"Farm Life Givin' All It's Worth" is a warm and appreciative country rock song celebrating the joys and hard work inherent in farm life.  The lyrics paint a vivid picture of rural living, from early mornings in the fields to riding horses, fixing fences, and the close bonds of farming families.  It highlights the physical labor involved ("calloused hands," "toiling in the heat") while also emphasizing the deep connection to the land and the gratitude for its bounty. The song evokes a sense of simple pleasures, community, and the satisfaction of a life lived close to nature, ultimately concluding that farm life, despite its challenges, is a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Every Guy's Dream (Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

Verse
Laying here next to you tonight
While my lucky stars smile from above
How could anything feel so right?
I'm thinking I don't think I'll ever get enough

CHORUS
Even if I won the lottery
You would still mean more to me
So, I’ll be the man you need...me to be
Oh, lady now I finally see 
I’m living in a fantasy 
Yeah, I found me...every guy’s dream

Verse
The reason I stare into your eyes
and my hand reaches for your hand
You are the center of my life
I'm thinking God could not have had a better plan

CHORUS
Even if I won the lottery
You would still mean more to me
So, I’ll be the man you need...me to be
Oh, lady now I finally see 
I’m living in a fantasy 
Yeah, I found me...every guy’s dream

Bridge
You could make any guy's dream come true
But you spend your time giving me all of you!! Yeah!!!!!

CHORUS
I don’t need to know astrology
You’re the only star for me
So, I’ll be the man you need...me to be
Oh, lady now I finally see 
I’m living in a fantasy 
Yeah, I found me...every guy’s dream
I found me...every guy’s dream
Oh, you’re every guy’s dream!!

Every Guy's Dream

if only i were country

finding myself

"Nothing Sets Me Alight" speaks of a season that burns all around, yet leaves the heart untouched.
The heat is everywhere — in the streets, in the air — but no spark finds its way inside.
It’s about the distance between the world’s fire and the quiet cold we sometimes carry within.

Nothing Sets Me Alight

[Verse 1]
I still recall when you were just a young girl
Now time has swept you clean out of my world
Is this ending truly better, or does the anguish still remain?
Did the years make things simpler for you, now there’s no one left to claim?

[Chorus]
We spoke of one true love, one precious life
Though it’s one lonely yearning in this fading light
That love we truly got to share it
It takes its leave, darling, if you forget to treasure it.

[Verse 2]
I confess, I don't know why I loved you so
This old road, I don’t know where I'm meant to go
I often wonder where you wander, deep within your mind
Perhaps you're lost within the fading sands of time.
Did I somehow fail you, or leave a bitter sorrow in your soul?
I guess I thought we’d always shared a love, and now I'm left to truly live without.

[Chorus]
We spoke of one true love, one precious life
Though it’s one lonely yearning in this fading light
That love we truly got to share it
It takes its leave, darling, if you forget to treasure it.

[Bridge]
I once thought love was a refuge, love was my only plea
Love was my whole refuge, love was my guiding sea
But time keeps moving, and I've watched it just enthrall
And I can't keep holding onto what we had
When all that's left now is the hurt.
Oh, this passage of time, it feels too much for me.

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s far too late right now, to pull those old memories back into the day.
We were one, but now our paths aren't the same
We once did carry each other, carry each other,
Always together, my one.

[Outro]
Just one true love, one beating heart
Just one short life, we played a destined part
One life intertwined with another
My dearest darling, my cherished lover.
One life's gone, but memories still remain
We used to carry each other, carry each other,
Forever as one...
My one...
My slip of a girl...

One True Love

This song is about some guy that wasn't really using his head and his friend is trying to help him out and getting him to think a little bit and smarten up and get some advice because two heads is always better than one when you got two people thinking and you can get some inspiration on the situation for this great nation and avoid obliteration and starvation includes some consideration and some arbitration to avoid any infestation and I'm really talking a bunch of junk it's one thing I could always do well if anybody talks back to me I'll talk smack right back and pretty soon they shut the hell up cuz I wouldn't stop I've always been a good smart-ass I'm learning to shut up a little more in my older days when I was younger man I would not shut up for hell I just keep on running that mouth has a Wonder somebody knock me out but my daddy taught me how to fight and all my redneck kinfolk from the Norman clan they are loved to fight my mama was one of 10 kids born to Otis and Lucy Norman all the girls in the family we're good as gold today's raised by my grandma and she couldn't even do the wrong thing he wasn't here she would always do the right thing and that's the way my mother was she would always do the right thing she could do no wrong wasn't here but the men in the clan has a different story there's raised by Otis he's a moonshine drinkin and hound dog running turtle hunting squirrel skinning possum eating old country bumpkin and that's the way all the boys were they  was all beer drinkers and hell raiset5

IT'S TEN P.M.
by Patti Ryan/Sharon Spivey

[Verse 1]
I won’t ask if it’s your first time here, I can tell it is
I won’t ask if someone’s done you wrong, it’s plain to see he did
You don’t have to say you need some love, a fool could see you do
But, honey, I’ve got one thing I’d like to say to you

[Chorus]
It's ten p.m. - do you know where you are? I wouldn't be surprised 
If it's your first time in a bar
I'd like to take you home with me, but before we go that far
It's ten p.m. - do you know where you are?

[Verse 2]
You say tonight you just don’t want to be all by yourself
The way we’re dancin’ I can see your mind’s on someone else
You let me hold you close, but you won’t look me in the eye
The hurtin’ little girl in you don’t have to tell me why

[Chorus]
It's ten p.m. - do you know where you are? I wouldn't be surprised 
If it's your first time in a bar
I'd like to take you home with me, but before we go that far
It's ten p.m. - do you know where you are?

[Outro]
I'd like to take you home with me, but before we go that far
It's ten p.m. - do you know where you are?
