ALL HERE TOGETHER
Tammy and Roger Baker / Courtney and David Silva / Sue Williams and Seth Pollack / Ofelia and Aaron Munoz / Kim and Luigi Mendoza / Jay Clementi
I’m missing belonging
To a feeling like home
Silence of separation
Can make you feel so alone
I’m making new connections
Accepting my new truth
It was a lie I was buying
They sold me in my youth
We’re all here together
A family of strangers
Writing a new song
All here together
Making some noise
What the hell could go wrong
We’re going to leave a little better
Because we’re all here together
This family of strangers
Aint strangers at all
I’ve walked in your shoes
I won’t let you fall
We’re all here together
A family of strangers
Writing a new song
All here together
Making some noise
What the hell could go wrong
We’re going to leave a little bit better
'Cause we’re all here together
Here together
Here together

Home Is You

HOME IS YOU
David & Courtney Silva / Marshall Altman
We’re all vagabonds, here ‘till we move on
Always waiting till the next time that we go
Yeah, it’s closing doors, like so many times before
You got to say goodbye so you can say hello
There’s always so much change
But something stays the same
I’m still me, and baby, you’re still you
And when that sun does rise
Well I’ll look you in the eyes
And realize this is how we do
I used to think that home was just a place
But when I think of it, I only see your face
I’m reminded of the things I always knew
Home ain’t a house, or town, or a state
Yeah, home is you
We've been planting roots, I been lacing up my boots
Ten thousand miles, and I can feel your hands
Resting there in mine and everything is fine
‘Cause no matter what I feel, you’ll understand
There’s always so much change
But something stays the same
I’m still me, and baby, you’re still you
And when that sun does rise
I’ll look you in the eyes
And realize that this is how we do
I used to think that home was just a place
But when I think of it, I only see your face
Now I’m reminded of the things I always knew
Home ain’t a house, or town, or a state
Yeah, home is you
You with your hair down
You in that ball gown
You on that dance floor
spinning around
Our boys and our girl
My whole god damn world
It must be the sun in my eyes
‘Cause the colors are swirled
There’s always so much change
But something stays the same
I’m still me, and baby, you’re still you
And when that sun does rise
I’ll look you in the eyes
And realize that this is how we do
I used to think that home was just a place
When I think of it, I only see your face
I’m reminded of the things I always knew
Home ain’t a house, or town, or a state
No, home is a heart, and it’s hope, and it’s faith
Home is you
Home is you
Home is you

JUST WANT YOU
Aaron & Ofelia Munoz / Jay Clementi
I know I’m tough to love sometimes
In my DNA it’s MIA just to say I’ll compromise
I know it ain't right
I know it feels all about me
I just want us without the fuss learn to trust
And find our peace, put our hearts at ease
I just want you and all your crazy beautiful ways
Finally get to wake up in your arms everyday
Want you to tell me baby, it’ll be alright
And reach for me in the middle of the night
I’ve missed your love, I miss your love
You know I like to speak my mind
It’s hard for me to be second fiddle,
I can be a little much sometime
But baby I’m on your side
You think I want all the things that shine
But honey you’re all wrong, everything I want
Don’t cost a dime
Can we be alright?
I just want you and all your crazy beautiful ways
Finally get to wake up in your arms everyday
Want you to tell me baby, it’ll be alright
And reach for me in the middle of the night
I’ve missed your love, I miss your love
It's been a wild ride but we've come this far
You've got to know you still have my heart
I just want you and all your crazy beautiful ways
Finally get to wake up in your arms everyday
Want you to tell me baby, it’ll be alright
And reach for me in the middle of the night
I need your love
Baby, I miss your love

