AMOR FATI
Peter and Laurie Lautzenheiser / Gary Burr
You can climb a fence, find the code
Drive five miles down a gravel road
Looking for a path to redemption
It’s hard to say but the cold truth is
We can grow or just exist
The choice is up to you and me
Oh, how lucky can we be?
It’s easy to say “I’m done”
But it’s better to say “I’ll try”
It’s a journey that’s never over
There’s still a few tears to cry
I’ve got a little more grow in’ in me
Maybe it’s not too late
Amor fati. Amor fati
Learn to love your fate
Four out of five years alone
Then you brought a soldier home
And had to learn that I was not your enemy
We didn’t talk, we didn’t laugh
How does love survive like that?
We fought and found ways to care
Now we’re here and we’re not there
It’s easy to say “I’m done”
But it’s better to say “I’ll try”
It’s a journey that’s never over
There’s still a few tears to cry
I’ve got a little more grow in’ in me
Maybe it’s not too late
Amor fati. Amor fati
Learn to love your fate

We're Still Alright

WE'RE STILL ALRIGHT
Jonelle and Terrance McKinnon / Erin Enderlin
He was an asshole when it all first started
Both been through some shit, both fresh on the market
First date sleeping on the couch didn’t last long
And ever since then our lives have been a country song
Like I told him he would he fall in love with me
We got married on a Harley on Freemont street
The sky keeps falling, we just pick up the pieces
On a bad day we go grab some hot wings and pizzas
And we laugh at the bumps on this road we call life
When everything goes wrong we’re still right
Our kind of love is a hard fought trust
It’s been damn hard, but it’s forever or bust
Cause we fit together like a pair of Dog Patch bandits
One day will pack it up and move to Montana
Livestock and dogs and our own little fort
Where we can shoot our guns and piss off the porch
The sky keeps falling, we just pick up the pieces
On a bad day we go grab some hot wings and pizzas
And we laugh at the bumps on this road we call life
When everything goes wrong we’re still right
Even we get arrested we make the judge smile
Yea, when everything goes wrong we’re still right
We could use a new tractor and trash compactor
So if this song goes #1 that’ll be alright

OUR GOOD DAYS
Brenda Hickey and Kyle Klein / Gary Burr
I want to see the smile your grandma used to love
I want you to have the life that you’ve been dreaming of
I am grateful that I didn’t walk away
Cause your good days are my good days
I want you in my life, I want you around
To build something real, put roots in the ground
You said I could run…I told you I’ll stay, cause,
Your good days are my good days
Once you make up your mind…step aside
There’s nothing you’re not willing to try
This is not the life you were meant to live
There is so much more love you were meant to give
You can be in Tucson or magical Peru
Every step you take brings me closer to you
Your healing has no borders and that’s okay
Your good days are my good days
Once you make up your mind…step aside
There’s nothing you’re not willing to try
This is not the life you were meant to live
There is so much more love you were meant to give
I want to see the smile your grandma used to love
I want you to have the life that you’ve been dreaming of
I am grateful that I didn’t walk away
Cause your good days are my good days

IT WORKS FOR US
Ryan Little and Gillian Holt / Danny Myrick
Some folks say we’re weird
We like to think we’re just unique
Know what we went through to get here
Don’t give a fuck what they think
We’ve been through a lot of the same shit
We know we’re stronger for it
Can’t teach your wife how to shoot
Can’t teach your husband how to heal
Let each other hold their own water
That’s our own deal
We fucking love each other
Find the beauty in scars and tattoos
That might not work for you
But that works for us
She’s bomb dog metaphors
He’s all bullets and guns
She’s kicked open closed doors
He’s got demons on the run
They see the weight of our years
We live the blood sweat and tears
Can’t teach your wife how to shoot
Can’t teach your husband how to heal
Let each other hold their own water
That’s our own deal
We fucking love each other
Find the beauty in scars and tattoos
That might not work for you
But that works for us
See it on paper we don’t make much sense
But we’ve created our own happiness
Can’t teach your wife how to shoot
Can’t teach your husband how to heal
Let each other hold their own water
That’s our own deal
We fucking love each other
Find the beauty in scars and tattoos
That might not work for you
But That Works For Us

