Country King

(Raymond McNamara)

Just a song about my life, simple and kind. Humble but in search of the American dream for my children my woman and myself.

Well he pulls that old truck over and prays it'll start again

He changes a tire from an old lady ignoring his aching back and weary mind

When she tries to pay him even tho he needs the cash he says Mam how could I charge for that 
 
There goes a country king 
One day he'll get his part of the American Dream
Ride on country king 
Ride on country king

The years of work and worry show on his brow, and time has taken his hands he can't pick out a tune anymore
He's let her down so many times he can't believe she still believes in him and his dreams 
But when they lay down at night she smiles softly as he goes straight to sleep and whispers
Go on Country King
One day we will have our share of the American Dream 
Ride on Country King
Ride on Country King

Then one day like a magical thing, the man's words ring true across the land of the free
And finally a Country King gets his share of the American Dream

Same sweet girl smiles and says
Ride on Country King
Ride on Country King.

Cancerous consequences

By Jessie Doyle

This is a song I wrote about the tobacco industry and the complete ignorance of the dangers of smoking tobacco products just to fit in and be a part of what is considered trendy, hip and cool as with is with most things in our society people tend to go with the herd and are terrified of being judged or different that they would rather consume lethal poisons than be the individual they really are on the inside and who they really want to be.

Into The Dark

By Emily Lister

These lyrics are about facing and overcoming adversity. About relying on yourself and using your survival instinct. Finding a place to escape to where you feel safe and unthreatened. It’s also about battling your inner conscience, the voice inside that may sometimes tell you things you don’t like to hear a voice I associate with depression. But ultimately trying to find a way through to the other side.
