SHADOWS OF MY MIND

Lyrics by Chuck Klein, © 2019

 Melded to the shadows of my mind

I’ll always see her dancing

On a soft summer breeze in the cyclone of winter

In the shadows of my mind

 

Way back in … high-school-you-wrote

Of the books … I-could-tote

I just wanted … to-hold-hands

While we listened … to-juke-box-bands

 

If there was … a-love-forever-store

I’d put you … in-my-shopping-cart

‘cuz you’ll always be … forever-in-my-heart

If tomorrow is never … I’ll-love-you-forever

 

Melded to the shadows of my mind

I’ll always see her dancing

On a soft summer breeze in the cyclone of winter

In the shadows of my mind

 

Was it in … the-bed-of-my-truck

That we so … trusted-to-luck

I really do hope … it’s-a-boy

‘cuz I’ve already … picked-out-a-toy

 

We were … two-of-a-kind

So lucky … were-we-to-find

In the … senti-men-tal-portions

Of the … shadows-of-our-mind

 

Life can be … cruel- and-torturous 

Even for … the-very-virtuous

I know … we’ll-be-together-again

When we … get-to-the-other- side

 

Melded to the shadows of my mind

I’ll always see her dancing

On a soft summer breeze in the cyclone of winter

In the shadows of my mind

 

On the other side … I-know-we’ll-see

It’ll just be … you-and-me

Dancing on a soft summer breeze

In the shadows of our minds

 

Melded to the shadows of my mind

I’ll always see her dancing

On a soft summer breeze in the cyclone of winter

In the shadows of my mind

LIFE DON'T GET NO BETTER 

Lyrics by Chuck Klein, © 2019

 

Building dams down by the crick 

And houses up in the trees 

Life Just Don’t Get No Better 

Until my pappy give me a lick 

Forgettin’ ta say ma’am and please

 

Puppy love with guardian angels above 

Teens and cars with three carbs 

And that first kiss 

Life Don’t Get No Better Than This

 

We had three boys, one didn’t survive 

David Scott is in a better place than us 

Thus, onto a farm where again was bliss 

Life Don’t Get No Better Than This

 

Too many I’m sorrys and woes 

And for sale the farm goes 

Single and in the big city 

I found my soul mate and fate echoed again, 

Life Just Don’t Get No Better

 

This pretty miss once we dated 

In high school I told her I’d call  

It took 30 years but there were no tears. 

Life Don’t Get No Better Than This

 

Our children’s children 

Build dams down by the crick 

And houses out in the trees as we reminisce 

Life Just Don’t Get No Better Than This

I'VE BEEN DOWN THIS ROAD BEFORE

Lyrics by Chuck Klein, © 2019

 

I’ve been down this road before 

I’ve been down this road before

But you ain’t gonna find me on the floor

‘cuz I’ve been down this road before

 

Saw the future in her blue eyes

Back before I could hear the lies

My heart was hurtin’ that’s for certain

I just wasn’t wise

 

My best friend was the warnin’

When I caught ‘em this mornin’

Doin’ what she said was only mine

Though for her I’ll always pine

 

I’ve been down this road before

I’ve been down this road before

But you ain’t gonna find me on the floor

‘cuz I’ve been down this road before

 

Now she says she wants another fling

That’ll make my pumper sing

That she loves me through and thru

Oh, but those lyin’ eyes of blue

 

I’ve been down this road before

I’ve been down this road before

But you ain’t gonna find me on the floor

‘cuz I’ve been down this road before

 

I had way Too many shots of Jack

And maybe a little smack

Found me on the floor

Ain’t goin’ down this road no more

 

I’ve been in a haze for days

‘cept I’m over her clever ways

Met a lady with green eyes

And I know they’ll be no lies

 

I’ve been down this road before

But now I’m up off the floor

And I ain’t goin’ down no more.
