Dust motes dancing in the afternoon light Sitting here with Billy, feels just right Cracking jokes, the silly kind you know The kind that make the belly truly glow (Chorus) Twenty years have flown by, a blur of faces and time But your laugh, Billy, still rings like a chime From awkward twenties to seasoned fifty-few Hope this laughter keeps coming, me and you (Verse 2) Remember that girl, the one with the red hair? And that time we drove around, singing styx? Stories we've told a thousand times or more Each telling funnier than the one before (Chorus) Twenty years have flown by, a blur of faces and time But your laugh, Billy, still rings like a chime From awkward twenties to seasoned fifty-few Hope this laughter keeps coming, me and you (Bridge) Life throws punches, leaves a mark and sting But friendship's a balm, a healing thing A steady hand, a knowing, friendly face A comfort in this sometimes crazy race (Chorus) Twenty years have flown by, a blur of faces and time But your laugh, Billy, still rings like a chime From awkward twenties to seasoned fifty-few Hope this laughter keeps coming, me and you (Outro) Another twenty, that's the plan we’ll make More jokes, more stories, for goodness sake! Yeah, another twenty, Billy, you and me Laughing 'til we’re old as we can be.

Hamood’s got a ride, it’s a mean black machine, 2014 Camaro, it’s the sharpest you’ve seen, 1LE SS, yeah, it’s built for speed, He takes it to the highway, where the asphalt meets the breeze. Leather on the seats, engine’s hummin’ low, He’s ridin’ through the night, let the tail lights glow, When he steps on the gas, you know he’s gone, Hamood and his Camaro, yeah, they’re rollin’ on strong. Hamood’s Camaro, all black, burnin’ bright, Cruisin’ down the backroads in the middle of the night, Got that power under hood, makes the world stand still, When he hits that pedal, you know he’s gonna thrill. All black, sharp as a tack, it’s his pride and joy, Hamood’s Camaro, it’s the real McCoy. Windows down, wind blowin’ through his hair, He don’t care ‘bout nothin’ but the engine’s flare, 20-inch rims, they’re spinnin’ so fine, With the exhaust blowin’, he’s a one-of-a-kind. He don’t need no fancy lights or a silver spoon, Hamood’s got the ride, and he’ll be cruisin’ soon, Takin’ on the curves, feelin’ like a star, When he’s behind the wheel, man, he’s goin’ far. Hamood’s Camaro, all black, burnin’ bright, Cruisin’ down the backroads in the middle of the night, Got that power under hood, makes the world stand still, When he hits that pedal, you know he’s gonna thrill. All black, sharp as a tack, it’s his pride and joy, Hamood’s Camaro, it’s the real McCoy. Well, he’s ridin’ smooth, like a country breeze, Ain’t no road too rough, ain’t no curve too steep, Hamood’s Camaro, it’s a dream come true, When he hits the throttle, you can feel it too. Hamood’s Camaro, all black, burnin’ bright, Cruisin’ down the backroads in the middle of the night, Got that power under hood, makes the world stand still, When he hits that pedal, you know he’s gonna thrill. All black, sharp as a tack, it’s his pride and joy, Hamood’s Camaro, it’s the real McCoy. Yeah, Hamood’s got the Camaro, and it’s ready to fly, When he pulls up, man, you can’t deny, In that black beauty, he’s a sight to see, Hamood’s Camaro, where he’s meant to be.

