One of a Kind Best Friend
by Jenn Katusha and Jeff Oxford

Verse 1
High school days
You bold, me quiet and shy
The teacher had lipstick on her teeth
We laughed till we cried
How we didn’t get in trouble
Is a mystery
We dodged a bullet or two
We had fun making our history
It’s a miracle we came through

Chorus
Through thick and thin
Through thick and thicker 
No one’s by my side quicker
You’re my day or night 
No-questions-asked- 
With-ya-til-the-messy-end
You’re my no matter what drop-everything- 
What’s-mine is-yours lean on me
You’re my BFF 
One of a kind best friend 

Verse 2
Summer nights, windows rolled down
Turn it up, it’s our favorite song 
Private jokes, a pack of smokes 
Laughing when we sang it wrong 
Nowhere to go, all night to get there
Talkin’ bout crushes and rules that suck
Driving by exes honking the horn
Flat tire just our luck

Bridge
Time’s gone by, the years sure did fly
We have nicer cars, but deeper scars
The map shows miles, but I still smile
because…

One Of A Kind Best Friend

Just Like This
lyrics and melody by Jennifer Katusha
music by James Balserak
vocals: uncredited

Summer day top down sand in my hair
I look over and see you there
One hand on the wheel the other on my thigh 
My oh my
You’re just like that big ball up in the sky
Shining down on me sending shivers up my spine 
Giving me a sun-kissed glow
Giving me wiggles in my toes

Chorus
I wish every day was just like this
Moving so slow that nothing gets missed
So still you hear hearts beating
Swear you feel the earth breathing
Living in nothing but the present
Floating on a cloud wondering where the time went
If I had just one wish
I’d wish every day was just like this

Just like just like this
Just like just like this
If I had just one wish
I’d wish every day was just like this

These days everybody’s busy buzzing around
Never looking up always looking down
Thinking ‘bout who’s right and who’s wrong
Instead of singing love songs
Worrying about yesterday and tomorrow
Leaving their insides feeling hollow
I wish they could stand in my shoes right now
Feel so high they’d never want to come down

Chorus
I wish every day was just like this
Moving so slow that nothing gets missed
So still you hear hearts beating
You swear you feel the earth breathing
Living in nothing but the present
Floating on a cloud wondering where the time went
If had just one wish
I’d wish every day was just like this

Bridge
Where ya going so fast?
It’s all gonna rush right past
Leaving your head spinning round and round and round 
Where ya going so fast?
It’s all gonna rush right past
If you don’t slow it down, slow it down, baby slow it all down
Ah-ah (exhale)
Ah-ah (exhale)


Chorus
I wish every day was just like this
Moving so slow that nothing gets missed
So still you hear hearts beating
You swear you feel the earth breathing
Living in nothing but the present
Floating on a cloud wondering where the time went
If had just one wish
I’d wish every day was just like this

Just like just like this
Just like just like this
If I had just one wish
I’d wish every day was just like this

Just like just like this
Just like just like this
If I had just one wish
I’d wish every day was just like this

Just Like This

Wild One
by Jennifer Katusha,  Paul Riefert and Jeff Oxford

Fourth in line out of nine
Father’s little blue-eyed brother
Just a boy when you lost your mother 
There wasn’t a good time that
You didn’t chase down
Always lived life in full color

And when the pain came
Instead of going insane
You shaped metal with your hands
And the pieces that you made 
Live on to this day 
Helping us all to understand

Chorus
Curious creator
Free spirit, rule breaker
You sure did know how to have fun
Storyteller
What-the-heller
Wild one

You went where the wind blew 
Never one to make plans
Threw ideas up in the air
Just let them fall where they’d land
Traveling the globe
Gathering tales to be told 
Bringing them back home 
Where you’d spin them into gold 

And when the pain came
Instead of going insane
You shaped metal with your hands
And the pieces that you made 
Live on to this day 
Helping us all to understand

Chorus
Curious creator
Free spirit, rule breaker
You sure did know how to have fun
Storyteller
What-the-heller
Wild one

Bridge
When all that you tried to forget from 69 reared up and took its toll
You held on for dear life to your inner child and just wouldn’t let go

Chorus 2
Curious creator
Dream maker, none braver
You showed us all how life was done 
Storyteller
What-the-heller
Wild one
Oooo you’re a wild one

Outro
Mmmm mmmm  
Wild one

Wild One

Get After It
Lyrics and melody by Jennifer Katusha
Music by: Andrei Sabko

Pre-Chorus
Here comes a tidal wave like no other
Better run for cover

Chorus
Get after it get after it
Pick yourself back up and master it
You’re made of the strongest metal
So don’t you dare choose to settle 
Don’t let them take what’s yours
Bust down all those closed doors
Speak up shake your fists
Don’t ya them let them get away with it

