Lyrics:

Smokin' around the Christmas tree
It's a Christmas coughity cough
Mistletoe hung where you can see
That smoke begin to lift off
Smokin' around the Christmas tree
Ohhh let that spirit ring
Later I'll have some ham and pie and cough up everything!

You will get a detrimental feeling when you hear
Coughing, hacking, choking by the tree
Sounds like Krampus is croaking

Smokin around the Christmas tree have a nicotine holiday
I look right behind there's a fiery heat
It's a Cigarette Christmas doomsday

Smokin around the Christmas tree have a nicotine holiday
I look right behind there's a fiery heat 
It's a cigarette Christmas doomsday!

You will get a detrimental feeling when you hear
Coughing, hacking, choking by the tree
Sounds like Krampus is croaking

Smokin' around the Christmas tree have a nicotine holiday
Giving my lungs a jolly puff In the New old fashioned way

Smokin' Around The Christmas Tree (Bubba Bronchitis Bill)

This song sprung out of a practice session, with the lyrics, especially the first verse, just tumbling out.
It's another love song for my partner.  Can't seem to stop writing them, but that's how much she means to me.  Will be more worried if I stop writing them.  
Hope you enjoy it.

Rapid Rivers (Blazing Across My Mind)

Jazz Blues saxophone 🎷 version of the song of the same name. 
Lyrics by Sas. Song done as a duet .

-A Man Like Me 

[Verse 1- Duet]
I wear my scars like a badge of pride
Strong on the surface but soft inside
A heart that bends but won’t ever break
An old school soul in a world that’s fake

[Verse 2-Duet]
You hold the door and you fight the fight
But you cry alone in the dead of night
Fearless but feel every beat
Walking the line where past and present meet

[Chorus -Duet]
oh a Man like me you’ve never known
Built from fire yet carved from stone
Loyal to love but I crave to be free
You’ll never meet a man like me, 
A man like ME.

[Verse 3 -Duet]
You dance to rhythms the world loves
A modern man with a touch of old
You wear your flaws like a tailored suit
Searching for roots in a world uproot

[Bridge -Duet]
I’m a paradox I’m the calm and the storm
A classic heart in a brand-new form
I’ll give you laughter I’ll give you pain
I’m the sun and the falling rain

[Chorus -Duet]
Oh a Man like him you’ve never known
Built from fire yet carved from stone
Loyal to love but craves to be free
You’ll never meet a man like him.

[Chorus -Final-Duet]

You will never meet a man like, 
oh a man, a man like me.

Man_Like_Me

Hush now and close your tired eyes,
Will you dream of all you heard and saw today,
Will you rest long and easy behind your quite eyes,
- and dream of all the things that keep you safe. 
 
I’m sorry baby there are things I can’t do for you, 
Somethings you’ll have to learn on all your own, 
But if all you need is love and warmth all around you, 
Your mum and I have plenty here for you .

When I close my tired eyes, 
Will you tell me that I’m good enough for you, 
Will you tell me that I done enough to deserve your love,
to deserve the time I get to spend with you. 

I’m sorry baby you weren't born into money, 
I hope that never has to mean much to you, 
If all you need is love and song all around you, 
You mum and I will write them all for you. 

Hush now rest your eyes, 
We’ll be there by your side, 

What do you see behind your tired eyes my baby 
what do you see behind your mothers eyes my baby 

Will you worry like me about the things that you just cannot change, 
I hope you grow up all the wiser for the things we’ve done instead,

I’m sorry baby you weren't born into money, 
I hope that never has to mean much to you, 
If all you need is love and warmth all around you, 
You mum and I will give it all to you.

Tired Eyes

[Verse 1]
I had a wish I was a country star,
Reaching out with my music so far.
My wish I was a man with a golden guitar,
Playing for a big crowd near and far.
Singing out my songs high and loud,
Feeling every note, standing proud.

[Verse 2]
Oh momma in heaven, I made you proud,
I got a tour bus now and a cheering crowd.
My dreams came true, the nights feel right,
With neon signs and big stage light.
I give it all, from my soul and heart,
This country road was meant from the start.

[pre Chorus]
Ohoo momma, I'm a big country star,
Reachin’ hearts with my golden guitar.

(chorus)
Oh momma in heaven, I hope you see,
Your little boy made it — that boy was me.
Got a tour bus now, and dreams came true,
Yes momma, I’m a star — all thanks to you.

(solo mellanspel)

[Verse 3]
Oh momma, everyone loves me and they sing along,
Just like you said — truth lives in a song.
Lots of love from me, and a blessing above,
I chase my dreams with a heart full of love.

[Bridge]
There were days I felt small, lost on the way,
But your voice kept me strong, come what may.
Now every road, every mile I roam,
Feels like it’s leading me straight back home.

