This morning was a bright one Girl I can't explain Those good skies, they were washing all the years away Yeah, there's something good about today that I can't quite put my finger on This high wire I've been walking, girl it's left me dry But I've heard the word, and the seasons are turning and so am I Yeah, there's something good about today that I can't quite put my finger on I used to spend my money on a girl uptown She said that I was lucky just to have her around I spent so many sorry nights all by myself As those grey clouds dumped enough to drown away the little luck I had For the first time in years they were gone This morning, oh the sunshine, girl I can't explain Those good good skies they were washing all the tears away Yeah, there's something good about today that I can't quite put my finger on I used to spend my money on a girl uptown She said that I was lucky just to have her around I spent so many sorry nights all by myself As those grey clouds dumped enough to drown away the little luck I had For the first time in years they were gone Everyone's gotta know, gotta know Yeah everyone's gotta know I finally found something good I finally found something good I finally found something good Words and Music By Casey Shea.

Good Man 05:08
lyrics

Mama told me when I was young Don’t mess with fire Always finish what you’ve begun And don’t deal with liars Ooooh Don’t walk too tall, don’t talk too wise Don’t make dreams your master She’s been gone for three years now I can still hear her calling When the black clouds come wash over you Will you stand tall and strong, or blame it on luck When your soul’s put on trial before the judge Will you say you were a good man? Last night as I laid down to sleep I saw the ghost of my mama By my bedside praying for me She said son, your time is coming But when the black clouds come wash over you Will you stand tall and strong, or blame it on luck When your soul’s put on trial before the judge Will you say you were a good man? When the black clouds come wash over you Will you stand tall and strong, or blame it on luck When your soul’s put on trial before the judge Will you say you were a good man? Were you a good man? Are you a good man? Words and Music By Casey Shea. All Rights Reserved.

Kingdom come and kingdom go Elephants and a puff of snow Park the car, turn the radio off It's all the songs they want you to know Oh oh Oh oh oh oh Sitting in the sunshine having such a good time So sorry we have to go Walking on the pavement Living off the government Tomorrow they're gonna know, oh oh Misery loves company Won't you sit and have a drink with me Lazy eye gone wandering And left me feeling just a little bit empty Oh Oh oh oh oh Sitting in the sunshine having such a good time So sorry we have to go Walking through the graveyard Cutting down the flowers Tomorrow they're gonna grow, oh oh Kingdom come and kingdom go Elephants and a puff of snow Park the car, turn the radio off It's all the songs they want you to know Oh oh Oh oh oh oh oooooh, oooh, ooooh Words and Music By Casey Shea.

Quinzy Howzin 04:20
lyrics

Quinzy Howzin is American And drives a foreign car He knows he'll never starve And he's only seventeen Quinzy's father spends most his days In a spacious room In the tallest building in town Business is in bloom Everyone thinks that they are alone Today is your big day Quinzy has a friend in Sara Parks Who never has known love Her parents died when she was three And moved in with and B. Auntie B. is mean Has five cats, and sleeps during the days A mother of two runaways Unwed at early age Everyone thinks that they are alone Today is your big day Everyone thinks that they are alone Today is your big day Then there's little Phillip down the street Whose daddy works so hard To give up one fifth of his checks To his unfaithful ex And all the children want is To be loved and wanted And all the grownups wants is To feel loved and wanted Everyone thinks that they are alone Today is your big day Everyone thinks they're the only one To be loved and wanted Everyone thinks that they are alone You are not alone Words and Music By Casey Shea.

She Doesn't Mean A Thing 03:48

Bubblegum knots in my hair Might never untangle Just a kid with a sweet tooth for More than I can handle She doesn’t mean a thing Crossword puzzles, magazines I lose everything I need Silver chains and paper planes Flying through the air She doesn’t mean a thing Cavities and bedtime stories They always put me to sleep I’ve been under for so long Just trying to pull myself out Cause she doesn’t mean a thing Crossword puzzles, magazines I lose everything I need Silver chains and paper planes Flying through the air She doesn’t mean a thing I lose everything I need She doesn’t mean a thing Words and Music By Casey Shea.

Strawberry Country Lullabye 03:45
lyrics

Strawberry country The milk is so sweet You’ll always find me Here at your feet But now it’s time to say goodnight Strawberry country lullabye Sleep now my baby A winter is near The fields begin dying But momma’s still here But now we have to say goodnight Strawberry country lullabye Finding yourself in a candy colored world Losing count of the diamonds in the midnight sky Soldiers on the hillside with hearts made of glass Disappearing into green plastic bags Goose stepping ragdolls empty their shells And the children line up on the bank, lost in their spell Finding yourself in a candy colored world Losing count of the diamonds in the midnight sky Soldiers on the hillside with hearts made of glass Disappearing into green plastic bags Goose stepping ragdolls ringing their bells The children line up on the bank, lost in Strawberry country The ocean’s gone still Turn out the lights Good night sweet angel Remember mother’s watchful eye Strawberry country lullabye Words and Music By Casey Shea.

Love is here to stay No matter what people say And love will last for good Treat others like you should Cause you never know Where you might go And no one can say what will happen today So love is the only way Love is here to stay No matter what people say And love will last for good Treat others like you should Cause you never know Where you might go And no one can say what will happen today So love is the only way Yeah it’s just another corner we can turn Come on come on gather round Cause if you grow your hair And if you hold your neighbor And if you stay in bed They may call you crazy And they may want your head And they may try to change you But you know, you know You know it’s up to you You know it’s up to you Yeah, come on come on Come on come on gather round Come on come on gather round Cause love is here to stay No matter what people say Words and Music By Casey Shea and Matthew Raitz.
