Cover Band
lyrics & music by Carolyn J. Messina (c) 2017
I say hey diddle diddle. Cat’s got a fiddle. Buddy’s got a stand up bass
I got a six string. Think I'm gonna sing. Drummer better keep on pace. Yeah heh
Gonna play Springsteen. Joni at seventeen. Dream a little dream of me
Coldplay, Green day. Let’s all drift away with Me and Bobby Mcgee
In sweet home Alabama I got Georgia on my mind.
At the hotel California You can leave it all behind
If you're a red neck woman or a sharp dressed man
Kick up your shoes or cowboy boots and dance all night to a cover band. To a cover band
Dylan, Sugarland, Nitty Gritty Dirt band. Etta got me singing the blues
Raise your glass to Johnny Cash. He’ll walk the line with you. With you…
.
Blondie Beatles Kansas Eagles. Elvis got me All Shook Up
Billie Jean, the Stones and Queen. Build me up a buttercup
In sweet home Alabama I got Georgia on my mind.
At the hotel California You can leave it all behind
If you're a red neck woman or a sharp dressed man
Kick up your shoes or cowboy boots and dance all night to a cover band. To a cover band
If you're gonna play in Texas you’re gonna need a bit Ole truck
Cause you can't drive a Lexus if you're playing Marshall Tucker
Workin for the weekend and we’re livin on a prayer
Anyway you want it let the music take you there
Guns n roses, everybody knows it. Oh sweet child of mine
Bruno’s lazy, Patsy’s crazy. We’re all closer to fine
Move like Jagger, y’all gor swagger, Shake me all night long
Pink asked who knew, what I like about you, Sing me another song
In sweet home Alabama I got Georgia on my mind.
At the hotel California You can leave it all behind
If you're a red neck woman or a sharp dressed man
Kick up your shoes or cowboy boots and dance all night to a cover band. To a cover band

Rabbit Hole
lyrics and music by Carolyn Messina (c) 2017
Tossin and turning no peace I can find.
Wrapped up in worry, can't turn off my mind
Tomorrow can't get here too soon.
So I count sheep and talk to the moon
Visions of all of the things that went wrong
dance in my brain to a childhood song
I wish on that star burning bright.
And watch as It fades from the night
Oh I want to go down that Rabbit hole and dream in bright colors again
Have tea with the cat or the man in the hat
Oh bring me to wonderland. Bring me to wonderland
Turn on the news it’s a horrible sight
famine and fighting and shots every night
These images won't go away
So off to bed where I will pray
Here I am wide awake it's 2 a m
I guess My sleeping pill failed me again
I stare at the clock all aglow
Reminding me time passes slow
Oh I want to go down that Rabbit hole and dream in bright colors again
Have tea with the cat or the man in the hat
Oh bring me to wonderland. Bring me to wonderland
Where I'll waltz with the king of hearts
Tango with tweedle dum
Swim in a sea of tears
Race to get dry in the sun
Oh I want to go down that Rabbit hole and dream in bright colors again
Have tea with the cat or the man in the hat
Oh bring me to wonderland. Bring me to wonderland

The Other Side of 45
Lyrics & Music by Carolyn Messina (c) 2017
I'm on the other side of 45 and 50s coming soon
But age is just a number so forget the doom and gloom
Dream as if you're 6 years old and worry's not a word you know
The other side of 45's brand new
I'm on the other side of 45 it's time to celebrate
The dawning of a new day and this life that we create
Gotta stop the worrying and wondering what mighta been
The other side of 45 is great
I'm on the other side of 45 and looking back through time
I remember phone booths and when each call cost a dime
Coke was something that you drank and I had money in the bank
The other side of 45 is fine
I'm on the other side of 45 and thinking 'bout the days
You didn't have to worry when the kids went out to play
Mom would say be home by five, no cell phone tethered to our side
The other side of 45's okay
I'm on the other side of 45 and every now and then
I start to wonder why my friends are home in bed by ten
But now I think I understand that bed by nine's a better plan
The other side of 45 is meh
I'm on the other side of 45 and not so long ago
I had to get bifocals cause you know, the eyes they go.
So please don't ask me how I feel, It's just a birthday no big deal
The other side of 45's so-so
On the other side of 45 and feeling rather bold
But my body aches betray me and my hands are always cold
I used to walk to school you know, two miles up a hill in snow
The other side of 45 is old
I'm on the other side of 45 and think this song is done
What a ride it's been on this trip around the sun
Another year has come and gone so join me now and sing along
The other side of 45, The other side of 45, The other side of 45 is done.

