Brown Eyes and Bangs (Tucker/Jackson-Whitehurst/Newton)

Electricity
Donovan Tucker Music & Lyrics © 2014

It was a cool evening
We shared a slow dance
I held you so close
I didn't stand a chance
I saw the moonlight
Reflecting in your eyes
Your body was electric
I saw the sparks fly

Chorus

Electricity... was all around us
Even your hair was dancing
Like it was weightless
I had goose bumps
On every part of me that I could see
We were both charged....with electricity

It was a slow burn
We took a long ride
I made a fast turn
You ended up against my side
And when you looked at me
I saw the fire in your eyes
Your touch was stunning
Just like a live wire

Chorus

Bridge:

I felt the current
Surging thru my veins
It wont let me release your hand
But I wouldn't call it pain...oh no

Watermarked   
            Donovan Tucker / Rodger King  (c) 2019  BMI 
Verse
 I was  raised   near a  lake up in Yell  County
We spent our days with a cane pole in our hands 
Once or twice I came pretty darn  close to drowning 
It was,sink or swim but  I always made it back to land 
Chorus
 Take me anywhere that a river flows
Where a seagull flies Or an ocean  
Might be a creek bed 
Mud between your toes
I'm  water  marked
That’s where I wanna   go 
Verse
I spent some  time on the white sands ofDaytona 
The salty taste of the sea breeze in the air 
In the evening we shared a  fire and a few Coronas 
A morning  dip to wake me up , wish I was there 
Chorus
Take me anywherethat a river flows
Where a seagull flies 
Or an ocean rolls
 Might be a creek bed
 Mud between your toes
 I'm water marked
That'swhere I wanna go 
Bridge
 Grandpatook me fishin'
When  i was just a kid
Now  when I'm near the water
 It makes me think of him
 Like the great Niagra Falls 
and  [c] rushes  to the sea
 I fell in love with  water, I’ts
 become a part of me 
Final Chorus 
Take me anywhere     
that a river flows
Where a seagull flies   
 Or an ocean rolls 
Might be a creek bed
Mud between your toes
 I'm watermarked That's where I wanna go
Hey I’m watermarked thats where I wanna go

This Ain't Us     Tucker/Newton

Verse
It seems like  somehow  
We've all lost our way
No body ever  reaches out ...
or has a kind  word to say 

 That ain't the  way we were raised 
 We said ma'am , and sir .. we said grace 

Chorus
This ain't us   
This ain't  who we be oughta be 
This ain't us 
Take alook around  I know you'll see
Everybody's angry all the time 
Its all about me, hey, give me mine 
If it don't change soon 
What will we leave  behind 
Cause this ain't us 
No this ain't us 
Verse
People point fingers
they're quick to blame
ready to disagree and start 
calling other names 

Pretty soon it goes from bad to  worse 
If you're not careful more than  feelings can get hurt 

Chorus 2 
This Ain't us .. this ain't
who we oughta be 
This ain't us ..take a look around
I know you'll see
Everybody's angry all the time 
It's all about me , hey, give me mine 
If it don't change soon 
What will we leave behind 
'Cause This ain't us
Bridge
 We can do better dontcha know that we can 
Hey now  brothers and  sisters  
Ain't it time   we take a stand..... 
Chorus 3
Cause This ain't us ..
This ain't who we oughta be 
This ain't us ...take a look around I hope you'll  see
We don't have to be angry all the time
Whats mine is yours, yours is mine
We gotta change soon
Can't we let our love light shine  
Cause this ain't us
No this ain't us..  this ain't us

Lost My Cool

Verse
I used used to be hip ...I used to be fresh
Invited to the parties
My jokes always impressed
But somewhere down the line
I'm thinking  I've lost touch
Cause when I say  I'm in my prime
 My kids say not so much 
They  roll their eyes and laugh
And  tell my time's [a] passed
They say give it  up...why dontcha act your  age

Chorus
Well I guess I lost my cool along the way
Too  far removed from school
To know what they say
A little Merle, a little blues is what I play
Yeah I guess I lost my  cool along the  way

Verse
When I wear my jeans ... I pull 'em up
You won't see my boxer briefs
Or any portion of my butt
I like my music true
With  guitars and mandolins
I don't need robotic grooves
Or words  that don't make sense
I do my best to keep it real
I write songs that I can feel
I won't give it up...Or act my age

Chorus
I guess I lost my cool along the way
Too far removed from school
To know what they say
A little Merle , a little blues is what I play
Yeah I guess I lost my cool along the way

Bridge
[I ain't no fan of hip hop
I guess its got its place
I'll take Lennon & McCartney
with a dose  of Stevie Ray
The more I try ... to be fly ... 
Chorus
The more I lose my cool along the way
Too far removed from school
To care what they say
A little Merle
A little blues is what I play
Yeah I guess I lost my cool along the way

Well I guess I Lost my cool along the waayy ...yeah..
Been  gone  to long gone from school to care what they say
A Little Merle, a little blues is what I play
Yeah I guess I lost my cool along the way..

Lost My Cool  (D. Tucker writer)

Acceptance (Charlie Crow lyrics Eric Chesser lyrics) (c)2019

Oh I've always tried to live my life so independently
Controlling all within my reach
As far as I could see

Then came along a circumstance
That I could not control
Shattering my confidence 
Plunged me into a hole...shook my very soul

Then breathing deep I spurned defeat
Stepped back and felt alive
Determined to survive

The path was dark , the journey long
There where struggles on the way
But I found solace in my songs
Well, I even learned to pray

And something I discovered
It was to my great surprise 
The less I tried to take control
The more I realized
Acceptance made me wise

Now every day that comes my way
Brings sunshine to my face
Living life beyond myself 
In gratitude and grace