**Title: "Ride the Wind"** **Verse 1** Well, the sun’s settin’ low on this dusty road, Got my boots laced tight, heart heavy with the load. Life’s a wild ride, it ain’t always fair, But I’m a fighter, got grit and I’m prepared. The fields remind me of the dreams I’ve chased, Through the storms and the pain, I’ll never lose my place. **Chorus** So I’ll ride the wind, let it carry me high, Through the valleys and the struggles, I’ll reach for the sky. With a heart full of hope, and a fire in my soul, I’ll keep on moving, ‘til I reach my goal. Yeah, I’ll ride the wind, no matter how it bends, With every heartbreak, I’m stronger in the end. **Verse 2** I’ve seen bright days turned to dark of night, But I hold on tight, ‘cause I know I’ll be alright. There’s a strength in the scars, a story to tell, Of love and loss, but I refuse to dwell. The open road calls, and I feel it in my veins, Every twist and turn just adds to my gains. **Chorus** So I’ll ride the wind, let it carry me high, Through the valleys and the struggles, I’ll reach for the sky. With a heart full of hope, and a fire in my soul, I’ll keep on moving, ‘til I reach my goal. Yeah, I’ll ride the wind, no matter how it bends, With every heartbreak, I’m stronger in the end. **Bridge** And when the night falls, I’ll chase my dreams, Underneath the stars, there’s more than it seems. With faith as my compass, I’ll find my way, In this journey of life, I’m here to stay. **Chorus** So I’ll ride the wind, let it carry me high, Through the valleys and the struggles, I’ll reach for the sky. With a heart full of hope, and a fire in my soul, I’ll keep on moving, ‘til I reach my goal. Yeah, I’ll ride the wind, no matter how it bends, With every heartbreak, I’m stronger in the end. **Outro** So raise up a glass to the roads we roam, Through the trials we face, we’ll make it back home. Together we’ll stand, come what may, With the spirit of a fighter, I’ll seize the day. Yeah, I’ll ride the wind, I'm here to stay.

[intro] [guitar] [verse 1] Et nous étions ensemble, à oublier le jour naissant Suspendus entre hier et demain, dans un présent sans fin Et nous étions ensemble, à défier le temps À créer un monde, nos cœurs sont témoins [acoustic guitar] [verse 2] Ces murs sont vides et sombres, l'eau que je bois menace de m'enivrer ton parfum ravive mon âme toi qui me soutient pour ne pas sombrer, toi qui me soutient pour ne pas sombrer. [chorus] Et nous étions ensemble, à oublier le jour naissant Suspendus entre hier et demain, dans un présent sans fin Et nous étions ensemble, à défier le temps À créer un monde, nos cœurs sont témoins [bridge] [tenor sax] [verse 3] Qu'importe l'horloge et ses aiguilles affamées Qu'importe le monde et ses appels désespérés Dans cette bulle fragile que nous avons tissée L'éternité se compte en regards échangés [outro] Et nous étions ensemble, à oublier le jour naissant Créateurs d'un temps qui n'appartient qu'à nous Et nous serons ensemble, quand viendront d'autres aubes toi qui me soutient pour ne pas sombrer toi qui me soutient pour ne pas sombrer.

Verse 1)
Sunrise paintin' the lake gold, mist hangin' on the trees
Got my old hat pulled down low, feelin' that mornin' breeze
Truck's parked down by the river bend, coffee steamin' in my hand
Another day of castin' lines, in this promised land (Chorus)
Yeah, fishin' ain't just fishin', it's a medicine for the soul
Leavin' all my worries behind, lettin' the river take control
Got my grandpa's tackle box, and a memory in every lure
Out here chasin' silver flashes, 'til my hands are raw and sore (Verse 2)
Little bobber dancin' on the water, listenin' to the cicadas sing
Thinkin' 'bout my daddy's stories, and the lessons fishin' brings
Patience is a virtue, that's what he always said
But sometimes you gotta change your bait, or you'll wind up with nothin' instead (Chorus)
Yeah, fishin' ain't just fishin', it's a medicine for the soul
Leavin' all my worries behind, lettin' the river take control
Got my grandpa's tackle box, and a memory in every lure
Out here chasin' silver flashes, 'til my hands are raw and sore (Bridge)
Maybe I'll catch a trophy bass, maybe just a little brim
But the size don't really matter, it's the peace I find within
This water holds a history, secrets whispered on the breeze
A connection to somethin' bigger, beneath these willow trees (Chorus)
Yeah, fishin' ain't just fishin', it's a medicine for the soul
Leavin' all my worries behind, lettin' the river take control
Got my grandpa's tackle box, and a memory in every lure
Out here chasin' silver flashes, 'til my hands are raw and sore

