    Any tech entrepreneur will know what I'm talkin about

    Lyrics

    (Verse 1)
    Started from nothin' just a thought and a prayer
    Vibe codin’ in my PJ’s up those stairs
    Trial and error, edge warnings outta sight
    A blinking beacon cursor mockin' me all damn night
    
    (Verse 2)
    Bank account's drainin', but my two cents ain't out
    Late nights losin' sleep are draggin' me down
    My wife stopped askin' how it's goin' these days
    She just sighs and says, "Babe, get a job that pays"
    
    (Pre-Chorus)
    Maybe I’m crazy, maybe she's right
    But I ain’t givin’ up without a fight...
    
    (Chorus)
    Bootstrappin', I’m going my way
    Bootstrappin' it hard every day
    Bootstrappin', cause I'm  gettin’ her done
    Bootstrappin', I'm one stubborn son of a gun!
    
    (Bridge)
    I see the light at the end of this tunnel
    Just get em in and drive em through my funnel
    This ain’t no hobby lobby game that I play
    I'd rather punch my clock then theirs any day.
    
    (Chorus)
    Bootstrappin', I’m going my way
    Bootstrappin' it hard every day
    Bootstrappin', cause I'm gettin’ her done
    Bootstrappin’
    
    (Chorus)
    Bootstrappin', I’m going my way
    Bootstrappin' it hard every day
    Bootstrappin', cause I'm  gettin’ her done
    Bootstrappin', I'm one stubborn son of a gun!
    
    (Outro)
    Yeah, I'm one stubborn son of a gun.
    Bootstrappin'.
    And I'm having so much fun
    Cause I'm Bootstrappin'~~~

    Make Room For The Kingdom

    Christian
    4:32

    My pastor says this all the time, so I thought why not put it to song. This song was created entirely with Song Refiners!

    Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    Come now if you're weary
    Lay down your heavy load
    His arms are wide open
    His mercy overflows
    He calls us from the shadows
    To stand in His light
    No burden too heavy
    Rise up in His might
    
    [Chorus]
    Make room for the kingdom
    No fighting our fears
    His strength in our weakness
    Our faith draws us near
    In times when life is hard
    Fall on our knees, pour out our hearts
    He is here, He wipes our tears
    Make room, make room for the kingdom
    
    [Verse 2]
    We walk through the valley
    The shadow of death
    Through waters that rise up
    His blood paid all our debts
    The battle belongs to Him
    Our praise is our sword
    In step with His Spirit
    We trust in our Lord
    
    [Chorus]
    Make room for the kingdom
    No fighting our fears
    His strength in our weakness
    Our faith draws us near
    In times when life is hard
    Fall on our knees, pour out our hearts
    He is here, He wipes our tears
    Make room, make room for the kingdom
    
    [Bridge]
    His kingdom come, fill every space
    Heaven's light in darkest place
    We lift our hands, bathe in His grace
    His glory reigns, reigns, reigns
    
    Make room… make room…
For the Kingdom…
    Make room… make room…
He is here
    
    [Chorus]
    Make room for the kingdom
    No fighting our fears
    His strength in our weakness
    Our faith draws us near
    In times when life is hard
    Fall on our knees, pour out our hearts
    He is here, He wipes our tears
    Make room, make room for the kingdom

    You're My Bullseye - Updated cover

    You're My Bullseye Tonight

    Country
    2:43

    This is my first song created entirely within Song Refiners! Bull’s Friday night hunt. Guy’s nicknamed “Bull” (maybe from his size, bull-riding past, or just charging through life). He’s at his dive bar, spots a cute blonde across the room, and decides she’s his target. No creepiness—just confident, beer-fueled charm.

    Lyrics

    Verse 1

    Boots are clickin’, glasses clinkin’, jeans ridin' down low,

    Friday night hangin’ out where the cold ones flow.

    They call me the Bull and I’m here for one reason,

    Spotted you laughin’, now I’m believin’

    Maybe we’ll hook on up after the show.

    
    Chorus

    Damn, you’re fine, you got sweet tea sass,

    Raspberry ring on your Coors Light glass.

    Line it up slow with a shot in my hand,

    Ain’t no shame, stakin’ my claim, makin’ my stand,

    ’Cause you’re my bullseye tonight.

    
    Verse 2

    Dartboard’s lit, stickin’ triple‑twenty throws,

    You’re sippin’ somethin’ sweet and stealin’ the  show.

    I’m flickin’ my Bic while you’re takin’ a sip,

    I’m tippin’ my brim, you’re bitin’ your lip,

    We both know how this night’s gonna go.

    
    Chorus

    Damn, you’re fine, you got sweet tea sass,

    Raspberry ring on your Coors Light glass.

    Line it up slow with a shot in my hand,

    Ain’t no shame, stakin’ my claim, makin’ my stand,

    ’Cause you’re my bullseye tonight.

