My Hero in Heaven

[Verse 1]
He’d say, “Son, don't look for silver linings, just give back the good in you,
Leave the past in the past,” and follow the golden rule
“Life’s full of curveballs, swing big when you can,
And when you strike out, well, boy, that’s just part of the plan.”
We’d sit on the porch swing, carvin' dreams out of the air,
He said, “Grab the wheel of fate; don’t let life leave you there.”

[Pre-Chorus]
Now he’s rackin’ stars with a cosmic cue,
Tellin' tall tales to the man in the moon.

[Chorus] 
He’s not here to sand down my rough edges,
But I still hear his voice when I’m hangin' on life's ledges. 
There’s no hotline to heaven when I’m searching for clues,
But I’m dialing on faith, got nothin’ to lose. 
So when life’s a storm and my strength's cavin' in,
I raise a glass to my hero in heaven.


[Verse 2] 
I drive his old truck, dust coats the worn leather seats, 
Radio hummin' his words: "Boy, don’t race defeat." 
His cracked leather Stetson’s still perched on the dash, 
Like he’s ridin’ shotgun, weavin' jokes from the past. 
He’d say, “Life’s like good whiskey, smooth, but still burns,”
 And each mile I drive,  feel him 'round every turn.

[Pre-Chorus] 
Now he’s rackin’ stars with a cosmic cue
Telling tall tales to the man in the moon.

[Chorus] 
He’s not here to sand down my rough edges,
But I still hear his voice when I’m hangin' on life's ledges. 
There’s no hotline to heaven when I’m searching for clues,
But I’m dialing on faith, got nothin’ to lose. 
So when life’s a storm and my strength's cavin' in,
I raise a glass to my hero in heaven.


[Bridge]
 Here’s to the lessons, the grit, and the grace,
To the nights he’d say, "Son, life’s not a race."
I’ve stumbled and faltered, but his words pull me through,
Like the song of a ghost , tellin' me what to do.

[Pre-Chorus]
Now he’s rackin’ stars with a cosmic cue,
Telling tall tales to the man in the moon.

[Chorus] 
He’s not here to sand down my rough edges,
But I still hear his voice when I’m hangin' on life's ledges. 
There’s no hotline to heaven when I’m searching for clues,
But I’m dialing on faith, got nothin’ to lose. 
So when life’s a storm and my strength's cavin' in,
I raise a glass to my hero in heaven.


[Outro] 
With every mile I drive, he’s the wisdom in my grin, 
To my hero in heaven, still leadin' me 'round the bend.

This was a fun song I created for my co-worker.

Verse]
Moose got up with the chickens, out before the sun,
Said, "I'm a grown ass man, I gotta get things done."
He knew the early bird, always gets the worm,
So he grabbed his boots and hat, ready for the turn.

[Verse 2]
If a frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his tail,
Moose laughed as he rode the fence down the trail.
Living by his sayings, every single day,
Can't fix a leaky roof when the sun is on display.

[Chorus]
Hey there Moose, you're the talk of the town,
Driving that Tundra, buzzing all around.
With your country wisdom and your southern charm,
You're holding your mouth right, ain't doing no harm.

[Verse 3]
He'd say when pigs fly,  I'll drive a mini van,
I drive a real pick up I'm a grown ass man
Moose and his tales, as tall as the pines,
Living life like a legend, on cloud nine.

[Verse 4]
In the evening when the cows come home, he'll feed his forest friends, by the barn, on his farm, he lays out corn for them,  Moose likes to watch the critters, it always makes him smile.

[Chorus]
Hey there Moose, you're the talk of the town,
Driving that Tundra, buzzing all around.
With your country wisdom and your southern charm,
You're holding your mouth right, ain't doing no harm.

Intro (the fall)

You Should Have Said
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

[instrumental]

I forgot to say I love you
It never crossed my mind
It was so very clear to me
How could you be so blind

Just because I never said it
and because I was not there
Because I never called
You must have known I cared

Who else would have ignored you
Who else but me would try
I knew that you were sure
That you saw it in my eyes

[bridge]

But I guess it all makes sense
I never noticed you were gone
Your closet was all empty
You did not answer your phone

You really should have told me
You could have said something
Had I known that you weren't happy
I would have bought that ring

[instrumental]

But I guess it all makes sense
I never noticed you were gone
Your closet was all empty
You did not answer your phone

You really should have told me
You could have said something
Had I known that you weren't happy
I would have bought that ring

[instrumental]

[outro]

You Should Have Said

[Verse 1]
Lit a smoke from your dresser drawer
Last flame in a house don’t burn no more
Swore I’d leave, then stood out back
With a match and a memory I can’t unpack

[Verse 2]
You said love don’t count ‘less it’s hard
I threw hands in the neighbor’s yard
You were cryin’, door half shut
Truth’s a dog that don’t come when it’s called, sure ‘nuff

[Chorus]
I’m good at leavin’, bad at the rest
Pack a bag quicker than I can confess
You gave a home, I gave a ghost
And I haunt myself more than most
Yeah I run circles, don’t run far
Find myself where the wrecks still are
You were a lesson I let break
Just another beautiful mistake

[Verse 3]
Coat full of tabs, boots full of miles
Voice like gravel, grin like trial
Ain’t a liar, but I sure don’t tell
The parts of me that don’t age well

[Chorus]
I’m good at leavin’, worse at stayin’
Prayin’ quiet when I should be sayin’
You were fire I smothered in doubt
Lit you up just to put you out
Yeah I run reckless, never clean
Left you standin’ in the might-have-been
You were a shot I didn’t take
Just another beautiful mistake

[Bridge]
Ain’t no saint and I ain’t mean
Just scared to fix what I might’ve seen
Cracks in walls I never paint
You were right—I was halfway faint

[Final Chorus]
I’m good at leavin’, Lord knows I ache
You were the one I should’ve faced
I’d trade every road, every mile I fake
For one more beautiful mistake

Good at Leavin'
