WHAT IF THIS IS ALL THERE IS

IN THIS LIGHT

SOMEWHERE A PLACE
©2019 Rj Cowdery / GoosePie Music /BMI

It’s been years since I’ve seen your face
I try not to think about it but sometimes it’s hard to erase
Your stuck inside my brain
Trouble seemed to follow you around
You took some beatings into the arms of another town
Disappearing without a sound
Somewhere a place
Somewhere in time
Two hearts embrace
What was left behind

The boy you didn't raise became a man
He patiently waited for your love come second hand
And now he don’t give a damn
Somedays I wish that I was you
Did you get off easy I doubt if we ever do
With something borrowed something blue

It seems the apple don’t fall too far away
Yes, I know I see him every single day
Your eyes your hands your hair
It’s like you’re standing there
All these years just melt away

WHAT IF THIS IS ALL THERE IS

I keep asking myself this question
Rolling around like a rock in my head
I should be worrying about tomorrow
But I’m stuck in this cloud instead
Gotta figure out where I’m going
Maybe I’m not going anywhere
Are these miles that I drive, lines that I ride
Just a hopeless love affair

What if this is all there is
What if this i all the love I’m ever gonna give
The ladder that I’m on
Standing on try highest rung
That I’m ever gonna stand
What If This Is All There Is

All the blood and the sweat and the crying
Surely my cup is over filled
But I just can’t keep up so I’m counting on luck
To soak up all the good that I spill
I know this might sound crazy
But for me it rings so true
One song at a time is doing me just fine
And who knows I might just pull through

Chorus

Living for now is what I do best, it’s a family mystery
It might take my whole life to get it just right
Before I finally believe…that my life fits perfectly

What if this is all there is….What if this is all there is…What if this is all there is

SECRETS OF MY DREAMS
©2019 Rj Cowdery / GoosePie Music /BMI

In the morning when I cry I think about all that I have given
Think about everything I have, all the sweet and all the sad
When I lie myself to sleep hoping all will be forgiven
And I’ll finally get some peace In the secrets of my dreams

When the day should finally come and I don’t have the will for living
Lay my tired body down let there be singing all around
Sing a song for Ohio don’t forget I love Colorado
All those Rocky Mountain highs, man, it’s almost good to die
In the morning when I cry I think about all that I have given
Think about everything I have, all the good and all the bad

When I lie myself to sleep hoping all will be forgiven
And I’ll finally get some peace In the secrets of my dreams
And I’ll finally get some peace In the secrets of my dreams

BROKEN WHEEL
©2019 Rj Cowdery / GoosePie Music /BMI

It’s the falling down and you can’t get up
Life goes on even though your stuck
Your feet won’t move and your mind won’t heal
Everything’s a wreck, you’re a broken wheel
You told yourself so many times
If it got this bad you’d end it by
Popping of a gun, pushing of a pill
Make a big splash rolling down that hill

You get brave when everybody’s watching
Makes it hard to be yourself
Look around now, nobody’s watching
Do you have the nerve, do you have the nerve to fail?

You were a real fine party girl

Until you lost it all up on the ferris wheel
The sun went down and so did you
Found yourself shaken all black and blue
Is it a sign is it a curse
In the scope of things it might get worse
I don’t know, it’s so hard to say
Maybe next time you’ll find a different way
You know I’ve never been a fan of talking in a song
There’s rhymes and reasons and the everything could just go wrong
But life is a gem it’s a babbling brook
It’s everything you wanted it’s all the things you took for granted
The sky, the pie - the whole nine yards will be gone in one damn blink of an eye
If you’re not careful, if you’re not true…It’ll come back to bite you

DON’T GIVE UP

Baby, won’t you give me one more chance
I’ll take it like a man give me what you got
I promise, I will do everything I can
No one told me to would be like this
I wanna wrap my arms around you give you a kiss
But something else is on your mind

Don’t you give up in this love
Don’t go racing the wind
It will blow oh but we can mend
We’re not broken if we bend

You forgive and you forget
How I busted up this trust with every ounce of regret
When I tip it back and I chug it down
But this time I’m gonna get it right
Locked away those demons deep into this night
I won’t call them anymore

IS THERE TIME
©2019 Rj Cowdery / GoosePie Music /BMI

Is there time for giving is there time for love?
There’s time for just about anything you can think of
There’s time in the morning when the sun is on the rise
Coffee’s in the kitchen - open my eyes

It’s a shame how life gets in the way
Starts taking over like a game I’ve got to play
Like a line drive into a bee hive
Around and round’ in circles now I’m running for my life

Did you hear about the one who got away
Couldn’t take the pressure didn’t want it anyway
There were high hopes hanging from a short rope
Just long enough to strangle any reason to stay
I just don’t know what happened
Time keeps flashing by

If I could only take this moment
Sift between the lines

Heyheyheyheyhey……

SHOTGUN RIDER

I’m a shotgun rider out on this trail
Looky over yonder what’s coming over there
I’m a shotgun rider there ain’t nothing I won’t do
Better watch your back baby
I’m coming to you

Don’t you remember when you took me for a fool
You took me for my money you took everything I knew
Looking for revenge in the shape of a 45
Dead or alive there’s no where to hide
I'm coming for you

It didn’t take too long for the hurt to settle in
I’m a dangerous woman and you’re guilty as sin
I’ve made up my mind so there’s nothing you can do
I’m the judge, I’m the jury, baby

’m the keeper of this truth

I’m a little bit firecracker, little Pillsbury Dough
I find comfort in the silence that often leaves me sad and alone
I am wiser cuz’ I’m older and Ive got the scars to prove it
If you look beyond the surface you just find I’m worth it

Maybe now is not the time to talk about the past
But I sure miss those days of wonder i sure wish they would have lasted
Just a little bit longer just a few more years
Long enough to claim my innocence I hid through all the tears

I used to think I’d save the world with the words that I’d write down
Now my shiny belly Budha on the dashboard’s got a frown
These miles and miles of dreaming wont get me anywhere
Until I press down on the peddle hit the gas get out of here

Here’s hoping I’ll remember just who I am
Not a shadow on the sidewalk not some glitter in the wind
But who knows how fate will have it who know where I belong
When my dust finally settles the stars will be long gone

Here we are, falling stars looking for a place to land
Not really knowing where we’re going holding on best that we can
Like two old birds, mincing words scratching round’ the back yard
Talking life and sacrifice we’re only as strong as our parts

Oh what a journey such a hurry
Let’s slow this whole thing down
Take a back road you and me we’re on our own
Got( gonna) to get lost to get found

What’s old is new like your favorite shoes you haven’t worn in a while
It sure feels good walking around the neighborhood if only forever and a mile
Every time we blink seems like another day is gone
Gone without the chance to figure out where we belong
Here we are in a circle the chasing our tails
I think we’ve finally earned some time to sit back and exhale

I found myself at a wishing well threw in some wishes and I ran like hell
As far away as I could go I think I’m better off if I don't know
I’ve always been a little scared of what’s been hiding inside my head
I can always make this right throw down my guard and step into the light

Possibilities start to unfold when I unlock my secrets open up my soul
With eyes wide open so I can see that in this light I feel differently

Being different well it’s just a sign something i’ve carried all of my life
It does not matter where I go I’m a square peg in a round hole
But I’ll keep throwing down the wishing well and I won’t look back to see where they fell
Keep on running and I hope to see all i gotta do is just be me
Possibilities start to unfold when I unlock my secrets open up my soul
With eyes wide open so I can see That in this light i feel differently