    
    Bridge

    Your boot hooks mine as we intertwine,

    Tequilas line the bar — they won’t last this time.
    Your lips brush my ear with that flirty little dare,

    We dance and spin like we just don't care.

    
    Chorus

    Damn, you’re fine, you got sweet tea sass,

    Raspberry ring on your Coors Light glass.

    Line it up slow with a shot in my hand,

    Ain’t no shame, stakin’ my claim, makin’ my stand....
    
    Chorus

    Damn, you’re fine, you got sweet tea sass,

    Raspberry ring on your Coors Light glass.
    
Line it up slow with a shot in my hand,

    Ain’t no shame, stakin’ my claim, makin’ my stand,

    ’Cause you’re my bullseye tonight.

    
    Outro

    Bullseye, locked in — party all night!

    Bullseye, gettin’ down — feels so right!
    Bullseye, heart aimed, you’re outta sight,
’
    Cause you’re my bullseye tonight!

    Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    I wake up every morning, tryin’ to plan my day

    Worryin’ ‘bout the little things that might not go my way

    The sun keeps on risin’, the river keeps on flowin’

    Reminds me there’s a bigger hand behind the seeds I’m sowin’

    
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I hold my family close, I pray for what I can

    But there’s so much out there, far beyond my hands

    
    [Chorus]
    Don’t try to carry mountains, don’t try to change the tide

    Let go of all that worry, you keep locked up inside

    He’s got the whole world turning, and every sparrow’s song

    So rest your heart in knowing, you’re right where you belong

    You don’t have to do it all, or understand it all

    Because it’s a big, big world
    
    [Verse 2]
    I see headlines scrollin', wars across the sea

    Here beneath my porch light, it’s me and family

    I can’t calm every thunder, or heal a stranger’s pain

    But I can trust the Maker who sends the gentle rain

    
    [Pre-Chorus]
    I’ll tend my little garden, I’ll love the ones I see

    And trust the One who’s watching over you and me

    
    [Chorus]
    Don’t try to carry mountains, don’t try to change the tide

    Let go of all that worry, you keep locked up inside

    He’s got the whole world turning, and every sparrow’s song

    So rest your heart in knowing, you’re right where you belong

    You don’t have to do it all, or understand it all

    Because it’s a big, big world
    
    [Outro]
    So when your heart feels heavy, and the night is closing in

    Remember who is holding you, let His peace begin

    This poor gal has had enough and is going to tell her guy what she really thinks.

    Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    We started like heaven then it went to hell,

    Sweet talkin’, long walkin’ ’til I hid in my shell.

    You ripped my soul clean and left me to bleed,

    What a damn mess you made of me.

    
    [Verse 2]
    You ‘eff up, then you love bomb again,

    Out of control derailin’ like a runaway train.
    
I was your bullseye, catching your arrows of shame,

    Now I’m seein’ ’em coming, and I’m takin’ no blame.

    
    [Chorus]
    I’m burning down your castle, taking back my crown,

    Ripping out your demons, tearing walls down.

    No chains, no shadows, no whisper of your lies

    I’m done with your crap, ’cause I’m Me, Myself and Bye!
    

    [Bridge]
    No looking back, I’m breaking that chain,

    You’re a run­over ghost in my rearview pain.

    No tears to cry, no time for lies,

    Movin’ on from your games, burned all the ties.

    
    [Chorus]
    I’m burning down your castle, taking back my crown,

    Ripping out your demons, tearing walls down.

    No chains, no shadows, no whisper of your lies

    I’m done with your crap, ’cause I’m Me, Myself and Bye!

    Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    You played with fire, you've got sparks in your eyes
    Whispering lies, like smoke in the sky
    Pulled all the strings, but you’re tangled up now
    Shadows creep in, you can’t outrun the sound

    F-A-F-O, Eff around and find out
    Karma’s got your number, that’s no doubt

    The tables turn, when the truth comes out
    
    [Verse 2]
    You built your castles on shifting sand
    Lightning strikes, you can’t ever withstand
    Masks fallin’ off in the pouring rain
    Every secret you tell, it's a crimson stain
    
    [Chorus]
    F-A-F-O, Eff around and find out
    Karma’s got your number, that’s no doubt

    You can’t outrun what’s chasing you
    Every game you play comes back times two

    F-A-F-O, Eff around and find out
    Karma’s got your number, that’s no doubt
    F-A-F-O, Eff around and find out
    The tables turn, when the truth comes out

    This guy has a hot date with his new toy on his back deck. Let the good times roll!

    Lyrics

    Verse 1:
    
    Monday through Friday, I’m breaking my back,
    Hammer and steel, sweat on my hat.
    But come Friday night, I’ve got a hot rendezvous,
    She’s waiting at home, all shiny and new.
    No fancy reservations, no suit and tie,
    Just me and my baby, under the open sky.
    
