"What I Did Right" by Sons of the Desert (Drew Womack/Sonny LeMaire)
1st Verse
I have my heroes, but no one knows their names
They never asked for recognition, they've never wanted fame
My Granddad fought the second World War
When he was just eighteen
He spent four months as a prisoner
To give me the American dream
In my eyes, he's everything, all I hope to be
And I won't forget that day he said he was proud of me
Chorus
(So) I'll take that one day and figure out what I did right
I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
(Yeah) I'll take that one day and figure out what I did right
(So) I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
(What I did right)
2nd Verse
I have my good friends, they have a place inside my heart
But my best friend, well, she holds the biggest part
She finds the good in me
She knows just what it takes
And she loves the man in me
Through all of my mistakes
In my eyes she's everything, everything to me
And I won't forget that day she said
'You're all I need, you're all I need'
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
And as I hold my newborn baby
To give her comfort while she cries
In this moment I feel helpless
'Til she looks into my eyes
Her tears subside
Tag Chorus
I'll take this one day and figure out what I did right
I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
(Yeah) I'll take this one day and figure out what I did right
I'll do it the same way for the rest of my life
(Chorus Out)
"Blue Money" by Sons of the Desert (Greg Barnhill/Jim Daddario)
1st Verse
Julie was a girl of modest means
Used to be a high school beauty queen
Wound up on the wrong end of a dream
And said never again
Started livin' life for the bottom line
Married her a man well past his prime
Forty million dollars and not much time now
She's payin' for the perfect crime on
Chorus
Blue, blue money
Though it spends the same
It'll buy you everything but love
Oh blue, blue money
When the devil gets your soul
All that's left is a heartache made of gold
2nd Verse
He bought her a house in the Hollywood hills
There were parties, and the room was filled with
Stars fallin' from the usual thrills, yeah
It was fun for a while
But there's a prison in paradise
They never tell you when they throw the rice
That pretty mirrors don't look so nice
When you're standin' on the desperate side of
(Repeat Chorus)
3rd Verse
It's a Saturday night again
The same faces come tricklin' in
She's got a lover, but he ain't no friend
He's just someone to hold
She feels alone as she steps outside
Stares out at the Valley lights
Pours a drink, and she starts to cry
She's got it all, and she can't get by on
(Chorus Out)
"Change" by Sons of the Desert (Craig Wiseman/Mark Selby)
1st Verse
Billy's standin' out by a west Texas highway
With his thumb in the mornin' air
He's spent eighteen summers in the dust of Odessa
Never gettin' nowhere
But he's got him a misspelled cardboard of Albuquerque
Standin' in the breakdown lane
He ain't lookin' for a ride so much as he's lookin' for
Chorus
A change
A little somethin' different for cryin' out loud
Yeah, a change
Even for the worse would be better somehow
Sometimes you just cross that line
Where everything is more of the same
When it's do or die, step aside, turn the tide
Somethin's gotta change
2nd Verse
Now Betty's walkin' out of a tattoo parlor
She's got curlers in her hair
She still can't believe she had a little red rose
Put right on her derriere
And she's still got to pick up that red lace teddy
And a bottle of pink champagne
Well, her husband don't know it
But tonight, well, he's in for a
(Repeat Chorus)
3rd Verse
Now who of us hasn't been headin' home Friday
Sittin' at some traffic light
Wonderin' what would happen if we hung a left
Instead of takin' that faithful ol' right
It's the human condition
Part of us wishes that life wouldn't get so tame
And we all know better than thinkin' that's ever gonna
Final Chorus
Change
A little somethin' different for cryin' out loud
Yeah, a change
Even for the worse would be better somehow
Lookin' for a change (change)
For a change (ooh)
Lookin' for a change (change)
