Country 

Trammell & Carter 

On A Country Day

Well I was sitting out on the porch

And I heard a big boom in the barn

Well I walked over to see what it was

And I’ll be darn, the bull pierced the door with his horn

Then I got mad, and I grabbed my whip

And that ole bull started to kick

Then smack right on my chest

Thank God I was wearing my lucky vest

I got so mad at that bull

I just started to lose my cool

So I got in my truck, and went down to the store

And I got my bags, and put them on the back of the truck

Then I seen this girl that I was falling for

So I put my bags on the back of the truck

Then went right back in the store

And my oh my to my surprise

She turned around with her purty blue eyes

Then all that anger I had about that ole bull

Slipped right outta my mind

I approached her and asked how are you

And then she replied

Im am doing just fine how about you

I said I would be better if it wasn’t for my ole stubborn bull

She said the one that was giving you trouble last week

Then I gasp and my heart skipped a few beats

I said I’m surprised you even remember me

Then she said how could I forget you silly man

Then I smiled and asked would you please give me a hand

Come on down to the house and help me with this bull

She said sure why not you look like you could use a hand

We pulled up at the barn and that ole bull,

He was piercing the door with his horn  

Then she looked at me and said just let him be

I said okay I guess that would work

How about me and you go down to Apple Bee’s

She said sure why not as long as you pay

Then I smiled and said of course ”Oh my oh my what a country day.”

Country To Me

Country To Me

The sounds on the radio

are sweet and southern

A mothers soothing voice and a daddys loving hand

You learn life lessons and love stories too

A broken hearted cowboy and a sad girl too

Long crazy nights with the ones you love

Some hearts are broken and some are loved

Stories from the heart and stories from the book

We all relate to the songs they wrote

from George Strait to Thomas Rhett

We all love the music that soothes our souls.

Country Jacob Stahmer

As we stepped in, into the old bar,

Watching ‘er as that old sway, made my foot start,

it was a’tappin, to that sweet voice,

as she made that, sweet melody,

we saw her, and heard that sweet noise,

and as that foot tapped, what i felt in me,

was a feelin’ down deep inside,

made me feel, like “walkin’ after midnight,”

She cried, “ i stopped to see a weeping willow”,

and as I heard “ crying on his pillow”,

it brought a tear to the edge of my eye,

She started singing once more,

she sounded so sweet, but at the same time a feelin’ of love,

as if her broken heart, had once been torn,

she almost sounded, as if that country voice was going above,

to a loved one that we cannot see, a person in her heart forever more,

to a loved one that we could never be, someone in her arms she’ll forever adore,

we watched that country legend, as her breath let off them slow releases,

of that one song that just made her, as if she was “falling to pieces,”

Now as that lady with her high heels, and her sparklin’ dress,

stepped down from that stage, her voice just becoming less and less,

As i watched her chest, go from a rise to a fall,

she simply raised her hand, and a cheer came from us all,

we took a glimpse that is once more,

as she took a step and stepped out the door,

that was the last i ever heard, of that wonder, that magic, that lovely dressless soul,

I simply grabbed my glass, I walked to the door, and that was the last angel i’d ever known,

Pop

Upbeat, fast tempo

Mouthing quietly to the song

Always getting the lyrics wrong

The electric beat taking over me

Body starts to swing, feet starts tapping

Soon you’ll catch me dancing

And prancing from sun to moon

The voice on the other side, so powerful and full of Glee

Notes belted with passion

I can only imagine

It is as if I can break free

Zoned out in the world where there is only me

Love songs and breakup songs

releasing the built up feelings

Crying or smiling because of meaning

Hopelessly in love with the artists

Can’t be serious about my work

their songs are stuck on replay in my head

English assignment long forgotten

Can’t even sleep in my bed

The tune is overwhelming

And I’m losing my mind

I’m loving this music

Their voice is one of a kind

The volume goes up

Singing doesn’t stop

“This is the part where I break free,
‘cuz I can’t resist it no more.

This is the part where I break free,
‘cuz I can’t resist it no more”

Late into the night
Up until the sunlight

The song finally fades away

Thank God ! My phone has replay!

Looks like the voice is here to stay.

R&B

Slow and sweet melody

Flowing through my ears

Some bring happiness and some bring tears

Swaying from side to side

Or lying down somewhere

The music seeming as though it cares

Speaking my life in it’s lyrics

As if it knows I was gone hear it

The notes that explain my story

Slow and sweet melody

Flowing through my ears

Some bring happiness and some bring tears

  

Carrying out my faith

It soothes my soul

The lyrics that hit that spot

And sends shivers like I’m cold

The rap that speaks to every young heart

Changed many people right from the start

Filled with sounds that make most groove

As a whole album fills the room

Slow and sweet melody

Flowing through my ears

Some bring happiness and some bring tears

It stimulates the mind

Strums the strings of your heart

And makes your soul glow

Most are mean but many are kind

The way the bass play in the background

The way the guitar strings a melody

The way the drummer beats the drum

Slow and sweet melody

Flowing through my ears

Some bring happiness and some bring tears

Saxophones, trumpets, and sometimes trombones

Sounds like it came straight from the great unknown
