Blue

Sitting on your front porch Laughing and crying in my arms Wondering where did it go all wrong, It was July of 2018 When I said let’s be something Didn’t know that would be my last time, Oh I’m not trying to forget All the times you’d say I’d never quit Oh I’m not trying to forget How this all came to an end I’m not tryna forget, After a couple of years When I thought you disappeared I saw your pretty face again, Bumped into you at the store Tryna find the nearest door So that I can up and leave, As I started walking away You stopped me and said please stay You held me in your arms so tightly, Oh I’m no trying to forget All the times you’d say I’d never quit Oh I’m not trying to forget How this all came to an end I’m not tryna forget.

"No One Would Understand" I’ve been counting days in a house split in two, With Dad pacing halls, not sure what to do. Mom found herself with a woman last year, And I’m caught in a storm where nothing feels clear. They both say they love me, but it don’t feel whole, Like I’m a puzzle piece that don’t fit the mold. On the mat, I wrestle like I’ve got control, But it’s my own damn heart that’s taking the toll. I’m breaking apart, but I wear this face, Hiding the cracks, keeping my place. I could cry to the sky, scream to the land, But no one would hear, no one would understand. So I bury it deep, let the silence win, Carrying a weight I can’t hold within. Mom says she’s happy now, and I try to believe, But I see Dad staring at the floor, unable to breathe. He’s working late shifts just to keep himself sane, While I’m wrestling ghosts that won’t say their name. Nana used to call me her rock, her light, Now her photo watches me fall apart at night. I tell my coach, “Yeah, I’m good, let’s go,” But deep in my chest, there’s a war I don’t show. I’m breaking apart, but I wear this face, Hiding the cracks, keeping my place. I could cry to the sky, scream to the land, But no one would hear, no one would understand. So I bury it deep, let the silence win, Carrying a weight I can’t hold within. They see the medals, they see the grades, But they don’t see the boy who’s lost his way. Mom’s in love, and Dad’s still alone, And I’m just a kid who don’t know where’s home. Nana's Bible sits dusty on the shelf, I read her words but don’t trust myself. “Be strong,” they say, but what’s that mean, When the world’s split apart and I’m stuck in between? Some nights, I sit in my truck till it’s late, Counting the stars, trying to hold my weight. I whisper to the dark, “What’s wrong with me?” But the silence only answers, “Let it be.” I’m breaking apart, but I wear this face, Hiding the cracks, keeping my place. I could cry to the sky, scream to the land, But no one would hear, no one would understand. So I bury it deep, let the silence win, Carrying a weight I can’t hold within. Maybe someday, I’ll let it all go, Let the tears fall where the rivers flow. But tonight, I’ll stand like I’m unafraid, In a world that only sees the masks we’ve made. I’ll lace up my shoes, tie them tight, Wrestle my demons under the gym lights. And if they ask, “You doing okay, my man?” I’ll nod my head, like no one would understand.

*(Verse 1)* Underneath the starry sky, I see the light in your eyes, Every moment I spend with you, time just seems to fly. We’ve been through the highs and lows, the laughter and the tears, But I promise with all my heart, I’ll always be right here. *(Chorus)* 'Cause I love you with everything, every beat, every breath, In this crazy world, you’re my safe harbor, my best choice. With every sunset and sunrise, I’ll give you all I can, Girl, you know it's true, I love you with everything I am. *(Verse 2)* When the storms come raging in, and the nights are long and cold, I’ll be your shelter, I’ll keep you warm, I’ll hold you as we grow old. Every whisper in your ear, every kiss under the moon, You’re the heartbeat in my chest, my favorite love tune. *(Chorus)* 'Cause I love you with everything, every beat, every breath, In this crazy world, you’re my safe harbor, my best choice. With every sunset and sunrise, I’ll give you all I can, Girl, you know it's true, I love you with everything I am. *(Bridge)* I’d climb the highest mountain, swim across the deepest sea, 'Cause nothing would compare to how you make me feel so free. So take my hand, let’s dance through the night, Together we’ll shine, girl, you’re my guiding light. *(Chorus)* 'Cause I love you with everything, every beat, every breath, In this crazy world, you’re my safe harbor, my best choice. With every sunset and sunrise, I’ll give you all I can, Girl, you know it's true, I love you with everything I am. *(Outro)* So here’s my heart, here’s my soul, baby, it’s yours to keep, With everything I am, you’re the dream that runs so deep. Yeah, I love you with everything, my forever, my best plan, You’re the wish I made, I love you with everything I am.

