A Hot July's Night 2006
Verse.
It was a Hot July's Night when I became a man
She was so into me she's my favorite fan
Our bodies on fire our minds as one
Being with my best friend so much fun
I remember her blue eyes as I looked inside
I touched that part of her trembling with desire
A Hot July's Night renders one insane
I find it hard dealing with the pain
Being without her I'm to blame
Chorus:
I love you you you're all that I knew
Time's too times too long without you
Verse 2
It was a time in my life I wanted her for my wife
As I proposed she got petrified
That was the day she said goodbye

Would You Mind If I Fell (in love with you)
It's like faith in your life
A dream must someday come alive
And you're just the one to make it so
Help me stay and let me know
Where did I get so lucky
To just be here today
Did you lead me and show me the way
Chorus:
Excuse me now I know we just met
But would you mind if I fell in love with you
And just stay as our love grew
Would you mind if I fell in love with you
When I waited so long
Was it to be just for you
And is this our special day for love
You make all the words so easy to say
Where did I get so lucky
To just be here today
Did you lead me and show me the way
Repeat Chorus:
Like a great door has opened
And filled all our tomorrows
With hope faith and dreams
We'll be steady as it goes
Rock solid as our love flows
Where did I get so lucky
To just be here today
Did you lead me and show me the way
Repeat Chorus three times fading out:

Slice of Life
Mama plays the organ at the church
Daddy plays the jukebox at the bar
Sister's playing games down on main street
Brother's stealing cd's from parked cars
Sister tells me she'll never marry
My brother came home with two new wives
Daddy says he must know what he's doing
But I think he's ruining all of our lives
Chorus:
Yes mama's livin' in her little dream world
Where there is no misery or strife
Daddy smiles and tells me everything is natural
We're just livin' in our own slice of life
Just livin' in our own slice of life
Aunt Roses workin' at the five and ten
Uncle Joe still makes his homemade brew
Cousin Jenny left three years ago
She just disappeared without a clue
I'm goin' to sew me a hip pocket
One big enough to fit my jack knife
Then I'll have it made like my Daddy
And carve me out my own slice of life
Repeat Chorus twice:
then tag...Just livin' in our own slice of life
Writers: Edna Mae Foy and Guy Leroux

Daddy Tried
Started farmin' in 1906 on a farm way back in the sticks
With long hard hours of work and a hard workin' farmer's pride
He plowed the stubborn sod he struggled against great odds
A workin' the land Daddy Tried
Chorus:
Daddy tried day after day faithfully he plowed the way
Through the long hard hours he worked his hopes and spirits high
Never made it to the top never reaped those really big crops
Never reached those goals he sought but Daddy tried
To keep us fed warm and loved daddy battled all life's storms
He prayed that life's storms
