Happy Birthday JuJu Bean!!!! Jude's song copyright 2011

well, what an incredibly special day!!! Today is Jude's 1st birthday! I am finding it hard to believe how quickly time flies. I am in love with this boy...what an unbelievable gift God gave us...a son....a brother...a sweet special little man...I wrote you a song little boy...mommy loves you more than you could ever imagine!!!

Jude’s song 8-18-11

Hold on tight
Cause time, you on the run
Yeah I hold on to ya
Cause boy…your so much fun
And from where you stand
No it seems…there’s little that cant be done

Wanna ride forever on this line
Train, no don’t stop never
And I wont mind

Oh can we just carry on …the way we do
Till the end of time….me and you…me and you
A million times love knew me…before I knew love too
And oh I love you…oh boy I love you

When u look my way
I surely come undone
Better and better days
Oh you made each one
And from where I stand
It seems the best is still to come

Oh this ol world
yeah it must of knew
cause that ol sun
Cant shine as bright as you

I Know copyright 2011

New day. New song. Good life.

not to mention today is my hubby's bday! I mean really...I have so much to celebrate and be thankful for...thank you God for blessing me with such a tender hearted loving man and incredible father to our children...I know this isnt exactly a birthday song...dont worry babes its not a dedication...sometimes I feel the power of emotion just by seeing it through someone else...sometimes I remember a feeling I once had....and sometimes my songs are direct knee-jerk reactions ...however, where ever it is they come from...im so thankful they come...Jessica without a song...is Jessica without. Hope you like and I cant wait to be back with more!

I'd be mistaken
If I said love weren't worth makin'
for a heart worth breakin'

and i'd be a foolin'
if I said, I wouldn't do it again

Chorus:
Oh, I know
But where do I go from here

I'd be a liar
If I said, I'd lost all desire
That, I don't still burn from your fire

Oh, I know
but where do we go from here

Bridge:
Oh I'll try, not to this time

Verse:

Got my vices-

Yeah but I got my choices too

But ain’t you got mercy, darlin’

Can’t I get some from you



You got worries baby-

But I got you-

Ain’t we got a little somethin’

To get us through



Chorus:

Have some faith- to carry me

I know your love boy, can set me free

Give me some time –cause you know that I’m on my way

And I’m just as broke down as a girl can be



So we got troubles –

How can all the blame be mine

Don’t everyone have them –baby

Just of a different kind



Baby –what’s you hurry

Take my hand and we’ll leave behind

All of your worries

And we’ll make the best of the rest of time



Chorus



Bridge:

Reminisce about the good times

When I was yours and you were all mine

Now can’t you believe-won’t you believe-that I’m something you need-



Chorus

Got It All Down...Friday NightFish Fry...copyright 05

its a good day to be alive...i hope you enjoy tonights fish fry...

one thing is for sure...I should not be a guitar player...any volunteers?????


Got It All Down

Wish I could come home


And see you all dressed up

Maybe if I never left ya



But looks like you got it all down



Wish that’s something I’d of thought of

And known that life would still go on

And we’d both make other plans



Oh it looks like you got it down



Chorus:

But won’t you think of me –as you lay to dream

Won’t you think of me a little in between



And once you get it all down



Wish I could show you

Looks like I’m getting closer

Those steps are getting lesser



And I got it all down



Wish I knew just one way

To do both two things

You know I’ll be sending you this letter



And I hope I got it all down

Chorus

Josie-Friday Night Fish Fry copyright 05

this a very meaningful song to me...wrote a lot of years ago from a personal experience...I heard some news recently that really brought this song back into my mind...I hate sometines to devulge to much info about the meaning of my songs as I would hope that the listener finds his own interpretation...something that is meaningful to him ...something personal...

however some of the "song" background is...while living in Nashville my Daddy would send me some of his song ideas on tape  ...me and him would often come up with some pretty cool stuff together...anyway...he sent me a tape labeled Josie..and told me that -that's who he thought of when he played it....well it was just a guitar chord progression...and I immediately had a melody and words to add to it...then I found the perfect chorus and bridge to add...and ta-da..it was a beautiful co-write...