CASH BABY
Roger & Tammy Baker / Terry Radigan
It was a Friday night, I worked a double shift
Dead as a dog and just as stiff
My girlfriends threw me in the car
And we headed down to Cash’s Bar
Still in my nurse's uniform
Up walks this man in beautiful form
Nothing but trouble I’ve seen it before
So keep on walking pal there’s the door
He tried to buy me a nickel beer
I said, Jim Beam. Ain't no Blue Ribbon here
He said, I recognize that Texas twang
And a Texas girl is just my thang
He said, I'm from Texas, too
I said, Is that right? Show me the proof
Pulls out his wallet and what do I see
Mr. Pretend Texas got a Kentucky ID
Threw up my hands said wait a minute Hon
Lord, please tell me you’re twenty-one
He said I’m just a few months shy
This license belongs to that other guy
I thought this poor boy has got no game
So I gave him the wrong number
And my "trouble" name
He reached out and shook my hand
Pleasure to meet you Roxanne
Lights come up, closed down the bar
Gather up the girls, head to the car
Designated driver, they throw me the key
Turn it over the tanks on E
Stomped back inside looking for a phone
Young buck says, Is something wrong?
Got a car full of girls drunk off their ass
Not a penny between us and out of gas
He reached in his pocket
Tried to give me a twenty
Shook my head said
I’m ain't taking your money
Oh yes you are, and he put it in my hand
And time stopped, my heart dropped
Oh, damn, I think I’m going to marry this man
And thanks to that twenty
We’re celebrating our thirty
And that’s the ballad of Gigi and Bubbles
Down and dirty

TORN
Luigi & Kim Mendoza / Jay Clementi
Faithfully always messes me up
I feel guilty when I hear it, I think about our love
I think about all the time that we spent apart
I think about the pain and strain I put on your heart
Torn between two lives
Torn between five hearts
You and the girls and the part of me that goes dark
Torn between who I am, and who I pretend to be
I’m needing the healing only you can bring
Because I’m torn
You get what’s left over, and that’s not good enough
You see the man I can’t see, you deserve all my love
I need to say goodbye, to the demons chasing me
The warrior and the whiskey, to set us all free I’m--
Torn between two lives
Torn between five hearts
You and the girls and the part of me that goes dark
Torn between who I am, and who I pretend to be
I’m needing the healing only you can bring
Because I’m torn
I'll do anything for this family of yours and mine
I’ll get put back together with your patience and time
Torn between two lives
Torn between five hearts
You and the girls and the part of me that goes dark
Torn between who I am, and who I pretend to be
I’m needing the healing only you can bring
Because I’m torn
Because I’m torn

ONLY UP, FROM HERE
Seth Pollack & Susan Williams / Marshall Altman
It’s been dark ‘round here, for a couple years
But the sun is coming through the blinds
Yeah, we’ve pushed and pulled, through hope and fear
Together on the mountain we climb, we climb
Through the bouts of pain, her light remains
Carving color in our minds
As the path unfolds, like threads of gold
Guiding us, how it shines, it shines
Shines, like a fire through a cold night
Shines, like a dream ‘bout to take flight
Shines, and it’s strong and it’s warm, aint’ it clear?
Yeah, it’s only up from here
When the rain comes down, it’s a hurricane
Hold my hand and we’ll be fine
Yeah, 'cause through it all, our love remains,
A promise, true and kind
Shines, like a fire through a cold night
Shines, like a dream ‘bout to take flight
Shines, and it’s strong and it’s warm, ain't it clear?
Yeah, it’s only up from here

BREATHE WITH ME
Tammy and Roger Baker / Courtney and David Silva / Sue Williams and Seth Pollack / Ofelia and Aaron Munoz / Kim and Luigi Mendoza / Jay Clementi / Terry Radigan / Marshall Altman
Calm inside the chaos
Quiet in the storm
I’m trying to find my way back home
To where it’s safe, to where it's warm
I see you standing on the outside
The moon is close and full
You been pushing on a door
And baby all you need to do is--
Breathe it in
Pull me in
Breathe it out
Pull me closer
Breathe it in
Don't let go
Breathe it out
This ain’t over
Just breathe with me
Baby I can see you
Can’t you hear our song
Baby it’s been playing
It’s been playing all along
I’ve been running circles
Lost out in the haze
Even though it’s what I know
I’m still stuck in this maze
Breathe it in
Pull me in
Breathe it out
Pull me closer
Breathe it in
Don't let go
Breathe it out
This ain’t over
Just breathe with me
Just breathe with me
