Love lies and dirty Dishes (A Caswell/A Penkow)
Intro
You stand in the kitchen, asking you where you’ve been?
You say nowhere special catching up with an old friend
You thought you fooled me but I think I should think agin
You flash your sunshine smile but the clouds are rolling in
Chorus
Love lies and dirty dishes
Time flies when you’re having fun
Smart enough to know what this is
Sweet lies rolling off your tongue
Cold beer on a Sunday morning
I’m Smoking a cigarette
Love, lies and dirty dishes
Can we call this over yet
Verse 2
I don’t know what I was a thinking but now it all seems clear
It sure took lot of secrets to get from there to here
What’s that there on your cheek don’t say it’s a tear
If you’re looking for your one true love you won’t find it here
Chorus
Love lies and dirty dishes
Time flies when you’re having fun
Smart enough to know what this is
Sweet lies rolling off your tongue
Cold beer on a Sunday morning
I’m Smoking a cigarette
Love, lies and dirty dishes
Can we call this over yet
Bridge
I know what you did
So don’t treat me like a kid
What you put online stays online
You messaged the wrong guy this time
Chorus
Love lies and dirty dishes
Time flies when you’re having fun
Smart enough to know what this is
Sweet lies rolling off your tongue
Cold beer on a Sunday morning
I’m Smoking a cigarette
Love, lies and dirty dishes
Can we call this over yet
Love, lies and dirty dishes
Can we call this over yet

FALLEN SNOW v4
1st Verse
Don’t let them tear you down
That’s what you said to me
When no one else was around
And I was down on my knees
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need the world to see
Who I’m trying so hard to be
As long as you’re here by my side
And still believe in me
Chorus
I’m walking through this town alone
Covered in fresh fallen snow
You may be far but I feel you close
Shining light through the shadows
And its all I’ve ever known
2nd Verse
And in my darkest hour
During my time of need
When the cracks appear beneath my feet
I feel your hands reaching out to me
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need the world to see
Who I’m destined to be
As long as you’re here by my side
That’s all I’ll ever need
Chorus
I’m walking through this town alone
Covered in fresh fallen snow
You may be far but I feel you close
Shining light through the shadows
And its all I’ve ever known
Bridge
I’m standing in front of an avalanche
Scattered dreams, endless rejection
No pounding heart or adrenaline rush
it’s the calmest I’ve ever been
Chorus
I’m walking through this town alone
Covered in fresh fallen snow
You may be far but I feel you close
Shining light through the shadows
And its all I’ve ever known
Shining light through the shadows
and you’re all I’ve ever known
Yeah, it’s all I’ve ever known
Because you’re all I’ve ever known
It’s all I’ve ever known

Fireflies - SONG 35 for 2019 5090 (c) (Christine M Kerr and Andrew Penkow)
Verse 1
I can’t undo what I did
I can only say I’m sorry
Wanna to beg for forgiveness, but I
I don’t blame you for moving on
I think you’re still angry
would have done the same myself
what I was thinking
Or maybe I did, I’m too headstrong
Chorus
I’m wishing for fireflies
To remember happier times
Where everything was simple and free
Wishing that you still loved me
Verse 2
But baby we had something good
I know I screwed it up
Ruined something beautiful
Will you let me start all over a Again
If I right my wrongs
Would you let me back in?
If you want me to go,
Say the word I’ll take it on the chin
Chorus
I’m wishing for fireflies
To remember happier times
Where everything was simple and free
Wishing that you still loved me
Bridge
What I’d give for a new tomorrow
My Life these days is far too hollow
Chorus
(QUIET)
I’m wishing for firefliesAm
To remember happier times
(BUILD)
Where everything was simple and free
Wishing that you still loved me
Wishing that you still loved me
I’m wishing for fireflies
I’m wishing for fireflies