Verse 1
Invisible Dismissible 
That’s how they make you feel 
When all you ever wanted was
To be part of something real 
Since when is love the exception 
Replaced by hate and deception 
When did kind words and honesty 
Become liabilities 

Pre-Chorus
Here comes a tidal wave like no other
Better run for cover 



Chorus
Get after it get after it
Pick yourself back up and master it
You’re made of the strongest metal
So don’t you dare choose to settle 
Don’t let them take what’s yours
Bust down all those closed doors
Speak up shake your fists
Don’t ya let them get away with it


Verse 2
You always give it your all
And this is what you get
No more Mr. Nice guy 
It’s time to make them sweat
Splash paint on their white walls 
Climb the insurmountable 
Show them who can scream louder
Time to hold them accountable

Pre-Chorus
Here comes a tidal wave like no other
Better run for cover


Chorus
Get after it get after it
Pick yourself back up and master it
You’re made of the strongest metal
So don’t you dare choose to settle 
Don’t let them take what’s yours
Bust down all those closed doors
Speak up shake your fists
Don’t you let them get away with it

Get after it, get after it 
Get after it, get after it

Get After It

Verse 1
Sunrise 
Lark song 
You sleeping next to me
It won’t be long
Here it comes 
The best part
Your eyes open
There goes my heart

Pre-chorus
You’re Fireworks on the Fourth
Compass needle due north
A guitar that’s found just the right chords
I’m a bird on the wing
Church bells as they ring
So happy that all I can do is sing

Chorus
I luh luh luh luh luh luh luh luh - love you
Yes I do
I’m so luh luh luh luh luh luh luh luh -lucky you…
love me too




Verse 2 
Through the 
Window 
Lighting up your face
A golden moon glow 
On each star
The same wish
That we will 
Always feel just like this


Pre-chorus
You’re fireworks on the Fourth
Compass needle due north
A guitar that’s found just the right chords
I’m a bird on the wing
Church bells as they ring
So happy that all I can do is sing

Chorus
I luh luh luh luh luh luh luh luh - love you
Yes I do
I’m so luh luh luh luh luh luh luh luh -lucky you…
love me too

Bridge
When time takes what it does
And mirrors don’t show what once was
When all we used to know 
Turns silver and turns slow
When lines tell stories on our skin 
My heart will be right where it’s always been 

Chorus
I luh luh luh luh luh luh luh luh - love you
Yes I do
I’m so luh luh luh luh luh luh luh luh -lucky you…
love me too

Outro
Ooooooooo
Ooooooooo
I luh luh luh love you
Oooooooooooooooo
You love me too

A walk on the beach
A mountain peak
An autumn leaf falling down
My father’s hands
A newborn lamb
Long auburn strands blowin’ round

Pre-Chorus
If you gathered all my favorite things
Took a big red bow and wrapped them up                    
They still wouldn’t make me smile
Like I do when I feel your love


Chorus
When you're crying I’ll make you laugh
When you’re laughing I’ll join right in
And when you scream I can’t do this again
I’ll tell you yes you can
So when you need me I’ll be there
Dial my number and let it ring
I’ll listen for as long as it takes
For you… 
I’d do… 
anything

Verse 2
A sky of blue
Telling the truth
A dog or two for company 
A Christmas Eve 
A trick up my sleeve
The minor keys to make me feel

Pre-Chorus
If you gathered all my favorite things
Took a big red bow and wrapped them up                    
They still wouldn’t make me smile
Like I do when I feel your love


Chorus
When you're crying I’ll make you laugh
And when you’re laughing I’ll join right in
When you scream I can’t do this again
I’ll tell you yes you can
So when you need me I’ll be there
Dial my number and let it ring
I’ll listen for as long as it takes
For you…    
I’d do… 
anything

Verse 3
Waking to birdsong
Feeling like I belong
A child’s picture hand-drawn just for me
A chalk white birch tree
The buzz of a bumble bee
But oh, how you love me






Anything

Verse 1
One day when it was raining
And I was busy complaining
‘Bout the gray and the clouds
and wet that was coming down
You said think of all that comes with it
Remember what is, not what isn’t 
Then you tilted your head like you do
Said, rain brings the flowers you love… and I love you

Chorus
You have a way of finding the gold
Bringing us doubters in from the cold
Making the ordinary… extraordinary
All the good we could do 
If we saw the world just like you


Verse 2 
When time comes collecting
And I start forgetting
The names and the faces
The people and places
I hope one thing I keep
Is all that you taught me
I’ll send the rest off with a smile
Knowing it was mine for a while

Chorus
You have a way of finding the gold
Bringing us doubters in from the cold
Making the ordinary...extraordinary 
All the good we could do
If we saw the world just like you


