V1
Streets run with anger
Social Media sparks a fight
Streamed on facebook live
Cities burn at night

Someone clings to life
Somewhere someone dies
Seein' her child on TV
A mama starts to cry

Chorus
Flash bang grenades detonate
Tear gas fills the air
Under halo'd street lights
Young kids accept the dare
Charging at Police
Mai Tai cocktail in hand
Shots pierce the night air
Another 2020 last stand

V2
In darkness someone screams
Stray bullets pierce a chest
Another innocent life just lost
In the name of peaceful protest

What is Social Justice?
Doubting many even care
Everyone's gone facebook Live
Another kids' takin' a dare
‬
Chorus
Flash bang grenades detonate
Tear gas fills the air
Under halo'd street lights
Young kids accept the dare
Charging at Police
Mai Tai cocktail in hand
Shots pierce the night air
Another 2020 last stand

Better Over The Hill Than Under It
V1
Buried my friend John on the hill today
Laid asunder- just nature's way
Family and friends convened to cry
Church choir sang "bye -n-bye"

His wife and kids all gathered 'round
Gold velvet coverin' the cold damp ground
Representin' a golden street I suppose
Didnt see Pearly Gates if they closed

Chorus
Words from a preacher on eternal life
No more suffering no more strife
We lowered John 6 feet down to his rest
Paid John's wife my deepest respects
Thought no matter how hard life gets
Better over the hill than under it

V2
Went home alone
Got out of my Sunday best
Still thinkin of John's wife
While I undressed

She did look real pretty
Still young in the face
Wonderin how she'd look
In negligee and lace

Yeah I feel guilty
These thoughts in my head
But Im still livin
While ol John is now dead

Chorus
Words from a preacher on eternal life
No more suffering no more strife
We lowered John 6 feet down to his rest
Paid John's wife my deepest respects
Thought no matter how hard life gets
Better over the hill than under it

Still workin on this

Fair Weather Wife
V1
Much younger when I met her in the spring of '04
Pretty hazel eye blond out on the dance floor
Her Denim jeans were tighter than bark on a tree
Put together like a girl that knew how to please

Danced with a rhythm walked with a sway
Had to make her mine some how some way
Her southern accent sweet as a song
Need to play it cool or I wont last long

Chorus
Married her in June lived high on the hog
Even bought her a fancy lil dog
Later in life when times got tough
Didnt take long til she'd had enough
Took her just a minute to gather up her things
Mostly jewelry, necklace and rings
Where are you now love of my life
My Fair weather wife

V2
Spent nights writin' promises
Tryin to get her back
Wonderin to myself
Why am I doin' that?

I know I cant forgive her
Still I need her in my life
I know she'll leave again
My fair weather wife

Bridge
Still drawn to her like a moth
Gettin singed by her flame
I keep tellin myself
I'm the only one to blame

Chorus
Married her in June lived high on the hog
Even bought her a fancy lil dog
Later in life when times got tough
Didnt take long til she'd had enough
Took her just a minute to gather up her things
Mostly jewelry, necklace and rings
Where are you now love of my life
My Fair weather wife
