Another White Christmas

V1

I want to sing about another white Christmas  
A Christmas that's whiter than white  
There's a white Christmas snow  
and bright mistletoe  
In the country club clubhouse tonight  
 

CH: 

Bing Crosby and Friends  
The fun never ends  
With Buffy and Timmy and Slim  
Every song is so gay  
And we can't wait to play  
Another game of Christmas croquette  
  
V2 

Just like yesteryear  
All the dreams we hold dear  
Will come true with white Christmas cheer  
The white stars are so bright  
And red Santa's in sight  
For another white Christmas tonight  


CH: 

Bing Crosby and Friends  
The fun never ends  
With Buffy and Timmy and Slim  
Everyone is so gay  
And we can't wait to play  
Another game of Christmas Charades 
 
V2 (repeat)

Just like yesteryear  
All the dreams we hold dear  
Will come true with white Christmas cheer  
The white stars are so bright  
And red Santa's in sight  
For another white Christmas tonight

Another White Christmas

Thing for You
By David Snyder

V1

There is something I must confess
although I've been hiding it
But somehow I must tell the truth
I can't sleep, I can't think, it would do me no good to drink
You see I have a problem
and the problem
is you

CH

Cause I've got a thing for you
I've got a thing for you
What in the world can I do
Cause I, I, I, Yes I, I, I,
Yes I, I, I have a thing for you
Yes I do


V2

They say that you're too good for me
That I'm out of my league
and that some dreams just can't ever come true
but if you could be inside of me
and see the way I look at you
would we slow dance, and romance the way folks used to do

Chorus

V3

Oh, if you could be inside of me
and see the way I look at you
could we slow dance and romance the way folks used to do

Thing For You

HEARTLESS
By David Snyder

V1

If you ask my opinion
God doesn't ask that much
just try and make a difference
in every life you touch
Everybody in the world is hurt
and they need a friend
it's really not all that hard to understand

CH

You might have got drunk
you might have been fried
you might have been really messed up inside
it doesn't mean
you're going to hell
but if you were heartless
If you were heartless
it ain't gonna go that well

V2

If you ask my opinion 
everybody's got it rough
you work and you fight and try
it's never good enough
The only way to win is love
and then love some more
I can promise you someone
is damned sure keeping score

CH

You might have got drunk
you might have been fried
you might have been really messed up inside
it doesn't mean
you're going to hell
it doesn't mean you're going to hell
but if you were heartless
If you were heartless
it ain't gonna go that well

Bridge

You know God weighs the heart
of every woman and man
and all God expects you to do is the best you can
but if you hurt the way you've been hurt
it comes back on you
and you know every single word of this is true

CH

You might have got drunk
you might have been fried
you might have been really messed up inside
it doesn't mean
you're going to hell
it doesn't mean
you're going to hell
but if you were heartless
If you were heartless
it ain't gonna go that well

If you ask my opinion God doesn't ask that much
yeah if you my opinion
God doesn't ask that much

Life is Hard

By David Snyder, Herb Hartley, Eddie Anthony, Charlie Fogle and Pat Marr 

V1 

On a blacktop road  
a long way from home
in a pickup truck
each man drove alone 
and I'm turning off
on an old dirt road 
cause I'm too tired
to carry on

Chorus:  

You might trip 
or you might fall
you might end up against the wall
Life is hard in case you can't tell
Life is hard We’ve learned that well  

solo  

V2 

five old southern boy 
and a yank who drove 
with a trailer and a dog
to escape the snow  
and where they're going 
nobody knows
 and the wind keeps blowing them 
where they go

 CHORUS REPEAT  

Bridge 

Met some new friends 
drank a few beers 
sorry bout that if you weren't here.

Life Is Hard

Don’t Blame Me When I Fall

David Snyder

V1

I’d like to talk to the man upstairs
Yeah I would like to have a word
Few things about my life round here
Well, they seem a bit absurd
I didn’t ask to come here
No I didn’t volunteer
I didn’t ask for so many rules and worries
And so many reasons to shed a tear

Pre CH

I didn’t make nothing round here
I didn’t make nothing at all

CH

So don’t blame me for gravity, don’t blame me for tragedy
Don’t blame me for whiskey when I make it to last call
Don’t blame me for drinking it, cause God, you know I need it
And most of all, sir, if you please
Don’t blame me
Don’t blame me when I fall

V2

And don’t blame me
For missing her
Cause it hurts me every day
And you never bothered telling me
Why you took my girl away
When you chose to make me human
Did you know just what that means
Cause you made a heart that breaks too many ways
It seems

CH

So don’t blame me for gravity, don’t blame me for tragedy
Don’t blame me for whiskey when I make it to last call
Don’t blame me for drinking it, cause God, you know I need it
And most of all, sir, if you please
Don’t blame me
Don’t blame me when I fall

Don't Blame Me When I Fall

My father, Charles Snyder, passed away on Sunday August 7th, and was buried on Monday August 15th, yesterday, as of this post.