[pre Chorus]
Ohoo momma, I'm a big country star,
Reachin’ hearts with my golden guitar.

(chorus)
Oh momma in heaven, I hope you see,
Your little boy made it — that boy was me.
Got a tour bus now, and dreams came true,
Yes momma, I’m a star — all thanks to you.

Oh momma in heaven, I hope you see,
Your little boy made it — that boy was me.
Got a tour bus now, and dreams came true,
Yes momma, I’m a star — all thanks to you.

ohoo  yes momma all thanks to you.

Momma, I’m a Country Star now

We Know Somebody Knows

Somebody Knows.

Raw and heartfelt rap track about longing for a full family.
Empty chairs symbolize hope and loss.
Urban color scheme sets a lonely mood.
Lyrics dig into childhood absence and resilience.
Dreaming of both a mother and father by your side.

Both of Them

Verse 1]
I was born where the red clay bleeds,
Under small-town skies and hickory trees.
Mama’s Bible, Daddy’s work-worn hands,
Taught me how to pray, taught me how to stand.

[Pre-Chorus]
And every mile of gravel road,
Carries the weight of stories told.

[Chorus]
I was raised on holy dirt, boots in the dust,
Faith in my blood and steel in my trust.
Fire in my spirit, thunder in my word,
Yeah, I was raised on holy dirt.

[Verse 2]
Sunday mornings, church bells rang,
Friday nights the guitars sang.
Between the cross and a barroom fight,
I found my truth in the neon light.

[Pre-Chorus]
Some call it sin, some call it grace,
But it’s written all across my face.

[Chorus]
I was raised on holy dirt, boots in the dust,
Faith in my blood and steel in my trust.
Fire in my spirit, thunder in my word,
Yeah, I was raised on holy dirt.

[Bridge]
Every scar’s a hymn, every bruise a psalm,
This outlaw soul still leans on God.
A little rough around the edges, sure—
But my roots run deep in holy dirt.

[Final Chorus / Outro]
I was raised on holy dirt, wild and unbroken,
Every prayer I’ve said was truth unspoken.
From the cradle to the grave, one thing’s for sure—
I’ll die the same way I was born...
Raised on holy dirt.

raised on holy dirt

“Thank God, I Took That Chance” unfolds inside a glowing country dance hall where courage meets destiny. He’s watched her from across the floor, convincing himself to try again after so many rejections. The guitars begin softly, echoing his heartbeat as he rises from his chair, hat in hand, nerves trembling but hope alive. Her smile cuts through the noise, an unspoken invitation that pulls him closer with every step. The rhythm swells as their hands meet and time stands still beneath the lights. Every turn of the dance becomes a release, a celebration of trust and timing. His voice tells the story of every man who’s ever taken one last chance on love. The band drives the emotion home with warmth and grit, wrapping the listener in a moment that feels timeless. When the night fades, all that remains is gratitude and the memory of that first dance. “Thank God, I Took That Chance” is proof that risk and love belong together.

Lyrics
Thank God, I Took that Chance

I’m sitting in the corner watching
You’re across the dance floor looking back at me
You are sending the signals, I’m building the nerve
Convincing myself it is not going to hurt (I am, ah hah)

Too many times, I have got up said “how about it” (I have)
To get that grin and hear “Get Outta here”
But you keep looking, you keep sending those signals
I’m going to try again, put on a brave front
Gonna put my hand out, see if we can get you to dance
Gotta do it, those signals you are sending have me in a trance (oooh yeah)
My heart is pounding, you haven’t said a word, gotta get that dance

On my way now, you’re staring me down (I am trembling)
Did I see a smile as I got close, I did
My eyes are now wide open, as I put my hand out (ah hah)
As you rise and I look into your beautiful brown eyes
All those rejections were waiting for this correction (oooh yeah yeee hah)

Now we are dancing, I can’t remember the past at all
You’re in my arms and we are getting on down (loving the night)
My heart is pumping as we dance on through the night
Not going to let you go, this feels so right (ooooh yeah yeee hah)

We sit on down and talk all night
Don’t know where the words come from (I’m not that type”)
But with you beside me, I’ve lost sight of who I was
There is no doubt that this was meant to be
I feel like I have been set free (and I remember how)

Too many times before, I have got up said “how about it” (I have)
To get that grin and hear “Get Outta here”
But you kept looking, you kept sending those signals
I tried again, put on a brave front
I put my hand out, and you wanted to dance
From the time your hand was in mine you had me in a trance (oooh yeah)
My heart is still pounding, thank god I took that chance

Thank God I took that chance ooooh yeah oooh yeah ooooh yeah ooooh yeah ooooh yeah oooh yeah ooooh yeah