Declaration (The Angry Ex-Girlfriend Song)
Lyrics and Music by Carolyn Messina © 2017
One Two Look at you. Tryin’ to figure out what to do
Three Four Out the door. You ain't gonna cheat on me anymore
Five Six Watch the bricks Better move before they hit your
Seven Eight Nine Ten Mercedes Benz Here’s a warning to all men
Oh we've been dating for three years. An engagement ring never did appear
Then I caught you with my friend. No excuse, this is the end
But who says a grown girl's gotta cry when a boy breaks your heart with a mess of lies
He's the one who should be weepin’. So turn around and watch me leavin
Cause it's a 1234 declaration of war I ain't gonna take it any more.
Cause there ain't no man worth crying. All you boys better head for cover
Cause a women's wrath is a fiery beast with a right hook, sucker punch you’re gonna see
It’s a 1234 declaration of war I ain't gonna take it anymore
Well Facebook Twitter and cyberspace. Everywhere I see his face
It used to be so friggin easy to rip the photos into pieces
But digital is keeping me as busy as a killer bee
I gotta un-friend, un-tag, block his stupid cell. Take a break, get a grip, grow a thicker shell
1234 declaration of war I ain't gonna take it any more.
Cause there ain't no man worth crying. All you boys better head for cover
Cause a women's wrath is a fiery beast with a right hook, sucker punch you’re gonna see
It’s a 1234 declaration of war I ain't gonna take it anymore
Here's my warning to avoid the storming of a hell bent girl out for revenge.
Stop that sweet talking, lying cheating, keep on walking
Just Stay off my list of future ex-boyfriends
Yeah there ain't no man worth crying. All you boys better head for cover
Cause a women's wrath is a fiery beast with a right hook, sucker punch you’re gonna see
It’s a 1234 declaration of war I ain't gonna take it anymore
It’s a 1234 declaration of war I ain't gonna take it anymore

Walk With Me
music & lyrics by Carolyn Messina © 2017
Walk with me to the end of the earth
Cast your eyes to the sky
Feel the warmth of the sun on your face and
Catch the morning light.
Walk with me to the river of dreams
Down the path round the bend
Pay respect to the birds and the bears
Make peace with our forest friends
Let's get lost in the shadows. Tread softly through these trees
And dance like no one’s watching. Let it go and just be free
Let's step inside this canvas. Climb that castle on the hill
Cause there's no future there's no past when time is standing still. In a photograph
Walk with me in a moonlit night Cause when darkness fall
There's a world that most never see Or hear when the night owl calls
Let's get lost in the shadows. Tread softly through these trees
And dance like no one’s watching. Let it go and just be free
Let's step inside this canvas. Climb that castle on the hill
Cause there's no future there's no past when time is standing still. In a photograph
Walk with me though I don't know just where this journey leads
Take my hand and hold on tight
and make this leap with me
Walk with me to the end of the earth
Cast your eyes to the sky
Feel the warmth of the sun on your face and
Catch the morning light.
Let's get lost in the shadows. Tread softly through these trees
And dance like no one’s watching. Let it go and just be free
Let's step inside this canvas. Climb that castle on the hill
Cause there's no future there's no past when time is standing still. In a photograph
