V1.
Humming along to the radio
Still trying to find the words
Wheels are rolling to the beat
Found the chorus in the curves
Moonlight on the windshield
Not another soul in sight
The song begins to write itself 
In the middle of the night

Pre-chorus
Drive 

Chorus
My mind is free as the breeze
Music pouring out of me.
I’m alive
Loose grip on the wheel
Nothing but time to kill
Drive
City light shine below the ridge
Still working on the bridge
It’s five
This straight-away completes the verse
No better feeling on the earth
Drive

V2.
As sunlight washes stars away
My air guitar provides the remedy
The colors in the sunrise
Help complete the melody

Pre-chorus
Drive

Chorus
My mind is free as the breeze
Music pouring out of me.
I’m alive
Loose grip on the wheel
Nothing but time to kill
Drive
City lights shine below the ridge
Still working on the bridge
It’s five
This straight-away completes the verse
No better feeling on the earth
Drive

Bridge
This old highway brought the music to life
There’s magic in the night

Pre-chorus
Drive

Chorus x 2
My mind is free as the breeze
Music pouring out of me.
I’m alive
Loose grip on the wheel
Nothing but time to kill
Drive
City lights shine below the ridge
Still working on the bridge
It’s five
This straight-away completes the verse
No better feeling on the earth
Drive

Daddy’s Heart

28 FEB 2024

V1.
A couple blonde-haired little cuties
Future blue-eyed Texas beauties
Cuddled up, one in each arm
Huddled in my daddy space
Big smile stretched across my face
These two sure can turn on the charm

Pre-chorus
They look just like their mother
But they fight like me
The unconditional love that I’ve discovered
Made me the man I’m meant to be

Chorus
I’m melted by their smiles
God’s perfect works of art
I may be wrapped around their fingers
But they’re wrapped around Daddy’s heart

V2.
Day by day they’re changing
So I keep rearranging
My days to spend more time with them
‘Cos time will come too soon
When I walk in their room
And only find pictures of them

Pre-chorus
They look just like their mother
But you can bet they fight like me
The unconditional love that I’ve discovered
Made me the man I’m meant to be

Chorus
I’m melted by their smiles
God’s perfect works of art
I may be wrapped around their fingers
But they’re wrapped around Daddy’s heart

Bridge
It ain’t hard to see my heart changing me
Once those girls became my priority

Pre-chorus
They look just like their mother
But you can bet they fight like me
The unconditional love that I’ve discovered
Made me the man I’m meant to be

Chorus
I’m melted by their smiles
God’s perfect works of art
I may be wrapped around their fingers
But they’re wrapped around Daddy’s heart

Chorus
I’m melted by their smiles
God’s perfect works of art
I may be wrapped around their fingers
But they’re wrapped around Daddy’s heart

Wrapped around Daddy’s Heart

V1
Slammed the screen door
Spun the tires in the drive
Such a small and stupid thing
Turned into a big fight
Just needed a minute
Won’t take me that long
To figure out she was right
And understand that I was wrong

Chorus
Who says I’ll make it back home
What if the last words that I said
Are what she’ll see on my grave stone
I take it all for granted
But I need to pick up the phone
Who says I’ll make it back home

V2.
Ran down to the mall
To grab a remote for the TV
But when I stepped out of the truck
Bullets were flying ‘round me
Active shooter spewing evil
Random shots in the broad day light
Someone’s world changed today
Someone’s voice won’t be heard tonight

Chorus
Who says I’ll make it back home
What if the last words that I said
Are what she’ll see on my grave stone
I take it all for granted
But I need to pick up the phone
Who says I’ll make it back home

Bridge
With shaky hands I dialed
Told her I loved her and I cried
Thought I’d make it back home
….. I tried

Chorus
Who says I’ll make it back home
Now the last words that I said
Are what she’ll see on my grave stone
I took it all for granted
Thank God I picked up the phone
Who says I’ll make it back home

I take it all for granted
Thank God I picked up the phone
Who says I’ll make it back home