Bridge
When I lose heart, you help me to see
The whole world so differently
You show me better view
A new lens to see life through


Chorus
You have a way of finding the gold
Bringing us doubters in from the cold
Making the ordinary... extraordinary 
All the good we could do
If we saw the world just like you


Outro
If we saw the world just like you

Verse 1
Top down Johnny Cash on the radio
Don’t need a map telling me where to go
Up before the world on Highway 87
Open road, you on my mind, must be heaven

Chorus
Leaving it all behind 
Going where all I see is sky
Where everything I need 
Is within arm’s reach
And all I hear is water and the wind 
And I can breathe again

Na na na na 
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na



Verse 2
I’m all done working nine-to-five
Every damn day ‘til my brain is fried - ‘bout time
Where they ask:  "How much money can you make and how fast?"
No thanks!     I’ll pass!


Chorus
Leaving it all behind 
Goin’ where all I see is sky
Where everything I need 
Is within arm’s reach
And all I hear is water and the wind 
And I can breathe again


Bridge
Gonna do things my way
Go where work feels like play
Gonna carve out my own path
Do what I want, not have to ask
Pack your bag, plan to stay
If you’re ever up my way
I won’t be hard to find
I’ll be the one with the biggest smile 


Chorus
Leaving it all behind 
Going where all I see is sky
Where everything I need 
Is within arm’s reach
And all I hear is water and the wind 
And I can breathe again
Yeah!

Stay Here Slow

Verse 1
On days like these
When life takes me to my knees
The thing that helps most
Is having you close
You put things back in order
Tear down all the walls around my borders
Talk me off the ledges
Soften all my rough edges

Pre-chorus
You always tell me
If I call, you’ll come runnin’
Please come and dig me out -
Of this hole I’m stuck in

Chorus
Don’t think twice, don’t even pack
I need you now, I need you fast
I can’t wait to put the world on hold  
Get here quick and then  
Stay here slow
baby stay here slow
mmmmmmm

Verse 2
You’ll pull into the station
Be in the window wavin’
You’ll smile at me, and then
I’ll start to breathe again
Vinyl playin’ good music
You’ll hold me as I lose it
Tell stories of the past  
Until we both start to laugh

Pre-chorus
You always tell me
If I call, you’ll come runnin’
Please come and dig me out
Of this hole I’m stuck in…

Chorus
Don’t think twice, don’t even pack
I need you now, I need you fast
I can’t wait to put the whole world on hold 
Get here quick and
Stay here slow

Bridge
This time 
you saved me
But if the shoe was on the other foot
You know, right where I’d be

Chorus
Don’t think twice, don’t even pack
I need you now, I need you fast
I can’t wait to put the whole world on hold 
Get here quick and 
Stay here slow

Ohhhh, yeah
Oooooooo  
Baby stay here slow

Stay Here Slow

I Know I Would’ve Loved You
by Jennifer Katusha and Kevin Rooney
Vocals: uncredited

Verse 1
You were number 4 out of 5
Always up for a good time
Lived like you had nothing to lose
Deep down I think maybe you knew
32 was all you were gonna get
So you lived life wild with no regrets
If you were at a party everyone came
And everyone always knew your name

Pre-chorus
I look at your picture every once in a while
Those sky blue eyes and that movie-star smile

Chorus
I bet you would have laughed out loud
If you caught me breaking the rules
You’d wink and say that’s my girl
And keep it between us two 
You’d talk about the best days you’d ever had
Telling the jokes that always make me laugh
You were the one I never knew
But I know I would've loved you

Verse 2
I sure do love it when
I hear stories from your friends
My favorite one that was ever told
Was me dancing on your feet at two years old
I find myself thinkin’ about
How much life would be different now
If you had never gone out that night
If you had never taken that drive

Chorus
I bet you would have laughed out loud
If you caught me breaking the rules
You’d wink and say that’s my girl
And keep it between us two 
You’d talk about the best days you’d ever had
Hold me tight when I was feelin’ sad
You were the one I never knew
But I know I would've loved you

Bridge
With the sound of an engine revving
Thundering through a small town
I know you're flying down those streets of gold
But if you were here right now


Chorus
I bet you would have laughed out loud
If you caught me breaking the rules
You’d wink and say that’s my girl
And keep it between us two 
You’d talk about the best days you’d ever had
Tell me how much you loved being my dad
You were the one I never knew
But I know I would 've loved you

Outro
The one I never knew
And I like to think
You would have loved me too

I Know I Would've Loved You

Verse 1
I love watching you sleep
Each morning as the sun starts to creep
Through the crack in the blinds that need fixin’
Splashin’ light on your cheek like kisses
You look at me and you roll your eyes
Cover your mouth acting like you’re shy
You playfully try to get away
I whisper, “I love you” and you stay

