Where were you on the night of thunder? When hailstones covered the land When thunder jarred the earth asunder And struck fear in every cowhand? Dare to sleep if you will. There’s a rumble in the hills. The sound of thunder so chilling. It starts the herd milling. An old steer snorted. Then another got up Like rising from the dead A raging fire began to spread. A roar of a thousand trumpets An Erie glow descended. Like fingers of lights on horns A stampede is born. Like a snake coiled ready to strike Shield your eyes from the light. For the Fox Fire is here With vengeance tonight. Where were you on the night of thunder When hailstones covered the land When thunder jarred the earth asunder And struck fear in every cowhand? Don’t hesitate in the thicket of hell. Grip your reins and clutch your pommel. Forget the rain, hail, and dust. Shut your eyes if you must. Ride your pony for him you trust. He’s busting a gut to turn the tide. So, Cowboy do what you must To hell with Fox Fire Through rain, wind, dust, and mud The Stampede slows and all is calm Cookie offers a tin of coffee to the weary. But,l when it’s all said and done Those dam hides and horns those waddies still love. Where were you on the night of thunder When hailstones covered the land When thunder jarred the earth asunder And struck fear in every cowhand?

I Shit Myself (Country Song) Verse 1: It was a long night at the honky-tonk, Too much whiskey, too much beer in my cup. I was two-steppin’ strong, feelin’ like a king, Till that rumble hit, and I lost everything. Pre-Chorus: You can call it bad luck, or a poor life choice, But I heard the warning, in that little voice… Chorus: I shit myself, right there on the floor, Tried to play it cool, but I ran for the door. Life comes at you fast, when your pride takes a fall, Yeah, I shit myself, in front of them all. Verse 2: Sarah Jean was laughin’, my buddies were, too, I tried to explain, but what could I do? The jukebox kept playin’ a George Strait song, But I knew in my heart, I couldn’t stay long. Pre-Chorus: A man’s gotta face the mess that he’s made, But some things, my friend, you just can’t evade. Chorus: I shit myself, right there in my jeans, It ain’t the kind of story for a movie scene. You can fall off a horse, and you’ll still stand tall, But I shit myself, and I lost it all. Bridge: Maybe next time, I’ll skip that chili dog, Lay off the beer, or call it a night. But for now, I’m the legend of the dance hall floor, A cautionary tale they’ll tell evermore. Chorus (repeat): I shit myself, oh, what a surprise, The look on their faces, I’ll never disguise. Life’s got its moments, both big and small, But I shit myself, and I took the fall. Outro: So raise a glass to the trials we face, To the lessons learned, and the moments of grace. But if you’re like me, and you’ve been through hell… Just laugh it off and say, “Yeah, I shit myself.”
When the weight of the world is pressing down, And your weary heart can barely make a sound. When the night is long, and hope feels gone, Remember, you’re not walking this alone. Lift your eyes to where the light breaks through, In the quiet, He whispers peace to you. There’s peace beyond the storm, strength within the fight, Love that holds you close through the darkest night. Rest in His embrace, lay your burdens down, In the arms of grace, you’ll find solid ground. When the road ahead is shrouded and unclear, And every step is tangled up in fear. His promises stand, they won’t ever fade, Trust His steady hand through the waves. Breathe in deep, and know He holds your soul, In the chaos, He’s still in control. There’s peace beyond the storm, strength within the fight, Love that holds you close through the darkest night. Rest in His embrace, lay your burdens down, In the arms of grace, you’ll find solid ground. You are seen, you are known, in every tear you cry, His mercy flows like rivers, never running dry. Hold fast to His truth, let His comfort lead, In your deepest valley, He meets every need. There’s peace beyond the storm, strength within the fight, Love that holds you close through the darkest night. Rest in His embrace, lay your burdens down, In the arms of grace, you’ll find solid ground. When the storm has passed, and dawn brings light, His love remains, still holding you tight. Through every season, He’s faithful and true, In every trial, His peace carries you.

Down in Mansfield, on a campus so bright, There’s Donna Hight, keeps the students in line, Dean of the school, got that boss lady grace, She runs the whole show with a smile on her face. But at night when she’s home, and the work day is done, She’s got a partner in crime, a love that’s second to none, It’s Alex Naples, her sweet McDonald’s wife, A 70s soul who’s lived a colorful life. Chorus Oh, Donna and Alex, they make the perfect pair, One’s a campus queen, the other’s a teacher who cares, With their love so strong, they can take on the world, One’s got the books, and the other’s got the curls. From the classroom to the fries, they’re always in sync, Two hearts beat together, faster than you’d think. Donna and Alex, oh what a story they write, Love’s got no rules, just a flame burning bright. Verse 2 Now Alex is a student, on the road to teach, Middle childhood dreams, she’s got that wisdom to reach, With a heart full of passion and a mind full of plans, She’s ready to shape the next generation of hands. But she don’t just work the counter, no, she’s got more to give, She teaches the kids the way she’s always lived, In a world full of change, love’s the thing that stays, Like a vinyl record spinning those sweet 70s days. Chorus Oh, Donna and Alex, they make the perfect pair, One’s a campus queen, the other’s a teacher who cares, With their love so strong, they can take on the world, One’s got the books, and the other’s got the curls. From the classroom to the fries, they’re always in sync, Two hearts beat together, faster than you’d think. Donna and Alex, oh what a story they write, Love’s got no rules, just a flame burning bright. Bridge In the small-town air, they’re a beacon of pride, No secrets to hide, just love on their side, From Mansfield to the drive-thru, they’re makin’ their mark, Like a sweet summer firefly lighting up the dark. Chorus Oh, Donna and Alex, they make the perfect pair, One’s a campus queen, the other’s a teacher who cares, With their love so strong, they can take on the world, One’s got the books, and the other’s got the curls. From the classroom to the fries, they’re always in sync, Two hearts beat together, faster than you’d think. Donna and Alex, oh what a story they write, Love’s got no rules, just a flame burning bright. Outro So here’s to the ladies, from the 70s to now, Teaching us all how to love anyhow, Donna and Alex, they stand proud and true, Showin’ the world love is always brand new.
[Verse] They call him Eddie the Gun out by the long cliff Dust in his boots no place for the swift In the corral where shadows sit still Gun fighting the slows with iron and will [Verse 2] Eddie's hand quick like a striking snake Whispers of legends by the still lake Tumbleweeds crawling the dusty terrain A heartbeat syncs with the clinking chain [Chorus] Eddie the Gun never misses his mark In the twilight dim or the noon stark Echoes of shots paint the evening red A tale of fate that cowboys dread [Verse 3] He faces the wind that bites like a knife Twilight's approaching compressing life Heads held down prayers in the air Eddie stands steady with a lion's glare [Chorus] Eddie the Gun never misses his mark In the twilight dim or the noon stark Echoes of shots paint the evening red A tale of fate that cowboys dread [Bridge] Years gone by stories still told Of Eddie the Gun and his heart of cold Lone star night and the desert's embrace No one's forgotten his solemn face

(Verse 2) You open up, and I listen close, Your fears, your dreams, everything you know, I promise you, I’ll never let you go, I see the beauty in your soul. Your strength, your humor, how you shine, You lift me up every single time, And when the world feels too much to bear, I’ll be your rock, I’ll always be there.

In your heart, I see my home, With you, I’ll never be alone, Together, we’ll face the world outside, I’ll spend my life by your side. (Outro) Forever by your side, that’s where I’ll be, Through all that’s to come, just you and me, With every step, we’ll make it through, I’ll spend my life loving you.