    Chorus:
    
    I’m in love with my grill, she’s the flame of my desire,
    Stoking her coals, setting my soul on fire.
    She sizzles and smokes, oh, she gives me a thrill,
    Yeah, Friday night’s for loving-
    I’m in love with my grill.
    
    Verse 2:
    
    She don’t talk back, but she sure can sing,
    When I lay down my ribeye, hear that sweet sizzle ring.
    Her curves are stainless, her spirit’s bold,
    She keeps me warm when the night gets cold.
    With a brush of my hand, I spice up her style,
    She’s smoking hot, makes this hard man smile.
    
    Chorus:
    
    I’m in love with my grill, she’s the flame of my desire,
    Stoking her coals, setting my soul on fire.
    She sizzles and smokes, oh, she gives me a thrill,
    Yeah, Friday night’s for loving-
    I’m in love with my grill.
    
    Verse 3:
    
    Neighbors might whisper, but I don’t care,
    I’ll marinate my feelings, let ‘em hang in the air.
    With a cold one in hand, and a kiss from the smoke,
    I’m lost in her heat, in the love that we stoke.
    From burgers to brisket, she’s my queen of the feast,
    She brings out the beast, and the man in me.
    
    Chorus:
    
    I’m in love with my grill, she’s the flame of my desire,
    Stoking her coals, setting my soul on fire.
    She sizzles and smokes, oh, she gives me a thrill,
    Yeah, Friday night’s for loving-
    I’m in love with my grill.
    
    Bridge:
    
    Some folks want candlelight, soft music and wine,
    But I’ll take the crackle of hickory, every single time.
    She’s my hot date, my soulmate, my Friday night fling-
    With a kiss of her fire, I’m the king of my swing.
    
    Chorus:
    
    I’m in love with my grill, she’s the flame of my desire,
    Stoking her coals, setting my soul on fire.
    She sizzles and smokes, oh, she gives me a thrill,
    Yeah, Friday night’s for loving-
    I’m in love with my grill.

    Lyrics

    [Verse 1l]
    Seventeen, summer air,
    Barefoot dancing, without a care.
    Your essence lingers on my shirt,
    You were the one, you were my first.
    Makin love under moonlights glow,
    Promises whispered  way down low,
    Dreams too big for these small-town streets,
    Our hearts racing and skipping beats.
    
    [Verse 2]
    We moved on, we took our chance,
    We found new loves, our own wedding dance.
    Raised  our families, built our homes,
    Kids grew up, they moved on.
    Years rolled by, my love turned gray,
    All alone as she slipped away.
    Now I'm  left wonderin' 
    Is my first love ok?
    
    [Chorus]
    I never forgot about you,
    Not one single day.
You were the wish I 'd always make,
    As I blew my candles away.
    All the roads I wandered,
    Every sky I looked through—
    No matter where life took me,
    I never forgot about you.
    
    [Verse 3]
    Found your picture in an old shoe box,
    Your smile stopped me in my tracks.
    I searched out your name,
    Didn’t know if you’d recall our flame.
    You wrote back, said you’d lost yours too,
    Said you still think of me right out of the blue.
    We set a date to meet in town—
    Hopin' first love comes around.
    
    [Bridge]
    You walked in, those same blue eyes,
We both stood there, couldn’t help but cry.
    You held my hand, I felt seventeen,
    Like no time had passed us by.
    
    [Chorus 2]
    I never forgot about you,
    Not one single day.
    You’re the song I kept humming
    When the world drifted away.
Now here we are, hearts wide open,
    Starting something true—
    After all this time,
    I never forgot about you.
    
    [Outro]
    Two old hands, folded tight,
    Coffee’s warm in the morning light.
    If this is our last page, I’m glad it’s with you—
    After all these years,
    I never forgot about you.
    
    [Tag]
    I never forgot about you.
    No, I never forgot about you.

    I see you two-steppin’ at the honky-tonk,
    Your smile’s so bright, like whiskey on the rocks.
    I’m sitting in shadows by the jukebox light,
    Wishin’ you’d see me later on tonight
    
    [Verse 2]
    You’re swingin’ to his rhythm as the country band plays,
     I’m suckin' down longnecks puttin' on charades,
    He’s your one hit wonder, I’m your hidden track,
    Don't you worry darlin’, cause I'm hangin' out back.
    
    [Chorus]
    I don’t wanna be your late-night, your what-if,  or your second hand choice,
    Waiting by the porch steps, with the lights on, for your lonely heart’s voice.
    I wanna be the only one who sets your world on fire,
    Not a throwaway tune when his bad notes expire.
    I wanna go from your B-side to your A-ride,
    So flip your bad self over and play my way.
    
    [Verse 3]
    You sing his praises by fire’s faint light,
    Skippin’ my tune that's outta sight,
    B-sides hold a deeper sound,
    Hearts like mine waitin' to be found
    
    [Verse 4]
    He’s king of the hill,  got a toast in his hand,
    But when it's over, will he understand?
    I’m the song you'll recall, as the night drifts on,
    The one you'll keep playing, long after he’s gone.
    
