What a Ride
02:31
|

Lyrics:
What are we afraid of
Death knocking at our door
Is it because we can't remember
That we've all done this before
Why do we keep waiting
When this day is already here
Let's do something wonderful
While we're spinning on this sphere
Chorus
Let's live it up
Let's party down
Let's take everything in stride
Let's explore things
And as we leave this earth
Smile and say, "what a ride!"
What's the point of regrets
It's time to let them go
Deep down inside us
It's something that we know
Repeat chorus

Lyrics:
Always on the sidelines
Never front and center
Reckon I'll bide my time
Dreamin' of some splendor
Always an afterthought
Never your first choice
I think maybe you aught
Start givin' me a voice
Chorus
I'm right here
And better than anyone
I can sure show you
The best way to have fun
Come over for a taste
And I promise it won't be a waste of your time
Bridge
I'll give you a little time
Cause you look so fine
But don't wait too long
Or I'm gone...so gone
Always in the background
Takin' me for granted
Honey if you come round
I'll show you what's been planted

Lyrics:
When Summer Whispered Away
© 2020 Cindy Prince
Those three months I treasure
When warmth surrounded me
It was a love that can't be measured
Those summer days by the sea
We were always together
At the beach in the hot sunshine
Every day it seemed to get better
Those days when you were mine
Chorus
The chill is in the air now
The sky is dull and grey
I guess I'll go on somehow
Since summer has whispered away
Our summer has whispered away
Bridge
Those hot nights of love
Is all I can think of now
We knew you'd go back to school
Our time would not be long
Now my days are far too cruel
And everything seems wrong
The calls were every day at first
Then they came less and less
I don't think I'm over the worst
Because our love was the best
Repeat chorus

Dirt Poor
02:18
|
|||
Lyrics:
I heard it many times
Memories of Mom and Dad
Growing up in the Depression
The dirt poor lives they had
My Dad told of eating possum
When there was nothing else
What they lacked in money
Was love beyond all wealth
Chorus
They were dirt poor
Had a dirt floor
But their blessings sure were many
They all knew
They had to make do
Everyone saving their pennies
They talked of eating cornbread
With milk from their old cow
They talked of no shoes to wear
And fields to weed and plow
Mom wore feed sack dresses
Dad worked for a dollar a day
Despite the trials and tribulations
They wouldn’t have it any other way
Repeat chorus

Attitude
02:59
|
|||
Lyrics:
You say I have an attitude
All I can say is duh
How long did that take to figure out
You say I have issues
Well what's it to ya
I am not one to ever cry or pout
Chorus
Yeah I got an attitude
It's for self preservation
I can really be rude
But it's not my fixation
I'd say you are shrewd
To figure out I have an attitude...attitude
You say I can't connect
I'm too aloof
Is that what you've been told
You say I'm selfish
Do you have proof
Cause you are turning me cold
Repeat chorus
You say I'm hateful
Too uptight
Don't know how to relax
You say I'm snide
Me thinks you are right
Now it's time to get off my back
Repeat chorus

Loose Lips
03:17
|
|||
Lyrics:
They say she has loose lips
They're luscious as can be
They say she always swings her hips
And she'll burn you like a third degree
They say her heart is like a trap
And that all men are just like mice
They say watch it or they'll be a snap
So you had better think twice
Chorus
Don't take sips from loose lips
You'll regret it as soon as you do
She'll tell all your secrets
Yeah, she will tattle on you
Her loose lips are like poison
And you'll never make it through
Stay away from loose lips...loose lips
Bridge
Passionate pink
Ruby red
With her lips
You're better off dead
They say she's more than cunning
She's wicked to the core
It don't matter if she's stunning
She's done this all before
Repeat chorus

No Place For Me to Go
03:29
|
|||
Lyrics:
I feel like I'm walking a tightrope
I feel like I'm going to hit the ground
There isn't anyone there to catch me
And when I land there'll not be a sound
I feel like I'm in a wooden barrel
Going over Niagara Falls
There's nothing there to stop me
There is no one that cares at all
Chorus
Am I truly invisible?
Or is there nothing of me to show?
I'm disappearing as I write this
There's no place for me to go
No place for me to go
I feel like I'm running through fire
Or in another century I've drowned
There's no sign of me anywhere
Not one piece of me can be found
I feel like this is my destiny
Though I cannot understand why
No one is there to care about me
But now is the time to say goodbye
Repeat chorus

Lyrics:
When life is uncertain
And feels like a burden
Please don't lose hope
When nights are too long
Know that you're strong
And that you can cope
Your ancestors before you
Would try to implore you
Yes, they hear you cry
They had such hard lives
Figured how to survive
And they're still nearby
Chorus
All throughout time
There's been sorrow and grief
But it is my belief
That we're not alone
All throughout history
There's been trials and misery
But our souls have always been known
Yes, our souls have always been known
Bridge
When it's darker than dark
Remember there's a spark
Hoping to light the way
They buried loved ones
Tried not to succumb
Found strength in prayer
They kept going forward
Kept pushing onward
With such burdens to bear
