Dream of Me

DRIVIN’ NAILS IN MY COFFIN
Lyrics & Music By

Copyright:2025

All the years of struggles, we fought one by one.
The challenge we conquered  raising daughters and sons.
Your new homes in heaven Babe I miss you so,
I'm drivin nails in my coffin, so the quicker I'll go.

CHORUS
Another bottle of Kesslers and an 8 ball of coke,
another case of Bud light and a carton of smokes.
Another joint to get high when I'm feeling low,
I'm drivin nails in my coffin, so the quicker I'll go.

A spike of rum in my coffee is my morning cheer.
I'm hammered by mem'ries I'm pounding down tears.
Since the hen left the hen house this old rooster don't crow,
I'm drivin nails in my coffin, so the quicker I'll go.

CHORUS
Another bottle of Kesslers and an 8 ball of coke,
another case of Bud light and a carton of smokes.
Another joint to get high when I'm feeling low,
I'm drivin nails in my coffin, so the quicker I'll go.
I'm drivin nails in my coffin, so the quicker I'll go.

BRIDGE
I've never been a drinker,
I'm a deadly drinkin' fool.
I've never been a stoner 
I'm a ghostly token ghoul.

CHORUS
Another bottle of Kesslers and an 8 ball of coke,
another case of Bud light and a carton of smokes.
Another joint to get high when I'm feeling low,
I'm drivin nails in my coffin, so the quicker I'll go.

Tag
I'm drivin nails in my coffin, so the quicker I'll go.
Drivin' nails in my coffin ..... so the quicker I'll go.

Nails in My Coffin

I ALREADY KNEW

CHORUS
Don't tell me it's over, I already know.
Don't tell me your leaving, just pack up and go.
Don't sit by my side, and tell me your blue,
Don't tell me it's over, I already knew.

I can tell by your sigh, and the tear in your eye,
I hear the  hurt  in your voice, it has left me no choice.
I'm gonna miss your sweet smile, that will burn for a while, 
All the  trust  has been  lost, now my heart pays the cost.

CHORUS
Don't tell me it's over, I already know.
Don't tell me your leaving, just pack up and go.
Don't sit by my side, and tell me your blue,
Don't tell me it's over, I already knew.

INSTRUMENTAL

There's things on your mind, my gosh I'm not  blind,   
I can see you need space,  by the look on your face.
Here's some butterfly wings, while you think things through.
Honey I'll set you free, I hope you come back to me.

CHORUS
Don't tell me it's over, I already know.
Don't tell me your leaving, just pack up and go.
Don't sit by my side, and tell me your blue,
Don't tell me it's over, I already knew.



TAG ENDING
Don't tell me it's over .......... I already knew.

INSTRUMENTAL FADE

I Already Knew



AIN'T WELCOME ANYMORE
Lyrics & Music By
JR Greely Copyright: 1992

CHORUS
Your drinkin' days 
ain't welcome anymore
so don't,
you come bangin' on my door
When life has got you down 
go find your friends uptown
Jim Beam and Jack Daniels
will always be around.


You used to wine and dine me, 
and flirt your eyes of blue.
But now that damned 'ol bottle, 
gets all your coochie coos.
I'm hurt from bein' lonely, 
with a migraine headache too.
You're like a bad hangover, 
I'm sick and tired of you.

CHORUS
Your drinkin' days 
ain't welcome anymore,
so don't, 
you come bangin' on my door.
When life has got you down, 
go find your friends uptown.
Jim Beam and Jack Daniels, 
will always be around.

You used to call me precious 
and love me all night long,
Now whiskey is your woman 
the bourbon keeps you gone.
Say good Bye to Johnnie Walker
Send Captain Morgan out to sea.
Your drinkin' days ain't welcome
If ya wanna stay with me.

CHORUS
Your drinkin' days 
ain't welcome anymore,
so don't, 
you come bangin' on my door.
When life has got you down, 
go find your friends uptown.
Jim Beam and Jack Daniels, 
will always be around.

TAG ENDING
Your drinkin’ days ....... ain’t welcome anymore.

Your Drinking Days Ain't Welcome Anymore

THEY NEVER SAID GOOD-BYE
Lyrics & Music By
JR Greely
Copyright: 1991


A hot and humid July night,
My Dad had slipped away.
I never did quite figure out
why things had gone astray.
The thing that hurt the most,
and put tear drops in my eyes.
Were the words he left unspoken.
Dad never said good-bye.


My Momma worked a factory job,
she tried to make ends meet.
I never had the finer things,
like the kids from down the street.
She left with out a word,
with no rhyme or reason why.
It isn't all the things I missed,
Mom never said good-bye.

CHORUS
There was no card or letter,
no call on the telephone.
Did they run with other lovers,
did they need time on their own.
Was it something I have said or done,
there's many questions why,
I wish I had the answers,
but they never said good-bye.

BRIDGE-MALE
We need to have a Mom and Dad,
cuz each one plays a part,

BRIDGE-FEMALE
To comfort, love, and polish,
a little corner of our hearts.

FINAL CHORUS
There was no card or letter,
no call on the telephone.
Just broken hearts and promises,
is all that's left of home.
We need to have a Mom and Dad,
cuz each one plays a part,
To comfort, love, polish,
a little corner of our hearts.

TAG 
We need to have a Mom and Dad,
cuz each one plays a part ..........
To comfort, love, and polish.
a little corner of our hearts.




They Never Said Goodbye

SORROW ON THE ROCKS
Lyrics and Music By
JR Greely Copyright:2025


The screen door is hanging off the hinges,
The roof has been leaking when it rains,
This house is colder than it once was,
I can feel chilly wind thru the panes.

Our trinkets and treasures are memories,
Collecting cobwebs and dust on a shelf,
All the music I hear is haunting,
Oh how life has changed here by myself.

Chorus
The ice cubes in my drink are crackling,
From the 90 proof teardrops I’ve cried,
Down by the river where we married,
You’ll find my sorrow on the rocks.

The perfume you wore no longer lingers,
Our picture hangs crooked on the wall,
The paint is now cracked and blistered,
I long to hear your footsteps in the hall.

The memories made in these empty rooms,
Whispers of laughter now a distant sound,
Every shadow dances in the twilight,
And I’m lost in the silence that’s all around.

Chorus
The ice cubes in my drink are crackling,
From the 90 proof teardrops I’ve cried,
Down by the river where we married,
You’ll find my sorrow on the rocks.

Bridge
The snow is falling on our roses,
The tulips ain’t blooming red and blue,
The songbirds ain’t singing in the treetops,
It’s been sorrow on the rocks without you.

Chorus
The ice cubes in my drink are crackling,
From the 90 proof teardrops I’ve cried,
Down by the river where we married,
You’ll find my sorrow on the rocks.

TAG
Down by the river where your buried
I close my eyes, I can still see your smile
Down by the river where we married
you'll find my sorrow on the rocks.