    [Chorus]
    I don’t wanna be your late-night, your what-if,  or your second hand choice,
    Waiting by the porch steps, with the lights on, for your lonely heart’s voice.
    I wanna be the only one who sets your world on fire,
    Not a throwaway tune when his bad notes expire.
    I wanna go from your B-side to your A-ride,
    So flip your bad self over and play my way.
    
    
[Bridge]
    When his chorus fades to silence,
    I’ll be the groove your heart longs for,
    Turn it over let the lost be found,
    Your B-side lover’s always been around.

    
    [Chorus]
    I don’t wanna be your late-night, your what-if,  or your second hand choice,
    Waiting by the porch steps, with the lights on, for your lonely heart’s voice.
    I wanna be the only one who sets your world on fire,
    Not a throwaway tune when his bad notes expire.
    I wanna go from your B-side to your A-ride,
    So flip your bad self over and play my way.
    
    
[Outro]
    I’ll keep singing steady as the river runs,
    Til you call this B-side your number one,
    We'll dance til the morning light comes
    No flips left darlin’...
    
    'cause this here song is done.

    I visited a boat bar in Tarpon Springs, FL that was the ultimate dive bar. This song is about that place. The cover art is the actual bar itself.

    Lyrics

    Verse 1:
    Heard about this joint, tucked down by the river bend,
    Where the neon flickers like a promise to a friend.
    Locals unwind, let their secrets spill out,
    Bras on the ceiling, stories you can’t talk about.
    Stage in the corner, old six-string scars,
    Trophies of wild nights and busted guitars.
    Bluegrass on Tuesdays, Skynyrd on Fridays,
    Where the jukebox knows all our favorite highways.
    
    Pre-Chorus:
    Yeah, we’re raising hell and glasses high,
    Losing track of time in a...
    
    Chorus:
    5 Star Dive Bar
    Looks like a dump, but it’s a palace at heart.
    Where the girls get prettier with every last jar,
    And the world gets blurry under neon stars.
    You’ve heard about these places, can’t remember the names,
    Just the faces and the laughter and the runaway flames.
    Yeah, it’s home when you’re lost, no matter who you are-
    In a 5 Star Dive Bar.
    
    Verse 2:
    Boat ramp to the left, rotting dock out back,
    You’ll risk it all for a midnight attack.
    Pot-bellied stove, it’s the only heat you’ll need,
    Smoke curling up with the scent of good weed.
    Cash only, honey, for whatever you crave,
    Hit the ATM or barter what you saved.
    Old-timers at the bar, spinning tales and cigars,
    Trading shots for stories, counting battle scars.
    
    Pre-Chorus:
    Yeah, we’re getting sideways, hearts on our sleeve,
    Dancing with the shadows in a...
    
    Chorus:
    5 Star Dive Bar
    You see it from the outside, love it from the inside,
    Where the girls look better as time slips by.
    You’ve heard about these places, can’t remember the names,
    Just the faces and the laughter and the runaway flames.
    Yeah, it’s home when you’re lost, no matter who you are-
    In a 5 Star Dive Bar.
    
    Bridge:
    Sticky floors and bathroom doors that barely even close,
    A jukebox full of heartbreak and a bar-top lined with ghosts.
    Every round’s a memory, every night’s a scar,
    But we keep coming back, chasing who we are.
    
    Chorus:
    5 Star Dive Bar
    Where the whiskey’s cheap and the love’s on tap,
    Where the girls get prettier and the world fades to black.
    You’ve heard about these places, can’t remember the names,
    Just the faces and the laughter and the runaway flames.
    Yeah, it’s home when you’re lost, no matter who you are-
    In a 5 Star Dive Bar.
    
    Outro:
    So here’s to the misfits, the dreamers, the scars,
    Raise a glass to the legends of the 5 Star Dive Bar.

    My grandma had 2 books with yellow pages on the shelf in her kitchen. She referred to both at different times, when she had different needs. This song has a neat play on words.

    Lyrics

    Verse 1]
    On a shelf marked by fingerprints and recipes within,
    Sat two worn books with covers, soft as grandma’s grin.
    Pages curled like autumn leaves, with gold around the edge,
    Every note she wrote was a tender, faithful pledge.
    
    [Verse 2]
    Next to it, a phone book, thick and heavy, too, 
    Names and numbers, towns and kin, lifelines tried and true. 
    She’d trace the lines with quiet care, searching for a cure
    She'd reach up for the Word, when she needed something more.
    
    [Chorus]
    Both books held numbers, and pointed out the way, 
    One called out to neighbors, the other called out to pray. 
    So if you’re needing help in your life's tough stages,
    The line to heaven's listed,  in those faded yellow pages.
    
