Mo’ Better
Amazon Warrior Princess
Run or Fall
Baby Be Nice
I Had Every Intention
Whirlwind
Bad For Me
Love Is Love
Hey Goddess
Bus Driver
Mo’ Better
I look over my shoulders
The lamplight in your eyes
You’re walking away now
You’re saying goodbye
There’s somebody better for you you’re saying
As you walk out the door
But if only I knew what you meant
What I’m saying is I got so much more
chorus:
More better – more stars up in the evening sky
More better – more dancing neath the full moon light
More better – more waking to a pure sunrise
More better – even better when I open my eyes
Open my eyes………….more better
When we were together
You were the sun and the moon
But now that we’ve parted
I got a bigger, better view
chorus
You look over your shoulders
I can’t talk to you now
Cause I got a new journey
I’ll see you around
There’s more to life than I fathomed
I’ve had some rough times of my own
If only you knew what I meant
What I’m saying is I got so much more
chorus
Amazon Warrior Princess (title track to our first CD)
I watched her from across the room,
With her three kids in line since noon.
The man put soup in all their bowls
A few green beans, a crusty roll.
Her step rock-solid, her head held high
They sat down and the meal went by…
I sat down and we started to talk.
She was goin’ to work, they were gonna to walk.
“May I offer you a ride?”
She said, “No, my kids need the exercise.”
She’s a big bad gina who’s in control
And when they walked away I said real low:
You are a goddess
You are an angel
You are a warrior, like an Amazon princess
You are kindness
You fight the good fight
Standing up tall, making it through the long night.
A tribe of women we do not know
Dig in dry dirt for seeds they sow
Carrying water in great big sacks
Across their shoulders and on their backs
To nourish the earth and water the ground
Of their little garden, safe and sound.
Three months later, a harvest feast
Complete with bread and roasted beast.
No hungry mouths for miles around
Their “loaves and fishes” were profound
Jesus did it like a magic show
But these tireless women made a garden grow!
They are goddesses
They are angels
They are warriors, like an Amazon princess
Oh teach me
To fight the good fight
How to knock down walls
And make it through the long night.
(instrumental break)
I’ll tell you what I was lookin’ for
Until I looked inside and found much more
I’ve got big strong arms and a heart full of love
I’ve got a wallet that’s not empty
And grace like a dove
I’ve got food on my table and clothes on my back
When I look at my life – I do not lack.
I am everything I want.
I am everything I need.
I am 32 flavors, a Giant, indeed.
Like Maya says, I’ll cut my own path through
And when I’m done, I’ll come help you.
I am a goddess
I am an angel
I am a warrior – like an Amazon princess.
I work hard
To fight the good fight
Building bridges
And making it through the long night.
Run or Fall
There’s been times in my life
When I thought I knew it all.
I didn’t have to think twice
And I still managed to fall.
Same old stories, same old lies.
You’d think I’d learn better, you’d think I’d wise up to the top.
It’s a long way down, don’t go burning your bridges
or being too proud.
I’ve heard it all along but still I fail to listen.
But still I don’t remember ending up regretting.
I just might discover what’s behind door number one.
Between the stressing the second guessing
open up and have some fun.
So I raise my hand me down your favorite
close the door why were you in the looking glass,
it’s plain to see – I’m still confused about a few more things.
My pockets weighing me down to the bottom.
I’m drowning in my bottoms up up.
Up up and away, up up and away.
This life you cling to is oh such a game.
But you got too much to loser takes all
All or nothing, nothing for all.
In the heat of the moment, you run or you fall,
You run or you fall, you run, you run, you run for it run.
There’s been times in my life
When I thought I knew it all.
I didn’t have to think twice
And I still managed to fall.
Same old stories, same old lies.
You’d think I’d learn better, you’d think I’d rise up to the occasion,
it’s a long way down, don’t go burning your bridges or being too proud.
I heard it all along and still I failed to listen
but still I don’t remember ending up regretting.
The moral of this story is to learn from your mistakes.
Leave behind your doubt and guilt and fear, and give yourself a break.
Your bad habits ensure that you haven’t left your identity behind.
Keep on, bring on, keep on keeping on with a positive mind.
Baby Be Nice
You do me wrong
Then say you’re sorry
It’s happened more than twice
Then I get mad
‘cause you’re treating me bad
Baby, Be Nice
Those words you said
You didn’t mean them
You’d think that I’d get wise
But I hold on, even when love is wrong
Baby, Be Nice
Chorus:
You break my heart, because you can
Gives you some kind of pleasure
If I were smart, I’d find someone
Find someone who would treasure me
You wore me out, now I’m too tired
To take my own advice
So please be kind
‘Cause I’m out of my mind
Baby, Be Nice
Baby, Be Nice
I Had Every Intention
I’m counting somedays maybe one day make it Tuesday
I’m putting off deadlines ignoring the headlines
Hold society at bay
Give into the pressure brought on by stressing
from the things I’ve left undone
Bet I’m not the only one
I had every intention
I should say I had every intention to finish the projects I intended
but left undone they’re only thoughts inside my brain
It takes some action ignoring distractions that throw my off my guard
Always idealistic so optimistic except when it’s time to follow through
It’s easier said than done, don’t I wish I were done – I’ve only begun
But it keeps me wondering wondering
What from here……..what from here
Still caught in the structure follow the pattern
The examples that we’re taught
Ruled by the shoulds, if only I coulds, should nots, the only if I woulds
Procrastinating keep hesitating making excuses left and right
No real relief from my indecisions that keep me guessing bout
Where I ought to go
No discernible outline but it’s a fine line between here and where I’ve been
Don’t wanna go back again….don’t wanna go back…..
