Verse 1: Well, she’s just over forty Still looks like a million bucks She’s a struttin’ around Them young cowboys wanna try their luck Her girl friends, they all tell her “Why don’t you find a man your own age” She ain’t looking for no life partner Huntin’ season opens today…Yeah… Chorus: That woman is a cougar Man, she’s just a cat on the prowl Tracking down the young men She’ll love ‘em till they cry out loud She don’t want to settle down She likes to catch and release She’d rather have the hunt Then sit on down for the feast That woman is a cougar Man, she’s just a cat on the prowl Verse 2: Now she’s trackin’ down her prey Looks like she’s a ready to pounce Better watch out, boys She’ll chew you up and spit you out She don’t need no sugar daddy You know she likes ‘em young and lean This here honky tonk’s her jungle And kitty’s really diggin’ the scene… Yeah… Chorus: That woman is a cougar Man, she’s just a cat on the prowl Tracking down the young men She’ll love ‘em till they cry out loud She don’t want to settle down She likes to catch and release She’d rather have the hunt Then sit on down for the feast That woman is a cougar Man, she’s just a cat on the prowl Bridge: This ain’t nobody’s granny That’s plain enough to see With eyes that look you over Like you’re fresh, dead meat She’ll play you like a fiddle She’ll play you like a toy You ain’t never gonna tame her ‘Less you’re Siegfried & Roy Yeah, yeah, yeah… Chorus: That woman is a cougar Man, she’s just a cat on the prowl Tracking down the young men She’ll love ‘em till they cry out loud She don’t want to settle down She likes to catch and release She’d rather have the hunt Then sit on down for the feast That woman is a cougar Man, she’s just a cat on the prowl That woman is a cougar Man, she’s just a cat on the prowl…

Verse 1: Babe, I can tell from your letter You’re wondering where we stand Could our love be broken beyond all repair? Now I’m flying home so uncertain But knowing that it was right That I stood up for all of which I care So I wrote you back To tell you that I’m scared... Chorus: ‘Cause they say that war can change a man Make me forget who I am Like my body, my spirit’s not all there A hostage to this wheelchair Can’t promise it’ll be alright Or how much faith is left inside But there’s one thing I can say…is true What’s left of my heart…still belongs to you Verse 2: Long lonely nights in the Sandbox Thoughts of you take me home To our little house, kids out on the lawn But our plans were put on hold, girl When duty and honor called With one final kiss, I left one misty dawn Now you’re wondering Where all our dreams have gone… Repeat Chorus Bridge: Plane’s touching down; they wheel me out Fear in my heart, I scan the crowd From out of nowhere, you rush up to me As I hold you close, through our tears you say You say… Final Chorus: I know that war can change a man But don’t forget who I am I promised I would always care Don’t give a damn ‘bout this chair, yeah Can’t promise it’ll be alright Or how much faith is left inside But there’s one thing I can say…is true Every bit of my heart…still belongs to you Ending: Yeah, everything I am…still belongs to you Yeah, still belongs to you

Verse 1: There was a time, years ago When I’d come home at night You’d be waiting there to welcome me That love light in your eyes Now the bed beside me’s empty You’re downstairs all alone And even when you’re lyin’ here You act like you don’t know… Baby, you don’t know… Chorus 1: Just want to be wanted… Just want to be needed… Just need to see somethin’ more Then hopeless in your eyes Can’t go on waitin’… Anticipa…tin’…’till The passion we once shared comes back To life Don’t want a perfect storybook lie… Just want to be wanted Verse 2: You tell me that you love me true But feel nothing when we touch Don’t want to see love slip away After we’ve been through so much I need some hope to keep me strong When temptation comes to call A lifeline I can hold on to When my back’s against the wall… Up against the wall… <Repeat Chorus> Bridge: Tell me, when did love become not enough To save us? Baby show me how to overcome this gap Between us…Between us <Repeat Chorus> Just want to be needed…