FIGHTING FOR US
David and Melanie Coughenour / Danny Myrick
Crazy earl’s bar on a girls night
Red shirt blue jeans both a little tight
That’s where it all started
He didn’t dance but he asked her anyway
Like magic the next song the band played
Was “I Don’t Dance”
But they did and just that like
We became a blended family
That’s the kind of crazy that we choose to be
It’s a brand new battlefield
The struggles are really real
Hearts get wounded but we never give up
The bullets of angry words
They lead to the deepest hurts
But we’re believing in the power of love
We’re surviving cause we’re fighting for us
A long year of hell in Kabul
Nights getting wasted on a barstool
Trying to mask all his problems
Meanwhile keep the home in balance
Keep making sense of the madness
Then lose her job lose her grip
Til she don’t know who she is
It’s a brand new battlefield
The struggles are really real
Hearts get wounded but we never give up
The bullets of angry words
They lead to the deepest hurts
But we’re believing in the power of love
We’re surviving cause we’re fighting for us
No matter how crazy things get
Even if it all goes wrong
Long as I feel your hand in mine
I know I’m home
It’s a brand new battlefield
The struggles are really real
Hearts get wounded but we never give up
The bullets of angry words
They lead to the deepest hurts
But we’re believing in the power of love
We’re surviving cause we’re Fighting For Us
Yeah baby let’s keep Fighting For Us

Belly Laugh

BELLY LAUGH
Kev The Allstar and Marie Enriquez / Erin Enderlin
I met you on the stage, and you glittered just like a star
Right away I saw your light shining through, I saw the shape of you heart
And I don’t think I’ve left your side, since I fell for you absolutely
Baby I think that you and me, we got a love like a Hallmark movie
I wanna jump when it scares me to death
I wanna live life breath by breath
I wanna see you smile
When I look in your eyes and I wanna make you belly laugh
Ask me to jump in the car, baby I’ll grab my bags
I love going anywhere with you, from Hawaii to a tumble weed ranch
Life and death, black and white, now we turn it into a joke
Cause we don’t think you can laugh too loud, no that’s the part we love the most
I wanna jump when it scares me to death
I wanna live life breath by breath
I wanna see you smile
When I look in your eyes, I wanna make you belly laugh
I wanna make you belly laugh
We’re standing here on the stage, together making change
Side by side walking through this life, in the sunshine and the rain
I wanna jump when it scares me to death
I wanna live life breath by breath
I wanna see you smile
When I look in your eyes, I wanna make you belly laugh
I wanna make you belly laugh

NOW WHAT
Kev The Allstar and Marie Enriquez / Melanie and David Coughenour / Kyle Klein and Brenda Hickey / Laurie and Peter Lautzenheiser / Ryan Little and Gillian Holt / Jonelle and Terrance McKinnon / Gary Burr / Erin Enderlin / Danny Myrick
We felt a spark, so we fanned the flame
Cause maybe tomorrow we won’t be the same
4, 7, 8 that’s a good way to change
To make that connection from my heart to my brain, but
Now what, now what
What do we do with this new day we’ve got
When the trash has been dumped, and the battles all fought
We ask ourselves now what
Lay the pain down, purging the past
Walking together down a new path
There’s no finish line, no end in sight
It’s journey we’re on for the rest of our life
Now what, now what
What do we do with this new day we’ve got
When the trash has been dumped, and the battles all fought
We ask ourselves now what
We’ve got a North Star to guide us back home
If we just remember we’re never alone
Now what, now what
What do we do with this new day we’ve got
When the trash has been dumped, and the battles all fought
We ask ourselves now what
We ask ourselves why not

PERFECT TIMING
Kev The Allstar and Marie Enriquez / Melanie and David Coughenour / Kyle Klein and Brenda Hickey / Laurie and Peter Lautzenheiser / Ryan Little and Gillian Holt / Jonelle and Terrance McKinnon / Gary Burr / Erin Enderlin / Danny Myrick
Feels like Perfect Timing for rebuilding this foundation
Perfect Timing for a judgment free vacation
A world of open windows
Where we feel safe and free
Feels like perfect timing to find out who we can be
We have a common history
Only warriors can tell
We all hit rock bottom
We’ve all been through hell
Bags full of darkness
We dropped them at the door
On this new path we don’t need em anymore
Feels like perfect timing for rebuilding this foundation
Perfect Timing for a judgment free vacation
A world of Open windows
Where we feel safe and free
Feels like Perfect Timing to find out who we can be
I don’t have to suffer
In silence all alone
I’ve got my loved ones with me
Now that I’ve come home
I found a heart connection that I thought was gone
I found the love to turn the light back on
Feels like Perfect Timing for rebuilding this foundation
Perfect Timing for a judgment free vacation
A world of Open windows
Where we feel safe and free
Feels like perfect timing to find out who we can be
Yes it’s Perfect Timing to find out who we can be
I’m learning to be present
I’m breathing the fresh air
I’m seeing life with brand new eyes
I’ve found that I do care
Feels like Perfect Timing for rebuilding this foundation
Perfect Timing for a judgment free vacation
A world of Open windows
Where we feel safe and free
Feels like perfect timing to find out who we can be
Yes it’s Perfect Timing to find out who we can be