Chorus
Oooooooo
I could go miles and miles
Ooooooo
On one of your sunrise smiles


Verse 2
Wheels on the tarmac, wings in the air
Each place I land I wish you were there
I’m just doing what I have to do
So I can hop the red eye and get back to you
When time and distance wear me thin
I remember your skin on my skin
I let the thought of you take hold
Your face lit up with morning gold

Chorus
Oooooooo
I could go miles and miles
Ooooooo
On one of your sunrise smiles


Bridge
Like coffee in my cup
 I drink you smile up
Like coffee in my cup
 I drink it up


Chorus
Oooooooo
I could go miles and miles
Oooooooo
On one of your sunrise smiles

Keep Love Near

Verse 1
How do you do it?
How do you find 
Just the right words 
Every time? 
Turning waste into wishes 
Rubbish into rhyme
Making hearts swell
And even strong ones cry

Chorus
You wake up all we forget
Settling down pain and regret
You say what we all need to hear
And remind us to keep love near

Verse 2
You melt into moments
Still as midnight
Until you see colors
Revelations of mind
Then you string them like popcorn
On a holiday tree
And hang them up high
For those who look up to see


Chorus
You wake up all we forget
Settling down pain and regret
You say what we all need to hear
And remind us to keep love near 

Bridge
Ahhhh 
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhhh 


Verse 3
How do we thank you
What can we do?
For shifting perspective
So that we can see too
Something tells me
You have all that you need
For you know what matters
All grows from love’s seed

Chorus
You wake up all we forget
Settling down pain and regret
You say what we all need to hear
And remind us to keep love near

Keep Love Near

Verse 1
Too soon she gave her heart to another
Next year she was a brand new mother 
She had one whole minute to grow up
Did it alone, ‘cause no life boat bothered showin’ up

Pre-chorus
Quit school to change diapers and make meals
While other girls her age kissed boys and danced in heels
She ignored all the whispers and the looks
Dug down deep, found what it the strength it took 

Chorus
Part butterfly
Part tiger
I can't tell you how many times I've thought
I want to be just like her
She braves whatever comes
Says she has it better than some
Had to give up all her teenage dreams
That didn’t stop her, ‘cause she loved me
 
Verse 2
She said “Things aren’t as bad as they seem
But they sure aren't like the pictures in the magazines” 
All the carefree smiling faces she sees on all the pages
Don’t come from 12-hour shifts, and waitress wages

Pre-chorus
She had every right to complain, but she wouldn’t
Most in her shoes give up, but she couldn’t
Saved money in a jar for dreams come true
But it never reached the top, ‘cause bills were callin’ too


Chorus
Part butterfly
Part tiger
I can't tell you how many times I've thought
I want to be just like her
She braves whatever comes
Says she has it better than some
Kept going on sheer will and caffeine
All because she loved me


Bridge
All the best parts of me come from her
This anything-for-my-girl survivor
Now, I am strong and I am steady
When hard times come, I’m more than ready


Chorus 2
Part butterfly
Part tiger
I’m doing the best I can 
To be just like her
I’ll brave whatever comes
‘Cause I have it better than some
I’m exactly who I’m supposed to be
All because she loved me

She Loved Me

Verse 1
Come on down I’m workin tonight
Band takes the stage at half past nine
Skip the main door, I’ll slip ya in through the side
No friend of mine is waitin’ in line
Slide on your boots, turn off the TV
I’ll save you a stool, first drink’s on me

Pre-Chorus
No tracks
No filters
No tricks
Just wood, wire, rosin, and bow 
And a mean pair of sticks 

Chorus
Boots and buckles out on the dance floor
The whole crowd shouts: “Play one more!”
Everybody’s having a good time
Cause there ain’t nothing better than LIVE!


Verse 2
Waitress weaving through a sea of denim
People dancing on the bar and tonight she lets ‘em
Lead singer points the mic out at the crowd
Whole place starts shakin’ ‘cause they’re singin’ so loud
Long after the last song plays
The music will still be pumpin’ through their veins



Pre-Chorus 
No smoke and mirrors
No safety net
No AI clone
Just flesh and bone 
And a real voice rockin’ the microphone! 


Chorus
Boots and buckles out on the dance floor
The whole crowd shouts: “Play one more!”
Everybody’s having a good time
Cause there ain’t nothing better than LIVE!


Bridge
To hell with the radio-play the limits
Not keepin’ it to just 3 minutes
The ivories are gonna go to town
Guitar is gonna bring the house down


Chorus
Boots and buckles out on the dance floor
The whole crowd shouts: “Just one more!”
Everybody’s having a good time
Cause there ain’t nothing better than LIVE!
