Lyrics by c c Snowden

She fell madly in love ….
when she was just two……..
with the family dog,
together, up they grew,

Her first big love affair ….
where she fell hard and fast,
She was Juliette
and her Romeo was cast!

chorus
A girl and her dog —
like peanut butter and jelly,
A classic combination
to satisfy your belly.
Diamonds and pearls….
are precious things you might get her,
But the love of a dog,
is something she would like better.

Her Romeo passed
when she was still young,
Losing that good, ole boy…..
was like getting burned then stung.

Living life all alone
felt like an empty blur,
Then along came a dog
whose love would rescue her.

chorus
A girl and her dog are like
peanut butter and jelly,
That classic combination
filling up your belly.
Diamonds and pearls are precious
things you might get her,
But the love of a dog,
is something she’d like better.

The years would pass by….
Like the chapters of a book.
It felt like time slipped away,
Stolen by a crook.

She became a wife and a mom,
A busy life on the go,
But in her grey minivan,
You’d see her dogs were in tow.

Bridge
She praises God for the dogs
and names them one by one,
For bringing light to her life,
Like the shining sun.
Diamond rings and some pearls,
are fancy things you might get her,
But the love of a dog
is something she would like better!

final chorus
All humans having a dog…
should be made mandatory,
For the love that dogs bring
To enhance our story.

hmmmmm mmmm
mmmm hmm.
Thank God for all dogs.

hmmmmmm….. mmmmm
mmmmm

verse 1
We are shackled up in headlines,
We are prisoners of the posts.
With the addiction to the outrage,
Our nation’s “good ole days” are ghosts.

verse 2
We no longer recognize our neighbors,
Now all we see are party lines.
How did we get here in this era,
Where politics so much defines?

chorus
I’m escaping in the music,
And putting on my favorite bands.
Ignoring those who feel the need to,
Declare we all live on stolen lands.
Cause I’m escaping in the music,
And turning up my favorite song,
Where the lyrics don’t accuse me,
Of being ignorant or voting wrong.

verse 3
Remember when we all had pride,
And we bled red white and blue?
Remember when the American flag,
Was not viewed as “triggering” too?

verse 4
Do you remember the conversations,
When we could all agree to disagree?
Now we’re losing long-time friendships,
Just because we vote differently.

chorus
So, I’m escaping in the music,
And putting on my favorite bands.
Ignoring those who feel the need to,
Declare we all live on stolen lands.
Cause I’m escaping in the music,
And turning up my favorite song,
Where the lyrics don’t accuse me,
Of being ignorant or being wrong.

bridge
It is sad we’re so divided
and there is no end in sight,
as long as we let politics
Decide who’s wrong and right.
I need some rock n roll to save me,
And be unburdened by what has been.
We are humans needing each other,
Not just Democrats or Republicans.

Outro
Calgon take me away…..
I need to escape…..
please show me the way….
I need some Lynyrd Skynyrd….
And some Kid Rock today!!!!

verse 1
Some people read….
to relax.
Or put on Golf…..
when they nap.
Some listen to music….
that’s playing soft and low.

verse 2
I watch reruns….
of a man,
with a paint brush….
in his hand,
When I need peace….
I turn on the Bob Ross Show.

chorus
He’ll paint a happy little cloud,
And any color is allowed,
His soothing voice
can almost hypnotize.
He’ll mix a clump of green paint
(You’ll think, “a tree”, but, no, it ain’t)
Then on his canvas….
he paints a nice surprise!

verse 4
I love his hair….
full of curl,
I love his strokes…..
as they swirl,
And he mixes in….
some wisdom and advice.

verse 5
He’ll say there are ….
no mistakes,
And that patience….
is what it takes,
When making art…
You don’t have to be precise.

chorus
Then he’ll paint a happy little tree,
And a calm comes over me
His soothing voice
can almost hypnotize.
He’ll mix a clump of blue paint,
(You’ll think, “a river”, but, no, it ain’t)
Then on his canvas….
he paints a nice surprise!

bridge
The Joy of Painting might be,
The very best method to calm me,
That Bob Ross was like some therapy,
in a half hour show.
He gave us 31 great seasons
And a whole more good reasons
to be creative and to give painting a-go.

outro
Give me some happy little trees…..
Paint me a gentle flowing breeze…..
Highlight the mountains in the distance…..
Thank God for Bob Ross’s existence!
Happy happy happy ….
joy joy
mmmmmm
mmmm
mmmmm

no mistakes, only happy accidents!

verse1
I love tie dye…
pecan pie…..
Older music is
what I tend to choose.
I love antiques
Bama winning streaks
Being barefoot
instead of wearing shoes.

