Lalya Pars - Glory Belongs To God

Verse 1:
She met Adam at eighteen
He was nothing like she'd ever seen
Rode a harley to school
if he went at all
they met in the summer
in love by fall

Verse 2:
She couldn't tell her daddy when she knew she was late
Didn't tell Adam cuz she knew he would skate
She got two jobs and a one room flat
Nine months gone like a finger snap

Pre-chorus:
She never did see that man again
when he found out she was ex peck ting
It was no surprise he would up and leave
Raising Cain was left up to eve

Chorus:
Mama raised cain
whenever she was able
worked all night to put
supper on the table

got us up and dressed out the door
passed out at one and up by four
doing what she could
and a little more
yeah - mama raised cain
whenever she was able

Verse 3:
A few years gone and a girl's worst fear
history repeats, and i was here
A single mom didn't need another
Ready or not, Cain had a brother

Pre-chorus:
Tried as I could, we never got along
I was thin and Cain was strong
Like cats and dogs fought every day 
And as soon as i could i ran away

Chorus:
Mama raised cain
whenever she was able
worked all night to put
supper on the table

got us up and dressed
and out the door
passed out by one and up at four
doing what she could
and a little more
yeah - mama raised cain
whenever she was able

Bridge
Cain would never know real sacrifice
got caught up in strong drink and vice
never did  much in this life
mama tried her best
but cain stayed a caveman
couldn't keep a job
living in the basement

Chorus:
Mama raised cain
whenever she was able
worked all night to put
supper on the table

got us up and dressed
and out the door
passed out by one and up at four
doing what she could
and a little more
yeah - mama raised cain
whenever she was able

Mama Raised Cain ( S.Carey Vocal)

The Joke's On Me 

There's always sounds of laughter
in every room i'm in
always with a line
or a joke to tell

but when the laughs die away
and i'm walking alone in the evening
my smile fades
because i know, way deep down
the jokes on me
 
holding all of the pieces
of my dicey world
together with a bit of silly string

i wanna be cool, but
i play the fool 

because i try with all my heart
the harder i pull 
the more it falls apart

There's always sounds of laughter
in every room i'm in
always with a line
or a joke to tell

and you don't owe me a single favor
you see
i'll pick up the tab
the joke's on me

You may see a tear
that's not from sadness
my love
i just laugh til i cry
the joke's on me

The Jokes On Me

Hey God

Life’s gone by so very fast..why I thought that It would last forever   Am
I don’t know   G
Just one glance into the mirror my longevity could not be clearer  Am 
The years truly show.. where am I to go ..tell me   G  F     hey God
  

Am     D                  G          Am                          D                        G
God…I  want to believe..in you.. But I know ..    I’m runnin out of time
  
God….do just one thing for me…please…show me a sign


Am                                                                                 
Philosophy never spoke to my soul.. Theology left me out in the cold
Doubs..they’ve haunted me for years  G            
I’ve not seen a miracle..never read one parable to ever find out Am G
What life’s all about  I’m askin you     F      hey God


Am     D                  G          Am                    D                        G
God…I want to believe..in you..but I know ..I’m runnin out of time
  
God….do just one thing for me…please…show me a sign


hey God

If you take time to take a listen; please say "Howdy" and leave a comment.  Hopefully, it'll be a kind one; thank you.

And - many thanks to my main studio/engineer guys who have helped make these songs have a life (and all the Nashville Cats!):
Gerry Peters at Midi Magic Studio - Nashville, TN; and 
Craig Blaine at JCB Music - San Diego, CA.
The photos I'm not in, I took... 
with my little old Kodak EasyShare C300; imagine that.
(except for those already-published).

Got a bunch of songs...some have been hanging around a long time; some not too old; a few new ones.
Was a member at TAXI - Independent A&R Company - (www.taxi.com)
June 1, 2015 - May 31, 2019.

It's about the journey; and I've met some wonderful musicians and folks along the way.  I'm grateful for the gift of music, and all the music that has been the soundtrack of this thing called life on Earth.
