Moonshiner (Cover Song)

I've been a moonshiner for seventeen long years

I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer

I go to some hollow and set up my still

And if whiskey don't kill me

Then I don't know what will

I go to some barroom and drink with my friends

When the women can't follow and see what I spent

God bless them pretty women

How I wish they was mine

Their breath is as sweet as

The dew on the vine

Let me eat when I'm hungry

Let me drink when I'm dry

Give me dollar when I'm hard up

Religion when I die

The whole world's a bottle

And life's just a dram

When a bottle gets empty

It sure ain't worth a damn

The Best Is Yet to Come (Original Song)

So much more to life than this

Torn and braided on a single iron ship

Cast away among the pieces left to drift

So much more to life than this

So much wear left in these shoes

Makes no difference whether you can stand to lose

I have found that it’s better yet to choose

So much wear left in these shoes

And I ain’t done

I’ve only just begun

And I ain’t done

The best is yet to come

So much time left on the clock

You can beat it but you sure will get a shock

So much time is here but you won’t have to dock

So much time left on the clock

So much skin left in the game

We are here and it’ll always be the same

On forever and forever we’re the same

So much skin left in the game

And I ain’t done

I’ve only just begun

And I ain’t done

The best is yet to come

And I ain’t done

I’ve only just begun

And I ain’t done

The best is yet to come

Shine Your Light (Original Song)

I’ve got friends living in the deep blue sea

But they don’t wanna talk to me

Living outside the grid is getting pretty dim

Living inside is growing old

Getting outside myself is more than I can ask

Staying inside is such a task

Being myself is all that I can do

Won’t you join me too?

Shine your light

It’s all that I can hope for

All that I can wish for

Don’t you think it’s time for us to shine?

I’ve got friends living in the deep blue sea

They all wanna talk to me

Living’s the only way to let the light shine

Won’t you shine on me?

Be yourself now child it’s all that you can do

I’m gonna shine on you

Being myself is all that I can do

Won’t you join me too?

Shine your light

It’s all that I can hope for

All that I can wish for

Don’t you think it’s time for us to shine?

KC's Kids (Original Song)

I remember

The single tape

And how that cassette would play

In the bedroom by the park

In the bedroom

With the brooding crew

We felt like the chosen few

The only ones that mattered, that mattered

Sing your heart out

Play your face off

Blow your brains out

Rip my heart off

It’s a stuck on heart

When the music died

You came back by my side

And played that sound I so admired and desired

I won’t forget you

But if I do

Know that the chosen few

Always remember, remember

Sing your heart out

Play your face off

Blow your brains out

Rip my heart off

It’s a stuck on heart

In the heart shaped box

I’ll put the pieces down

We lost in the frozen ground

That one April morning, we’re still mourning

Melt my ears with the noise

Make it clear for the boys

What you did cannot be repeated, repeated

Sing your heart out

Play your face off

Blow your brains out

Rip my heart off

It’s a stuck on heart

(and now it’s yours)

Father and Daughter (Original Song)

You can stay quiet if you want to

I’m not going to pry

Everyone has a right to silence

No one even needs to know why

But I just wanted to tell you

If you’re afraid you don’t need to be

‘Cause every little thing is gonna be alright

Even if it doesn’t seem to be

Keep your eyes open darling

Look to the sky tonight

With timing, a long view and an end game

Everything….. is gonna be alright

You’ve had a hard go baby

No one even knows how tough

‘Cept you and God and that’s enough honey

No one should have it that rough

Keep smiling when you can ‘cause it’s pretty

I’ll keep my pen in my hand as I write

Tell all the demons to shut the fuck up

As you get your head right tonight

Keep your eyes open darling

Look to the sky tonight

With timing, a long view and an end game

Everything….. is gonna be alright
