Making History Seventh grade sweethearts Fell in love and fell apart And I signed up and saw the world Still loving my hometown girl I came back and found my best friend And we’ve been together ever since. The rest of history We’ve been making history all this time Making babies, making memories And loving our life Two kids, four dogs, two cats and a truck Sometimes we just can’t believe our luck Still making history The history of you and me. Don’t take much to make us happy Hittin’ the road and going camping Four wheelers and dirt bikes Checking out those Northern Lights Just glad to be together Knowing love can really last forever. The rest of history We’ve been making history all this time Making babies, making memories And loving our life Two kids, four dogs, two cats and a truck Sometimes we just can’t believe our luck Still making history The history of you and me. The history of you and me Making history Making babies, making memories And loving our life Everything somehow working out right.

Changes and Choices The choices you don’t make Keep coming back around Though the days have come and gone Those pages have turned And the lessons learned Till more changes come along. Changes and choices Never easy to understand Changes and choices Doing the best we can. We deal with it all and move on Enjoy the ride we’re on With changes and choices Changes and choices. Sometimes it’s a bumpy ride Still it’s always you and me We keep it between the lines Trusting our destiny Don’t matter who drives, you or me We gonna ride it all out into eternity. Changes and choices Never easy to understand Changes and choices Doing the best we can. We deal with it all and move on Enjoy the ride we’re on All the changes and choices Changes and choices. It’s gonna be what it’s gonna be Long as it’s always you and me We’ll keep making those changes and choices Changes and choices Gonna ride it all out We gonna ride it all out Ride it on out.

Home Hotel 03:06
Home Hotel I’ve been everywhere All around the world Seen all the famous places And all the pretty girls You’re never off my mind Through all the zones and times Everything I do I’m working my way back to you. I keep checking in to the home hotel Get the laundry done, spend the night Steal a kiss, catch the next flight When you coming back baby to the home hotel When you checkin’ back in, to the home hotel. Pikes Peak to Alaska Hawaii to El Paso New York City to New Mexico Korea to Clarksville Anywhere Indiana Africa to Afghanistan Iraq Oman Pakistan Boston Florida Italy Spain France Kuwait Let me explain There’s a lot I forgot There’s a whole lot I’ve forgotten. I keep checking in to the home hotel Get the laundry done, spend the night Steal a kiss, catch the next flight I get back fast as I can to the home hotel Checkin’ out, checkin’ in, to the home hotel. Been to church with Jimmy Carter Been to the beach with the Obamas Hollywood with Biden Beantown with Mitt U.N. with Clinton Keep on talking Bill, keep on talking Bill Keep on talking. I’m checking in to the home hotel Get the laundry done, spend the night Steal a kiss, catch the next flight I get back fast as I can to the home hotel Checkin’ out, checkin’ in, to the home hotel. Checkin’ out, checkin’ in, to the home hotel.

Baile del Amor Don’t you know how much I love you? Don’t you feel it when we dance? The love between us is a fire I am weak in your hands Let our melody remind you You know the music understands Love is holding us together We’re much better when we dance. We won’t think about tomorrow And we’ll leave the past behind Just be present in this moment I am yours and you are mine My black dress with roses Tells you all you need to know I’ll be in your arms forever We’ll never let each other go. Don’t you know how much I love you? Don’t you feel it when we dance? The love between us is a fire I am weak in your hands Let our melody remind you You know the music understands Love is holding us together We’re much better when we dance. Tu no sabes quanto te amo? No los sientes quando bailamos? Nuestro amores es una llama Me pongo debil en tus manos Que la melodia nos recuerde Que la musica nos sostiene Nuestro amor es una guia Somos felices al baillar. Don’t you know how much I love you? Don’t you feel it when we dance? The love between us is a fire I am weak in your hands Let our melody remind you You know the music understands Love is holding us together We’re much better when we dance. Love is holding us together We’re much better when we dance.

Whiskey and Rum He’s not as chill as he once was She’s got that sassy bite He’s still a pretty good actor Somehow they make it alright She says she used to be feisty But he never complained Yeah she was pretty explosive Now she’s a little more sane. It’s a mystery, you and me When it’s all said and done Opposites attract you see Just like whiskey and rum. He likes his drinks with umbrellas She takes hers in a glass He still thinks he’s the sweet one That always makes her laugh They say she calls him Big Hueso But nobody knows why I’ll take your word if you say so Who cares, it works every time. It’s a mystery, you and me When it’s all said and done Opposites attract you see Just like whiskey and rum. She’s a truck driver’s daughter He’s from down in L.A. Two kindred spirits together And that’s how they’re gonna stay. They’re Havana daydreaming Down in the Florida Keys Spending all their kids money Getting high on the breeze. It’s a mystery, you and me When it’s all said and done Opposites attract you see Just like whiskey and rum.

Thankful 02:32
Thankful Thankful, thankful Thankful for that old brown dog You know I love that silly song Thankful for our family and our friends Thankful that we have the chance to find ourselves again and be… Thankful, thankful Thankful for the cold beer I’m so glad you brought me here Thankful that some things come to an end Thankful that we have the chance to find ourselves again. We lose pieces of ourselves Trying to serve somebody else The kids are grown now it’s just you and me Gratitude will change your attitude Time to take a breath And reconnect and be… Thankful, Thankful Thankful just to clear my head Right here in this empty nest Thankful for whatever may come next. Thankful that we have the chance to find ourselves again and be… Thankful, Thankful, Thankful, Thankful.

Up in the Air Spinning ‘round the sun Way out here in space Trying to read the message Written on his face He’s her steady rock She’s his butterfly She’s always out there dreaming He wants to learn to fly. All they have is love Love ain’t always fair We’re all just satellites And it’s all up in the air. She is at her best When she’s in the trees He loves it when he’s sailing Out there on a pair of skis No matter what you do Change is gonna come They started out as two Now they have a son. All we have is love Love ain’t always fair Trying to leave the past behind It’s all up in the air. He’s a man of fewer words Anyone can see She wears her emotions Right there on her sleeve Working through the changes Standing side by side No matter matter what is thrown at them They’ll take it all in stride. All they have is love Love is always there Out into the great unknown It’s all up in the air- way up there It’s all up in the air- and it’s alright It’s all up in the air.

Common Ground Sometimes it feels like I’m the only one I hear you talking and I know I’m not alone It’s never easy showing vulnerability These unspoken bonds are so new to me. Well it’s hard to open up and put yourself out there We’ve moved around so much to meet someone who cares They might not know the difference what you need and what you want And you need a friend, you need a confidant. (Common Ground) things we never talk about (Common Ground) it’s hard to say it out loud (Common Ground) but I feel safe with these friends around We’re standing on common ground. Well, I’ve never lived for me, it’s always for someone else Right now it feels like I can be true to myself I need to find connection with my husband and my kids I don’t wanna have to keep my inner feelings hid. He can hear it in my voice when something is wrong We told our truth and we’ve turned it into song I take it to the heart so hard it hurts me to the core And I don’t want to feel this way anymore. (Common Ground) things we never talk about (Common Ground) cause it’s hard to say it out loud (Common Ground) but I feel safe with these friends around We’re standing on common ground. Well I’m trying to accept the man he has become His only innocence is what we keep at home It’s hard to know the things that he’s been asked to do And everything these wars have put my husband through. (Common Ground) things we never talk about (Common Ground) well it’s hard to say it out loud (Common Ground) but I feel safe with these friends around We’re standing on common ground.
