Morning drinking just to get thinking, got to hide that liquor breath so I can pretend to be normal just like you. This was never suppose to be me. Wrapped around a bottle and feeling hollow. Tired of trying, tired of crying, tired of lying. Years disappear, people gone, bonds broken, now I’m the toxic one. Gotta fix me, gotta get me back, I made a decision to keep on living but the road is long and hard. Nights dealing with demons and no bottle to turn to. Cold sweats, shakes and Ativan to help get me thru. Chairs in a circle, stories to tell and stories to hear, one day at time learning to accept things with courage and wisdom. Trying hard to keep my word and let my truth be heard. The life I have been living I have to keep digging to make it right. Always on my mind trying to leave it behind. I am trying to get it right but everyday is a fight. I am going to survive and wait for that life I'm striving to hold. Chairs in a circle, stories to tell and stories to hear, one day at time learning to accept things with courage and wisdom. Trying hard to keep my word and let my truth be heard

[Verse] There’s a snow-covered cabin on the hillside, A fire cracklin’, warm by the pine. The smell of Mama’s cider fills the air, And Grandpa's old clock softly chimes. [Verse 2] The tree stands tall with handmade decorations, Red and green lights glowing bright. The family gathers ‘round in jubilation, Together under starry lights. [Chorus] Christmas in the country, feel the love abound, Simple joys and laughter, everywhere the sound. Hearts are full of blessings, and peace is found, Christmas in the country, love’s all around. [Verse 3] Daddy’s strumming softly on his old guitar, Kids are singing carols, pure and true. The warmth of this old home can reach so far, Especially on nights like these with you. [Bridge] Snowflakes dance outside the frosty window, While we nestle close by the fire's gleam. Telling stories of old, where memories flow, In this peaceful country Christmas dream. [Chorus] Christmas in the country, feel the love abound, Simple joys and laughter, everywhere the sound. Hearts are full of blessings, and peace is found, Christmas in the country, love’s all around.

Out on the farm where the green grass grows, Courtney’s got a love that everyone knows. With a heart so big and a smile so bright, She’s out with the cows from morning to night. Courtney, Courtney, out in the field, With the cows that she loves, her heart’s been healed. From the moo of the cow to the soft, warm breeze, Courtney and her cows, living wild and free. (Verse 2) She knows every cow by name and by sound, They follow her footsteps all over the ground. With a brush in her hand, she’ll make them shine, She’s got that bond that’s one of a kind. Courtney, Courtney, out in the field, With the cows that she loves, her heart’s been healed. From the moo of the cow to the soft, warm breeze, Courtney and her cows, living wild and free.

[Verse] Down in Green Hill Zone, fast as a streak, Sonic found a love, both wild and unique. Shadow with his gaze, darker than night, Two hedgehogs runnin', hearts takin' flight. [Chorus] Rollin' with shadows, hand in hand, Speedin' through life, across this land. In rings and loops, their hearts collide, Sonic and Shadow, side by side. [Verse 2] On the winding paths, they face each test, Together they stand, better than the rest. With a spin and a dash, they erase their fears, In the world they forged, away from jeers. [Chorus] Rollin' with shadows, hand in hand, Speedin' through life, across this land. In rings and loops, their hearts collide, Sonic and Shadow, side by side. [Bridge] Through battles and chases, they find their way, Racing each sunset, welcoming each day. In the quiet moments, their love so true, Sonic and Shadow, just me and you. [Chorus] Rollin' with shadows, hand in hand, Speedin' through life, across this land. In rings and loops, their hearts collide, Sonic and Shadow, side by side.

[Instrumental]

Well, here I am, all alone, The saddest night that I’ve ever known, She’s out there with my buddy of mine, Guess I blew my chance, I didn't say a line. Now I’m out here, huntin’ deer, Just me and the woods and my last cold beer, And that boy’s got her eyes, I don’t know if it’s his money or his last name, But all I know, I’m stuck in a deer stand. I’m bawlin’ my eyes out, While she’s twirlin’ ‘round the dance floor, Spinnin’ ‘round that old gym floor, I’m sinkin' down to my lowest low, Prayin' for a deer to take the pain, While she prays this night don’t end, Talkin’ like it’s over, While I’m stuck in a deer stand. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, Her daddy don’t like guys like mine, But if he’d take a long look at my eyes, Maybe he’d see we’d be dancin’ all night, But I’m out here in the cold, With nothin’ but this rifle and my heart gone cold, She’s out there laughin’ and havin’ fun, While I’m missin’ out on what could’ve been the one. Yeah, I’m bawlin’ my eyes out, While she’s twirlin’ ‘round the dance floor, Spinnin’ ‘round that old gym floor, I’m sinkin' down to my lowest low, Prayin' for a deer to take the pain, While she prays this night don’t end, Talkin’ like it’s over, While I’m stuck in a deer stand. Well, the hours keep on movin’, The dance floor’s full, she’s smilin' bright, And here I am, just a fool with a rifle, Hoping this night’ll turn out right, But the only thing that’s movin’ now, Is the moonlight shining down, And I can’t get that girl outta my head, While I’m stuck in a deer stand. Yeah, I’m bawlin’ my eyes out, While she’s twirlin’ ‘round the dance floor, Spinnin’ ‘round that old gym floor, I’m sinkin' down to my lowest low, Prayin' for a deer to take the pain, While she prays this night don’t end, Talkin’ like it’s over, While I’m stuck in a deer stand. Well, I guess it’s gettin’ late, She’s still out there dancin’ all night long, But I think I’ve finally found me my deer— POP.