I've been riding these backroads, chasing the sun, But it sets too quick, and the day is done. There's a cold wind whisperin' your name, And every mile feels the same. I see the horizon, it's painted in gold, But it fades to gray where the night takes hold. It ain't just the sky that's blue tonight, It's the ache in my heart, that doesn’t feel right. Your memory's a shadow I can't undo, And it ain't just the sky that's blue.

Wilted (Verse 1) I was the flower, left out on the shelf, Told I’d just fade, never bloom by myself. Memories of nights, tears on my pillow, Whispers of doubt, but I grew like a willow. (Pre-Chorus) They saw me wilt, thought I’d never stand tall, But watch me rise, I'm breaking down the wall. (Chorus) Now I'm wilted, but I’m rising from the ground, Every scar's a testament to how I found, The fire inside, ignited with my name, They underestimated me, but I changed the game. (Verse 2) Remember the days, when I stayed in the shade? Hiding from the light, while my dreams slowly fade. But I chased that sun, I stretched towards the heat, With every step I took, I felt my heart beat. (Pre-Chorus) They saw me wilt, thought I’d never stand tall, But watch me rise, I'm breaking down the wall. (Chorus) Now I'm wilted, but I’m rising from the ground, Every scar's a testament to how I found, The fire inside, ignited with my name, They underestimated me, but I changed the game. (Bridge) In the garden of doubt, I learned to thrive, Roots running deep, I’m finally alive. With every challenge faced, I embrace the fight, No more hiding away, I'm chasing the light. (Chorus) Now I'm wilted, but I’m rising from the ground, Every scar's a testament to how I found, The fire inside, ignited with my name, They underestimated me, but I changed the game. (Outro) So if you see a flower, standing proud in the sun, Know it’s the bloom of a girl who has finally won. I was once wilted, now I'm fiercely free, Confidence blooming, just wait and see.

"Annie's Unexpected Adventure" (Verse 1) Annie's got a secret, a Dollar Tree delight, She loves to hunt for bargains, morning, noon, and night. But on a sunny Tuesday, while browsing with glee, A little rumble in her tummy brought her to her knees. (Chorus) Oh Annie, sweet Annie, in the Dollar Tree plight, With a cart full of treasures, she's got to take flight. Through the aisles she scurries, in a funny little dance, Trying to make it home after shitting her pants. (Verse 2) Leaving her cart behind, she's running for the door, Clutching her dignity, she's never run this fast before. The checkout girl was puzzled, as Annie waved goodbye, A blush upon her cheeks, a tear in her eye. (Chorus) Oh Annie, sweet Annie, in the Dollar Tree plight, With a cart full of treasures, she's got to take flight. Through the aisles she scurries, in a funny little dance, Trying to make it home after shitting her pants. (Bridge) Now Annie's got a story, one she laughs about, A little mishap in the store, there was never a doubt. But she'll be back tomorrow, with a smile and a plan, Because nothing keeps her away from her Dollar Tree land. (Outro) Oh Annie, sweet Annie, with your shopping heart so true, Even when life surprises, you'll always make it through. With a cart full of dreams and a spirit bold and free, You'll always find your way back to the Dollar Tree