pre chorus
I’m just a tree hugging,
peace loving,
Modern-day “hippie chick”
I’m from Gen X,  in mid life,
and mostly don’t give a flip!

chorus
I really don’t like all the labels
but since they are the trend at hand…
then I am  a “she /her”
Faith and family first
Common sense American.

verse 2
I love poetry….
gardening….
and thrifting in the afternoons
I love game shows,
kissin my dogs nose,
and a hot bath while streaming tunes.

pre chorus
I’m a Floridian
Jacksonvillian
Born and raised here in Duuuuval
Where we say, “yes ma’am”
And “no sir”
And we frequently say, “hey y’all!”

chorus
I really don’t like all the labels
but since labels are the trend at hand…
then I am  a “she /her”
Faith and family first
Common sense American.

bridge
I’m not for everyone
Sometimes a little odd
But a Southerner
by the Grace of God

final chorus
I really don’t like all the labels
but since labels are the trend at hand…
then I am  a “she /her”
Faith and family first
Common sense American.

verse 1
Once there was a man…
Always dressed in overalls.
His knack for growing food,
Had a community so enthralled!

verse 2
This farming, overalls man,
Had a lot of passion and a plan,
To help his neighbors
Be as healthy as they can…..

chorus
But……every story has a villain…..
and his climb became uphillin’
to get the city to approve his one request…
To make it legally permissable
(And Not so darn near impossible)
For urban farming………
We beg you…..
“TO JUST SAY YES!”

verse 3
Everyone that knows this man
Loves his passion and his plans
waiting lists keep growing
from the needs and the demands.

chorus
But……every story has a villain…..
and his climb became uphillin’
to get the city to approve his one request…
To make it legally permissable
(And Not so darn near impossible)
For urban farming………
We beg you. ……
“TO JUST SAY YES!”

bridge
Hey city leaders…….
do not be misled…..
we just want fresh food
to gather and break bread….
This is a farming movement
to move this city ahead!!!!

Outro
Just say yes…..
you know you want to.
Just say yes!
Remove the hoops to jump through…
Just say yes!
Just say yes!!!!!!
Just say YEESSSSSS !!!

verse 1
Artificial Intelligence…..
Is it a dream or a nightmare?
That I can upload my song lyrics,
and get a damn good song prepared.

verse 2
I don’t sing or play guitar,
But I can write all day and night,
I don’t hear a melody at all,
Then AI makes a song that’s tight!

chorus
The industry is at a crossroads,
Where tech and music meet,
Spend five minutes uploading lyrics,
You’ll get great vocals and a beat!
This train has left the station,
and is charting a brand new course.
Some resist and say no thank you.
But others see new opened doors!

Verse 3
Everybody wants what’s real,
On the stage or in the car,
And AI makes it very hard to know,
Which ones the “real” ones are!

pre-chorus
First we had the vinyls
8 tracks and then cassettes
this music evolution
has everybody placing bets!

chorus
The industry is at a crossroads,
Where tech and music meet,
Spend five minutes uploading lyrics,
You’ll get great vocals and sick beats!
This train has left the station,
and is charting a brand new course.
Some resist and say no way, man.
But others see new opened doors!

outro
Which team are you on?
Does AI drive you insane?
You could be like Millie Vanilie…
And just “blame it on the rain.” 😂

The industry is at a crossroads,
Where tech and music meet,
Spend five minutes uploading lyrics,
You’ll get great vocals and sick beats!
This train has left the station,
and is charting a brand new course.
Some resist and say no way, man.
But others see new opened doors!

verse 1
There are bells made of silver
a Grinch that is green,
There’s a bright, yellow star
over the manger scene.

verse 2
There’s a red nose reindeer
and sometimes white snow,
(There are lumps of black coal
for bad behavior though.)

chorus
The colors of Christmas
create quite a mood,
of anticipation
and such gratitude….
for the birth of a Savior
and the whole Christmas story!
Let us count every blessing….
and take inventory!

verse 3
With trees full of lights
that blink, glow and shine,
Our hearts are as full
as gifted bottles of wine.

Oh! The colors of Christmas
create quite the mood,
of anticipation
and such gratitude….
for the birth of a Savior
and the whole Christmas story!
Let us count every blessing….
and take inventory!

Bridge
May you keep your focus on
Loved ones that are here
And the ones that are gone…..
And may the colors of Christmas
always be redrawn.

outro x 2
red, green, silver and gold
white snow, black coal
Keep coloring Christmas
with the youngest and the old.

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Colorful Christmas to all……
