Bible Thumpers Blues

[Chords: | D | Cadd9 | G | D |]
I’m pretty much a Christian, but I got some Doubts
A Laundry List of questions, need to figure out
Some things don’t make, a whole lot of sense
Like Adam and Eve, and the book of Genesis
The best explanation, that I could find
Is Jesus the Missing Years, according to Prine
[Chords: | Am | C | G | Am |]
Bible Thumpers Blues, and Yesterday’s News
Send mixed messages, that I Can’t use
Saturday’s Sinners, become Sunday’s Saints
Like a Chameleon, True Colors Change
The more they change, the more I stay the same
Everybody needs, somebody to blame
[Chords: | D | Cadd9 | G | D |]
Book Binders will sell you, their path to heaven
And how your transgressions, will be forgiven
One third of true believers, bet on Jesus Christ
That’s thirty percent, that prayed they guessed right
[Chords: | Am | C | G | Am |]
Bible Thumpers Blues, and Yesterday’s News
Send mixed messages, that I Can’t use
Saturday’s Sinners, become Sunday’s Saints

The more they change, the more I stay the same
Everybody needs, somebody to blame
[Chords: | D7 | Fmaj7 | C | D7|]
No Longer in Focus, Dreams in the Rearview
Couldn’t find Answers, watching Donahue
Changed the channel, turned on Doctor Phil
Keep It Simple Stupid, Keep it Real
[Chords: | Am | C | G | Am |]
Bible Thumpers Blues, and Yesterday’s News
Send mixed messages, that I Can’t use

The more they change, the more I stay the same
Everybody needs, somebody to blame

Back Woods Girl In love
Submitted: September 21, 2026 at 3:46 pm Composed/performed by: Bill Fritz, williamfritzsr@gmail.com Copyright: 2026
I wrote this as a tribute to Dolly Parton. I wrote the lyrics and Suno did Vocal and music with my parameters.
(Back Woods Girl in Love)
(Intro)
What can I say?……………I’m just a back woods girl in love
You walk past me at work every day without a word or glance
And I pray for help from above
But it’s very clear with you I have no chance
(Chorus)
I know how to shoot a gun
Bait a trap, snare my dinner
Cook outdoors and have some fun
But with you at my side I’d be a winner
(Verse 1)
Every day I wear my best togs hoping you’ll look my way
But……I may as well be in the backwoods all alone
You just pass by day after day
When will you talk to me or call me on your phone?
(Chorus)
I know how to shoot a gun
Bait a trap, snare my dinner
Cook outdoors and have some fun
But with you at my side I’d be a winner
(Verse 2)
Today you past so close to me I could smell your cologne
And I heard you say to her “It looks like it’s over between us”
Then you actually looked at me as you put away your phone
You stopped, said hello, smiled and made a little fuss
(Chorus)
I know how to shoot a gun
Bait a trap, snare my dinner
Cook outdoors and have some fun
But with you at my side I’d be a winner
(Verse 3)
The next day you asked me on a date and sent me candy
This backwoods girl was shocked and a little scared
But everything turned out just dandy
We married and have some wonderful memories we shared
(Outro)
I know how to shoot a gun
Bait a trap, snare my dinner
Cook outdoors and have some fun
But with you at my side I’m now a winner
What can I say ……………I’m just a back woods girl in love…….
I’m just a back woods girl in love

Small Talk and Martinis
Submitted: September 21, 2026 at 6:27 pm Composed/performed by: Sheryl Bohlander, sherylbohlander@gmail.com Copyright: 2026
VERSE 1
What if love isn’t meant to be found
But rather it waits for your guard to come down?
To set aside your history and look around at what might be….
What if finding love’s nothing more than serendipity?
VERSE 2
What if love has always been around
But you couldn’t see with your eyes looking down
The walls you built protected your heart
What if finding love means tearing them apart?
PRE-CHORUS
What if love’s been right here all along?
Guess I’ve gone about it … all wrong.
CHORUS
Small talk and martinis, hours spent alone with you.
I opened my eyes, that’s all I had to do …
Call it what you will, doesn’t matter to me.
I found my love, as it was meant to be.
BRIDGE
The invitation came, it said don’t be late.
Cocktails at six, dinner at eight.
I wasn’t looking for love, but then, neither was he.
Quiet conversation, we talked ‘til three.
Notes on a napkin, dreams written in ink
A spilled martini, simply met with a wink.
VERSE 3
What if finding love was part of a plan
Two strangers moved by God’s quiet hand?
A gentle push, the pathway clear
Hmmm … maybe that’s what brought you here.
PRE-CHORUS
What if love’s been right here all along?
Guess I’ve gone about it … all wrong.
CHORUS
Small talk and martinis, hours spent just with you.
I opened my eyes, it’s all I had to do …
Call it what you will, doesn’t matter to me.
I found my love, as it was meant to be.
Hmmm …
Small talk and martinis … is how I found you.
Doug, I have to leave the zoom call by 6:45, if I can’t be on the early side of the reviews, I can wait until next month. I have a Musiversal meeting to do a kickstart with this song and thought I’d get some feedback from MAS ahead of time … I have a beginning melody, which I did use with SUNO, and luckily SUNO completed it … but the final melody will likely be slightly different, so my focus for the review is on the lyrics. I know the back story … but does the story resonate or come across without knowing that???