I sang this song at his graveside service, a rendition of his favorite song Shenandoah, a song about the area of Virginia where he was born. 

My first memory of life is a musical memory--I was about the age I am in this picture and my father was holding me in his lap singing this song, as he sat in a rocking chair and I looked at the beautiful tree outside the window. He had, and always had, the most beautiful tenor voice I have ever heard.

I remember thinking, "This is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. What a beautiful day. What a beautiful world."

Thanks for the gift of life Dad, thanks for the gift of music, and thanks for being my imaginative Dad, the best Dad a little imaginative boy could ever hope for.

It was pouring down rain while I was singing this song to him to say goodbye, so that is the noise you will hear in the background, but maybe that will add something to it. It often seems to start raining at the beginning of funerals, and ends when they are over, and no one knows why. Maybe God will tell me one day.

I just pressed record on my phone before I played this because I wanted to remember it, so don't expect Abbey Road.  But I wanted to share this moment with my friends to remind us all of how important family is. Make every moment count. Every second.

Treasure and love everyone in your family while they are alive.  It is the most important thing.

Shenandoah
(Traditional, arranged by David Snyder.)

David Snyder, vocals and guitar. The voice at the end is my Mom, my Dad's best friend for his whole life, and according to him, the best thing that ever happened to him. I guess a lot of guys, or at least the lucky ones, including me, have found someone like that, too.

Dedicated in loving memory to Charles Snyder, the man with the world's brightest twinkle in his eye from 1933 to 2022.

Song For My Father: Shenandoah

MAKE ME LOVE AGAIN

By David Snyder

V1

Looking for a reason looking for a way
looking for an antidote to yesterday
looking for a person who can see beneath my skin
looking for any place on earth that would take me in
looking for a person who won't judge me
for a few mistakes I've made along the way

CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know that I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again
and make me love again

V2

Fighting for some answers, and you know I'm not afraid
I'd like to throw it in reverse , don't like this world we've made
So I'm looking for a person with some goodness in their eyes
looking for any place on earth that sells truth instead of lies


CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again


BR

Oh I'm tired of falling down
from the sorrow in my soul, every time I look around

CH

So I'm looking for anyone anywhere anytime
just looking for someone who I can call a friend
any smile, any touch, you know  I don't ask for much
just anything that could make me feel like me
and make me love again

By David Snyder

V1

She said honey get your money

and then you'll see the pearly gates

CH

She said oooh baby

V2

She said forget that modern music

Oh yeah

DIRTY HANDS, CLEAN MONEY
By Rachel Cintula and David Snyder

Tempo 75 Soulful Country Hard Back beat


V1

With a shovel in your calloused hands
work taught you how to be a man
Some days you turn a wrench,
some days you drive a nail
Every day you pray to keep it together
Come hell or high water   Or stormy weather
Split wood, stack bales
You see your family, and you can’t fail

P-CH

Because, you can’t be bribed,
And you can't be bought,
And you’ll always be described,
As a man who's earned

what he’s got.....     with

CH
    
Dirty hands, dirty hands
Clean money, clean money

V2

Daddy you had brains but you never chased grades
No wall of degrees but you sure got paid
And you were never ashamed
to be a member of the trades
Because you knew that's how this country was made
Come hell or high water you were never afraid
And you knew you would always be
The hero of this family

P-CH

Because you can’t be bribed,
And you can't be bought,
And you always be described,
As a man, who's earned
what he’s got.....     with

CH

Dirty hands,  dirty hands
Clean money,  clean money

BR

I’m not saying one path is better than the other
Cause you taught me to respect one another
If your hands are clean and so is your money
We at least agree on one thing honey

P-CH

And if you  can’t be bribed,
And you can't be bought,
And you’ll always be remembered
As a person whose daddy
Taught a lot ….  with

