Quiet Desperation By Hot Cookie

[Verse]
Lives of quiet desperation in the shadows we all fade
Wearing smiles that deceive what the heart has displayed
In the silence of our battles no one sees the hidden scars
In the darkness of our sorrows we are prisoners of these bars

[Verse 2]
Every day a masquerade with laughter on our lips
Hiding tears behind the masks that dangle at our hips
With our dreams abandoned somewhere on forgotten shores
We march in silent protest through these unguarded doors

[pre chorus]
Lives of quiet desperation
Behind the veil of one's frustration
Every laugh a mere translation
Of the pain our last destination

[Chorus]
Who will break the chains we forged in flames so cold
Who will find the secrets that our stories haven't told
In this war of quiet souls searching for their place
Who will find the strength to show the world their face

[Verse 3]
Walking through a maze of doubts and hollow expectations
We forget the truth and cling to empty fabrications
In the whispers of our hearts there's a cry for liberation
But the fears of judgment keep us chained in hesitation

[Bridge]
When the night falls quiet and we're alone in contemplation
Will we dare to strip away the lies in revelation
In the echoes of our hearts can we find salvation
Or will we live forever in this quiet desperation

[pre chorus]
Lives of quiet desperation
Behind the veil of one's frustration
Every laugh a mere translation
Of the pain our last destination

[Chorus]
Who will break the chains we forged in flames so cold
Who will find the secrets that our stories haven't told
In this war of quiet souls searching for their place
Who will find the strength to show the world their face

[outro]
Lives of quiet desperation
(desperation)
Behind the veil of one's frustration
(frustration)
Every laugh a mere translation
Of the pain our last destination
(destination)
Lives of quiet desperation
(desperation)
Lives of quiet desperation

Quiet Desperation By Hot Cookie

Picnic Show by Hot Cookie

In the heart of summer, where the fields lie wide, A country picnic, full of pride. Softball games and cherry pie, Barbecue burgers, franks to try. Playing the best of Hank, his voice so true, Neighbors and family, old and new.

 Children’s laughter, chasing dreams, Echoes of youth in sunlit beams.

 Someone picks up a guitar, and the music rolls, Come on over here, grab a beer, play one everybody knows. The sun is setting, laughter near, As the country music flows. Come on over here, sing along, Underneath the twilight glow. Together we’ll strum life's sweet song, Homemade country music
 picnic show.

 Families gather, tales to share, Memories woven in the summer air. Grandpa’s stories, wisdom’s thread, Echo softly as the daylight fades. Barbecue smoke, and tales of old, In these moments, hearts are gold. With every note, the night takes flight, In the melody, we find our light.

 Stars appear in the evening sky, The warmth of friendship never dies.

Someone picks up a guitar, and the music rolls, Come on over here, grab a beer, play one everybody knows. The sun is setting, laughter near, As the country music flows. Come on over here, sing along, Underneath the twilight glow. Together we’ll strum life's sweet song, Homemade country music
 picnic show.

 Lingering questions in night’s domain, Echoes of love that still remain. Harmonies blend, voices rise, A celebration under country skies. Caught between the notes so thin, Stories of where love has been. Velvet tones that weave and bind, Mystic music, hearts left behind.

 Come on over here, grab a beer, play one everybody knows

 As the fireflies dance and the night grows deep, We sing until the world falls asleep. In this country heaven, love and grace, We find our home, our sacred place.

 Come on over here, grab a beer, play one everybody knows
Playing here I'm no star 
just another guitar
 Come on over here, grab a beer, play one everybody knows
(one everybody knows)
play one.... everybody ......knows

Playing here
(Playing here) .......I'm no star
 (I'm no star) 
just .....another .....guitar.....
(just another guitar.........)
just another guitar

Picnic Show by Hot Cookie

Tumbleweed by Hot Cookie

[Verse 1] Tumbleweed, the changes, I'll go where they lead, Finding solace in the whispering weeds . Across the plains of all my tears cried, Seeking a better place where joy resides.

[Chorus] Rolling on with no roots to keep, In the winds we trust as we leap. Tumbleweed in the wind we roam, Never knowing where we'll call home. (alone) alone (alone)
Never knowing where we'll call home. 

[Verse 2] With each gust, I'm gently led, To a new dawn up ahead. Followin' the wind like a lost child, To a better place through the changes wild. 

[Chorus] Rolling on with no roots to keep, In the winds we trust as we leap. Tumbleweed in the wind we roam, Never knowing where we'll call home. (alone) alone (alone)
Never knowing where we'll call home.

[Bridge] Every twist and turn leads me on, To where heartache hopes are gone.
Broken hearts and empty dreams, Carried by the endless streams. In these moments lost in dust, Trusting only when I Must. Tumbleweed Whispers  where the shadows fall.  aimless horizons, as rain drop fall

[Chorus] Rolling on with no roots to keep, In the winds we trust as we leap. Tumbleweed in the wind we roam, Never knowing where we'll call home. (alone) alone (alone)
Never knowing where we'll call home.