(Priedainis) G Aš dirbu Limetoje, ir man labai gerai, C Su planais prieš akis – gyvenimas gražiai. D Greit dirbsiu MedSan, o gal visai ne, G Svarbu, kad daina skamba mano širdyje. (1 posmas) G Ryte kavos puodelis, o Limeta jau laukia, C Su šypsena į darbą – gyvenimo draugą. D Planuoju, ką toliau, o ateitis dar slepias, G Bet šiandien viskas aišku – ir dainos tonas giedas. (Priedainis kartojasi 🎶) (2 posmas) G Gal MedSan durys man greitai atsidarys, C O gal liksiu čia, kur svajonės vis tęsiasi. D Kur bepasukčiau kelią, viskas bus gerai, G Su Limetos prisiminimais – mano daina šviesi.

Verse 1 I’m trying to get over you But nothing works no matter what I do Tonight I’m hoping something gives But it’s like raising the dead and making it live Got my windows down cruisin in the wind Hoping I can clean up the mess I’m in Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow Verse 2 It ain’t like you didn’t tell me How you’d feel if I done you wrong But I didnt listen to what you said Now im putting the words into this song What I should of told you all along How much you mean to me Just wasn’t enough to not make you leave Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow Bridge I hope your doing better these days Found you a man who makes you wanna stay Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow

**"Monday Night at the Tavern"** *(Verse 1)* It’s 6:30 on a Monday night, the Tavern’s coming alive, Mike Jordan’s behind the bar, keeping the vibe. Texas Hold ‘em’s the game, the cards are dealt with care, Ryan’s got a poker face, but Sam’s got a stare. Bailey’s shuffling chips, Danny’s sipping Thatchers Gold, Stacey’s laughing with Nicola, their stories never get old. Matt’s calculating odds, while Mike pours San Miguel, And Sean, the loyal pet, sleeps through it all so well. *(Chorus)* It’s Monday night in Barnstaple, the Tavern’s where we play, Texas Hold ‘em’s the game, and we’re here to stay. From quiz night on a Tuesday to clubbing for a fiver, The Tavern’s got it all, it’s the place to deliver. *(Verse 2)* Mike’s calling out the bets, his voice is loud and clear, Nicola’s pouring red wine, the best you’ll find here. Stacey’s got a royal flush, Danny’s bluffing again, Ryan’s got a pair of aces, but Sam’s got the win. The pool table’s quiet, it’s Sunday’s domain, But tonight it’s all about the cards and the game. Sean wakes up briefly, wagging his tail, Before curling back up, dreaming of ale. *(Chorus)* It’s Monday night in Barnstaple, the Tavern’s where we play, Texas Hold ‘em’s the game, and we’re here to stay. From quiz night on a Tuesday to clubbing for a fiver, The Tavern’s got it all, it’s the place to deliver. *(Bridge)* Quiz night’s a battle, brains against the clock, Pool on a Sunday, where the cues go knock. Clubbing on a Saturday, just a fiver to get in, But Monday’s for the poker, where the real fun begins. *(Verse 3)* Mike’s San Miguel is flowing, Danny’s Thatchers in hand, Stacey and Nicola toast with their wine, so grand. The Tavern’s full of laughter, the stakes are getting high, But no matter who wins, the night never says goodbye. Sean’s back to snoring, the cards are put away, But the memories of Monday night will last another day. Till Tuesday’s quiz and Sunday’s pool, and clubbing’s on the way, The Tavern’s always buzzing, come whatever may. *(Chorus)* It’s Monday night in Barnstaple, the Tavern’s where we play, Texas Hold ‘em’s the game, and we’re here to stay. From quiz night on a Tuesday to clubbing for a fiver, The Tavern’s got it all, it’s the place to deliver. *(Outro)* So raise your glass to Mike Jordan, and the Tavern crew, Ryan, Sam, Bailey, Danny, Stacey, Matt, and Nicola too. With Sean by their side, and the cards in the air, The Tavern’s the heart of Barnstaple, and it’s always there.

