Give Me Some Hugs
Her neck is red And mine is too Her collar’s white And mine is blue I’ve been a victim She’s not the one Who shot me twice With a silenced gun She watched over me Since I’ve been here She’s helped me with Depression and fear She’s treating me with Her smiles and the drugs […]

Nashville, Tennessee
He was out on a Tuesday In his Chevy getting drunk off a twenty four pack of bottled Budweiser Lite Thinkin’ ‘bout the girl he fell in love with When they were sixteen And everythin’ was alright He was wonderin’ what she was up to as he hadn’t seen her since they parked out by […]

I’m Not Them
They say I’m wastin’ time with you, my dear They think they’ve got you pegged, it’s so clear You leavin’ me is the last thing I fear ’Cause I’m not them and neither are you I know the ins and outs of all that you are You’re my rock, my foundation, my shining star You […]