Under A California Moon 04:25

Verse 1: Baby… As we drive on through the night Underneath a California moon You sleep… In the seat there by my side As my mind slips back a short decade or two Seems just like I’m standing still As the world moves on by I know I have to let you go But somewhere in my mind… I hear… Chorus: Daddy can you help me Learn to ride my bike? Kiss and make it better Sing that song I like, The one…with Pooh Bear and a kite I can’t believe you grew up so soon As I sit and watch you sleep Under the California moon Verse 2: Baby… As you prepare to start a life In a world where I’m not part of every day Inside me… Pride and sadness war As I realize you’re finally on your way It’s hard for me to reconcile The woman from the child Is it wrong to want to hold onto My little baby for a while? Bridge: It’s not that I’m not proud Of the woman you’ve become You’re so much more Than any dad deserves But driven ‘cross this desert In the middle of the night You slip a little farther away With every mile passing by And again, I hear… Chorus: (softly) Daddy can you help me Learn to ride my bike? Kiss and make it better Sing that song I like, The one…with Pooh Bear and a kite When can we go shopping? Time to poor the tea Promise that you’ll always Be right here for me I love you…Daddy set me free… I can’t believe you grew up so soon As we drive on through the night and you sleep Under the California moon… Under the California moon… Baby, come home…soon…

Verse1: Long ago, when I was young Daddy working all night long He got home, kicked off his shoes And headed straight to bed I remember slippin’ my little feet Into Daddy’s shoes, thinkin’ “They’re so big I wondered how I’d ever fill them up Or be that strong, be that tough Chorus: From baby steps on Daddy’s toes Two strong hands to help me grow He watched me stumble But never let me fall He showed me how to be a man To shoulder pain, to take a stand Looking back He taught me to stand tall Yeah, I learned to live, To always see it through By walking in Daddy’s shoes Verse 2: Now, I’m just a family man A working guy just like my old man I served my country when she called I know just who I am Looking back I now realize All the worries that he kept inside He never faltered, never lost his way And I’m thankful for him every day <Repeat Chorus> Final Chorus: From baby steps on Daddy’s toes Two strong hands to help me grow He watched me stumble But never let me fall He showed me how to be a man To shoulder pain, to take a stand Looking back He taught me to stand tall Yeah, I learned to live, To always see it through… And to myself always to be true Walking in Daddy’s… shoes, yeah Walking in Daddy’s shoes…

If The White House Was In Memphis©2008 By Rich Jernejcic & Eugene Crider Verse 1: If Elvis was alive today And ran for president There’d be no damned election The Chief Justice would just announce The King is President Alan Jackson would be appointed Chief diplomat of dance Instead of the Lincoln bedroom It’d be called The Good Time Flat With jelly donuts twenty-four seven And the beer is always on tap Chorus: If the White House was in Memphis, And ol’ Elvis was on top Then all them crooks in Congress Would be dancin' to the jailhouse rock The economy would run on On peanut butter and jelly beans There’d be no Air Force One He’d be flying the Lisa Marie And the word would ring out across the land… The King is President Verse 2: That good ol' boy Hank Jr. With all his rowdy friends Would be Secretary of the state And bring peace throughout the land He’d have the whole Country Relaxin” By solving things Man to Man <Repeat Chorus> Bridge: There’ll be a whole lot’a shakin’ Going on across the Nation Them hound dogs would be celebratin’ Yeah…yeah…yeah <Repeat Chorus> Yeah, this song would ring out across the land… The King is President Uh huh…uh huh <spoken> Yeah, Momma

Verse 1: My family thinks that I’m a rock An anchor in a storm They look to me to be their guide To chart for them the safer course But every night I pray to you, And hope that they can’t see I’m wandering without a star Lord, please come and rescue me Chorus 1: I want to be washed in the blood Cleansed by the fire To finally find my way to you To my heart’s true desire I’m reaching out A blind man in the dark, and so alone And looking for your light… To guide me home Verse 2: The evidence lies all around It can not be denied So why is my heart cold as stone When will I feel your grace reside If faith precedes the miracle Then what precedes the faith I’m looking for the smallest sign To see me though another day Chorus 2: I want to be washed in the blood Cleansed by the fire To finally find my way to you I’m reaching out A blind man in the dark, and so alone And looking for your light… Bridge: I know that I just can’t give in But I don’t know what I’ll do If you don’t give me something, yeah For me to hold on to… <Repeat Chorus less last line> To guide...me…home