Who says  I’ll make it back home

Make It Back Home

Only Fans

V1
I’m no longer doing laundry
‘Cos I sell everything I wear
A brand new hairbrush every day
They’re worth more money full of hair
You won’t believe what I can get 
For my bras and panties
Last year I made me half a mil
From my perverted sugar daddies

Chorus
OnlyFans brings wads of cash
I’m working it from home
I even sell bathwater
Full of my bubbly foam
Ah don’t be rude, I’m never nude
You can watch wherever I am
Not a dirty girl, but it’s a dirty world
Full of my Only Fans

V2
Tell all your friends where to find me
I ain’t here to be discreet
There’s a huge fettish market
Where I sell pictures of my feet
Only Fans has landed me
In the upper crust tax tier
I tell the IRS I’m a chicken farmer
Cuz I raised a million cocks last year

Chorus
OnlyFans brings wads of cash
I’m working it from home
I even sell bathwater
Full of my bubbly foam
Ah don’t be rude, I’m never nude
You can watch wherever I am
Not a dirty girl, but it’s a dirty world
Full of my Only Fans

[Instrumental]


Chorus
OnlyFans brings wads of cash
I’m working it from home

Full of my bubbly foam
Ah don’t be rude, I’m never nude

Not a dirty girl, but it’s a dirty world
Full of my Only Fans

Not a dirty girl, but it’s a dirty world
Full of my Only Fans

Chorus
OnlyFans brings wads of cash
I’m working it from home
I even sell bathwater
Full of my bubbly foam
Ah don’t be rude, I’m never nude

Full of my Only Fans

Not a dirty girl, but it’s a dirty world
Full of my Only Fans

My Tribe
31 OCT 2023

V1.
Monday Margarita Meetings
Friends gathered at the local bar
Taco Tuesdays on the patio
Humpday karaoke in the car
Thirsty Thursday Happy Hour specials
Gonna get a little lit tonight
When 5 o’clock Friday rolls around
Meet the tribe at our lake camp site

Chorus
Here’s to tailgates, and tunes on the radio
Campfires and coolers where liquor flows
Watching embers glow
As the flames get higher										 There’s a burning desire to just take a flier 
And tip that first domino
The laughter hurts my sides
This crew is such a vibe
Surrounded by the ladies in my tribe

V2
We’re like a bunch of wild Indians
But we don’t need a chief
Just living life in the moment
These girls bring my relief

Chorus
Here’s to tailgates, and tunes on the radio 
Campfires and coolers where liquor flows
Watching embers glow
As the flames get higher										 There’s a burning desire to just take a flier 
And tip that first domino
The laughter hurts my sides
This crew is such a vibe
Surrounded by the ladies in my tribe


Bridge
When life starts flashing before my eyes
My tribe won’t be forgotten
This is gonna be the part worth watchin’

Chorus
Here’s to tailgates, and tunes on the radio
Campfires and coolers where liquor flows
Watching embers glow
As the flames get higher										 There’s a burning desire to just take a flier 
And tip that first domino
The laughter hurts my sides
This crew is such a vibe
Surrounded by the ladies in my tribe

This crew is such a vibe
Surrounded by the ladies in my tribe

This crew is such a vibe
Surrounded by the ladies in my tribe

This crew is such a vibe
Surrounded by the ladies in my tribe

here’s No You

v1.
Glaringly suspicious of the thing that no one wishes
Your intentions weren’t malicious
But it’s a truth you can’t outrun
You committed a crime of passion
Consequences for your actions.
And the only satisfaction is to know we’re done

Short-chorus
I know what to do. Gonna drop that other shoe
And for the rest of my life there’s no you
There’s no you. There’s no you

V2
Every blessing is a curse and every curse is a blessing
So you’d better start confessing
It all to me.
After it’s been lost
You can’t regain the trust
And in learning this truth I will set you free

Short-chorus
I’ll be checking out what’s behind door number 2
And for the rest of my life there’s no you
There’s no you. There’s no you.

