Twisted Tunes

[Verse] Broken steps on cracked pavement Echoes of words you never meant Sky fades into a tired gray Took the warmth of you away [Chorus] Still I walk these streets alone A place we used to call our own Every corner whispers your name Lonely shadows fuel the blame [Verse 2] Rain falls through the neon haze Lost in this unending maze Your absence louder than the rain Familiar silence sings of pain [Chorus] Still I walk these streets alone A place we used to call our own Every corner whispers your name Lonely shadows fuel the blame [Bridge] Why did we fall just to be tossed aside Searching for answers the night won't provide Staring at a shattered frame of what could be The ghost of "us" won't set me free [Verse 3] Morning light cuts through the gloom Memories still linger in my room Thought I'd catch you in the dawn But like the shadows you're forever gone

Back in the day, we ran so wild, Young and reckless, hearts like fire. Late-night walks in hometown streets, Never thought time would move this fast on me. But here we stand, a little gray, Laugh lines show the price we paid. Through every turn, through every sin, Still got your back, still got that grin. Now we’re brothers in our 40s, still standing tall, We’ve seen some wins, we’ve had some falls. Life keeps changing, but one thing’s true, No matter what, I’ve got you. Built our lives, got scars to show, Lessons learned, still room to grow. Kids and work, responsibilities stack high, But some things money just can’t buy. Through the years, through thick and thin, We’ve lost some, but we still stand. No road too long, no dream too late, Still got time to celebrate. Now we’re brothers in our 40s, still standing tall, We’ve seen some wins, we’ve had some falls. Life keeps changing, but one thing’s true, No matter what, I’ve got you. (Love my brother) Tetotalers cannot raise a toast, To all the times we love the most. Here’s to the days still yet to come, Ain’t slowing down, we’re not done. (no need for booze to have fun) Brothers in our 40s, the story goes on, Still laughing, still strong. Through every high, through every low, Side by side, we’ll always go. (happy birthday to my bro) Move 43 should be on your playlist.

Side by side since way back when, Through every twist, around each bend. Laughing loud, running free, That’s the way it’s meant to be. (Pre-Chorus) No road too long, no dream too high, With my brother, we touch the sky. Through the ups and through the downs, We’re still here, we’re still around. (Chorus) Brothers, best friends, hand in hand, Side by side, we make our stand. Through the years, through the miles, Always here to share the smiles. (Verse 2) Morning sun or midnight run, Every moment’s twice the fun. Secret handshakes, inside jokes, Chasing dreams and swapping hopes. (Pre-Chorus) No road too long, no dream too high, With my brother, we touch the sky. Through the ups and through the downs, We’re still here, we’re still around. (Chorus) Brothers, best friends, hand in hand, Side by side, we make our stand. Through the years, through the miles, Always here to share the smiles. (Bridge) Through thick and thin, through rain and shine, No better friend that I could find. No need for words, we just know, Where one of us is, the other goes. (Outro) Brothers, best friends, always true, No one else I’d rather choose. Come what may, near or far, You’ll always be my brightest star.

[Verse] Eyes half-closed he's wandering slow Through a haze where time won't go Leaning on clouds that don't exist He's chasing dreams on a smoky twist [Chorus] Stoner man he's got no plans Life rolls by in his steady hands Laughter spins like a vinyl groove He's lost in vibes nothing left to prove [Verse 2] He mumbles jokes to the setting sun Counting stars till night's begun His world is small but it feels so grand A universe born of grains of sand [Chorus] Stoner man he's got no plans Life rolls by in his steady hands Laughter spins like a vinyl groove He's lost in vibes nothing left to prove [Bridge] Guess he's high but he's rooted deep Wide awake in his half-dream sleep Falling upward on a crooked track Never looking forward never looking back [Verse 3] The smell of hash and burning wood He’d change the world if he only could But in his eyes the truth is clear Why wake up when heaven is here

Verse 1)
Lightning flashin', sky's a-cryin'
Wind's a-howlin', trees are tryin'
To hold on tight, but they're bendin' low
Folks said, "Stay inside, where you gotta go?" But I ain't listenin', radio's on loud
Got a bonfire burnin', right here in the cloud
Of downpour rain, and thunder's boom
This ain't no flood watch, this is a party in the gloom! (Chorus)
Yeah, the storm's a-ragin', but the spirit's high
We're drinkin' sweet tea 'neath a stormy sky
Got guitars strummin', and the bass is thumpin'
This ain't no weatherman, this is somethin'!
A little bit crazy, a whole lotta fun
Party in the storm, 'til the morning sun! (Verse 2)
Back porch is drippin', mud up to our knees
But we're dancin' barefoot, feeling the breeze
Of hurricane heart, and thunderous soul
Losin' all control, lettin' the good times roll Neighbor brought his banjo, Sarah's got her fiddle
This ain't no tragedy, just a country riddle
How to turn the bad news, upside down
And find some joy when the world is drownin' (Chorus)
Yeah, the storm's a-ragin', but the spirit's high
We're drinkin' sweet tea 'neath a stormy sky
Got guitars strummin', and the bass is thumpin'
This ain't no weatherman, this is somethin'!
A little bit crazy, a whole lotta fun
Party in the storm, 'til the morning sun! (Bridge)
Some might call us crazy, some might call us fools
But we're makin' memories, breakin' all the rules
Of staying safe and dry, inside the door
Tonight we're livin' loud, and lovin' more! (Guitar Solo - fast and energetic, with a southern rock feel) (Chorus)
Yeah, the storm's a-ragin', but the spirit's high
We're drinkin' sweet tea 'neath a stormy sky
Got guitars strummin', and the bass is thumpin'
This ain't no weatherman, this is somethin'!
A little bit crazy, a whole lotta fun
Party in the storm, 'til the morning sun! (Outro)
The morning sun, gonna shine again
But no one will forget, this storm we weathered then
Party in the storm, yeah, that's our claim to fame
Wash away the worry, and call out the rain!
Yeehaw!

[Intro] [guitar] [Verse 1] And we were together, forgetting the dawning day Suspended between yesterday and tomorrow, in an endless present And we were together, defying time Creating a world, our hearts as witnesses [acoustic guitar] [Verse 2] These walls are empty and dark, The water I drink threatens to intoxicate me Your scent revives my soul You who support me so we don’t fall, You who support me so we don’t fall [Chorus] And we were together, forgetting the dawning day Suspended between yesterday and tomorrow, in an endless present And we were together, defying time Creating a world, our hearts as witnesses [bridge] [tenor sax] [Verse 3] No matter the clock and its hungry hands No matter the world and its desperate calls In this fragile bubble we’ve woven together Eternity is measured in exchanged glances [Outro] And we were together, forgetting the dawning day Creators of a time that belongs only to us And we will be together when other dawns arrive You who support me so I don’t sink, You who support me so I don’t sink.
