(Verse 1)
I found her in the arms of my best friend,
Well, I found her in the arms of my best friend,
My heart broke, thought it might never mend.
They were laughing, like I wasn't even there,
Now I'm drowning my sorrows in this old rocking chair.
(Chorus)
She was my only ray of light,
But now she's gone, and it just ain't right.
Lost my girl, lost my best friend too,
In this lonely old world, what's a cowboy to do?
(Verse 2)
I trusted him like a brother, gave him my all,
But he stole my girl, watched my world fall.
I guess loyalty ain't worth much these days,
Now I'm just wandering these lonely highways.

Cowboy's Lament

(Verse 1)
In the silence of the night, I lay my head
Dreaming of the day I'll leave this battle's dread
Through the smoke and through the fire, I'll fight on
With your love in my heart, I'll carry on

(Chorus)
I'm coming home to you, my love, just wait
Through the storms and through the tears, I'll find my way
With every step, I'm closer to your side
In your arms, my love, I'll finally reside

(Verse 2)
In the letters that you send, I find my peace
Your words, they give me strength, they grant me release
With every sunrise, I'm one day near
To hold you close, to whisper, "I'm here"

(Chorus)
I'm coming home to you, my love, just wait
Through the storms and through the tears, I'll find my way
With every step, I'm closer to your side
In your arms, my love, I'll finally reside

(Verse 3)
In the darkness of the night, I still believe
That soon enough, my love, I'll finally be free
To walk with you, hand in hand, once more
To leave this war behind, and close the door

Love Battlefield

(Verse 1)
Houses stand in silent rows, windows sealed so tight
A feeling creeps within me, eyes watch in the night
I lift my gaze, searching for the storks' lively nest
A family thrives, a joyous, vibrant guest

(Chorus)
Two young ones chirp, their parents stand so tall
Contrasts I always loved, yet this one makes me fall
The joy of life against the houses cold and bare
Our beaks and I, with hopes we long to share

(Verse 2)
Empty spaces echo where life once used to be
The storks' delight, a stark reality
How can we explain this yearning in our soul?
To face the void, and make our spirits whole

(Bridge)
Perhaps it's hope that keeps us fixed on what's unseen
A promise whispered, a future yet to glean

(Chorus)
Two young ones chirp, their parents stand so tall
Contrasts I always loved, yet this one makes me fall
The joy of life against the houses cold and bare
Our beaks and I, with hopes we long to share

Silent Sentinels

(Verse 1)  
Soda pop and bobby socks, poodle skirt swayin' 
 Cruisin' down the boulevard, music blastin' and playin'  
Elvis on the radio, singin' sweet and low  
Got my gal beside me, baby, let the good times flow

(Chorus) 
 Rockin' and a-rollin', all through the night 
 Foot tappin', heart poundin', feelin' just right  
Shakin' to the rhythm, under the pale moonlight  
This feelin' inside, oh baby, it takes flight

(Verse 2)  
 Jukebox jumpin', malt shop chatter  
Swingin' on the dance floor, doesn't really matter  
Who's watchin', who's lookin', just lost in the beat  
Holdin' you close, baby, can't be beat

(Chorus) 
 Rockin' and a-rollin', all through the night 
 Foot tappin', heart poundin', feelin' just right  
Shakin' to the rhythm, under the pale moonlight  
This feelin' inside, oh baby, it takes flight

(Bridge) 
 Stars are shinin', moon is high  
Just you and me, beneath the sky 
 Let the music carry us, worries drift away  
This rockin' feeling, gonna last all day

(Chorus)
 Rockin' and a-rollin', all through the night  
Foot tappin', heart poundin', feelin' just right  
Shakin' to the rhythm, under the pale moonlight  
This feelin' inside, oh baby, it takes flight