But it keeps me wondering wondering
Where from here………where from here
By the time that I decide
I’ll find the worry was unneeded
I”ll make the choices I was supposed to in spite of freakin out
I won’t take for granted cause I acted out of rules that bind with
If I shoulds, if only i coulds, the couldn’ts,
The if I woulds if only I shoulds, the shouldn’ts
Hey I will say I had every intention to finish the projects that I start
But for now I’ll be content to leave things as they are
Whirlwind
Chorus
There’s a whirlwind spinning ’round in my head
your eyes looking deeply as you’re crawling in my bed
Baby, tell me, tell me, tell me what you’re thinking about
I want to know everything about you inside and out.
There’s a whirlwind/spinning round/tell me, tell me, tell me
I saw you dancing
With that bumptious girl
I know you saw me looking
Made my senses whirl
I walked across the floor
Knowing your heat
I wiped the sweat from your neck
And your cheek
Chorus
With your full attention
I led you out the door
Knowing we were going
Where we had not been before
You took me by the hand
I saw it in your eyes
Then we went upstairs
Your passion, my prize
Chorus
(percussion solo)
She told me….
She told me….
I said…
I said…
Then we…
yeah, we…
Chorus
Bad for Me
Bad for Me
Makes me want you more and more
And I don’t know what for
You’re so Bad for Me
Bad for Me
Everyday you make me cry
When all you do is cheat and lie
You’re so bad for me
Chorus:
Mama told me long ago
To lose that one just let it go
But I can’t listen
When you’re kissin’ in my ear
Bad for Me
But I’m so in love with you
I know that it’s good for you
But oh so Bad for Me
Love Is Love
Paige has two mothers, one Mommy, one Mama
While the others are asking why
‘Cause family’s not only mommy and daddy
It takes love and the courage to try
chorus:
‘Cause love makes a family
Love crosses borders
Love has no gender and accepts without orders
‘Cause love is love is love is love
Love is love is love
Love is love……….
Phoebe and Polly are Paige’s twin sisters
Now their family has tripled in size
Born prematurely these babies were nurtured with
Love care and strength, now they thrive
chorus
Determined to give their 3 daughters a quality life
These mothers will strive
To prove to society that love makes a family
Regardless of preference or style
chorus
Hey Goddess
Chorus
Hey, hey, pretty Goddess, do you want to come over to play?
To my house in the woods, maybe you could stay all day
and all night
Hey, hey, Cinderella, are you looking for your shoe?
Come a little closer and slip it on
maybe I’ll marry you!
Chorus
The first time that I saw you
walk into that little bar
I put down both my beers
and picked up my guitar:
and sang, “Honey-Darlin with the big brown eyes
catching my heart and my soul by surprise
let’s climb a mountain and watch the sunrise.”
Chorus
Much to my surprise and delight
you liked my song, and you walked right by
to the furthest pool table
but you caught my eye
and this is what I heard you say:
“Bring some quarters and play me a game
you win this one, I’ll tell you my name
I win, you sing your song again.”
Chorus
You’re on your path and I’m on mine
Two Goddesses together can be so fine
Our journey continues til the end of time
and you can still hear me sing:
“Honey darlin with the big brown eyes
caught my heart and my soul by surprise
we climbed the mountain and watched the sunrise.”
Chorus
Chorus
Bus Driver
Three Hannahs, Two Savannahs and a Haydn and a Kaydn
A Mary with a Catherine and a Catherine with an Ann
I know the names of over sixty something children
Cuz I am the bus driver, bus driver I am
hit it…….
I pick ‘em up very, very, very, very, very early
I take ‘em all to school and drive ‘em safely home
I like it better when I’m driving all alone
When I can tap my feet and shake my head
And make a funky rhyme
When I don’t have to worry bout being on time
chorus:
I am the bus driver, bus driver I am
I am the best one, the best they ever had
I am the bus driver, bus driver I am
I drive a yellow bus, I do the best I can
help………
Two Taylors and two Tylers and an Austin and a Justin
And an Emily, a Natalie, Ashley and Mary Kate
I gotta to tell ‘em all – sit down most everyday
Cuz if I have to pull it over, then it makes us late
chorus
Well there’s parents and there’ s traffic
Not to mention all the noise
The ones that cause the most trouble
Are prepubescent boys
I gotta to tell ‘em how to act right on the bus
Keep your arms inside, don’t hit and do not cuss
chorus
after last chorus:
I am the bus driver I am
I am the bus driver, oi vei
I am the bus driver, what have I done
If you’re looking on the road, I’m number 21
I am the bus driver I am
I am the bus driver, I am the bus driver,
I am the bus driver I AM