Josie

I know the time, I know the time wasn’t right

Oh but I’d of sure liked to try

I know the time, I know the time wasn’t mine

But I’d a wrapped you up and held you tight



Josie come fly with me-

We gonna make it alright

Josie come fly with me

We gonna make through the night



You see I don’t know what I’d of said

But I’d of shouted it out real loud anyway

And I wonder sometimes about if things had turned out that way

oh…HOPE…is a new day



Chorus

Bridge:

Come on, come-on Josie

Hold On, hold on Josie

Come on -hold on tight

Josie hold on one more night

You Can Hold On

there are those moments...when you close your eyes...and imagine how things should be...and then when re-opened things are exactly as you had imagined...exactly how they should be....i am right there in my life right now...

here is the latest song...directors cut ...though the meaning of this song may not correlate exactly with the sentiment above...the song is a dedication...and for whom ...well, they will know who they are and to simply hold on...

You Can Hold On

and for hope, aint there none
cant make do, what you've undone
you could go-but wont you stay
cant take -what you aint gave

cant sleep in this bed thats been made
so wont you plead, wont you beg
cant go back and take away
all this pain-all this shame

you can hold on

aint there days when the rain
seems like it could wash you all clean
and you just fall to your knees
no you cant break free

you can hold on

cant find the right words
cant find 'em

FRIDAY NIGHT FISH FRY REVIVAL...Bright Eyed Blues

back by popular demand???? uh nope...but I had an itch to scratch....now for those of you that aren't familiar with this format...I frequently and then un-frenquently post what has come to be known as the "Friday Night Fish Fry"...I would call it a sparatic surge of "gotta get ..get"... just needed to sing a bit.. just needed an audience...I am a performer...I actually need this outlet in order to survive...

so as you will hear ...if you listen to my presentation of "Bright Eyed Blues"...there is another voice in the background...it may to the untrained ear seem like a harmony or a neat little"effect"...but I just wanted to clarify....to those underground musicians that happen upon this at 4am...it is not a out of tune string...or an off-beat drum...that is actually the sound of my daughter yelling for me...in the background...now I just remind you she is only 10 months old..so Im sure these are impassioned yells...that I interpret as "mommy sing louder"so instead of me 're-recording'..I ask that you close you eyes and pretend that you are watching this live..and that you are just hearing a crazy, excited fan....hope you enjoy and this one's for you Finn!

Thursday- as good of time as any for a jam..."oh Boy its YOU"...

i love thursdays ...even if it is re-runs...i get to watch office...anyway...seems like its been awhile...its hard for me to stay consistent...however...hopefully it keeps things exciting...im so sure your on pins and needles to hear one of my silly little songs...well anyhow...hope you enjoy! This ones for Frankie!

OH BOY ITS YOU

All I can do –
Is just think of you
Just so happy to say
it turned out this way

Though a million turns-
Theres just one world
Yeah and just one place
I’d like to be

I’ve wrote all the words
I bought all the gifts
But I’ve run out of ways
To capture this

Cause there are little girls
With their golden curls
Dreamin all night
Of exactly this kind of life

Chorus:
Oh boy its you
And that smile
And your touch
With you I’m never without

And its me
And how it feels
When we kiss do others know of
moments like this

Verse:
Theres are things to do
And places to go
But being held in arms
Theres nothing better I know

You can look for years
Spend your whole life
Searchin for things
You won’t ever find


Five (8 now) years ago
On a day like this
I made a promise with
just one kiss

It gave me sunny days
took me through stormy nights
I still know that kiss
When I turn out the light

Shiny

Sun lit my eyes on fire
I still have such a dry desire
We’re dancing on the roof
Sparks shimmer in the sky

Thunder rolled the night away
I awoke in a different day
Our hearts lit up the moon
We circled out –leavin a sign

Oh happy days….my happy days

Summer days came to pass
Star lit eyes didn’t seem to last
Blue skies turn to gray
Rain, rain, go away

A silver lining frames those times
When I was yours and you were mine
Red hot heart and milky ways
Golden rocks and waterfalls

Oh happy days…they never seem to stay

Friday Night left overs...always better the second time around...In Town For the Very Last Time

Featuring the "waterboy" and Kayla on backup vocals....Special thanks to all Fish Fry participants...couldn't keep this going with out the help of my friends...not to mention those fish that dont get fried...you know the cats I'm talking 'bout....anyway, enjoy...this song holds special meaning....

