Ain't Worth A Buck (Marvin Shelton)

[INTRO]

[V1]
Now, I don’t claim to be special, just an ordinary guy
But I think wisdom is essential, to make it through this life
You see,  I saw this dude, picking a losing fight
with a mountain of a man twice his size

[Pre-chorus]
I wish more people had some common sense!!

[CHORUS]
Well, I ain't never been called a thinker
but I can use a blinker
At the movies, I don't whip out my phone
I don't go interrupting, 
when somebody's saying something
If you don't want to talk, I'll leave you alone
I'd pay good money up front, for more humans that don't suck
But some of us, just...ain't worth a buck!

[V2]
Okay, wait a minute there, I ain't always in the right
I've done my fair share, of not thinking twice
I've said, "hold my beer", a few times in my life
I learned my lesson, now I listen to my wife!

[Pre-chorus]
I wish more people had some common sense!!

[CHORUS]
Well, I ain't never been called a thinker
but I can use a blinker
At the movies, I don't whip out my phone
I don't go interrupting, 
when somebody's saying something
If you don't want to talk, I'll leave you alone
I'd pay good money up front, for more humans that don't suck
But some of us, just...ain't worth a buck!

[Instrumental]

[CHORUS]
Well, I ain't never been called a thinker
but I can use a blinker
At the movies, I don't whip out my phone
I don't go interrupting, 
when somebody's saying something
If you don't want to talk, I'll leave you alone
I'd pay good money up front, for more humans that don't suck
But some of us, just ain't worth a buck!
Some of us...just...ain't worth a buck!

Ain't Worth A Buck!

Hidin Behind This Microphone (Acoustic feat. Cody Johnson)

Dr. Foss strips it down to the bone.
“Ain’t no pattern, ain’t no plan” is a bare country confession for the ones wandering without a map.

No chorus. No fix.
Just feeling. Just truth.
For anyone who ever looked up and thought:
This can’t be it… can it?

Ain’t No Pattern, Ain’t No Plan

Do Anything Kind A Man
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 6-27-25 All Rights Reserved ©


Verse 1: I've been waitin' on a gentleman Someone who knows how to take a stand Not lookin' for perfect, just someone true A man who says what he's gonna do

Chorus: I need that do anything kind a man Who'll hold my hand when life gets rough Who'll fix my fence and mend my heart Strong enough to stay when times get tough That do anything kind a man Is all I'm askin' for

Verse 2: Mama told me patience is a virtue Said the right one's worth waitin' for Don't need diamonds, don't need gold Just need someone to grow old with, that's for sure

Chorus: I need that do anything kind a man Who'll hold my hand when life gets rough Who'll fix my fence and mend my heart Strong enough to stay when times get tough That do anything kind a man Is all I'm askin' for

Bridge: He don't have to be a hero Don't need to move mountains or stars Just want someone who'll be there Lovin' me for exactly who I are
[Repeat Chorus]

Verse 3: I've known men who talk a good game Flash their smiles and play their cards But I'm lookin' for the quiet strength Of a man who loves with his whole heart Someone who'll dance with me in the kitchen And pray with me when I'm feelin' scared That do anything kind a man Is harder to find than diamonds, but he's out there

Chorus: I need that do anything kind a man Who'll hold my hand when life gets rough Who'll fix my fence and mend my heart Strong enough to stay when times get tough That do anything kind a man Is all I'm askin' for

Outro: That do anything kind a man Is worth the wait, worth the tears He might not come when you want him But he'll be right on time, have no fear I don't need perfect, just honest and true A man who'll stand by what he says he'll do That do anything kind a man Oh, that do anything kind a man Yeah, I'm still holdin' out for That do anything kind a man
 That do anything kind a man Yeah, that do anything kind a man…….

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!!!!!

[Solo]

[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

Those empty hangers

Makin’ a livin’ outta livin’—
Yeah, that’s my claim to fame.
Every sunrise writes my story,
Every breeze calls out my name.
There’s gold out in the risin’ sun,
Silver runnin’ through my hair…
Name a beach I haven’t seen—
I’ll pack my bag and meet you there.
Makin’ a livin’ outta livin’—
Man, I’ve chased the sun.
From Jimmy’s One Particular Harbor
To Band on the Run.
Got a little jingle in my pocket,
But I never needed much—
Just a beat-up six-string and a stage
And a breeze I know by touch.
Wouldn’t trade a mile I’ve roamed—
Far as I can tell,
Wind in the pines and rain on tin—
That’s the sound that makes me well.
Incoming tides, deep sapphire skies,
Salt air runnin’ through my soul…
I’m lovin’ and livin’ the life I’ve been given—
And I thank God I found it at all.
Makin’ a livin’ outta livin’—
Wish I’d found it long ago.
But I’m here now, feet up, wide-eyed
Just watchin’ this good life grow.
Ain’t got much saved for later,
But I got memories I can spend.
And a voice that still sings true
With every song I send.
Wouldn’t change a single thing—
Not one detour or delay.
The drift, the dance, the second chance—
All led me here today.
Drivin’ blind with windows down,
Laughin’ ‘til I cried…
I’m wild, I’m alive, I’m free—
And it’s one hell of a ride.
Some folks chase a dollar…
I just chased the view.
Built a home inside the moment—
That’s the best I ever knew.
Makin’ a livin’ outta livin’—
That’s the life I lead.
Sunburned maps and ocean naps—
Are all the wealth I need.
Some folks pray for someday dreams—
But I just let mine be.
Makin’ a livin’ outta livin’—
Yeah, I’m lucky…
I’m wild, I’m alive…
I’m free.

Making a Livin’ outta Livin’

Great heartwarming Story ,Great Emotional Feelings

That old Rugged Box

Here are two descriptions suitable for a music generation tool like Suno, tailored to a modern country band sound.

**For "God Country State"**
A powerful, modern country anthem with a stadium-sized sound. The track should have a driving rhythm section and epic, soaring guitars that are dynamic but without any harsh or raspy tones. The vocals are strong and confident, delivering lyrics that are a patriotic tribute to faith, heritage, and the American heartland. Think big choruses and a sound that's ready for a live show.

**For "A Day Like This"**
This is a more reflective, soulful modern country track. It should have a clean, dynamic guitar melody at its core, allowing the vocals to take the lead. The feel is uplifting and peaceful, with lyrics that celebrate finding profound happiness in a simple, natural moment. The production should feel polished and contemporary, but with an acoustic-driven sincerity.

On a day like this