“From Vodka to Tractor Tires” (Verse 1) Kane’s in the city, drinkin’ vodka straight, Livin’ for the nightlife, stayin’ out too late. Rent’s overdue, but he don’t seem to care, Wastin’ his time in a leather chair. He’s got big dreams, but no follow-through, Keeps talkin’ ‘bout changes he’s never gonna do. Mama’s on the phone sayin’, “Boy, wake up! You can’t live your life off a liquor cup.” (Chorus) He needs a good girl with dirt on her hands, To pull him out of his city plans. A little tough love and a firm demand, “Get your boots on, boy, be a real man.” From vodka and neon to tractor tires, Kane needs a farm girl to light his fire. (Verse 2) One Friday night at a honky-tonk bar, He saw her walk in, lookin’ like a star. Boot-cut jeans and a steady stare, She said, “City boy, what you doin’ here?” She called him out, said, “You’re out of place, But there’s a man somewhere behind that face. If you want a chance, then you better prove, You can swap that vodka for workin’ boots.” (Chorus) He found a good girl with dirt on her hands, She pulled him out of his city plans. Gave him tough love and a firm demand, “Get your boots on, boy, be a real man.” From vodka and neon to tractor tires, Kane’s got a farm girl who lit his fire. (Bridge) Now he’s out in the fields, learnin’ the ropes, Swappin’ city lights for wide-open hopes. He traded his high-rise for a barn and hay, And he’s never been happier workin’ each day. (Outro) No more vodka, no late-night haze, Kane’s found strength in his early days. With a farm girl by his side, he’s finally inspired, From city boy lost to the man she admired. From vodka and neon to tractor tires, Kane found his purpose and lit his fire.

There lived a certain chubby boy in Turkey long ago Thinks he’s big and strong, which his bald head and ugly glow Most people look at him with wisdom and with pride But to the YFGA he is physically wide He could talk of common sense and of criminals Full of fake confidence and fire But he also is the kind of YouTuber Everyone else knows is a liar Or-or-Orospu Lover of the Turkish cook There were his mustache that really was gone Or-or-Orospu Canada’s greatest roach machine It was a shame how he moved on He posted a bunch of shit, and would always whine But in his live streams and videos, he would whistle like a swine In all his “dickhead” videos, he was the man to please But he was real great when he had some politicians to creese For Trudeau he was no Turkish terrorist Though he’d heard the things he said He believed he was a fat bald errorist Who would whistle like he’s sped Or-or-Orospu Lover of the Turkish cook There were his mustache that really was gone Or-or-Orospu Canada’s greatest roach machine It was a shame how he moved on But when his whistling and yapping And his hunger for the moral high ground Became known to more and more people The demands to do something About this bald incomplete goatee having chubby boy Became more and more compound Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey "This man's just got to go", declared the Ripple hackers But his fanboys said, “How are we now going to be slackers?” No doubt this Orospu had it coming and flunked off Though he was a bald chubby boy, they would just give off a scoff Then Ali Koca met his IT nerd friend, asked for help, he is to blame Help me get back on my account now and he’s back playing the same game Or-or-Orospu Lover of the Turkish cook Got his account back, he’s gonna yap Or-or-Orospu Canada’s greatest roach machine Then he starts complaining about how he needs a nap Or-or-Orospu Lover of the Turkish cook If he doesn’t stop, we’ll shave his goatee Or-or-Orospu Canada’s greatest roach machine And so we’ll spam, until we are free Oh, that Tombul oğlan Orospu.

