Garage sales are for those with it all I concede
But can't resist paying a dollar for stuff they don't need
Strange way of thinking
Maybe too much drinking
There's just no accounting for some peoples' greed...

it was christmas day
home i did stay
i could see
under the christmas tree
there was i key
on a boxs
it was part of the lot
and was for me
i pull it out no doudt
it was a special gift
for a stiff without paying a fee
UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE...

Love is unselfish; love seeks to do the Father's will 
There's no boasting in love, it has secret identity
Love is the Good Samaritan paying a stranger's bill.
Jesus Christ is Love; He forgave even His enemy.

We are saddened again by death
Where Muslim Terrorists have killed
Innocent people in Barcelona run down
This still goes on and on without stop
We need to close down this sadness 
For the pain will remain forever for innocence
And ordinary people paying a butcher's bill.

I wake up
in the morning,
when i'm alive.

I sleep at night,
when i'm alive,
and happy in my heart.

But who keeps my joy,
and keeps my life?
Is it my gun?

No, No, No!
There's a certain man,
powerful of all,
the owner of everything.

He change my life,
without paying a coin,
and he get me what to eat
in time of pain....

My world was dark and I was lost
I was paying a long hard cost
But then you came along
Giving my world a new song
You made my heart stutter
All my words are just barely muttered
I don't know how I was still alive
Now you make it easy to survive
You hold me close and keep me warm
You'll protect me from all of life's storms
And when I feel alone I think of that kiss
And how when I'm with you, I am in bliss...

I met the devil on a Friday night.
We danced to the phat bari sax.
Smoke choked out any words I could say,
Paying a heavy tax.

The sky was maroon with contemptible past,
The sound iridescently smooth.
The trombone a-swung to the rhythm of us,
Burning a hole in the truth.

I met the devil on a Friday night,
Then woke up on Saturday lone.
I wish; I made this whole story up.
There's no one to call on the phone....

Mama said
Don't drink and drive 
So I drank and didn't drive 
They offered a beer 
I took a soda 
They offer a drive 
I took a walk

Flash lights was all I saw
Being hit like a log 
I did the crime 
Mama said not to do
Loud siren 
Faint cries 
Now I pay the price for 
A  debt I did not owe


Mama said 
Don't drink and drive
They drank and drove
And I am stuck in a wheelchair
Paying a price for their beer

People in a hurry. Just can't wait
Leave earlier or just be late.
Passing on double yellow lines.
Running stop signs while texting 
on the phone. That's just wrong.

Speeding down the highway
while cutting people off.
Horns blowing, temperatures
rise. I can't believe my eyes. All
these lives at risk everyday. 

Take it easy. Obey the law. 
Pull over and park to make
that call. It's not worth losing
a life or paying a fine. Be
thoughtful, careful and kind.

Drive Safe...
