A Life of Its Own by David Stumph Verse 1: Things don’t always go as you plan You do the best you can You go through life go find your way And meet some kind of plan My mind was set to live life alone Let the music fill my soul You came along and I realized Life can, have a mind of its own Chorus: To be alone has advantages You might not understand But relationships can find you And grab you by the hand Without a warning, and without a clue You can love again! Verse 2: My music Comes from my heart I try to make it my own Life can take unexpected turns And send you packing back home. You turned my head, you turned me around, You opened up my mind Now I see, there’s a way to blend Harmonies of every kind Chorus: Going solo has advantages You might not understand Collaborations can find you And take you by the hand Without a warning, and without a clue You’re on the road again! Verse 3: Things don’t always go as you plan You do the best you can You go through life to find your way And meet some kind of plan My mind was set to live life alone Let the music fill my soul Then you came along and I realized Life can have a mind of its own Chorus: To be together has advantages It’s easy to understand Surround your life with harmonies And brings meaning to what you do Without a warning, and without a clue You see another view.

Big Brown Eyes by David Stumph Verse#1: [Met a little girl, about a month ago Had big brown eyes, that wouldn't let go She had a hold, a hold on me Didn't ever want her to set me free I fell hard and I fell deep I fell so far I could not sleep Chorus-A: Now every time I close my eyes I see her face and those big brown eyes And I the morning when I see the sun rise I here her voice and I break down and cry Verse #2: Woke up this morning to cloudy skys No sun shining, no stars in my eyes No moon light, to show me the way I couldn't find the light of day I looked around and she was gone It was her time to be movin’ on Chorus B: Now I can't forget her, can't get her, out of my mind And I keep dreamin’, keep believin’ she gonna be mine Chorus-A: Now every time I close my eyes I see her face and those big brown eyes And I the morning when I see the sun rise I here her voice and I break down and cry Verse #3: I must be crazy, must be sick in the head I keep thinkin’ ‘bout the things she said She said she’d always be my girl Sent my head spinning in a whirl Now that she gone, I can't go on I just sit here and sing this song Chorus B: Now I can't forget her, can't get her, out of my mind And I keep dreamin’, keep believin’ she gonna be mine Chorus B: Now I can't forget her, can't get her, out of my mind And I keep dreamin’, keep believin’ she gonna be mine

Better World By David Stumph Verse 1: Woke up to a beautiful day Living in the USA The sun is shining on my face And there’s hope among the human race But everywhere you look There’s an asterisk in the book And they want to leave us in disgrace Verse 2: But what troubles me today Is what standing in the way We’ve got division and we’ve got hate That just won’t seem to go away It’s time we settle done And take a look around And try to find a better way Chorus: If there’s going to be a change It won’t come from the top It’s gonna have to come from you and me You know we’re better than that And with a tip of the hat We’re standing for humanity Verse 3: Charlottesville is in every town And Sandy Hook is still unbound And leadership just can’t be found They only want to drag us down All they can see I what matters to thee And the rest of us just aren’t around Chorus: If there’s going to be a change It won’t come from the top It’s gonna have to come from you and me You know we’re better than that And with a tip of the hat We’re standing for humanity Verse 4: And It makes me sad to see What’s becoming of our Mother Earth As we strip away her dignity And line our pockets with all she’s worth The future will hold Pockets lined with gold And living with hypocrisy. Chorus: If there’s going to be a change It won’t come from the top It’s got to come from you and me You know we’re better than that And with a tip of the hat We’re standing firm for humanity Verse 5: But what troubles me today Lining in the U.S.A. We’ve got division and we’ve got hate That just won’t seem to go away It’s time we settle done And take a look around And try to find a better way It’s time we settle done And take a look around And try to find a better way

Triple ADD Blues (Advances Aging Attention Deficit Disorder Blues) Verse 1: I set out this morning To clean up my kitchen Put away some dishes And an old oven mitten From the corner of my eye I spied An empty dog food dish Reached for his food, but grabbed A can of tuna fish I thought, hmmm, Must be time for lunch I mixed up some grub and sat down To have a munch Chorus: Ooo it sucks to get old Things don’t go in straight lines, any more Your mind wonders, so I’ve been told And memories blur, but It’ll get done In due time I got the ADD, triple ADD blues! I got the ADD, triple ADD blues! Verse 2: Walking my dog and Planning the rest of my day How bout some grocery shopping Then got bills to pay Got home from walking Opened the frigerator door Stood there a wonderin’ What I opened the refrigerator for Retraced my steps and realized I just wanted a snack Went back and grabbed an entire 6-pack Thought about my grandkids Should arrange for some FaceTime Then was distracted By that feeling of nap time again Chorus: So it sucks to get old Things don’t go in straight lines, any more Your mind wonders, so I’ve been told And memories blur, but It’ll get done In due time I got the ADD, triple ADD blues! I got the ADD, triple ADD blues! Verse 3: It all comes back around I’m back in my kitchen Still have work to do, and there’s No point in bitchin’ My dog lets me know, Without hesitation His dish is still empty, And he... Needs his libation The bills on the table Call out for attention So I Grabbed my checkbook And, oh, Oh, did I mention... Chorus: Ooo it sucks to get old Things don’t go in straight lines any more Your mind wonders, so I’ve been told And memories blur, but It’ll get done In due time I got the ADD, Triple ADD blues! I got the ADD, Triple ADD blues! SPOKEN: Thought I had a way To end the song Just can’t seem to remember right now Kind of goes in circles don’t it? Just keeps coming back around Like this chord progression Just keeps coming back around Maybe we should just fade it out Hmmm, yah... that should work, Let’s fade it out Hear we go - fading away Growing older and fading away I got the ADD, Triple ADD blues! I got the ADD, Triple ADD blues!
