My friend, Jelly Brown, and I were on a camping trip about 15 years ago when this song was written.  The story is fiction but after writing the song, with the help of Jelly, I Googled "Daniel Robinson" and discovered there was more than one soldier with that name.

Ballad Of Daniel Robinson

Lyrics
It’s been the family business 
since God knows when 
from generation to generation 
from kin to kin 
it’s that time of year 
to do it 
again
creeks are running 
the water’s cold 
dusting off the mason jars 
propane’s full 
time to cook the mash 
while the trees are full 
turning that corn into liquid gold
we’re just some rebels 
from up in the hills 
6 generations 
building stills 
pass it on down 
is what we do 
it’s in our blood line 
moonshine 
moonshine
gotta find a new spot 
can’t use the old 
cause you never know if somebody told 
playing cat and mouse with Johnny Law 
we’re one step ahead 
me pappy and pa
we’re just some rebels 
from up in the hills 
6 generations 
building stills 
pass it on down 
is what we do 
it’s in our blood line 
moonshine 
moonshine 
moonshine 
moonshine
dirts up flying 
and we’re hauling ass 
everything’s packed 
both feet on the gas 
can’t pay the fine 
can’t do the time 
headed straight 
for that country line
dropping our load 
at the secret stash 
meeting the buyer to 
pick up the cash
we’re just some rebels 
from up in the hills 
6 generations 
building stills 
from county to county 
across this land 
our family business 
moonshine 
moonshine 
moonshine 
moonshine

NO PRINCE CHARMING


I ain't here to satisfy.
Some lame ambition you might have
To sweet talk me tonight
So just move on, don’t walk this way
You’re the only one that's Listenin’
To what you have to say
Cuz I know you, I know your game
You think your smooth
But you’re all the same.

Chorus
I ain't lookin for another
Same as every other
You ain't fooling anyone with that talk
I think I'd rather
Watch you take that swagger
Back to the fantasy you're living in
Cuz this girl ain't fallin'
For no Prince Charmin'

Verse
You might be clever, with lots of money
I bet some girls still swoon 
When you call them honey
But I ain't dumb, don't even bother
You ain't got a chance
Of getting any farther
Cuz I know you, I know your kind  
you think you’re it, (scoff *ha*)
But you’re out of your mind
 

I ain't lookin for another
Same as every other
You ain't fooling anyone with that talk
I think I'd rather
Watch you take that swagger
Back to the fantasy you're living in
Cuz this girl ain't fallin'
For no Prince Charmin
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Every woman Dreams of a handsome Prince
And a slipper 
made of Glass.   

Not a  smooth talkin’ store bought Cowboy 
Bad pickup lines, only one thing on your mind
man, you have no class
 
I ain't lookin for another
Same as every other
You ain't fooling anyone with that talk
I think I'd rather
Watch you take that swagger
Back to the fantasy you're living in
Cuz this girl ain't fallin'
For no Prince Charmin

No this girl ain't fallin’
for no Prince Charmin


No Prince Charmin

Fun country love duet by Clark Ford (music and lyrics) for "1994 the Musical.  Arranged and recorded by Underground Treehouse, Nashville, featuring Morgan Ridgely and Chris Folsom as singers, 2015.

Lyrics

Male: I've been down this road a time or two, but no one I have met compares to you.
Female: I've been lookin' 'round my whole life through, but nobody else comes close to you. 

Duet Chorus: 
You're the best, better than the rest, passing every test of my heart. 
You're the best, my life has been blessed, since you said yes, no contest, you're the best. 

Male: Don't know what I'd do without you. I though this old heart of mine was through. 
Female: My heart has been hurt before it's true. I guess it was waiting just for you.

(Duet Chorus). 

Female: What if I had never met you? Would my life have meaning at all?
Male: I'm so in love with you baby. I'm so glad you picked up when I called.

(Duet Chorus)

Male: Yeah, you're the best, better than the rest, better than me by far, you're a star. 
Female: No, you're the best, my life was a mess, then you said yes, you're the best. 
Duet: But I'm the luckiest...

You're The Best

Shes gone

Shes Gone

I wrote this song for my wife of almost 2 years about 15 years ago, so yeah, I wish I were magic back then, but God is...and look at us now!! I love you Patsy!!