CH
Dirty hands,  dirty hands       
Clean money,clean money

FADE

With a shovel in your calloused hands
work taught you how to be a man
with dirty hands, dirty hands, clean money

Dirty Hands Clean Money

ONE MORE WHISKEY SONG

V1

Driving down the road I crashed my car
She flew through the windshield
And hit that asphalt tar
Might have had too much to drink
I don't remember all that much
But the sheriff said my breath did stink
They put handcuffs on me, first, then came the hospital room
 
PC

And she looked up at me with tears in her eyes
Said  I guess our love has brought me to the end of my life
In a few more minutes  I'll be gone
So could you sing me
Just one more Whiskey song

CH

Sing me one more Whiskey song before I die
Cuz you were drinking and you wrecked that car
Should have never learned to drive
But at least the song might make you a country music star
About  whiskey, and a car wreck
And a love affair gone wrong
So sing me...while you're crying and I'm dying
Just one more Whiskey song

V2

Next thing I knew I was headed down death row
With shackles on my feet so I was walking mighty slow
The warden said the chair is ready and you know it won't be long
So before you get that shock
Could you sing us one more song

CH

Sing me one more Whiskey song before you  die
Cuz you were drinking and you wrecked that car
Should have never learned to drive
But at least the song might make you a country music star
About your love affair with whiskey
And a human life that’s gone
So sing me...while you're crying and dying
Just one more Whiskey song


Bridge

And some bets that are made
Are just made to be lost
When I rolled and flipped that car
I regret the dice I tossed

CH

So I’ll sing you one more Whiskey song before I die
Cuz I was drinking and I wrecked that car
Should have never learned to drive
But at least the song might make me country music star
So let me sing it one more time for all the things that I’ve done wrong
Just one more
Whiskey song
Just one more
Whiskey song

One More Whiskey Song

CRYING IN MY SLEEP
BY DAVID SNYDER

V1

[Super long solo...]

Ever since you left me
I can hardly breathe
Ever since you left me
I can't sleep a wink
Ever since you left me
My heart is bleeding on my sleeve
I got nothing to live for
Nothing to hope for
and nothing to believe

CH

no ever since you left me
I been crying
I been crying in my sleep 
oh Lord now

another long solo

V2


Ever since you left me
My body feels the pain, from head to toe
Ever since you left me
I been sleeping in the rain, and in the snow
Ever since you left me
My soul is dying,  and there’s no relief
I got nothing to live for
Nothing to hope for
and nothing to believe

CH

No ever since you left me
I been crying
I been crying in my sleep 
Oh Lord now

Yet another solo

Crying In My Sleep

STEELY DAN 

By David Snyder 

V1 

Give me the red pill sugar 
To set me free 
I may take the blue pill later 
So I can sleep 
It’s fine all right 
If the world lasts one more night 
Although New York City is burning 
The house party is in sight 

CH: 

And the girls don’t care what you’re doing 
As long as you do it all night long 
And the girls will give it all to you  
If you play their favorite song 
And just 
Be man 
Keep it up and have a plan 
Make it jazzy if you can 
If your skin has a deeper tan 
play some Steely Dan 

V2 

Find me some politicians 
To treat me nice 
Give me some sweet molasses 
And banana spice 
It’s fine all right 
If the world lasts one more night 
My house is owned by China 
But the party is in sight 

CH: 

And the girls don’t care what you’re doing 
As long as you do it all night long 
And the girls will give it all to you  
If you play their favorite song 
And just 
Be man 
Keep it up and have a plan 
Make it jazzy if you can 
If your skin has a deeper tan 
play some Steely Dan 
The girls are tight
yeah the girls are tight
so be a man
and play some Steely Dan

One of These Days  

V1  
  
One of these days  
I will write a melody  
sing what I want to sing  
see what I want to see  
I will leave myself behind  
Oh I will leave myself behind 
one of these days  
I may be free 
One of these days
I may be free  

CH 

But today  
I can hardly make it off my  
knees  
and I try to sing  
but I only scream  
Oh baby maybe I’m just going through a phase 
Maybe I’m just going through a phase 
But I hope it will be over 
One of these days 

V2  

One of these days  
I will find out what I need  
figure out  what's killing me  
what I was meant to be  
I will break away from here  
Oh break away from here 
Put a boat out in the ocean  
If I can finally learn to steer  
  
 CH 

But today  
I can hardly make it off my  
knees  
and I try to sing  
but I only scream  
Oh baby maybe I’m just going through a phase 
Maybe I’m just going through a phase 
But I hope it will be over 
One of these days 

