Paying the price for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his children

For A Loaf Of Bread

Selfish One Day v.1

Lyrics

VERSE 1
Staring at
A hangman’s rope
Nothin’ I'd change
Just the way life goes
I can't deny
I took that bread
Tried to get away
But they caught me instead

CHORUS
Payin' the price
For a loaf of bread
My family was starvin'
Now two are dead

VERSE 2
Could'a let me go
But he came at me
Could'a looked the other way
Like he didn’t see
He fell on his own knife
We ran for the hills
They set the hounds on us
My daughter was killed

CHORUS
Payin' the price
For a loaf of bread
My family was starvin'
Now my girl is dead

VERSE 3
Wish to see my son 
Just one more time
It’s not up to me
Time to pay for the crime
He will be alone
The rest of his life
All for a loaf of bread
An' tryin' to survive

CHORUS
Payin' the price
For a loaf of bread
My family was starvin'
Now two are dead

OUTRO
For a loaf of bread
My family was starvin'
For a loaf of bread
That man came chargin'
For a loaf of bread
I'm givin’ my life
For a loaf of bread
My girl done died
My girl done died
For a loaf of bread
An' tryin' to survive

For a Loaf of Bread v5

The instrumental version of my saddest song.
This piece keeps adding tension through the verses. You can't help but feel it.
Then it falls down into the root chord releasing the tension for the chorus.

Gravity - Instrumental Version

This is an Instrumental Guitar piece that I wrote way back in my early days in 2016.
That is the year I started to write and to play in public.

Born To The Blues

Hope (instrumental acoustic guitar)

VERSE 1
Good days, smilin’
Reachin’ for a laugh
Funny stories
Jokin' with my dad
Back then I was
Havin' my fun
And all I did was laugh

CHORUS
No regrets on livin'
Just tryin' to get along
All I got is my
Pocket full a songs

VERSE 2
Sad days, sad times
When life didn't go my way
Nothin' for a job
Had my bills to pay
My only job
Singin’ out those sad, sad songs
Day by day

CHORUS
No regrets on livin'
Just tryin' to get along
All I got is my
Pocket full a songs

BRIDGE
A proud man
I lived my life
Nothin' to do
Just gotta try
I put 'em in my pocket
And bring 'em out today

CHORUS
No regrets on livin'
Just tryin' to get along
All I got is my
Pocket full a songs

A Pocket Full A Songs

A man on his last day of life. He just wants to lay his body down and go to heaven.

Born a preacher man
Gettin’ on in years
Never preached enough
My end is drawin’ near
Here at the end
I ain’t got nothin’
Just an old black book 
And a second-hand guitar

CHORUS
Dear God, wanna lay this body down
Dear God, I'm comin' home
Dear God, let me come on home

My guitar an' the book
Full a comfort and hope
They called to me
An' they helped me t' cope
Baptized married an' buried
All together with song
Held the hand of a child
As his daddy moved along

CHORUS

Sitting alone
Nobody around
Let my thoughts go free
As my body lets me down
Playing a song
Full a wonder an’ delight
The sun goes down
Turns to blackest night

CHORUS

I lay this body down
Set aside the book
Grab my guitar
Take one final look
I’ve come a long, long way
Thank God I’m home
Finally home
Thank God I'm home

Lay This Body Down

All alone and looking for seduction!

You're trying to seduce me
You sweet thing
My anticipation spiking
My mouth is watering
I want to have you
But I'm not sure
I know I shouldn't, but still
No, I must try, to resist

CHORUS
It's all about seduction
When it comes to your kind
Such a sweet seduction
Can't get you
Can't get ya out of my mind

Covered in lacy layers
I'm bewitched
Your succulent flavors
Too good to miss
A single glance
So hard to fight
I should try
'Cause it wouldn't be right
Must, try, to resist

CHORUS

My resolve is wavering
You put me in a trance
Wonder what you taste like
With your sugar-coated plans
You don't really care
You just love the chase
I can't take it anyway
So I give you a taste

BRIDGE
I nibble you
I taste you
I consume you
Ecstasy
Fantasy
Confectionary delight
Dark chocolate covered pecans
With coconut and orange
And a drop of marmalade

CHORUS

When it's all over
I look down
See the next confection
Let's start the next seduction

Sweet Seduction

At the edge of a pond 
Sits a clearing primeval 
Like a scented love note
Jasmine fills my senses
Feet splash in the mud
I start to wander
The warmth of the sun
Azure, skies above

CHORUS
Oasis, I need to get away
Oasis, from my day
Oasis, I'd ask you to join me
But my Oasis is hidden away

A trail up a mountain
A rock slips under my foot
Leading to something beautiful
Can't wait to take a look
Silence surrounds me 
Surprised, I feel at home
The answering song, a Whippoorwill 
I am not alone

CHORUS

Clouds dance together
Flirting with the sun
Till they race away
Across the sky they will run
A breeze rustles the leaves
Crickets call for their mates
The wonder of it all
Let me see what else awaits

BRIDGE
At the edge of a pond
We all need a place
A place all our own
Somewhere we go alone

CHORUS

Oasis
Oasis
Oasis
Oasis
Oasis

Number 237 Piano Cminadd11(no5)

When you meet a Beautiful French woman and you don't speak French. A very romantic song. Perfect for easy listening.