(Verse 1) Sunrise over fields of gold, a rooster starts to crow Daddy’s up before the light, watchin’ the wind flow He’s got dirt beneath his fingernails, from workin’ hard all day But there’s somethin’ else that sets him apart, in a mighty kinda way (Chorus) He’s a commander in chief, a leader, strong and bold He wears that suit with shoulders square, a story to be told But underneath that button-down, there’s a heart that’s true and blue He’s a Navy sailor through and through, and that’s what I look up to (Verse 2) I remember pictures on the wall, in his uniform so neat Standin’ proud upon that ship, conquerin’ the ocean’s beat He told me tales of distant shores, of loyalty and might Said “Son, there’s nothin’ stronger than, standin’ up for what is right” (Chorus) He’s a commander in chief, a leader, strong and bold He wears that suit with shoulders square, a story to be told But underneath that button-down, there’s a heart that’s true and blue He’s a Navy sailor through and through, and that’s what I look up to (Bridge) Some folks just see the headlines, some folks only hear them shout They don't know the man I know, what his heart is all about He carries on the burdens, that no one else can see But in his eyes I still see, just the sailor he’s meant to be (Chorus) He’s a commander in chief, a leader, strong and bold He wears that suit with shoulders square, a story to be told But underneath that button-down, there’s a heart that’s true and blue He’s a Navy sailor through and through, and that’s what I look up to (Outro) Yeah, he's a Navy sailor, through and through The kind of man America needs, and a father honest and true. Anchors and the Oval, a powerful, proud domain And I’m so proud to call him, Daddy, my hero, in the rain or sun.

(Verse 1) I've been walking down this lonesome road, Carrying the weight of stories I’ve never told. Every handshake feels like a sharpened blade, Too many promises have quickly frayed. (Pre-Chorus) They say time heals, but the scars still show, And I'm learning to let the rivers flow. (Chorus) There's a fence around my heart, built strong and high, From too many nights where I’ve wondered why. It’s not that I don’t want to let love in, But trust is a bridge that’s worn and thin. I’m trying to find a way to start, Breaking the fence around my heart. (Verse 2) I’ve seen kindness turn to bitter lies, Watched the brightest stars fall from the skies. But there’s a whisper in the morning breeze, Telling me I’ve gotta plant new seeds. (Pre-Chorus) It's a slow dance, learning faith again, Holding onto hope like an old best friend. (Chorus) There's a fence around my heart, built strong and high, From too many nights where I’ve wondered why. It’s not that I don’t want to let love in, But trust is a bridge that’s worn and thin. I’m trying to find a way to start, Breaking the fence around my heart. (Bridge) Every plank was nailed by a broken dream, But I’m learning things aren’t always what they seem. If I tear it down, piece by piece, Maybe my soul will find some peace. (Chorus) There’s a fence around my heart, but it’s working down, Brick by brick, I’m finding solid ground. It’s not that I don’t want to let love in, I just need to believe again. I’m trying finding a way to start, Breaking the fence around my heart. (Outro) So here I stand with open hands, Hoping someone will understand. The fence is tough, and though it’s hard, I’m healing the cracks in my guarded heart.

Verse 1: In a village burned by the US Army’s hand, A young boy fled, leaving behind his homeland. Rodri Wolfe, with a heart full of pain, Was picked up by his father, in the pouring rain. Chorus: Oh, Rodri Wolfe, the outlaw of the west, Trained as an assassin, he was the best. From robberies to hold-ups, he made his stand, With Johnny by his side, they roamed the land. Verse 2: At fifteen, he learned the truth so dire, His father was behind the village fire. With a heavy heart, he took his father’s life, And fled with Johnny, through the night. Chorus: Oh, Rodri Wolfe, the outlaw of the west, Trained as an assassin, he was the best. From robberies to hold-ups, he made his stand, With Johnny by his side, they roamed the land. Verse 3: At eighteen, he met Rican, his future friend, Joined The Wapinshaw Gang, but it met its end. Corruption took over, and Rodri stood alone, A bounty hunter, an outlaw, his legend was known. Chorus: Oh, Rodri Wolfe, the outlaw of the west, Trained as an assassin, he was the best. From robberies to hold-ups, he made his stand, With Johnny by his side, they roamed the land. Bridge: In 1915, he found love and a family, But the Inner Circle hunted him relentlessly. In 1930, in a saloon’s final fight, Rodri went out in a blaze of glory that night. Chorus: Oh, Rodri Wolfe, the outlaw of the west, Trained as an assassin, he was the best. From robberies to hold-ups, he made his stand, With Johnny by his side, they roamed the land. Outro: Rodri Wolfe, remembered in song, The best outlaw in the west, where he belonged. His story lives on, in the hearts of the brave, A legend of the wild, his name will never fade.