[Verse 3] Beneath the stars, the moonlight's glow, Guides us through paths we don't yet know. With every heartbeat, we stay strong, A tumbleweed's journey, sad country song (sad country song)

[pre outro] With every heartbeat,
 (heartbeat) we stay strong, 
A tumbleweed's journey, 
sad country song 
(sad country song)

[outro] 
Tumbleweed tales, 
(Tumbleweed tales)
Tumbleweed wispers
our stories unfold, In the winds of change, our music never gets old
(music never gets old)
Ooooooooooooh oh oooooh, Ooooooooooooh oh oooooh.
Tumbleweed tales, 
Tumbleweed whispers
(Tumbleweed whispers)
(sad country song)

Why Do I Still Wonder by Hot Cookie

[Intro]
why(WHY)

[verse 1]
Why do I still wonder? 
Why you didn't hear
 The lightning and the thunder
 When we were so near
(so near)
 An offer to understand 
Slips through an open hand
 Lost like grains of sand
 Lost like the dreams we planned
(dreams we planned)

[chorus]
 And I wonder 
(And I wonder) 
if you wonder
(if you wonder)
 How it might have been
 cuz baby I'm still under
(still under)
 A spell that just won't end
 Why do I wander?
 Through these thoughts again
 Trying to mend 
(Trying to mend )
From a love that wouldn't bend 
From the thunder that I sent from my heart
 (From my heart) from my heart
(From my heart) from my heart

[verse 2]
Why do I still wonder? 
(Why do I still wonder?)
Why you didn't hear
(Why you didn't hear)
 The lightning and the thunder
(The lightning and the thunder)
 When we were so near.........
An offer to understand 
(An offer to understand)
Slips through an open hand
(Slips through an open hand)
 Lost like grains of sand
 (Lost like grains of sand)
Lost like the dreams we planned
(dreams we planned)

[chorus}
 And I wonder 
(And I wonder)

(if you wonder)
 How it might have been

From a love that wouldn't bend 
From the thunder that I sent from my heart
 (From my heart) from my heart
(From my heart) from my heart

[outro]

Learn Before You Choose By Hot Cookie

[Verse]
In the shadows they all play
Games of fools night and day
Pretend to have the tools alright
Never learned the rules of the fight

[Chorus]
Learn before you choose
 gota lot to lose
 (lot to lose)
 gota lot to lose
Learn before you choose
some gifts you can refuse
or (or)
cue the blues (the blues)
 the blues



[Verse 2]
Dim insight no clues in sight
They stumble hope to get it right
Chasing dreams on a tangled thred
here where you make your own bed

[Chorus]
Learn before you choose
 gota lot to lose
 (lot to lose)
 gota lot to lose
Learn before you choose
some gifts you can refuse
or (or)
cue the blues (the blues)
 the blues



[Verse 3]
Blind ambitions not the way
Take a step before led astray
Whispers echo wispers paint lies
don't always trust your own eyes

[Verse ]
In the game of life stakes are high
don't bet it all on the first try
find the right key
find the right door
if you don't know
learn more (learn more)learn more

[Chorus]
Learn before you choose
 gota lot to lose
 (lot to lose)
 gota lot to lose
Learn before you choose
some gifts you can refuse
or (or)
cue the blues (the blues)

[bridge]

Chasing dreams that never show
Falling fast but moving slow
Empty signs where roads should go
Lost in thoughts you'll never know


[Chorus]
Learn before you choose
 gota lot to lose
 (lot to lose)
 gota lot to lose
Learn before you choose
some gifts you can refuse
or (or)
cue the blues (the blues)

Learn Before You Choose By Hot Cookie

Ride About by Hot Cookie

 I woke up early in the morning, the sun was shining bright, Put on my boots and cowboy hat, feeling quite a fright, On the farm where I grew up, I knew the fields and barns, But that day I rode a horse, a new thrill in my arms.

[chorus] Oh, the first ride on a horse, a girl’s dream coming true, With the wind in my hair, and the sky so blue, Held the reins tight, heart racing in my chest, In that moment, I felt free, like I could be my best.

[repeat]

[second verse] dad helped me up, gentle hands, onto the saddle high, Whispered, “Trust the horse, she’ll take you for a ride,” Felt the rhythm in her stride, a bond starting to grow, Every step we took together, more confidence to show.

[chorus] Oh, the first ride on a horse, a girl’s dream coming true, With the wind in my hair, and the sky so blue, Held the reins tight, heart racing in my chest, In that moment, I felt free, like I could be my best.

[repeat ]

[bridge] Galloped through the meadows, the world fading away, Laughed and felt the joy, like a child at play, dad watched me with a smile, said, “You’re doing great,” In that moment, I knew this was more than fate.

[third verse] We rode back to the barn, the sun setting low, He helped me down, kissed my cheek, said, “I told you so,” Felt the warmth of his embrace, as we stood there side by side, In his arms, I realized, this was a perfect ride.