    [Verse 3]
    I’d watch her circle scriptures, like names she’d underline, 
    Coffee stains and fingerprints, a legacy in time. 
    She’d say, “If you need a helping hand, you know right where to look
    God’s number’s always listed,  here in this book.”
    
    [Verse 4]
    The Yellow Pages told you who to call when storms would roll, 
    But grandma’s Bible showed you how to find some peace of soul. 
    Both were guides for seeking help, in troubles big or small, 
    But only one could lift you up when you felt you’d lost it all.
    
    [Chorus]
    Both books held numbers, and pointed out the way, 
    One called out to neighbors, the other called out to pray. 
    So if you’re needing help in your life's tough stages,
    The line to heaven's listed,  in those faded yellow pages.
    
    [Bridge]
    Now the phone book’s gone to memory, and grandma’s gone too, 
    I keep her Bible on my shelf, the pages turning through. 
    Sometimes I’ll flip to Psalms or dial an old friend’s name, 
    And feel her arms around me, whispering just the same.
    
    [Chorus]
    Both books held numbers, and pointed out the way, 
    One called out to neighbors, the other called out to pray. 
    So if you’re needing help in your life's tough stages,
    The line to heaven's listed,  in those faded yellow pages.
    
    [Outro]
    So here’s to all the listings, and prayers that never age,
    A book of names and numbers, and faith that lights the way.
    When I’m searching for a lifeline, or through life’s tough stages,
    I’ll find my way to Jesus, through grandma’s yellow pages.

    You Never Know

    Christian
    3:38

    One thing I love about having God in my life is I just never know what's coming up next. He does! I'm content with knowing even through the hard times, I am never alone.

    Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    Walking down this dark and lonely road.
    Weight on my shoulders, a heavy, heavy load.
    Thought I had it figured out, swore I knew my fate.
    My drreams were somehow further, with every step I’d take.
    
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Praying for sunshine, in pouring rain.
    Drenched in sorrows, drowned in pain.
    
    [Chorus]
    You never know, what God’s gonna do,

    When lost in the night, He’ll carry you through.

    If you’re goin' through hell, He’ll show you the way.
    Skies full of hope for brand new days.

    You never know, you never know,
What God’s gonna do.
    
    [Verse 2]
    Seen doors slam shut, dreams fall apart.
    Felt the sting of failure, the aching in my heart.
    When I can’t take one more step,
God whispers, I'm not done yet.
    
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Grace comes in, right out of the blue.
    Turns mess to mercy, makes all things new.
    
    [Chorus]
    You never know what God’s gonna do,
    When lost in the night, He’ll carry you through.
    If you’re goin' through hell, He’ll show you the way.
    Skies full of hope for brand new days.
    You never know,
    
    [Bridge]
    He moves mountains, He parts the sea,
    He finds captives, He sets them free.
    In the midst of chaos, He makes a way,
    Turns dark nights to brighter days.
    
    [Chorus]
    You never know, what God’s gonna do,

    When lost in the night, He’ll carry you through.

    If you’re goin' through hell, He’ll show you the way.
    Just hear out my heart, again I'll say....
    
    [Chorus]
    You never know, what God’s gonna do,

    When lost in the night, He’ll carry you through.

    If you’re goin' through hell, He’ll show you the way.
    Skies full of hope for brand new days.

    You never know, you never know,
What God’s gonna do.
    
    [Outro]
    You never know,
    You never know,
    What God’s gonna do.

    I parked next to this jeep at the grocery store. I thought, "Keith, that there is a song title." So I thought about what kind of woman would drive such a vehicle, and what would she be like. This fun song sums it up!

    Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    Sunrise peeks through the curtains, boots by the door
    Lip gloss and flannel, can’t ask for much more
    Jeep’s in the driveway, with mud caked tires
    She’s got dreams in her pocket and a wild fire desire
    
    [Chorus]
    Mud and mascara, that’s how she rolls
    Dirt on her Levi’s, a heart made of gold
    She’s country strong,  she’s got her own style
    Laughin’ through the backroads,  free as a child
    Mud and mascara, she’s queen of the wild
    
    [Verse 2]
    Radio’s playin’ that small-town song
    She’s got a six-pack of laughter, singin’ right along
    Wind in her hair, sun gleaming on her face
    A little bit of glam in this down-home place
    
    [Chorus]
    
    [Bridge]
    She’ll dance in the rain, then fix her hair
    Tough as the gravel, soft as a prayer
    From Friday night lights to Sunday sunrise
    She’s the sparkle and the grit in her mama’s eyes
    
    [Chorus]
    [Chorus]
    
    [Outro]
    Yeah, she’s mud and mascara,
    Country to the bone,
    Runnin’ these backroads,
    Making them her own.

    This song sprung out of a real news article I read. They actually used the term "JukeBox Brawl" and I thought, "that there is a song that needs to be written." So I did! Really funny, and I filled in some blanks that weren't in the news article!

    Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    Friday night down at the Rusty Nail, 
    The bar’s gettin’ loud, drunk’s telling tall tales. 
    Last call’s near, the night’s about to fall, 
    You know how it goes, ‘round these parts we break the law.
    
    [Verse 2]
    In the corner stands a lady, shots of Jack in her hand, 
    Playin’ Lynyrd Skynyrd like she owns the damn land. 
    Dancin’ wild, man, she’s buzzin’ like a bee, 
    Ten damn times,  don’t wanna set that birdy free.
    
    Over by the Rock-olla fists start to fly , 
    Two drunk ladies dustin’ up, I cant tell why. 
    One loves Garth, and she wants to change the call, 
    But the Skinnerd fan won’t quit,  now it's a Jukebox Brawl.
    
    [Verse 3]
    The dance floor’s turned into a wild free-for-all, 
    Crowd’s circlin’ round as they watch these kitties brawl. 
    Shots keep on flowin’, and the tempers start to flare, 
    Po-Po rollin’ up, breakin’ down the affair.
    
    [Chorus]
    Over by the Rock-olla fists start to fly, 
    Two drunk ladies dustin’ up, I cant tell why. 
    One loves Garth, and she wants to change the call, 
    But the Skinnerd fan won’t quit,  now it's a Jukebox Brawl.
    
    [Bridge]
    Cops shut it down, said “That’s all for tonight,” 
    But everyone knows, next Friday’s fight’s in sight. 
    So if you’re looking for trouble, or breakin' the law,
    Head down to the Rusty, for the next Jukebox Brawl.
    
    [Chorus]
    Over by the Rock-olla fists start to fly, 
    Two drunk ladies dustin’ up, I cant tell why. 
    One loves Garth, and she wants to change the call, 
    But the Skinnerd fan won’t quit, now it's a Jukebox Brawl.
    
    [Outro]
    It's a Jukebox Brawl...
    Someone's gonna take the fall...

    In anything in life, you're either in or out. Being stuck in the middle is not taking control of your life. This song can apply to anything in our life. This one is getting cut and released by a new artist in early 2026!

    Lyrics

    (Verse 1)
    I wear my cross but hide my doubt,
    Some days I’m in, some days I’m out.
    I pray a little, then turn away,
    Guess I’m scared of what God might say.
    
    (Pre-Chorus)
    Riding fences never gets you somewhere,
    Guess I’m stuck in the midst of nowhere.
    
    (Chorus)
    Hot nor cold ain't being bold,
    Lukewarm love is hard to hold.
    Halfway faith won’t light my way,
    Lukewarm hearts just fade away.
    
    (Verse 2)
    Sunday suit and Monday sin,
    Living like you can’t ever let Him in.
    Hallowed hands and hollowed eyes,
    Too scared to choose, too proud to rise.
    
    Pre-Chorus
    Riding the fence never gets you somewhere,
    On that line ain’t really going nowhere.
    
    (Chorus)
    
    (Bridge)
    Can’t chase the world and still be true,
    One foot in heaven, one in the blues.
    If I don’t choose now, I’ll lose my way,
    Lukewarm soul just drifts each day.
    
    (Chorus)
    
    (Outro)
    I'll pick His side, let my heart decide,
    Being lukewarm, just ain’t worth the ride.

    This is a funny song that is best described by listening to it. Dude thought he was gonna wear her out.. well.. not quite bucko! Note: I played the bass, piano and keys on this and replaced the stems, yes.. I am a real musician.

    Lyrics

    Verse 1]
    Rolled up in my Chevy, told the boys I’d have some fun,
    Thought I’d sweep her off her feet, leave her spinnin’ when I’m done.
    I had the talk, I had the walk, got that certain southern style,
    Till she flipped the script on me, and rode me for awhile
    
    [Chorus]
    I thought she was the one, kept her wrangled in my arms,
    Drove her wild, stole her heart with my bad boy country charm.
    Then came all these honey do’s, honey dont’s, honey not tonight’s
    Thought I’d be wearing on her, but damn..... she’s wearing me out.
    
    [Verse 2]
    She’s got  a hundred plans for Saturday, Sunday’s just the same,
    I’m learning yoga, cleaning baseboards, on her crazy train.
    Tradin’ late-night whiskey for her gluten-free bread,
    She’s got me chasing sunrise with her planner by the bed.
    
    [Chorus]
    I thought she was the one, kept her wrangled in my arms,
    Drove her wild, stole her heart with my bad boy country charm.
    Then came all these honey do’s, honey dont’s, honey not tonight’s
    Thought I’d be wearing on her, but damn..... she’s wearing me out
    
    [Solo]
    
    [Bridge]
     I used to own the night, but she rewrote the rules,
    Now I’m happy being her number one fool.
    