Verse 1: He came to touch hearts for a while Telling his tale through the art of his tiles A mosaic of faith, hope and love Was the story he told He taught us all about life From making a snowman to riding a bike A father of eight and a friend To so many more We remember his song as he heads Past life’s western shore Chorus: One note at a time He could ease our sore hearts In love’s healing fire One word at a time He would set our souls free And send them higher With a phrase he could break up And make up, and take up Our cause, our desires Stop the world on a dime With a tune and a rhyme One song at a time Verse 2: No pain he had seen could erase A lifetime of smiles etched into his face A light that shined from his eyes Undimmed by years… He showed us the way to erase Life’s worries and fears <Repeat Chorus> Bridge: As the song of his life approached The end of the last verse he wrote The last wish he made Was to stand on the stage And to end life the way that he’d lived… Final Chorus: One note at a time He could ease our sore hearts In love’s healing fire One word at a time He would set our souls free And send them higher With a phrase he could break up And make up, and take up Our cause, our desires Stop the world on a dime With a tune and a rhyme One note at a time… One word a time… One song at…a time…

“Who Would You Be Now” By Rich Owen (Copyright 2009) Verse 1: An old photo in a drawer A girl I once knew I remember the day she told me she was late I told her I would do the right thing But she had other plans; she said, “A quick trip to the doctor is all it takes” Not long after that I heard that she left town To this day I wonder; who would you be now? Chorus 1: Who would you be now? Would you someday cure the cold Or walk on the moon? Who would you be now? Might I someday have walked you down The aisle in June? Verse 2: Down the street where I live There’s a playground and a school The sound of laughter drifts into my room In every child’s face I see The ghost of who you’ll never be And I wonder; does she ever feel it too? I may find a way To live with this, somehow But the guilt, Lord, it’s killing me right now Chorus 2: Who would you be now? Would you unite the World Or bring hunger to an end? Who would you be now? Would you save another’s life By just being a friend? Now we’ll never know The difference that you might have made A stor…ry untold You were a child not a choice But no one heard your voice… Who would you be now? Bridge: The Son of God Gave to us this creed; Whatsoever you do, To the least of my brothers That you do unto me <Musical Bridge> Yes, we’ll never know The difference that you might have made A stor…ry untold You were a child not a choice But no one heard your voice… Who would you be now? We thought it was our choice… We never heard your voice… Who...would...you…be Now?

Verse 1: I watch the news most every night Each time the story’s the same The economy’s sinking like a rock And nobody takes the blame Instead they take another piece Of our future’s shrinking pie As they seize the banks and jobs disappear Miss Liberty starts to cry The President and the Congress Act like they don’t give a damn It’s time to send a message And let ‘em know just where we stand… Chorus: So, come on, sound off Make your choice Gonna make sure Washington Hears our voice Don’t want much Just accountability And they’ll ignore us Talk us down ‘Til they recognize The fearsome sound Of a freight train comin’ And maybe then they’ll see It ain’t them that’s got the upper hand, my friend Cause’ we…surround them Verse 2: I believe in God and honor, Hard work and living right And how I run my house and raise my kids Is up to me and my wife I think no one is above the law That freedom don’t come free Uncle Sam, are you list’ning When I say, “Don’t tread on me”? <Repeat Chorus> Bridge: If you believe like I do In the greatness of this land Know that you are not alone United will we stand… Final Chorus: So, come on, sound off Make your choice Gonna make sure Washington Hears our voice Don’t want much Just accountability And they’ll ignore us Run us down ‘Til they recognize The awesome sound Of a freight train comin’ And maybe then they’ll see It ain’t them that’s got the upper hand, my friend Cause’ we…surround them Yeah, we…surround them
