The Littles By Joe Shelton November 6, 2008 / May 22, 2013 G C G D G G C When my Son was born in 96 G C I said “He is only a little Bit, Em C He Weighs no more than some fly lint.” G D As I held him in my arms G C And when we were on our first trip south G C He cried and he cried all the way down Em C And I wondered if I could handle D G Being a Dad Chorus: G Well they start out real small C and they get real big G The walk down the hall C one day after crawling down it Em C They hit the winning basket in the basketball game Em D They grow up so fast you think you’re going insane G They are the littles D They are the littles G In my Life G When my daughter came along C D on her great grandmas birthday G She screamed all night long C D and then she slept all day G She was cute as button C In her bathing suit G Going up and down the slide C Into the baby pool Em I guess I never thought C or I never knew D That this time wouldn’t last forever Repeat Chorus G Now they just keep getting bigger C Day by Day Em C He’s more than six feet tall and she’s on her way G C but its still hard for me G C to see them that way Em They will always be D The littles G In my Life Repeat Chorus Intro out

Songs of Summer By Joe Shelton VH warmed those parking lots Kid Rock sang all summer long Garth gave us that summer Til Keith's summer came back around Chorus In the heat of the summer On a clear starry night I hear the words weaving In and out of time It's the songs of the summer Getting stronger and stronger I hear the beat of a drummer And guitars in my mind I lost myself in Bono's Summer Rain I could feel Don Henley's Pain I got Cochran's summertime blues and i got Alan Jackson's too Chorus There once was a cruel summer And several hot summer nights Then Kenny sang about summertime And baseball under the lights....

Fuson Road By Joe Shelton October 14, 2013 G- GG C-CC D-DD C G G C D C I grew up a few miles South of a midwestern factory town G C D C If you looked across the road, you would see corn for miles around Am Em When the wind would blow in the winter Am D It would be bone chillingly cold Am Em and we always yearned for the summer Am D Way out on Fuson Road. Chorus: G C The sun would rise and the sun would set G D and the days went on and on G C We always had time for the good times D G Way out on Fuson Road We played Basketball in the driveway as soon as the ice would go There were broken rims and backboards and we even played In the snow Sometimes we played some whiffleball And football in the fall And we always had time for a bonfire Way out on Fuson Road First Chorus:+ this We made a Golf Course in the side Lot And we played from dusk til dawn Yeah, We always had time for the good times Way out on Fuson Road My brothers and me we all grew up and moved to other towns Our parents also moved away, and left that sacred ground I drove by it the other day I saw the place after it was sold and I flashed back to the old times Way out on Fuson Road First Chorus: + this It doesn’t matter where you go or where You might live now always make time for the good times Just like on Fuson Road They always make time for the good times Way out on Fuson Road Way out on Fuson Road Way out on Fuson Road Whenever I think about home I'm out on Fuson Road Always make time for the good times..... Just like on Fuson Road.

Barn Party By Joe Shelton and Todd Blower Oct. 2 2013 Way out in the cornfields There is a big old ancient barn It is red and round and has a lot of old country charm Despite a few snows and storms After a hundred years it's looking great And it's been rockin on Friday nights since the summer of 88 Chorus Break out the amplifiers It's about to get loud in here We don't have lots of money But we all brought a lot of beer The buffalo is poured in the stall to the right So drink up loud and hearty In this place you can dance all night Welcome to the old barn party! B.Y.O.B. Bring your own bottle Be it whiskey or wine or a jar of shine Or just a few longnecks to throttle You don't have to worry, about who will drive ya If you get too drunk, you can sleep in the trunk And not even the law will find ya The women are hot, but the barn is not In middle of a long cold winter So bundle up, if you dance enough Maybe you will go home with her

Isolation Written By Todd Blower A lonely back road Between two empty fields The only house out here is mine Isolation Aint everyone's big deal But it seems to suit me just fine All around this place are empty woods And they go on for miles It ain't easy but I've done all I could To keep it green and wild Chorus: There's a sign down at the crossroad It says there's nothin here to see People call this a dead end But I just call it free I just call it free I just call it free Far away from the interstate All I hear out here is wind People live to hurry up and wait Only to be late again What my life lacks in style I make up for in sweat. No one's seen me in while now But it's ok if they forget Chorus Interlude Chorus

Evil Monday By Joe Shelton June 11, 2013 Chorus I worked hard all day on Thursday and now Thank God it's Friday Partied all night and all day and all night on crazy day Saturday.... Rest on Sunday for Evil Monday! The day before Tuesday is always tough I lay there thinking I can't sleep enough My body doesn't operate the day after Sunday The way it did when the night was Friday. Chorus I spend forty hours grinding each and every week Sitting at a desk dressed like a Geek Everybody texts me and says let's play But I can't go cause I need the payday. Chorus We all love our job when the pay check comes But spend most of it on weekend fun Repeating this process and causing no fuss Tell me what it takes to end this rut....