V3.
Just as my heart is beating 
We both know that you’ve been cheating
Like addiction you can’t stop it once you start.
All your careless dirty dances 
You’re all out of second chances
Go on and pirouette your way out of my heart

[Chorus}
To tangle it takes two, and you two can’t unscrew
And for the rest of my life there is no you.
There’s no you. There’s no you.

[Verse]
Life’s simpler now it seems
Free to follow all my dreams
Thinking clearly without you on my mind.
At the fork in the gravel
I took the road less traveled
And now I know that things will be just fine.

[Chorus]
Happy hour starts at 2. Celebrating with a brew.
‘Cuz for the rest of my life there’s no you.
There’s no you. There’s no you

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Life’s simpler now it seems

Thinking clearly without you on my mind.

[Chorus]
Happy hour starts at 2. Celebrating with a brew.
‘Cuz for the rest of my life there’s no you.

There's No You

V1.
I’m out looking for some sunshine
Trying to find my happy place.
Search for the feeling
To put a smile back on my face
Everyone deserves some love
That’s something I believe
So I’ll do the world a favor
And just catch and release.

Chorus
Spread the love, share the wealth
Don’t keep the feeling to yourself
Lend a hand, make a friend
And do it over and over again.
You’ve got love there in your heart
It’s time to practice what you preach
When you get that happy feeling
Catch and release

V2.
The sweet relief a smile can bring
When there’s troubled times at home
Someday we’ll look back and laugh
And see they were just stepping stones.
I know there’ll come a day
When we finally find our beach.
When we get that kind of feeling.
Just catch and release

Chorus
Spread the love, share the wealth
Don’t keep the feeling to yourself
Lend a hand, make a friend
And do it over and over again.
You’ve got love there in your heart
It’s time to practice what you preach
When you get that happy feeling
Catch and release
Bridge
We don’t have a lotta time on earth
When we reach those pearly gates
We’ll only be remembered for 
Every ounce of love we gave so

Chorus
Spread the love, share the wealth
Don’t keep the feeling to yourself
Lend a hand, make a friend
And do it over and over again.
You’ve got love there in your heart
It’s time to practice what you preach
When you get that happy feeling
Catch and release

Just catch and release

Catch And Release MIX01

V1.
Don’t you cry when rumors fly
Wipe the tears out of your eyes
Count to 10 and walk the other way
Actions speak louder than words
Their opinion’s for the birds
Don’t even let them in your day
Just let ‘em talk
Let ‘em talk

Chorus
Let ‘em talk. Run their mouth
That’s just ain’t what you’re about
You’ve got a plan,
They’re just tryin’ to change ya
If they’re in your head kick ‘em out
They just want to bring you doubt
They hate ya cuz they ain’t ya
So Let ‘em talk
Just let ‘em talk

V2.
Haters hate. That’s what they do
They’ve got no effect on you
Nothing’s gained by settling the score
It makes no sense to take offense
They just want to fight against
Be the light by showing what you’re fighting for
And Let ‘em talk
Just let ‘em talk

Chorus
Let ‘em talk. Run their mouth
That’s just ain’t what you’re about
You’ve got a plan,
They’re just tryin’ to change ya
If they’re in your head kick ‘em out
They just want to bring you doubt
They hate ya cuz they ain’t ya
So Let ‘em talk
Just let ‘em talk

Bridge
Keep the faith and keep on walking
Let your actions do the talking 
Keep looking on ahead to brighter days
And Let ‘em talk
Just let ‘em talk

Chorus
Let ‘em talk. Run their mouth
That’s just not what you’re about
You’ve got a plan,
They’re just tryin’ to change ya
If they’re in your head kick ‘em out
They just want to bring you doubt
They hate ya cuz they ain’t ya
So Let ‘em talk
Just let ‘em talk

Oh let ‘em talk
Let ‘em talk

V1.
On a dark and rainy evening
On a cloudy moonless night
The unthinkable had happened
And it changed all of our lives
Spinning tires and smoldering fires
Lives shattered like the glass
The future looked like hell on earth
If I could only take it back

Chorus
And I got the chance
Because it was only just a dream
The warning came while sleeping
‘Cos I had to change some things
The nightmare came to show me
How to avoid the circumstance
Blessed by my guardian angel
Thank God I got the chance.

