Fifty © David D. Geer

I’m a fifty in your pocket
You keep hidden till you drop it
On a good time
On a good time, yeah-ah-ah-ah. 

I’m the shine on the apple
You bite into when you’re laughing
Cause when there’s nothing happening
You’re what’s happening.

[Chorus]

Baby, I live for you
And every little thing you do
We’re more than love and fate
There’s more; just wait, cause,

Baby, I live for you
And every little thing you do
We’re more than love and fate
We gravitate.

[Verse Three]

I’m an eight-ball in the corner
When you got to shoot behind it
But you don’t mind it
Cause I set you free
And you just roll by me.

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Verse One]

True Love (Is Where You Find It) © David D. Geer.

Mrs. Bachelor drives her tractor to the marketplace
And sets up all her fresh produce for sale
Mr. Bachelor has a fracture, ‘keeps him in his chair
He watches soaps, eats cantaloupe, and waits to see her face.

[Chorus]

True love is where you find it
It’ll grow strong if you tend and mind it
Straight and tall if you stand beside it 
True love is where you find it.

Early up one Sunday morning in the pouring rain
An old acquaintance knocked upon her door
“No, I can’t just run away!” she soberly exclaimed.
And curled up with her Mr., once she ran him off the porch.

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]

She stops by to see him Sunday evenings after church
Beneath the oaks and apples where he lies  
She swears she’ll always love him and, to tell the truth,
If he could rise up from the ground, she’d marry him again.

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

Hey, Mercy © David D. Geer / Tara Craig

Your arms around me
Healed my heart and cleared my head
The more I showed you around
The more peaceful I would get

I’ve been looking for you
I wonder where you’ve been
I always ask about you
Are you coming back again?

Hey, Mercy,
You were my greatest hero
Hey, Mercy,
Can you see how much I need you?
You chased away the bullies
You hid my deepest scars
You slew the boogeymen
You rehung the fallen stars
Hey, Mercy,
I miss you
Hey, Mercy,
Hey, Mercy!

You worked at the shelter
Keeping people clothed and fed
You heard the lonely crying
When they needed a friend

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
I’m looking for you
I hope you find me
I’ll never let you go again
I’ll keep you here inside me

[Repeat Chorus]

High and Hallelujah! © David D. Geer

Everyone’s got to love someone
Everyone’s got to love
Everyone’s got to love someone 
Everyone’s got to love

You’ll kiss and squeeze and sweat and swear
Your heart will race to get you there
If you’re sure, don’t hesitate
It’s the sweetest thing you’ll ever taste 

And we sing, High and Hallelujah!
If you’re dry, pour one into you
If there’s a better life or a better time
Lead on, my friend, we’re right behind you

Everyone’s got to go sometime
Everyone’s got to go
Everyone’s got to go sometime 
Everyone’s got to go

While you’re here, play hard and have fun 
Share some beer; get tangled up some
If it’s love, don’t hesitate
It’s the sweetest thing you’ll ever taste

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]

High, high, high, hallelujah! 
High, high, high, hallelujah!

[Repeat Chorus]

High and Hallelujah!

Daddy Did    

In the Fall, the crops came in 
Because he planted in the Spring 
He didn’t need a reason to 
He didn’t think about such things 

That dirt was in his blood
It was who he was
With patience and precision
He dug in and got it done

No one could hoe a row like Daddy Did
No one could make things grow like Daddy Did
He brought up each acre
While the sun beat on his back
With a little help from Jesus
And The Farmer’s Almanac 
I watched him every season as a kid
That’s how I know what Daddy Did

I rode behind the tractor seat
I saw him work the plow from there
He didn’t want a better life
He said there wasn’t one nowhere

That dirt was in his blood
It was who he was
With patience and precision
He dug in and got it done

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]

He taught me what he knew
I looked up to him
He isn’t really gone
I still do what Daddy Did

[Repeat Chorus]

[Outro]

I loved everything about him
That’s why I do what Daddy Did
