Lyrics  (Paul Pelt, DOC 2020, ed 7/1/23)

"With The Tide"

There’s something about the way the waves
Lap against the sand
It rests easy on my mind

Blue water and the morning light 
help me fade away
Into another Place and time

Pre:  A cool breeze in the air
If you can feel it you know that you’re almost there

Chorus:
The runnin’ and gunnin’
The Keepin’ up with the Jones’s
Seems to kinda get us all
A little outta line…
I been thinkin’ we could 
Take-a step ‘n reprioritize
…Just let it ride…
With the tide  

Cable news and constant change
On and on and on
Every station on TV

Take Me To The River
At the end of Day
That’s a healing remedy

And a cool breeze in the air
If you can feel it you know that you’re almost there

Chorus

Different Light  (Paul Pelt,  DOC 4/22/17)

The painting on the wall shows
Stormy seas and squalls, yeah
The waves are crashing high
But there’s a lonely lighthouse up ahead

From where I stand I know
The feeling that can take hold
When tides are pulling hard
The undertow, it rips and drags

But, in a different light, you see new lines 
a picture from another side
Then you start to see, the path beneath, your feet, is all you need
Not another life, or another try
Not another life, or another try

And in the next frame over
Fields of gold and clovers
The perfect setting for
Parades that never get a drop of rain

But the colors clash here
There’s a dark cloud there
Yeah there’s no such thing 
As a masterpiece without a flaw

If I Hadn't Found You

Travel Light  (writers: Bruce Burch, Paul Pelt;    DOC 8/30/17)

We’re born into this world, with nothing but a name
And you spend all of your life chasing your fortune or your fame
Till one day you’ll reach a place when you’re getting close to home
And you finally realize that your soul is all you own

Chorus
So I travel light, No extra baggage
Travel light, No heavy burdens 
Someday I'll fly, Straight into heaven, 
Where all I'll need 
Is God’s saving grace
That’s why… I travel light

Lay down your weary load, bury all your grudges 
When you walk that glory road, you won’t need any luggage
If you don’t leave much behind, don’t feel like you failed
The love that’s in your heart, that’s your truest wealth

Without Your Love (vox: David DeVaul, writers: David DeVaul, Paul Pelt)

A little song about the greatest restaurant in the US and all the reasons why it truly is way, way more than just a Waffle "House."  
     Hop in the time machine. 
Let's go Home...
    
     --- Lyric ---
“More Than Just A Waffle House” (Paul Pelt Jr, DOC 6/22/2017)   

It’s the cool crisp air when the sun’s coming up
Like the steam, rising slow, from my coffee cup
And the smell of bacon cooking on the grill.
It’s that jukebox, singing an old school tune 
Whenever I walk in, to grab a booth
And a waitress smiling like-we go way back… 

Chorus
That’s when it hits me, a savory memory, of a kitchen growing up 
There were stories spinning, dishes passing home-made sides, and love
Yeah nothing gets me, like sipping a sweet tea, washing that nostalgia down
There’s something about this place, in every single town…
Makes it feel like home, it’s more than just a Waffle House 

V2 
There’s a joke being told, by the cook at the stove 
And an old man laughing as he pays for a Coke  
Dropping an extra tip while he waves goodbye.
At the counter, you can find a few friends
Cutting up late at night or in the early morning
No such thing as a breakfast closing time…  

Chorus

Bridge
No need for a time machine, I-got just the thing, that carries me along 
When I step inside, it’s filling more than just my soul 

Solo 

Outro:  “Wa-Ho, Wa-Ho, Wa-Ho”