    [Chorus]
    I thought I’d wear her out, spinning hearts beneath the stars,
    But she’s the reason that I’m breathless, she’s outshined all my parts.
    She’s got me loving harder, working better, there’s no doubt—
    Thought I’d be wearing on her, but thank God,  she’s helpin' me out.
    
[Outro]
There’s no doubt
    This girl is wearing me out

    I had this song title pop in my mind and the story wrote itself almost immediately. I locked in the lyrics and used AI for the music. This song was cut by a country artist for release in 2026!

    Lyrics

    [Verse 1]
    Walked in Friday night, keepin’ it low
    Smoke curlin’ ‘round tables where bad hombres go
    Bought in with my last hundred, heart beatin’ like a drum
    Cards hittin’ down, stackin’ chips, winnin’ one after one
    
    [Verse 2]
    Full house on river, luck ridin’ with me
    Ace in the Hole winked, the cards held the key
    Each deal I took the pot, each bluff fell flat
    By last call’s time, their chips stacked high in my hat
    
    [Chorus]
    Playin’ with snakes, thought I was holdin’ all the cards
    It’s a dangerous game when your luck gets hard
    Chasin’ fool’s gold ‘til the fire’s been lit
    Son, playin’ with snakes means you might get bit
    
    [Verse 3]
    Saturday night struttin’ through that bar door again
    Still smellin’ my winnings, still wearin’ my grin
    They sat me between One-Eyed Jack and a man called Red
    Didn’t see it coming, but I was better off dead
    
    [Verse 4]
    Turn card was danger, my river ran cold
    Suddenly my lucky streak was put on hold
    They took my stack, my ring, and my Stetson hat too
    They walked me out barefoot, took my boots and my loot
    
    [Chorus]
    Playin’ with snakes, thought I was holdin’ all the cards
    It’s a dangerous game when your luck gets hard
    Chasin’ fool’s gold ‘til the fire’s been lit
    Son, playin’ with snakes means you might get bit
    
    [Bridge] 
    Every card’s got a price, every bet’s got a cost
    Don’t know you’re losing ‘til you’ve already lost
    One wink from Ace in the Hole, and my fate was sealed
    In this backroom game, mercy ain’t part of the deal
    
    [Chorus]
    Playin’ with snakes, thought I was holdin’ all the cards
    It’s a dangerous game when your luck gets hard
    Chasin’ fool’s gold ‘til the fire’s been lit
    Son, playin’ with snakes means you might get bit
    
    [Outro] 
    Don’t sit with One-Eyed Jack.
    Don’t trust Ace in the Hole.
    Never forget—
    Every hand tells a story...
    Some stories bite.

    Jesus and Jack

    Country
    3:54

    Sometimes, the person that doesn't attend church is more Christlike than those who do. Jack is that person.

    Lyrics

    (Verse 1)

    Jack lives down the street, in a house with a crooked gate

    He waves at every neighbor, never shows up late

    He’s got a smile for strangers, a dollar for the jar

    He’s never seen a steeple, but he’s got a giving heart
    
    [Verse 2]
    He’ll mow an old man’s lawn, just ‘cause it needs done

    Tips the waitress double, never tells anyone

    He don’t talk about forgiveness, but he lets grudges go

    While I’m quoting scripture, he’s just letting kindness show
    
    [Chorus]
    Jesus and Jack, two names on my mind

    One I pray to, one I see all the time

    Jack don’t know the verses, but he lives out the lines

    He’s more like Jesus than I’ll ever be, 
    And it tears me up inside
    
    [Verse 3]

    Sunday morning, I’m dressed up, singing in a pew

    Thinking about the gospel, but not living it through

    Jack’s out fixing fences, sharing what he’s got

    He don’t call it ministry, but he gives it all he’s got
    
    [Verse 4]
    I talk about salvation, I talk about the cross

    But Jack forgives the world, no matter what it costs

    He don’t preach about heaven, or warn about the flames

    He just loves his neighbor, never asks for fame
    
    [Chorus]
    Jesus and Jack, two names on my mind

    One I pray to, one I see all the time

    Jack don’t know the verses, but he lives out the lines

    He’s more like Jesus than I’ll ever be, 
    And it tears me up inside
    
    [Bridge]

    I bow my head and ask the Lord,

    Why can’t I walk the talk I’ve stored?

    If faith is more than words and songs,

    Why does Jack get it right, while I get it wrong?
    
    [Chorus]
    Jesus and Jack, two names on my mind

    One I pray to, one I see all the time

    Jack don’t know the verses, but he lives out the lines

    He’s more like Jesus than I’ll ever be, 
    And it tears me up inside
    
    [Outro]
    So I’ll keep praying, searching for the truth

    Hoping I can learn to live a little more like you

    Jesus and Jack, both teaching me

    How to love my neighbor, and set my spirit free

    4:51

    We live in a chaotic world, it can be very scary these days. For myself, having faith in God helps me navigate above the storms.