Well, I ain’t been drinking, but hell, I can’t drink, Still, I was thinking 'bout you, and that boy you think’s the one, He don’t care for you like the king of rednecks would, You say you’re happy with a stranger, some nerd who likes Japan, I think it’s kinda gay, but hey, I don’t really mind, You say money can’t hit a ball, But when you were talking to me, seemed like that’s the only thing you cared that I shared. Money can’t buy a prayer, But it can buy your folks outta jail, It can buy you Christmas for the kids and a tree so tall. It can buy a birthday gift, put a smile on your face, But I guess money wasn’t the only thing you needed to see long. Yeah, you told me 'bout your ex, how he sent you a deck, You said you didn’t like it, but I saw the way you smiled, We spent an hour talkin' 'bout him, ‘bout all that he did wrong. But let’s be real, you knew he’d cheat, Still, you took him back, maybe ‘cause you thought you’d seen something. Kept flirting with Greg, even after he showed his ring, Good ol' Greg paid me twenty bucks just to flirt with you. What a deal that was, ain’t it true? But when you told me ‘bout your past, I swore I’d never speak, I’d offer you money, if I said a word. And you told me you were Christian, I’m not one to judge, But you acted like you cared. Maybe you should be careful who you play pretend with, 'Cause money wasn’t the only thing you saw long. Well, I don’t know if I should be mad at ya, But how you gonna ghost the guy you opened up to? Why’d I trust ya, when it was clear— Clearer than most—you were fallin' for that nerd, That guy who loves Japan. Maybe you like women, hell, I don’t know, I don’t care. But the money wasn’t the only thing you wanted to be long.

[Verse] Saw you standin' on my front porch, With that look I can't ignore, Memories rushin' back in force, Like the waves upon the shore. [Verse 2] You say you've changed, you're not the same, Left behind the wild and free, Gone's the man who brought me pain, Now there's hope where hurt used to be. [Chorus] So hold my hand and let's begin, A brand new page, we'll write again, Love that heals, no more pretend, Let's find the joy that never ends. [Verse 3] Late night talks under the stars, Sharing dreams and battle scars, Once was lost, but here we are, Findin' love in who we are. [Verse 4] No more runnin', no more games, Weathered storms, we've learned to tame, You've come back to stake your claim, In my heart, you'll find your name. [Bridge] Promises of days to come, Two old souls findin' home, Lettin' go of what we've done, Turnin' shadows into sun.

Bridge: Snowflakes whisper a song so sweet, Echoed in the sound of hearts that meet. Outside’s a winter wonderland, But love holds stronger hand in hand.

Outro: Cold outside, but warm within, A merry Christmas, let love begin.

"Frog in My Pocket" (A Song About Sobriety and Faith) Verse 1: Two years sober, I was lost in my mind, Searching for answers I struggled to find. In a room in West Virginia, an old man sat, He smiled and said, "Son, I'll tell you 'bout that." He said, "Keep a frog in your pocket, and you'll find your way, Fully rely on God every single day. It’s a little reminder when the road gets rough, With faith in your heart, you’ll always have enough." Chorus: Oh, a frog in my pocket, a prayer in my soul, Through the darkest of nights, it’s made me whole. Five years later, I owe him my fight, To Cotton and his wisdom, my guiding light. Verse 2: I came back to that meeting, my heart to share, But the chair where he sat was empty there. They said Cotton had passed just a week before, And I wished I could thank him once more. So I bowed my head and whispered his name, "Your frog saved my life, through struggle and pain. Though you’re gone, your words carry on, In every sober morning, every new dawn." Chorus: Oh, a frog in my pocket, a prayer in my soul, Through the darkest of nights, it’s made me whole. Seven years later, I owe him my fight, To Cotton and his wisdom, my guiding light. Bridge: Now I tell the story in rooms far and wide, About a man named Cotton and the frog by my side. It’s a simple truth, but it runs so deep, A promise to hold, a treasure to keep. Chorus: Oh, a frog in my pocket, a prayer in my soul, Through the darkest of nights, it’s made me whole. five years later, I owe him my fight, To Cotton and his wisdom, my guiding light. Outro: So I keep a frog in my pocket, his words in my heart, Fully rely on God—that’s where it starts. Thank you, Cotton, for the life you’ve shown, Your legacy lives, in every seed you’ve sown.

[Verse] Bob's got a smile that'll light up the room, Got a way with words, makes the ladies swoon, Spent his nights at the local dive, Sippin' on Bud Light, feelin' alive. [Verse 2] Every Friday night, he's got a date, With a girl who's starin' and stayin' up late, Sarah, Jenny, Lucy and Claire, They all love Bob, they ain't goin' nowhere. [Chorus] Bob's a ladies' man, drink in his hand, Bud Light and whiskey, he's got it all planned, Every gal in town wants a piece of his heart, But Bob’s too wild, can’t tie him down from the start. [Verse 3] They whisper his name in the neon light, Bob's always ready for a fun-filled night, He knows how to dance, knows how to charm, With a shot of whiskey tucked under his arm. [Verse 4] They talk about him down at the store, Every girl keeps comin' back for more, Bob ain't lonesome, never alone, He's got a pick-up truck and a way with the phone. [Bridge] Some say he's a heartbreaker, through and through, But every girl smiles when he says “I love you”, Ain't no promises made, just livin' free, Bob's love is a game, and he's winning, you'll see.