Make It Up As We Go Along

Make It Up As We Go Along
by Mark Grim May 2026
I get the feeling we’ve been trying too hard
Thinkin’ too much, talkin’ too loud.
Let’s turn it down from eleven to one.
And make it up as we go along
I’ve had enough of this “reach for the stars”.
Givin’ our best isn’t getting’ us far. Let’s
give it a rest. It’s time to move on
and make it up as we go along. Well
Chorus:
somewhere I heard when the time is right/ ya let
go of the past but ya keep it in sight. / There’s a
whole lot of truth that’s hard to deny a
-bout to keep us talkin’ far into the night
instrumental verse:
Let’s talk it over with a bottle of wine. Or
maybe a few an’ get sloppy and blind.
You show me yours an’ I’ll show you mine./ We’ll
misbehave as if nothin’ was wrong /an’
make it up as we go along
make it up as we go along
We’ll make it up as we
We’ll make it up as we
We’ll make it up as we go along
the final revision of this song!

Navy Man

You’re A Navy Man ©2026 Doug Millaway
You run sail like the wind
You float like a feather
You’re a sight for sore eyes
Welcome home, brother
We’ve missed your smile
We really missed your story
I’d listen all day
Never have any worries
You’re a navy man
Your life is so blue
When it comes to the ocean
It’s a part of you
Time to head back to sea
To protect us all
It’s where you have to be
You hear the blue winds call
You sail like the wind
You float like a feather
You’re a sight for sore eyes
Welcome home, brother
Through the storms you’ve had to roam
We’ve been waiting standing near
The road sea may lead you far from home
But our love will keep you here
You’re a navy man
Your life is so blue
When it comes to the ocean
It’s a part of you
You’re a navy man
Your life is so blue
When it comes to the ocean
It’s a part of you
You’re a navy man
I made a couple of minor edits on the track. Demo vocal for now.

This Side Of Tomorrow
Submitted: September 23, 2026 at 10:27 am Composed/performed by: Charles Betz, char@charlestbetz.com Copyright: 2025
I WAS THE CONTENDER,
UP ON THE LEADERBOARD.
ALWAYS RUNNING FASTER
CHASING MY REWARD.
“MAKE THE QUOTA,” “GET THE BONUS,”
“WINNERS ALWAYS WIN”
PROFITING IN EMPTY COIN
WHILE HOLLOWED OUT WITHIN
BEFORE I RETURN,
BEFORE I GO BACK,
BEFORE I WAKE UP AGAIN
I’VE GOT TO SHARE WHAT I LEARNED
ON THE OTHER SIDE WHEN
I WAS REMINDED
OUR TIME WE JUST BORROW
AND DOLLARS WON’T REPAY THAT DEBT
ON THIS SIDE OF TOMORROW
ALWAYS LOCKED ON WHAT’S AHEAD
NEVER NOW, OR HERE.
A HORSE THAT PULLS UNTIL IT’S DEAD
AND NO-ONE SHEDS A TEAR
“WORK HARD, KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN,
STAY IN YOUR LANE.
IGNORE THE DAISIES BREAKING THROUGH
THE PAVEMENT IN THE RAIN”
BEFORE I RETURN,
BEFORE I GO BACK,
BEFORE I WAKE UP AGAIN
I’LL KICK MY SHOES OFF,
DANCE ‘N SING, INHALE, AND THEN
REACH OUT TO MY NEIGHBOR
CAUGHT UP IN SORROW
OFFERING MY SERVICE HERE ON
THIS SIDE OF TOMORROW
TEENAGERS SING “I WANT” SONGS
ADVENTURE AND ROMANCE
I WANT A LIFE OF MY OWN INTENTION,
I WANT A BRAND NEW CHANCE
TAKE MY CHANCE …
TO SING LIKE THE NIGHTINGALE
SHARING MY MUSIC AFAR! OH,
I STILL HAVE MOUNTAINS OF WORK TO DO,
LOVE TO GIVE, LIFE TO LIVE,
ON THIS SIDE,
ON THIS SIDE OF TOMORROW
From the musical, Five Minutes on the Low Road, about a woman (Tanya) who has a near-death experience and returns transformed. This song is near the end, as she is reflecting on her journey. See www.5minlowroad.com.

Sometimes 2026
Terry Kennedy-Lares
Sometimes I’d like to be someone, who has no morals,
and do anything I want, with no mental quarrels,
Look people in the eye, tell them every lie,
then I’d say goodbye and fly away, fly away.
Sometimes I’d like to live so free, like I was immortal,
buzzing round like a worker bee, rest on my laurels
give everything a try, never question why,
then I’d say goodbye and fly away, fly away.
Pre- Bridge
How do I become that special kind of guy,
who looks life right in the eye and doesn’t fly away
Bridge
Living in this world of trouble, doesn’t make much sense,
Living in a social bubble is just a cheap defense
No, I can’t let go, I can’t let go, of the things inside my head,
No, I can’t let go, I can’t let go, of the things that people said,
Where do you find the patience, Where do you find the peace,
Living life in abeyance, won’t help the pain to cease.
Sometimes I’d like to be someone, who you’d think was normal,
Pretending like I’m having fun, not acting formal,
Look people in the eye, never ever cry,
then I’d say goodbye and fly away, fly away.
Most times I have to be myself, and I’m not normal,
I’m just like anyone else, in this mortal coil,
I do what I can, to help my fellow man,
then I say goodbye and fly away, fly away.
I really don’t know what i’m doing with this song. It’s in early stages of production just enough to make it sound palitable.