Lyrics
I know there's pain (I know there's pain)
Why do you lock yourself up in these chains? (These chains)
No one can change your life except for you
Don't ever let anyone step all over you
Just open your heart and your mind (Mmm)
Is it really fair to feel, this way inside? (Woah)
Some day somebody's gonna make you want to turn around and say goodbye
Until then, baby, are you going to let 'em hold you down and make you cry?
Don't you know? Don't you know, things can change
Things'll go your way
If you Hold On for one more day
Can you Hold On for one more day?
Things'll go your way
Hold On for one more day
You could sustain (You could sustain)
Hm, or are you comfortable with the pain?
You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness (No, baby)
You got yourself into your own mess (Ooh)
Lettin' your worries pass you by (Lettin' your worries pass you by)
Baby, don't you think it's worth your time
To change your mind? (No, no)
Some day somebody's gonna make you want to turn around and say goodbye
Until then, baby, are you going to let 'em hold you down and make you cry?
Don't you know? Don't you know, things can change
Things'll go your way
If you Hold On for one more day
Can you Hold On for one more day?
Things'll go your way (Oh, things'll go your way)
Hold On for one more day
I know that there is pain, but you
Hold On for one more day, and ya
Break free from the chains
Yeah I know that there is pain, but you
Hold On for one more day, and ya
Break free, break from the chains
Some day somebody's gonna make you want to turn around and say goodbye (and say goodbye)
Until then, baby, are you going to let 'em hold you down and make you cry?
Don't you know? Don't you know, things can change (Know)
Things'll go your way
If you Hold On for one more day, yeah
If you Hold On
Don't you know, things could change
Things could go your way
If you Hold On for one more day
Can you Hold On
Can you Hold On
Mmm, can you Hold On, baby
Won't you tell me now
Hold On for one more day, 'cause
It's gonna go your way
Don't you know, things could change
Things could go your way
If you Hold On for one more day, yeah
Can't you change it this time
Make up your mind
Hold On, Hold On
Baby Hold On

1993
(A Caswell/A Penkow)
Intro
Take me back to 1993
to that old willow tree
Verse 1
Feels like I’ve got lost in it all again
My heart is so heavy, mind’s in a spin
I often wonder will I ever be enough
Do the dreams still matter when times get tough
I’m back, chasing in it all again
Caught up in the same hype, Got lost in the bright lights,
Chorus
Take me back to 1993
Making plans underneath that willow tree
The roots are strong for a country boy like me
Take me back to 1993
Verse
I remember when we lived for Friday night
Me and the boys with our name up in lights
Brothers in arms we were gonna make it big
They made their choices for their wives and their kids
Here’s me, chasing it all again
Believing the same hype still caught in the bright lights
Chorus
Take me back to 1993
Making plans underneath that willow tree
The roots are strong for a country boy like me
Take me back to 1993
The roots are strong for a country boy like me
Take me back to 1993
Take me back to 1993
Making plans underneath that willow tree
The roots are strong for a country boy like me
Take me back to 1993
The roots are strong for a country boy like me
Take me back to 1993
Take me back to 1993

The one That Got Away (Andy Penkow)
Verse 1
I’m driving down this lonely highway The sun is hiding in my review
I wondering do you ever think of me When he’s lying next to you
I don’t know why but I sometimes think about you One to many hundred times
What gives you the right to cloud up my mind
I thought I left you behind

Dose he known that I was the one
I’m the one that got away
Now if you want to find me
I’m be Driving down this lonely highway The one that got away
Verse 2
Steering out across the ocean
I See the waves crashing in
Remember laughing as we walled on along the sand Touching my hand on your skin
Bridge
Dose he know I once loved you That was our home before it was his The life that we once knew
Before our light all when dim
Chorus
Dose he known that I was the one
I’m the one that got away
Now if you want to find me
I’m be Driving down this lonely highway The one that got away
Dose he known that I was the one
I’m the one that got away
Now if you want to find me
I’m be Driving down this lonely highway The one that got away

I’ve got no money
All I’ve got is the old guitar

Will this road ever end

Walking Away
Time 4/4 Tempo 70 Key C
Intro |C
Verse 1
|C |Em
The machinery shed is silent, the tractor lies in wait
|C |Em
The only sound that echoes is the creaking of the gate
|F |C
The fences need repairing, the wires are hanging loose
|F |Am |G
The bare and dusty paddocks have nothing left to lose
|C |Em
He tells himself he’s done his best to hold on through this drought |C |Em
Taking cattle on the road so they wouldn’t go without
|F |C
No matter what he says or does, or how hard he tries
|F |Am |G
His efforts come to nothing, you can see it in his eyes
Chorus:
|C |Am
The sun beats down relentless, the soil is cracked and hard
|C |G |Am
There’s no more cattle shuffling in the yard
|C |Am
The farmer knows he has no choice, he’s beaten and he’s scarred |C |G |C
And etched upon his face is a broken heart
Verse 2
|C |Em
The For Sale sign stands so rigid, a mark of another loss |C |Em
The ghostly gums are silent, the final line is crossed
|F |C
Where is he to go now, when the soil is in his blood
|F |Am |C |G
He’s lived it all from drought and dust to fire and drenching flood
Chorus:
|C |Am
The sun beats down relentless, the soil is cracked and hard
|C |G |Am
There’s no more cattle shuffling in the yard
|C |Am
The farmer knows he has no choice, he’s beaten and he’s scarred |C |G |C
And etched upon his face is a broken heart

There’s no more cattle shuffling in the yard