In Town for the Very Last Time
©2009

So here I am, thought I’d stop by
Searchin’ for faces that fill spaces –of mine
The words I save- is that I’ll miss you
And what you can see –it is see through
Chorus:
Cause I’m in Town for the Very Last Time (2x)

If we only knew of tomorrow
Then those forever words, we’d say right now
To what I can’t say, I hope you listening
For this moment, is ever-lasting
Chorus
Bridge:
Time is all that we have-in this world
All that we haven’t control (3X)
Chorus (2x)

All the lost words, I bet you would find
Missing photographs, etched in your mind
Say what you can say
Do what you can do

"Friday Night Fish Fry" series brings to you ...You Tube...Mother's Day dedication

okay so yes...im mushy..and i happen to love my family...but i always want the people I love to know how much they matter to me...so here is a song I wrote for my mom a few years back....it is actually one of my favorite songs ...because it is exactly how I feel about her...
she is the greatest example of a "giver" that I have ever known...

mom,

if I could make a wish for Mother's day...well okay I would need two wishes....
the first one would be that you receive, in return -ALL the love and joy that you have given so many(especially us!) times a million...and my second wish would be....now that I'm a mother...I wish that Maggie know the kind of love that I did growing up- and that I may be as good of an example of that love to her...just like you were to me ...

Happy Mom's Day!!!!!!!! enjoy your song (hope your not tired of it yet)


Angel By My Side
©2009


No it wasn’t chance-
There’s was a bigger plan
And we’d all be less without her

Those ladies you see –
Like you always want to be
She’s one of them-you can’t live without her

She’s a givin heart
She’s a lovin hand
No, I ain’t what I am without her

Like superman
There ain’t nothin’ she can’t
And their ain’t nothing that you can without her

Chorus:
So I can’t deny with this kind of life (2x)
I must have had an angel by my side

Vs:
She’ll take less for her
If it’ll make more of you
And you ain’t ever got to doubt her

See she ain’t just okay-
No she ain’t just alright-
But I sure am glad that my daddy made her his wife

Chorus:
Cause in this life there will come a time
When you need an angel by your side

No she don’t care
If your unaware-
She just keep on doing her thing

She don’t mind
When you fall behind
She gonna love you anyway

Chorus:
So I can’t deny with this kind of life (2x)
I must have had an angel by my side

You Tube...Nothin To Say ©2009

Nothin to say

Packed up all my bags
and I moved out after all-
Easier to walk on out
Than to out -walk it all

Been gone for some years-
Sometimes it seems-I’s never there
Once you get away…don’t they say
It’s harder to come back again

Chorus:
I wish I knew something to say

Never mind –those never ways
I just thought you’d call today
Learnin’ slow –to longing days
For time is fast when it’s wished away

Chorus:
I wish I knew something to say

So what are these painted tears
And the try hard to finds
Oh -I know I wasted yours
Yes, I know I wasted mine

So what, I try to hard
But no never try hard enough
Took me to knowin’ this
Tryin’ hard means bein’ tough

Chorus:
I wish I knew something to say

Bridge:
Oh –with all of us dyin’ 4X
I wish I had something to say

"Friday Night Fish Fry" series...this ain't Macy Gray

By the Hand-©2009

Chorus:
Oh Baby-won’t you take me, take ma by the hand
Baby won’t you take me-take me while you can
Oh baby-won’t you take me, take me by the hand
I’ll be your lovin’ woman-if you’ll be my lovin’ man

Vs:
Born on these crossroads
Born in the middle of the night
Grew up fast for reasons-
that still keep me a little girl inside
Tryin’ to get over –to where them lights-
They shine out the night
I’ve been run round, cheated on
Ran down, and a beat on to long
Yeah theirs just pickin’s in this hand full of seeds that I’ve thrown-
You know I messed round and got messed on
But oh darlin –won’t you take me home
Like a little girl-oh I’m just looking for love

Chorus

Vs:
There’s a black sky above me
Ain’t no twinkling in sight
Done wished out them fallin’ stars-
Ran past them shootin’ skies
And you know I ‘s just callin’-
Callin’ your name
Since you left darlin it done seem-
Like a million years went and came

I’ve been run round, cheated on
Ran down, and a beat on to long
Yeah theirs just pickin’s in this hand full of seeds that I’ve thrown-
You know I messed round and got messed on
But oh darlin –won’t you take me home
Like a little girl-oh I’m just looking for love

Want It All- ©2009 "You Tube song"

As I drove away
I took one last look
Back down that pebble road

That wilted path,
So many times,
Traveled to and fro-

…and maybe that’s what made me
finally realize…
there was a track
there was a tread –
a history thread within those lines

you want it all-
come on-you better take this ball and run
these peddlin streets are filled with beggars-
you dream to big you might get stoned-


You make your way-
As to imprint your soul
But… you break away
So to come back home

On a jaggered edge
As a traveler bound
- chancing all….
to have just ONE (won)

…if lightening don’t strike in the same place twice-
then why did I come…

I’m countin’ on miracles now
To get a lost girl on back home
