That's When The Lonely Comes (duet w/ David Yazbek)

It's All For You

Redneck will 
M. Shelton

V1
That’s my truck, it’s a Chevy duelly
Meet my dog, he’s a bit unruly. 
My home is up on eight wheels, parked out in a dirt field
I got all I need, my woman treats me like a king
Yeah, I know that I might, 
go too far sometimes!
I’m living life my way,  
but some folks like to say
 
CH 1 
“You can’t do that!” But everybody knows a redneck will!
“You can’t fix that!” Everybody knows a redneck will! 
Every effin’ little “NO” I hear, I just tell em hold my beer!
Ain’t much in life that knocks me down, ask anyone in this one-horse town
If someday I take a nasty spill, jumping my 3-wheeler over some hill
I’ll rest in peace; I already wrote my redneck will!
 
V2
It goes…
To my truck, you got the dent from my ass
Think of me with every prius that you pass
My hunting in the bog dog, I loved every long walk
You can have my boots, yeah, the ones you like to chew
Finally, to my girl, 
you always rocked my world
My 10G policy, 
Throw a kegger in my memory
 
CH 
“You can’t do that!” But everybody knows a redneck will!
“You can’t fix that!” Everybody knows a redneck will! 
Every effin’ little “NO” I hear, I just tell em hold my beer!
Ain’t much in life that knocks me down, ask anyone in this one-horse town
If someday I take a nasty spill, jumping my 3-wheeler over some hill
I’ll rest in peace; I already wrote my redneck will!

(THEY SAY)
“You can’t do that!” But everybody knows a redneck will!
“You can’t fix that!” Everybody knows a redneck will! 
Every effin’ little “NO” I hear, I just tell em hold my beer!
Ain’t much in life that knocks me down, ask anyone in this one-horse town
If someday I take a nasty spill, jumping my 3-wheeler over some hill
I’ll rest in peace; I already wrote my redneck will!

Hell, they’re just sorry they ain’t in it!


REDNECK WILL

Woke up just this mornin’ didn’t know the time, the day, or the year
The only friend I have in this whole world is my dog Blue layin’ here
When I climbed up this mountain I was tryin’ to escape from fools gone mad
I wonder if they’re still alive or have they ruined the only world they had

	Me and Blue just kickin’ back not hatin’ anyone
	We’ll worry about tomorrow when today is done
	Me and Blue just kickin’ back and breathin’ mountain air
	Not carin’ about the world that lives down there

Thank you Lord for lettin’ me open my eyes and live another day
I know you’ve got the power if you set your mind to take it all away
Come on Blue it’s time we checked those traps up on Willow Creek
And if that dang old goat don’t milk we’ll be drinkin’ water another week

	Me and Blue just kickin’ back not hatin’ anyone
	We’ll worry about tomorrow when today is done
	Me and Blue just kickin’ back and breathin’ mountain air
	Not carin’ about the world that lives down there

With big sad eyes Blue looks up at me and I know what’s on his mind
He’s a wonderin’ if we’ll ever climb back down and leave this way of life behind
Well listen here you ugly dog what ever makes you think I’d leave these woods
Cause I’ve been down there and I wouldn’t trade you for a million dollars if I could

	Me and Blue just kickin’ back not hatin’ anyone
	We’ll worry about tomorrow when today is done
	Me and Blue just kickin’ back and breathin’ mountain air
	Not carin’ about the world that lives down there

	Me and Blue just kickin’ back not hatin’ anyone
	We’ll worry about tomorrow when today is done
	Me and Blue just kickin’ back and breathin’ mountain air
	Not carin’ about the world that lives down there
	Not carin’ about the world that lives down there


Kickin' Back With Blue (MIX)

[Verse]
It's been just over a year,
but you still feel, so near..
and at night I call out your name,
to the evening breeze
but when I try to speak
I can't breathe
oh.. I can't breathe..

[Verse]
Now the air's heavy in the evening light,
and Sky's turnin gray, like it's gonna, cry all night..

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's gotta.. rain,
to wash away the pain,
Maybe it's Nature’s way of sayin',
it's time to start.. again, again
When life feels like a ball and chain,
Remember, sometimes it's gotta rain.
oh oh oh.. it's gotta rain..

[Verse 2]
The clock on the wall's movin slow
and I 'm lost where the sun never goes.
Silent screams whisper through cracks in the night,
and I'm still searching for a ray of light

[Chorus]
But Sometimes it's gotta...rain,
to wash away the pain,
Maybe it's Nature’s way of sayin',
it's time to start... again,
When life feels like a ball and chain,
Remember, sometimes it's gotta rain.
oh oh oh.. it's gotta rain..

[Bridge]
The storm left us rivers of sorrow,
and a lifetime of broken.. tomorrows

[Outro]
Ain't no rainbow without a storm,
but maybe through the rain..
a new day is born.
But I know.. Sometimes it’s gotta rain
oh oh oh.. it’s gotta rain
it’s gotta... rain

Rain (feat., SD)

I can touch the sunset...
The Denim Chronicles by songwriter Edwin H. Balder
Faded blue with frayed old seams
Worn through miles in my jeans
From road trips to concert scenes
Stitched up memories in between
Grass stains from festival fields
Muddy boots from weapon yields
Woodstock warrior signed and sealed
All those moments slowly healed
But time it's got its way
Chasing youth no slow delay
Jeans like stories in decay
Gotta let them go today
Pockets full of ticket stubs
Bar naps and forgotten loves
Denim tales from Mississippi clubs
Vintage threads that fit like gloves
Tears of laughter worn in pride
We faced the storms and wild rides
Frayed medicine for broken tides
Lived those moments side by side
But time it's got its way
Chasing youth no slow delay
Jeans like stories in decay
Gotta let them go today

The Denim Chronicles by songwriter Edwin H. Balder

Disagreement is natural and normal.  Dialog is essential to collaboration.  But will we work together, or will  we be Antimatter?

Lyrics:
Antimatter
                 
The Ocean is deep and salty, We're all in, over our heads,
You've got your periscope, 'n I've got mine,
We're each looking for safe harbor, but we're pointed different ways,
So we see different answers at different times

And we want it so much we will not be denied,
“Cause if we want it that much, it must be right

So we're like Antimatter, if we touch we destroy each other,
And everything else that matters, Anything that gets in our way, Oh oh oh oh,
We're like Antimatter 

And now the whole world is watching, and our souls are on the line,
'Cause who are we if not the role we play?
Good people stand for something,  And we're running out of time,
But we're drowning in a sea of all we say

Though we know that something's wrong deep down inside,
Can't take the risk of looking compromised

And we're like Antimatter, if we touch we destroy each other,
And everything else that matters, Or gets in our way, Oh oh oh oh,
We're like Antimatter 

Hatred is powerful but dangerous,
It destroys us even as it destroys our enemies,
Or you can shine your light more on what you want more of.
And less on what you want less

Or be Antimatter, if we touch we destroy each other,
And everything else that matters,   Anything that gets in our way, Oh oh oh oh,

We're like Antimatter, consuming all in an endless fire,
Is it better to burn it all down or find a peaceful way?  Oh oh oh oh,
Are we like Antimatter?         
Will we be Antimatter?           
Is that what really matters?

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!
