Cows come home
M. Shelton
Verse 1-
I think…you’re pretty as a peach
Refreshing as a glass of sweet, iced tea
Whenever I think about you and me
I’m happy as a squirrel underneath an oak tree!

CHORUS
I said what I meant
My eyes saw you, that’s as far as they went
You and I are in a field all our own
Yeah, I told you all along I’m gonna love ya till the cows come home

Verse 2-
I know that I’m preachin’ to the choir
You know we’re wrapped tighter than barbed wire
Nobody can shake a stick at our life
Our love’s as strong as the corn is high

CHORUS
I said what I meant
My eyes saw you, that’s as far as they went
You and I are in a field all our own
Yeah, I told you all along I’m gonna love ya till the cows come home

Red Dirt Blues

Most of it was Texas!
M. Shelton

[Verse 1]
Took a little road trip, they said, “ it’ll be fun”  
I headed down south.  One truck, and a couple buds
Crossed the Lone Star state line, ten miles in, stopped at a watering hole
There was a band onstage playing ol George Strait and, I saw a yellow rose
She was a Redhead cutie dancing by the bar. But her jealous ex-bo wasn't on my radar

[CHORUS 1]
It ain’t my fault. I’m in trouble with the law
Yeah, sure, I got caught.
I couldn’t resist her southern drawl
If you really wanna know where to place the blame, I tell ya, I been framed
Maybe I was reckless,
Most of it was Texas. 

[Verse 2]
Sitting in the courthouse, attorney said, “we’ll soon be done.
No need to worry, I know the judge. I’ll get ya out of here son"
I stood up when I heard “all rise”, I could not believe my eyes
Sitting up there on the bench, was a nametag, guess what it said
That good ol judge had the same last name, as that good ol boy I punched in the face…And I said...

[CHORUS 2]
It ain’t my fault, I’m in trouble with the law
Yeah, sure, I got caught. 
He swung first, everybody saw
If you really wanna know where to place the blame, I tell ya, I been framed
Maybe I was reckless,
Most of it was Texas!!

[Guitar and fiddle instrumental solo]

[BRIDGE]
Now that good ol girl from way back when, visits me in jail and dances again...

[CHORUS 3]
It ain’t my fault! I liked something that I saw
Yeah, sure I got caught, my little red head was worth it all
some of it, a lot of it, most of it was Texas
some of it, a lot of it, most of it…was Texas!! (TEXAS!!)

Most of it was Texas!

Break or a Break Up (Marvin Shelton)

Verse 1
You grabbed your keys, took some things
In such a rush you forgot your ring
Yeah, you left in your truck
leaving nothing of us but the dust
You never cried, never yelled
Didn’t say to just go to Hell…
…So I gotta know, how’s this all gonna go?

CHORUS
Is there a chance we can make up?
Cuz' I don’t want to wake up
Alone in a bed, without you by my side
Are you just out with friends?
Trying on being single for pretends
I just want one more chance to make it right
So, I’m asking you, are we out of love?
Ooooo, Is this a break or a breakup?

Verse 2
Word got out around town
No one’s talking, they just turn around
won’t look me in the eyes
They know something bout you and I
I don’t know where to begin
Can we start over? Is this where we end?
…I just wanna know,(I just wanna know) 
how’s this all gonna go?

CHORUS
Is there a chance we can make up?
Cuz' I don’t want to wake up
Alone in a bed, without you by my side
Are you just out with friends?
Trying on being single for pretends
I just want one more chance to make it right
So, I’m asking you, are we out of love?
Ooooo, Is this a break or a breakup?

CHORUS 2
Is there a chance we can make up?
Cuz' I don’t want to wake up
Alone in a bed, I need you by my side
I promise I’ll love you
This is something we’ll get through
We’ve only got one chance to get this right
So, I’m asking you, are we out of love?
Ooooo, Is this a break or a breakup?
Is this a break...or a breakup?

Break or a Break up

An RC Cola and a chocolate moon pie. Yeah, touching the rim was gettin' high. When a car's back seat wasn't a place to set. Yeah, it's the little things, You Never Forget!

You Never Forget

Ain't It Fine Today

So much trouble

"Charlie Kirk" is a somber yet defiant tribute, written in the wake of his assassination on September 10, 2025. More than a name, Charlie Kirk was a bridge — between youth and tradition, silence and defiance, free speech and those who tried to suppress it.

This song carries his memory in the spirit of Appalachian Americana Roots Jamband tradition, blending the grit of Southern Rock with the storytelling of a protest ballad. It honors him as a father-voice to a generation, a fighter who exposed the agenda in classrooms, and a symbol of how words can ignite a movement.

"Charlie Kirk" isn’t just a memorial — it’s a declaration that the fire cannot be silenced. They took the man, but they can’t kill the truth.