V2
It wasn’t just a one-time thing
Haunted for a month or more
Damn sure got my attention
Showed me what might be in store
If I didn’t fix the problems
I’d pay the price it cost
A helpful nudge from Heaven above
To avoid a life of loss

Chorus
And I got the chance
Because it was only just a dream
The warning came while sleeping
‘Cos I had to change some things
The nightmare came to show me
How to avoid the circumstance
Blessed by my guardian angel
Thank God I got the chance

[Instrumental]

Bridge
So take heed when your dreams give you a vision
It just might be what keeps you out of prison

Chorus
And I got the chance
Because it was only just a dream
The warning came while sleeping
‘Cos I had to change some things
The nightmare came to show me
How to avoid the circumstance
Blessed by my guardian angel
Thank God I got the chance

Blessed by my guardian angel
Thank God I got the chance

[Verse[
The red is for the valor
And courage to sacrifice
And it represents the bloodshed
For those that paid the price
The white stripe stands for purity
And shows our independence
It also holds the ideals 
This great country represents

[Chorus]
So wave it proudly
Over this land that we call home
And bravely show your freedom
And that we don’t stand alone
The stars and stripes 
Proudly on display
The red, white, and the blue
I salute you
I salute you

[Verse]
Blue shows justice in our corner
Strong and watchful vigilance
It provides a background for the stars
For the states held close within
The stripes the colonies
From our first years of existence
And the stars shout out the fifty
States and the borders we live within

[Chorus]
So wave it proudly
Over this land that we call home
And bravely show your freedom
And that we don’t stand alone
The stars and stripes 
Proudly on display
The red, white, and the blue
I salute you
I salute you

[Instrumental]

{Bridge]
Over the land of the free. Over the home of the brave
I salute you. So proudly wave that flag.

[Chorus]
So wave it proudly
Over this land that we call home
And bravely show your freedom
And that we don’t stand alone
The stars and stripes 
Proudly on display
The red, white, and the blue
I salute you
I salute you

I Salute You

Give It All Up

V1.
Give me a weekend pass on the Vegas strip
Top floor penthouse with a big round bed
Make me a hundred grand bet on the Cowboys
And give me a twenty point spread

You can build me a mansion on a tropical isle
With a waterfall pool and a swim up bar
Sippin’; blue margaritas down in paradise
White sand, warm breeze.... what a beach of a life

Pre Chorus:
Ain’t nothing like you baby
And I’d give it all up for you

Chorus:
Pay me out a king’s ransom
With a big pot of gold
Dip my heart in the fountain of youth
So love will never grow old 
 
But all I need is your good lovin’		
Cuz in the whole wide world
You’re my one and only woman
And I need you like the sky needs blue
And I’d give it all up for you
 
[Verse]
Pay my passage on a luxury cruise
With an upgrade cabin and an ocean view
Pay for all my fun, my liquor and food
In all the ports of call that we sail into

Take me deep sea fishin’ down in Mexico
Where the water’s ice blue and the beer is ice cold
While I’m drinkin’ em down and reelin’ em in
..... Think I’d still be wishin’ for what I’ve been missin’...........

Pre Chorus:

Yeah, it ain’t nothin’ like you baby
And I’d give it all up for you

Chorus:
Pay me out a king’s ransom
With a big pot of gold
Dip my heart in the fountain of youth
So love will never grow old 
 
But all I need is your good lovin’		
Cuz in the whole wide world
You’re my one and only woman
And I need you like the sky needs blue
And I’d give it all up for you

Bridge
So many amazing things in this big ol’ world
But nothing can compare to you girl

Chorus:
Pay me out a king’s ransom
With a big pot of gold
Dip my heart in the fountain of youth
So love will never grow old 
 
But all I need is your good lovin’		
Cuz in the whole wide world
You’re my one and only woman
And I need you like the sky needs blue
And I’d give it all up for you

Ain’t nothin’ like you baby
And I’d give it all up for you
