Aaron sat on a mostly empty stage
Just him and an old guitar
He was playing his heart out
for all who would listen
people said he’d be a star
he never cared about
doing anything more
than reaching people
to the depths of their heart

Church, Corbett & Cash
I’m jamming to my playlist
People like Church, Corbett & Cash
They put their heart & soul into it all
They wouldn’t settle for trash
I love them for
The trails that they blazed
the blood, the sweat & tears they gave
the songs they wrote & sang
I’ll forever thank them for that
They are the coolest cats

Burned
Jimmy was a one of a kind talent, anyone could see,
Genius w/lyrics & poetry,
but his life was a cautionary tale for the masses
He had what many think of as “success”
but in the end he was burned by his own excesses

Real Cool Cat
There’s a poet named Joey
His talent has made many
Green with envy
They all say:
“I wish I could write like that,
spin a rhyme in no time flat”
That old Joey, even at 73,
He’s still got it, poetic wit
sharp as a tack
On top of that,
he’s just an all around
real cool cat

Overnight Sensation
This is a story, of a girl named Lily
She calls herself “an overnight sensation
-years in the making”
All the miles & the struggles were real
To be able, night after night to reveal
To her fans just how she feels
Pouring everything she’s got into her songs

Labor of Love
When G.C. C. wrote his songs
they were always hits
He just had a knack for it
A beautiful & razor sharp poetic wit
He & music were a perfect fit
Like a hand in custom gloves
For him it was an absolute labor of love

Travis
Travis knew he loved music from an early age
Barely older than a toddler when he first hit a stage,
Every chance he got, the kid would play
Never cared how many dues he had to pay
He was sure he’d succeed one day
He had several good musician friends
Who taught & encouraged him,
Though there were other people
who at first thought he’d crash & burn
Eventually, even their respect he earned
He spent a lot of years working his training ground
Getting ever better, honing his unique sound

Like Gentle Waves Upon A Shore
Eric’s a genius, a maverick,
an old troubadour
With a voice & music so soothing,
like gentle waves upon a shore

Dedicated to one of my favorite musicians
Sparkle
Sharon was a Texas beauty queen
With dreams of acting on stage & screen
She proved she could do it,
that she had the grit that was needed
& a fiery spirit that couldn’t be defeated
She brought her unique spark(le) to every role
Embraced them w/all her heart & soul

Home Town Band
Voices roaring up in outdoor stadium stands
People waving lighters they hold in their hands
Not for someone world famous, man
All the fire & fervor is for a great home town band
Truly known & loved by all of their fans