Bridge  

Oh I don't know what I'm searching for  
but I know I want more  
I'll keep looking for a sign  
try to figure out my mind  
Before I lose it 
It might happen just in time 
 
CH 
  
But today  
I can hardly make it off my  
knees  
and I try to sing  
but I only scream  
Oh baby maybe I’m just going through a phase 
Maybe I’m just going through a phase 
But I hope it will be over 
One of these days

I need more than a voice

While I’m singing my song

And nervous to see

V2


I need more than a dream 
To keep me alive 
I need someone to hold 
So I can survive 
I need more than a whisper 
From up in the sky 
I need a kiss on my lips 
Or I will break down and die 

CH 

And you know all the places in me 
Where I’m hurt and afraid 
And nervous to see 
But you listen to my heartache 
Then love me tenderly 
And God knows this is heaven
cause you got what I need

ALL THE JESUS THAT I’VE GOT

By Rachel Cintula and David Snyder

V1

Everybody has an opinion
How other folks are living
They fight till there's nothing left
Cause of course their ideas are best
A few things I won’t accept
Not showing any respect
For God, my flag, my country
Man you’re about to hit the deck

CH

Some people
They just cause this world to rot
Some people think my soul’s for sale
But I tell you that it's not
Some people
I’m telling you
Better step back
And step away from me
Cause some people
Take all the Jesus
Take all the Jesus that I've got

V2

Watched how ya’ll been living
Stayed dry during your baptism
You’re not living a life that’s blessed
I’ll help you so you don’t get checked
Along with my self-respect
There’s a lot I will protect
Don’t cross family or my property
You can hit the door or you can hit the floor
Because 

CH

Some people
They just cause this world to rot
Some people think my soul’s for sale
But I tell you that it's not
Some people
I’m telling you
Better step back
And step away from me
Cause some people
Take all the Jesus
Take all the Jesus that I've got

BR

Few things I won’t comprise
Like hatred, godless-ness and lies
And I been like that….since I was born
And I been that way all along….
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people
They just cause this world to rot
Some people think my soul’s for sale

Take all the Jesus that I've got

ALL THE JESUS THAT I GOT

CAN’T TAKE ME BACK
By Rachel Cintula and David Snyder


V1

Life moved past the one horse in this town
Stoplights are the only thing slowing people down
Highway goes through where the county fair used to be
And many folks have passed on who I’d like to see
The coach I knew retired from teaching in the game
A lot of folks don’t even know me by my family name

CH

See, it don’t matter which way I go
Highways or low ways, or the beaten paths I know
Gravel or pavement
Or  a rough dirt track
These country roads can take me home
But man, they just can’t take me back

V2

Been told I’ve changed by folks I once called friends
I guess I have from the far off places that I’ve been
Like all these old fields my life’s become over grown
And I‘m thankful when I get to my back to mama’s home
Where things were simple and  I was my daddy’s son
And I could rest without worry when the day was done

CH

See, it don’t matter which way I go
Highways or low ways, those memories are gold
Gravel or pavement
Or a rough dirt track
These country roads can take me home
But man, they just can’t take me back

BR

If I knew then 
what I now feel
I would have lived more in the present
Livin’ moments time can’t steal


CH

Cause it doesn’t matter
which way I go
highways or low ways
my heart knows one sad fact
Gravel or pavement
Or a rough dirt track
These country roads can take me home
But man, they can never take me back
never take me back

WE’RE STRONGER THAN THE ENEMY
AND THAT IS NO SURPRISE, THAT IS NO SURPRISE

After The Apocalypse

Call Me Quarantine
By David Snyder

Intro:

Hello? Is there anybody in there?
[knocking]
Hello? You need to come out of your room
You need to do your chores
You need to come out and cut the grass

V1

When I was a child I had a fleeting dream
The orange man wasn't on my tv screen
But now those days are gone forever
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away
Up into the air like a balloon
But now I sit all day inside my lonely room
A moron every day is all I've seen

CH

Aaaaaah, aaaaaah
Call me quarantine

V2

When I was a child I saw a moron man
only when the dark side moon was green
Now I see a moron man every day
Tell me Jesus when will you be seen

CH

Aaaaaaaah, aaaaah,
Aaaaah, Aaaaaah
Call me quarantine

Rideout

Is that the moon? is it green?
you know they love me
they really love me
there is no moon
and if we could get inside, squirt
some disinfectant into the head,
then that would do a job
they love me, I know you really love me
but all, was, it was, something, but ah
(unintelligible gibberish and loud guitar)

