Verse 1
Bill has run a restaurant
For nearly all his life
His kids are grown, they’ve flown the coop
It’s just him and his wife
He’s served both kings and paupers
He as seen it all
The key to happiness for him
Is simply living small.
Chorus
He said,
“I used to sit and drink all day
And then I’d drink all night
I used to party hearty with all my friends
‘Til the early morning light
I always went for the touchdown,
The fortune, and the fame
Now when I am on the field
I just try to move the chains.”
Verse 2
Stu is a screen writer
Who scored a few hits on TV
He writes twenty ..read more

"A Little Thought I'd Like to Share"” by Meyer and McGuire
Verse 1:
I have coffee with my dad, sometimes it’s good and sometimes bad
He tells me about all his aches and pains
The news never seems too good, people don’t do what they should
And he wishes that our leaders had some brains
And when the coffee’s done, well it’s time for him to run
He has to get out there to greet the day
After finishing his chores, it’s to the bank and grocery store
Then a visit with some friends at the VA
Chorus:
Just keep moving, don’t stand still
It doesn’t matter if you’re headed up or down the hill
There’s alw ..read more

"All They Say Is Progress" by Frank Meyer
Verse 1
Well, I hear the shell fish are dyin'
Down on the ocean floor
And I hear there is garbage
Washin' up that Jersey shore
And I hear the oil slicks are awful big
Down off of Galveston
And I hear the place that's worst of all
Is that harbor in B-Town
Chorus
Yet, all they say is, "Progress!
"We're gettin' better every day."
Well, there sure seems to be a difference
In what I hear and what they say.
In what I hear and what they say.
Verse 2
Well, I hear they got these CFC's
Ruinin' the atmosphere
And I he ..read more

"Caught in the Middle" by Meyer & McGuire
Verse 1
I like to play for the rednecks ‘cause they clap and sing along,
And if you don’t play what they want, they’ll tell you that you’re wrong,
And when you miss a note or two, they don’t really care,
As long as they can stomp their feet, they’re glad to have you there.
They like their country music, a bluegrass tune or two,
Some rock, some blues, a few dirty songs will always get you through,
And when your gig is over, and it’s time for you to go,
They’ll nod their heads to let you know how much they loved your show.
Chorus

"Sometimes It's Never Over"
Verse 1:
We sat out on the back deck in the quiet of twilight
Watching as the sun slowly set and the day slipped into night
The summer air was so oppressive, but not as heavy as our hearts
The sad sound of a mourning dove hinted soon we'd be apart
Chorus:
They say nothing last forever, and I wish that this was so
But sometimes it's never over, 'cause we just cannot let go
Verse 2:
We looked off into the distance, neither uttering a word
Truth had come to visit us, and he wanted to be heard
"Is there something I can do?" she sat still and did not ..read more

"The Road Less Traveled"
(Not a Spotify member? Free accounts are available.)
Verse 1
I remember, it was in the spring
For all my friends those wedding bells did ring
But for me, nothing came along
Except this guitar and a chance to write some songs
So, I sat down, let my words flow
And just like little children, watched them grow
And as I guided them with my heart and hands
They began to spread their joy throughout the land
Chorus
There are many roads to travel
Many things to be
It seems the road less traveled
Has worked the best for me
Verse 2
And I remember, it was summer time ..read more

Verse 1
I like the country; she likes the city life
I wish she told me this before she became my wife
She likes to wander those canyons made of steel
I like to analyze the way those breezes feel
Chorus
And I'm not feelin' so good
And I don't get the peace I should
And my heart keeps on tellin' me,
"Set yourself free"
Instrumental
Verse 2
She likes the big house, pool out in the yard
I'm not the kind of guy who likes to work that hard
She likes to socialize just about every night
I like to sit at home by that firelight
Chorus