**"The Tavern King of Barnstaple"** *(To the Tune of "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers)* **[Verse 1]** On a rainy night in Barnstaple town, Mike Jordan sat with a worried frown. The Tavern was quiet, the stakes were high, Danny McGee walked in, with a glint in his eye. **[Chorus]** You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, know when to run. Mike bet it all, on a pair of queens, But Danny’s full house crushed his dreams. **[Verse 2]** Nicola cried as the cards were shown, The Tavern was lost, and Mike was alone. Danny just smiled, with Del Boy by his side, "Now you work for me," he said with pride. **[Chorus]** You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, know when to run. Mike bet it all, on a pair of queens, But Danny’s full house crushed his dreams. **[Verse 3]** Mike moved in with Sean, in a small flat above, They bonded over whiskey and stories of love. Del Boy would visit, wagging his tail, But Mike couldn’t shake the sting of his fail. **[Chorus]** You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, know when to run. Mike bet it all, on a pair of queens, But Danny’s full house crushed his dreams. **[Bridge]** Now Mike and Sean, they’re the best of mates, Laughing at life and their twisted fates. Nicola moved on, but Mike found a friend, And the Tavern’s old spirit will never end. **[Verse 4]** Danny runs the pub, with Del Boy in tow, But Mike’s found peace, in the life he knows. He’ll tell you the story, with a wink and a grin, "Don’t bet your Tavern, unless you’re sure you’ll win." **[Chorus]** You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, know when to run. Mike bet it all, on a pair of queens, But Danny’s full house crushed his dreams. **[Outro]** So here’s to Mike, the Tavern’s old king, Who lost it all but found a new thing. With Sean by his side, and a laugh in his heart, Mike’s story lives on, in Barnstaple’s heart. *(Fade out with a harmonica solo and the sound of a shuffling deck of cards.)* �🍻

**"Sam's Winning Hand"** *(A Country-Poker Anthem)* **[Verse 1]** Bailey sat down at the table, feelin' mighty fine, Thought he'd take Sam's money, one hand at a time. But Sam just tipped his hat, with a sly little grin, Said, "Bailey, my friend, you ain't ready to win." **[Chorus]** 'Cause Sam's got the cards, and Sam's got the plan, When he's holdin' a deuce, it looks like a grand. He bluffs with a smile, leaves Bailey in tears, By the end of the night, Sam's cleaned out his years. **[Verse 2]** Bailey thought he had it, with a pair of kings, But Sam raised the pot, and he bet everything. Bailey folded his hand, said, "I can't take the heat," Sam flipped over nothing, and Bailey faced defeat. **[Chorus]** 'Cause Sam's got the cards, and Sam's got the plan, When he's holdin' a deuce, it looks like a grand. He bluffs with a smile, leaves Bailey in tears, By the end of the night, Sam's cleaned out his years. **[Bridge]** Bailey left the table, not a dollar to his name, Had to borrow from Sam, and it was a cryin' shame. He worked nine to five, Dolly Parton style, But Sam took his paycheck, with that same old smile. **[Verse 3]** Now Bailey's at the factory, punchin' that clock, Dreamin' of the day he can beat Sam in a block. But Sam's still playin', winnin' night and day, While Bailey's just tryin' to keep the bills at bay. **[Chorus]** 'Cause Sam's got the cards, and Sam's got the plan, When he's holdin' a deuce, it looks like a grand. He bluffs with a smile, leaves Bailey in tears, By the end of the night, Sam's cleaned out his years. **[Outro]** So here's to you, Sam, the king of the game, Bailey's just a footnote in your hall of fame. From the poker table to the nine-to-five grind, Sam's the winner, and Bailey's left behind. *(Fade out with a twangy guitar and a harmonica solo.)* 🎸