Call Me Quarantine

LONG DISTANCE SATELLITE
BY DAVID SNYDER

V1

I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING, I FEEL YOU I FEEL YOU
IT SEEMS LIKE THE MADNESS IS WORSE THAN A WAR
AND WE’RE SPINNING WE’RE SPINNING, IN WEBS OF ILLUSION
ELECTRONIC CONFUSION, AND THERE’S NO EXIT DOOR
BUT I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I’D GIVE MY LIFE FOR YOU
AND I’LL TELL YOU AGAIN LIKE I’VE TOLD YOU BEFORE
I WILL HOLD YOU, WILL HOLD YOU, WILL HOLD YOU
UNTIL WE FEAR NO MORE

CH

OH I WILL BE YOUR LONG DISTANCE SATELLITE
I WILL BE YOUR LONG DISTANCE SATELLITE
AND ALTHOUGH I AM COVERED, I AM COVERED
I AM COVERED IN BLOOD AND SACRIFICE
YOU CAN CALL ME, ANYTIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT
AND I WILL BE YOUR LONG DISTANCE SATELLITE

V2

YOU’VE HEARD OF BETHLEHEM OVER AND OVER
AND SOMETIMES WE DON’T KNOW WHAT ANYTHING MEANS
AND IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE IN A WORLD WHERE THE POWER
MAKES SURE THAT THIS POWER IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
BUT I HEAR YOU, I HEAR YOU, MY HEART’S BEATING FOR YOU
AND I’LL TELL YOU AGAIN LIKE I’VE TOLD YOU BEFORE
I WILL HOLD YOU, WILL HOLD YOU, WILL HOLD YOU
UNTIL WE CRY NO MORE

CH

OH I WILL BE YOUR LONG DISTANCE SATELLITE
I WILL BE YOUR LONG DISTANCE SATELLITE
AND ALTHOUGH I AM COVERED, I AM COVERED
I AM COVERED IN BLOOD AND SACRIFICE
YOU CAN CALL ME, ANYTIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT
AND I WILL BE YOUR LONG DISTANCE SATELLITE

BRIDGE:

SO CALL ME TONIGHT
CALL ME TONIGHT
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK, AND WE WILL MAKE IT RIGHT

ALL THE WAY BACK HOME
BY DAVID SNYDER


V1

WHEN YOU’RE FEELING ALONE
AND THINK NOTHING IS REAL
AND THEY’VE STOLEN YOUR FAITH
BUT THEY’VE ASKED YOU TO KNEEL
WHEN THEY’VE BURIED YOUR DREAMS
MOCKED THE SKIN ON YOUR FACE
WHEN THEY'VE MANGLED THE TRUTH
CRIPPLED MERCY AND GRACE


CH

YOU BETTER DRIVE YOUR CAR
ALL THE WAY BACK HOME
YOU BETTER TURN AROUND
YOU LEFT A MUCH BETTER TOWN
YOU LEFT A MUCH BETTER TOWN
ALL THE WAY BACK HOME


V2

WHEN THEY COME FOR YOUR  HEART
WHEN THEY COME FOR YOUR SOUL
REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE
REMEMBER WHAT YOU KNOW
AND IF YOU HAVE FIGHT
FIGHT WITH ALL YOU’VE GOT
NEVER SAY WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO SAY
AND DON’T YOU EVER GIVE UP

CH

YOU BETTER DRIVE YOUR CAR
ALL THE WAY BACK HOME
YOU BETTER TURN AROUND
YOU LEFT A MUCH BETTER TOWN
YOU LEFT A MUCH BETTER TOWN
ALL THE WAY BACK HOME

V3 

WHEN THE CHILDREN OF DARKNESS
FIGHT THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT
YOU’LL BE CHOOSING A SIDE
ONLY ONE SIDE IS RIGHT
SO WHEN YOU’RE STRANDED AT MIDNIGHT
PUT YOUR HAND ON THE WHEEL
I THINK YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO
AND WHICH KINGDOM IS REAL


CH

YOU BETTER DRIVE YOUR CAR
ALL THE WAY BACK HOME
YOU BETTER TURN AROUND
YOU LEFT A MUCH BETTER TOWN
YOU LEFT A MUCH BETTER TOWN
ALL THE WAY BACK HOME