    Lyrics

    [Verse 1]

    Woke up to a world spun out of control
    Storms on the horizon, thunder in my soul
    Every headline, every whisper, every shadow in the night
    Tries to pull me under, tries to steal my light
    
    [Pre-Chorus]

    But I hear a voice inside me, so soft and low
    Saying, “Child, you’re not alone—just let go”
    
    [Chorus]

    Above the chaos, I will rise
    With faith as my shelter, hope as my guide
    When the world is shaking, I will stand
    On the promise of mercy, held in Your hand
    You never said the storm would cease

    You promised me Your perfect peace
     I’ll keep my eyes on what I know is true
    Above the chaos, I’ll rise with You
    
    [Verse 2]

    Tried to fight battles, tried to hold the line
    Lost in the questions, running out of time
    But when the world is spinning, and I can’t see through
    I’ll lean on the One who always pulls me through
    
    [Pre-Chorus]

    You’re the calm within the madness, steady and sure
    With every breath, I’m learning to endure
    
    [Chorus]
    Above the chaos, I will rise
    With faith as my shelter, hope as my guide
    When the world is shaking, I will stand
    On the promise of mercy, held in Your hand
    You never said the storm would cease

    You promised me Your perfect peace
     I’ll keep my eyes on what I know is true
    Above the chaos, I’ll rise with You
    
    [Bridge]

    When the night is darkest, and fear closes in
    I’ll remember Your goodness again and again

    You’re the anchor in the tempest, the light when I’m lost
    With You, I can face whatever the cost
    
    [Chorus]
    Above the chaos, I will rise
    With faith as my shelter, hope as my guide
    When the world is shaking, I will stand
    On the promise of mercy, held in Your hand
    You never said the storm would cease

    You promised me Your perfect peace
     I’ll keep my eyes on what I know is true
    Above the chaos, I’ll rise with You
    
    [Outro]
A
    bove the chaos, I will rise with You

    Bubblegum dreams, yeah, I’m feeling that good

    Riding on a comet, texting from the sky

    3:18

    Love the comparison between the woman and the storm. So many good metaphors in this song, my favorite line I wrote is "She can drive a nail through your hearts door." She's a tempest, that's her allure.

    Lyrics

    (Intro)
    I saw her from a distance, she was dancin' up a storm....
    
    (Verse 1)
    Lightning in her tempest, thunder in her side.
    Spinnin' through my mind's eye, nowhere left to hide.
    My world's left in shambles, a flash then she’s gone.
    She’s the center of my storm and I’m just holding on.
    
    (Chorus 1)
    Spinnin’ like a top, she's out of control.
    If you’re not careful, she’ll swallow you whole.
    She can drive a nail, clean through your heart’s door.
    Best to keep your distance—that's her allure.
    She rips through my world, I’m caught up in her roar—
    'Cause I’m tied to a twister, and I want her even more.
    
    (Verse 2)
    She dances on the rooftops, shakes the windows in my soul.
    Tearing things up, never letting go.
    She’s a hook on the radar, a siren in the night.
    You can’t tame a twister, but she's worth the wild ride.
    
    (Chorus 2)
    
    (Bridge)
    Maybe one day she’ll run out of steam,
    Lift back up, just like a bad dream.
    I’ll pick up the pieces, hope she’s through.
    Tornado alley, she’ll be back times two.
    
    (Chorus 3)
    
    (Outro)
    Tied to a twister, I’m standing my ground,
    Lovin' the chaos, when she spins all around.
    She’s wild and reckless, but she’s my world
    I’m tied to a twister, she's my spun up girl.

    Clock strikes nine, I’m still killin’ time
    Flight’s delayed, that ain’t fine
    People watchin’ time drags on by
    Drowned two cheap reds, disguised as wine
    If I catch this flight...
    Maybe I can make things right
    
    [Verse 2]
    Last we spoke, it didn’t end clean
    My pride ran high, your words cut mean
    They say time’s a healer, so here I stand
    Comin’ back home to you, once again

    
    [Chorus]
    Gate 48, I thought we were through
    Packed our past in this old suitcase too
    Headin’ back to Nashville, prayin’ it’s not too late
    That’s why I’m here waitin’ at Gate 48

    
    [Bridge]
    It’s that time, heart stuck in my throat
    Love’s a risk—but I’ll board that hope

[Verse 3]
    Now they’re callin’ my letter, it’s now or never
    Phone in my hand, I hesitate to remember
    A second chance waiting on the other side of fate
    With every mile flown from…..

    
    [Chorus]
    Gate 48, I thought we were through
    Packed our past in this old suitcase too
    Headin’ back to Nashville, prayin’ it’s not too late
    That’s why I’m here waitin’ at Gate 48

[Outro]
    Gate 48…(prayin' its not too late)
    Gate 48... (hopin' it turns out great)
    Gate 48...(comin' home to you)
