I hear that ringtone ringing through
A Luke Bryan song to let me know its you
That's calling

I see that picture pop up on my screen
It's that one from last summer of you and me
When I was falling

Why do I just let it ring through
Even though I know it's you

Once I was fallin fallin for you
Now it's we are just fallin fallin apart
Everything We say and everything we do
Just pushes me further from you

Can we just try try to love again
It is just too late to fall fall back in
Love for 2 hearts can we have a brand start
Or beginning of the end of me and you

Brothers Song (unfinished)

You walked me to my first day of school
You taught me what it meant to be cool
You gave me my first black eye
And was the only one on my side

You would hold me down and make your stand
Go running to mom when I was fighting mad
Together we found trouble and a little Jesus
We were baptized and still chasing demons

PreC?

Chorus
We were best friends bonded by blood
There was no man coming between us
But those girls caused more than one fight

We lived life thicker than thieves
And at the same time greatest enemies
And more than once you saved my life
This is the story of our life

Teenage years they came and quickly went
Life moved us both different directions
I took a wife and you took a job
We took off to find a place in this world

Now once in awhile I pick up my phone
 leave you a message after the tone
Our Busy lives keep us hypnotized
And running after much more


PreC?


Bridge
You have 2 daughters, I have 3 kids of my own
But sometimes I wanna go back to being 6 years old
Waking up each morning us in the same home
Life has caught us by surprise, this is the story of our lives

The Music In Me (unfinished)

She comes like a mistress that haunts me when I sleep
Whispers in my ear late at night while I dream
I have fought back temptation for all these years
But a volcano of passion erupts inside my ears

My heart matches the beat of that mental drum
At midnight I find that old guitar and begin to strum
While my wife lays asleep, I am tangled in melody
I've never heard
Tasting the sweet kiss of every word

Chorus

Your notes they keep me guessing
I find sweet release in your harmony
You're my hidden lover in midnight meeting
Your melody is setting me free



Like the warmth of a visit from an old friend
You knock on my hearts door once again
She is the lover that I just can't let go
Feeling alive with inside with every note

I sing, I write and I play
My songs stay hidden away
I strum, I write and I sing
No one knows that we meet
...the music in me...


Bridge idea:
She allows me to feel when the world has made me numb
Gave voice to the words I could never say on my own
You helped me to see
The music in me

Home

When you find where home is
You build the life of your dreams
Let nothing come in between
Let never rip at the seams

When you find where you belong
You open up your heart
Hold it tight and love it strong
Hold her close in your arms

When you find a place in this world
You stake a piece if ground
Start family build a house
What was lost has finally been found

Pre chorus
I have ran for my past
Seen my reflection
Through broken glass
But never trusted until
You crossed my path

When you see through another's eyes
Its when love catches by surprise
Your dreams are all realized
And you know that you are
Finally Home

Nashville Tonight

She hopped a greyhound bus
as mama kissed her forehead
Said baby chase your dreams
Don't do things you will regret

She packed a red suitcase
Grandpa's flat top six string
A notebook full of songs
And a head full of dreams

She giving it all her might
She'll be in Nashville tonight

Chorus:
What happens here doesn't stay here
It's small town with Big City lights
Saturday morning bloggers will post
 the mistakes of Friday night

She walks the streets eyes wide
Taking in all the Music City sights
Puts her name on the list
She'll be singing at Tootsies tonight

She's in Nashville tonight

She has a Hollywood smile
And an Oklahoma heart
A pair of Tony Lama boots
Wearing her black mini skirt

She'll sing Shania just right
She's in Nashville tonight


Chorus:
What happens here doesn't stay here
It's small town with Big City lights
Saturday morning bloggers will post
the mistakes of a Friday night

She walks the streets eyes wide
Taking in all the Music City sights
Puts her name on the list
She'll be singing her songs at Tootsies
In Nashville tonight

Bridge:
Mama calls her on phone
Says girl when you coming home
And tell me is everything alright
There in Nashville tonight...

Jennifer's Song

Anytime I hear Bon Jovi sing
I'm taken back to a front porch swing
A Polaroid of  when I was a child of 11
You were a  woman of 13

I was in innocent childhood lust
Chased by whispers of your past
It was just enough to be holding hands,
Leaning close and sharing a laugh

Chorus
It was the butterflies in the belly
Sharing summer nights in July
You were my very first love
And we chased after fireflies

To me you will always be
In a yellow striped tee
Sitting next to me sharing
The best almost kiss of my life

It was 5 years later, my phone would ring
I was caught by surprise with your voice
You were going to be a bride at 16
Broke my heart telling me he was your choice

I was there dressed up in black
You were in white and stood by his side
As I took your hand one last time
Danced you around the floor
And shared one last laugh


And STILL____

It was the butterflies in the belly
Sharing summer nights in July
It was my very first love
And chasing after fireflies

To me you will always be
In a yellow striped tee
Sitting next to me sharing
The best almost kiss of my life

You out there somewhere listening to this song
Shattered by your choices, maybe even singing along
Wondering what took me so long
Jenny this is your song...

Not alone

Dark clouds on a black night
Starless sky, alone again tonight
Bedroom, radio, glass of wine
Your picture, sad song plays on

Just when I thought it was done
Your face comes up in my phone
But tonight I'm not alone

I might be lonely but I am not alone
No not alone
I might be broken, I might be hurting
But not alone, not alone

Good friends, Friday night
Lots of laugh and a glass of wine
Loud bar, flirty brown eyes
And that downtown band plays on

Just when I thought it was done
Your face comes up on my phone
But tonight I'm not alone

I might be hurting but I am not alone
No not alone
I might be missing you tonight
But not alone, no not alone

I am one day closer to being over you
And what I do know is that I am
Not alone, no not alone
