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

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
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

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

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

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.
