IN TUPELO

WE ARE RUNNIN REBELS TRYIN'
TO FIND OUR WAY
TO SOME REDNECK

BEFORE THE DARK
THERE WAS LIGHT
OUR LOVE WAS BURNING SO 
VERY BRIGHT.
UNTIL THE STORM CAME AND WHISKED
YOU AWAY.
BACK THEN OUR LOVE WAS STRONG AS THE
NIGHT AND DAY.
HOW DID IT ALL GET SWEPT AWAY?

BUT NOW ALL HOPE SEEMS LOST.
AS I SEARCH FOR SHOOT-ING STARS
TO GUIDE MY HEART THAT'S SLOWLY DYING
TO GUIDE ME BACK TO THE FLOCK.
WITHOUT YOU HERE I'VE GOT NO ONE.
MY LIFE IS EMPTY AS THIS DARKENED WORLD.
ALL THAT'S GOING THROUGH MY HEAD 
IS MY ONE WISH THAT 
SOMEDAY THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN

CHORUS:

SOME DAY THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN
BURNING BRIGHTER THAN IT'S EVER BLAZED BEFORE.
SOMEDAY THE STORM WILL CLEAR AND OPEN ALL THE 
CLOSED LOCKED DOORS.
AND ONE DAY WHEN THE DARKNESS FADES
I'LL HEAR YOUR VOICE CALLING OUT MY NAME.
I'LL HEAR YOUR ECHO THROUGH THE WIND
OH YEAH I HOPE THAT THIS RAGING STORM WILL END 
AND THAT 
SOMEDAY THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN

MY DAUGHTER CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL ONE DAY.
WHILE I WAS OUT BAILIN' THE HAY.
I CAME IN THE DOOR WHEN IT STARTED TO RAIN.
SHE ASKED ME DAD IS IT ALL-RIGHT?
IF I ASK OUT THIS GUY I LIKE?

I ASKED HER WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT WHAT'S YOUR PLAN OR PLOY?
ISHE SAID I'M THINKIN' ABOUT ASKIN' OUT THIS NEW BOY?
I ASKED HER IS IT BOBBY JOHN, LUKE WIL-SON OR STU? IF ITS TOMMY HOUSTON I JUST MIGHT PUKE.
SHE SAID NO DADDY, ITS JUST THE NEIGHBOR'S BOY, BOBBY MCHUGH.
CAN I ASK HIM PLEASE? OH DADDY.
I LOVE YOU.

CHORUS: 

I SAID I THINK I'LL INVITE HIM OVER TOMORROW
A LITTLE BIT PAST NINE
JUST WHEN HARVEST DAY IS AT AN END 
SO HE CAN KNOW THE RULES AND I CAN
DRAW THE LINE.
I'LL SIT DOWN FOR A LITTLE CHAT OVER SOME COUNTRY 
MUSIC AND A COUPLE BEERS.
THEN WE'LL GO OUT TO THE PASTURE TOGETHER
TO HERD IN THE STEERS.
WHEN WE'RE THROUGH WITH THAT LONG HARD 
CATTLE DRIIIIVE.
I'LL TAKE HIM OUT ON THE TRACTOR AND WE'LL

V1

The store-fronts are boarded up.
The folks we knew have left town.
they've gone to greener pastures,
but we're still hangin around.
No matter what they say
it's the only place we've known
in our lives.
No we're not going to let
not gonna let
our little town die.

Chorus:

There's Amy's General Store.
Jerry's Hardware.
There's the old post office,
The old high school
and the old town square.
There's the statue of
mayor Palmer from 1953.
and the little church 
out by the creek where
we got married.
There's old Johnson's farm
and the old covered bridge.
There's O'reily park
and that view from the ridge.
Now I'd be lyin if I told
you we wouldn't be fightin.
to keep this little town alive.
No we won't let this
No we won't let
this little town die.



Bridge:

The land developers want to take our
town away.
But we're stayin put till its final day.
They want to redesign it their way.
To those corporate folks
we're going to say no way.
We're not going to let you tear it up or down.
We're not going to let you ruin this small town.
We'll bring em' back to the town we
all love. 
yeah -
We're going to rebuild it like the way it was.









Chorus:

There's Amy's General Store.

Jerry's Hardware.
There's the old post office,

There's the statue of

mayor palmer from 1953.

There's the high school

Class of 73

and the church where

we got married.

There's old Johnson's farm

and the old covered bridge.

There's O'reily park

and that view from the ridge.

Now I'd be lyin if I told

you we wouldn't be fightin.

to keep this little town alive.

No we won't let this

little town die.

Yeah we're going to be fightin'

to keep this town alive.

MAYBE IT JUST WASN'T MEANT TO BE
(c) 2017

V1

We had it all
but then we slowly
began to fall
Drifting out into outer-space
until we had no-thing at all

Well,
no matter how hard I tried
to pull back I could never see
That maybe in the end there
was nothing we could do
Maybe it was just never meant to be.



CHORUS:

As I look back on our love
as I think about the good times we shared
to-gether
As I look back on those days
Back when you thought like a
fairy tale , it'd last for-ever.
But then the storm came rollin' in
and washed all our dreams away
As we drift-ed apart, out to sea.
I began to think
Maybe it was just never meant to be.

CHANGING TIDES (OF LIFE) (c) 2017

CHANGING TIDES (OF LIFE) (c) 2017 



When you believe in yourself
when you believe in your heart
You can do anything you put your mind to
Even shine a light into the dark

When you believe in yourself
and you put trust in your heart
you'll overcome all your fears
there's no better time to start. 

YEAH - 

CHORUS: 

Ebb and flow
its all part of life
which path in the end
will you de-cide?
Up and down
left and right
like the phases of the moon
its the chang-ing of the tides
of life.

WALKIN' THROUGH THE LONE-LY 
BLUE-GRASS 
WATCHIN' THE CATTLE 
GRAZE. 

SINCE YOU LEFT ME FOR
CALI-FORNIA 
MY WORLD'S BEEN 
STUCK IN A 
SMOGGY HAZE.

MY WORLD IS IN A NOSE-DIVE
MY HEART IS SHATTERED INTO PIECES.
MY MIND IS IN A DAZE.
I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON MY PRIDE.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO LET MY LOVE SHINE. 
I'M GOING TO GRAB THE RIGNS AND LET IT ALL
RIDE. 
OH WHAT I'D GIVE FOR ONE MORE CHANCE TO TURN THE TIDE

VICTORY.
YOU WERE ALL MY LIGHT

ITS TIME TO THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE AND 
GIVE MORE THAN WE TAKE.
I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU STAY THIS TIME.
I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE.
YOU WERE ALL MY LIGHT 
MY HEART
MY SOUL
YOU ENABLED ME TO CARRY ON
