that turn into songs...


Every late-night a struggle... with every half-wrote rhyme...
Buildin’ up a story that’ll stand up through time...
All the world’s still sleeping... 
but I’ve found my light...
shining through the chorus of another late  night...


Cause these midnight hours, they keep me alive
Every line I write feels like honey in the hive...
Sun breaks through the window, but I carry on
Dreams are born from midnights that turn into songs...


What some call time wasted...
I call my road...
Every sleepless moment...
carries the load...
And when the dawn comes, I know that I belong...
To the fire... 
that’s been burning, into the heart of a song...


Yeah, these midnight hours...
they keep me alive...
Every note I play helps my dream survive...
Sun breaks through the window...
Burning down my bed... 
Dreams are born from midnights that turn into songs created... in my head... oh ya oh ya...


Midnights


Crowds are shouting, streets are alive,
Everyone’s fighting just to survive.
Some pray to heaven, some trust the vote,
But we’re all just people hanging on hope.


Turn it up louder...
let the truth break free...
Your voice, my voice, that’s democracy...


Cause everyone needs something to believe in...
A fire to light, a reason to scream...
Freedom of speech...
freedom of faith...
Different scars but the same human grace...
Political choice is a personal fight...
You don't dare take away someone’s right...
No one’s got the power...
no one’s got the call...
To take a life for believing at all!


Raise up your banners, stand side by side...
We’re stronger together... 
we won’t divide...
Lay down your weapons...
open your hands...
It’s blood on this earth when no one stands...


Let the drums thunder, let the walls shake down...
Truth is a battle but love is the sound..


Cause everyone needs SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN...
A fire to light, a reason to scream...
Freedom of speech... 
freedom of faith...
Different scars but the same human grace...
Political choice is a personal fight...
You don't dare take away someone’s right...
No one’s got the power...
no one’s got the call...
To take a life for believing at all!


Hands up high — we won’t be denied!
Raise your voice — let freedom decide!
Every soul, every creed, every song...
We all belong...
we all belong!


Everyone needs SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN...
Hearts on fire, a world worth healing...
Freedom of speech...
freedom of faith...
Different scars but the same human grace...
Political choice is a personal fight...
You don't dare take away someone’s right...
No one’s got the power...
no one’s got the call...
To take a life for believing at all!

We all belong...

We all belong...

Something to Believe In




Words unspoken are caged emotion...
Locked away on a restless night...
I keep wonderin’ if I should’ve told you...
But silence can just eat you up inside...


Always speak your truth and believe your heart...
Don’t let the moment just fall apart...
Unspoken words are not words at all...
lonely thoughts in your mind that just fall...
To the ground...
And they vanish like the wind blowin’ through this lonely town...


If you have something to say...
make sure you do...
The people your thoughts may affect should know the truth...
I’ve carried burdens I never had to bear...
If I’d just found the courage to lay ’em out there...


Always speak your truth and believe your heart...
Don’t let the moment just fall apart...
Unspoken words are not words at all...
lonely thoughts in your mind that just fall...
To the floor...
And they vanish...
like the cold wind blowin’ through this lonely town...


There’s a freedom in honesty...
Like a song in the soul set free...
Don’t let emotion slip away in the dark...
When all it takes is the light of your heart...


Always speak your truth and believe your heart...
Don’t let the silence keep you apart...
Unspoken words are not words at all...
lonely thoughts in your mind that just fall...
To the ground...
Say it now... 
while the world is still around...


Words unspoken are caged emotion...
But spoken love is true devotion...

Unspoken


Sometimes I walk and wonder what it’s all about...
Boots on the gravel...
trying to work my demons out...
Pieces of memories keep dancing in my head...
Some bring me laughter...
some I regret...


The world keeps turning...
no matter what...
Sun keeps on rising...
even when I’m stuck...
I keep on moving...
chasing what I can’t see...
Running like the others... 
trying to reach my dreams...


I’ve stood in the silence...
heard my own heart cry...
Watched good things fade...
never knowing why...
But every mile I walk brings a little release...
Just a cowboy on a journey...
trying to find my peace...


The world keeps turning...
no matter what...
The river keeps flowing...
Straight out to the sea...
I keep on moving...
chasing what I can’t see
Running like the others...
searching for my dreams...


Maybe it’s freedom...
maybe it’s grace...
Maybe it’s just... 
finding my own place...
I don’t need the answers...
just a little belief...
That the road I’m on will bring me some peace...


The world keeps turning... 
no matter what...
Love keeps on shining... 
when times get rough...
I’ll keep on moving...
chasing what I can’t see...
Running like the others...
I will reach my dreams... 
Reach my dreams... ya...
Reach my dreams...



The world keeps turning

Funky Pumpkin


5 o’clock on Friday, whistle blows, I’m gone...
That old dirt road is callin’...
where I know I belong...
Got my chaps and boots, and a fire in my eyes...
Underneath them big arena lights, I come alive...


I’m off to the rodeo...
Poppin’ out the shoots, let the wild ones go...
Bulls goin’ straight up mad, hangin’ on for eight...
That’s the kind of rush that makes my heart race...
Workin’ my 5 to 5 just keeps me alive...
But the rodeo holds my soul...
It’s where I go to feel like I’m alive… ya, ya.


Dust in the air, crowd stompin’ their feet...
The band’s playin’ loud with that outlaw beat...
I’ve been countin’ down days through the hammer and grind...
For that moment of freedom that money can’t buy...


I’m off to the rodeo...
Poppin’ out the shoots...
let the wild ones go...
Bulls goin’ straight up mad, hangin’ on for eight...
That’s the kind of rush that makes my heart race...
Workin’ my 5 to 5 just keeps me alive...
But the rodeo holds my soul...
It’s where I go to feel like I’m alive… ya, ya.
[Breakdown] [Lead violin]


Some chase fortune...
some chase fame...
Me, I’m just ridin’ in the dirt and rain...
When that buzzer sounds...
and I’ve given my all...
I swear I’ve never felt so tall...


I’m off to the rodeo...
Poppin’ out the shoots, let the wild ones go...
Bulls goin’ straight up mad, hangin’ on for eight...
That’s the kind of rush that makes my heart race...
Workin’ my 5 to 5 just keeps me alive...
But the rodeo holds my soul...
It’s where I go to feel like I’m alive… ya, ya.


5 o’clock on Friday… whistle blows…
And you know where I’ll be...

Rodeo Soul

Remember listening to Blink 182 back in the day. 

Remember 182

I have been involved in music from birth. I was born to drum but soon learned to play guitar, bass, piano and pretty much anything I could make a beat or music with. I love making people happy through music, art and food. I retired from live performances when Covid came into play. I still do cameo appearances but have found great pleasure in writing lyrics and producing music. I love all music as I do food and cultures. There is so much to learn about the people and places in this wonderful world and I will share my experiences and emotions until my fingers no longer work. Then I will do what Stephen Hawking did to get it done. Life is a gift, share it kindly. Live, Love, Laugh.