[chorus] Oh, the first ride on a horse, a girl’s dream coming true, With the wind in my hair, and the sky so blue, Held the reins tight, heart racing in my chest, In that moment, I felt free, like I could be my best.

[repeat]

[outro] now I ride a bus to stages across this land
 see horses in the fields and think of my dad
how he taught me to ride taught me about faith and doubt
got to make more time  ...some time...to go ride about...
got to make more time  ...some time...to go ride about...

Ride About by Hot Cookie

[first verse] In a small-town store, on a summer’s day, I saw a hat in the window, with a hint of gray, It whispered tales of adventure and grace, I knew I had to have it, in that crowded place. [repeat]

[chorus] Oh, that hat, it spoke to my soul, With a brim so wide, it made me whole, It wasn’t just fabric, it was more than that, It held dreams and memories, in a simple hat.



[second verse] I wore it to the rodeo, felt a sense of pride, As the band played on, and the dancers slide, Underneath the starlight, I caught his eye, With that hat on my head,  I gave love a try

[chorus] Oh, that hat, it spoke to my soul, With a brim so wide, it made me whole, It wasn’t just fabric, it was more than that, It held dreams and memories, in a simple hat.

[bridge] Everywhere I went, that hat would go, From the fields of gold to the mountain snow, It saw my tears, my laughs, my fears, Through every high and low, across the years.

[third verse] One day he took my hand, under the old oak tree, With that hat on my head, I felt wild and free, He kissed me tenderly, under the big sky blue, And promised me a love that would always stay true.



[chorus] Oh, that hat, it spoke to my soul, With a brim so wide, it made me whole, It wasn’t just fabric, it was more than that, It held dreams and memories, in a simple hat.



[outro] Now I look back, with the hat in my hand, Remember the moments, the love, the land, It’s more than just a hat, it’s a part of my past, A symbol of the journey, that was built to last.
It’s more than just a hat, it’s a part of my past, A symbol of the journey, that was built to last.

A Simple Hat by Hot Cookie

Sea Of Confusion by Hot Cookie

[Verse]
Sailing on the sea of confusion
With a compass that's lost in a storm
Every turn a new illusion
Seeking solace where dreams transform


[Verse 2]
Endless hope doing hoop jumps
Chasing dreams that won’t stay still
Every bright path leads to speed bumps
Caught in the whirl of a star-bound thrill

[Chorus]
Endless years of musical tangents
Hanging your star on every new song
Glimpses of glory turn to fragments
Of expectations that always go wrong
(always go wrong)
always ....go..... wrong...
[soft instrumental hook]

[Verse 3]
Fast trains on burnt-out tracks
Rolling dice on chances thin as air
Holding on to moments that lack
But in the struggle find the flair

[Bridge]
Hear the echoes of a wishful heart
Stars align though skies play tricks
Every end just a brand new start
In the chaos still we mix
Still we dance on tangled wires
Balancing on notes and desires
Through the chaos
Through the fires
Hearts that beat and never tire

[Chorus]
Endless years of musical tangents
Hanging your star on every new song
Glimpses of glory turn to fragments
Of expectations that always go wrong
(always go wrong)
always ....go..... wrong...
[long soft instrumental hook]

[outro]
Holding tight to faded whispers
In the echoes of promises made
Through the fog where the light flickers
Guided by the notes you played
Sailing on the sea of confusion
With a compass that's lost in a storm
Every turn a new illusion
Seeking solace where dreams transform
Endless years of musical tangents
Hanging your star on every new song
Glimpses of glory turn to fragments
Of expectations that always go wrong
(always go wrong)
always ....go..... wrong...
[long soft instrumental hook]
(always go wrong)

Sea Of Confusion by Hot Cookie

Will I By Hot Cookie

[Intro:] No matter what they think, no matter what they say, Will I ever be enough? Will I be enough today?
(Will I be enough today?)

[Verse 1:] I wake up every morning, sunshine on my face, Look in the mirror, searching for a trace. Of someone who’s enough, someone who’s strong, But all I find are shadows of where I belong.



[Chorus:] Almost, but not quite there, I'm reaching out, but life's unfair. Almost, but can’t quite see, When will someone believe in me?
(When will someone believe in me?)

[Verse 2:] I give my heart, I give my soul, But every effort seems to take its toll. I smile through tears, hide the pain, Wondering if I'll get a chance in this game


[Chorus:] Almost, but not quite there, I'm reaching out, but life's unfair. Almost, but can’t quite see, When will someone believe in me?
(When will someone believe in me?)

[Bridge:] In my dreams, I'm soaring past Breaking through that wall at last But in my world, I feel so lost 
 kind word from you
what would that cost
(what would that cost)



[Chorus:] Almost, but not quite there, I'm reaching out, but life's unfair. Almost, but can’t quite see, When will someone believe in me?
(When will someone believe in me?)


[Outro:] So I keep on moving, down the road Hoping someday I'll be told ‘I made the right choice to sing my songs ..that .......I.... belong.....................that............ I belong
(belong)
