Edenton’s Grace
In the heart of Carolina, by the water's gentle flow, There's a town so charming, where the azaleas grow. Edenton, North Carolina, you're such a gem, By the Albemarle Sound, With your historic streets and stories, where history is all around.

Can’t Get Right
In a world divided, hearts are torn apart, Politics gone astray, tearing at we the people’s heart. Left and right, we're lost in the fight, It's time to find a way, but right now we just can’t get right.
Oh, can we rise above the fray, Find a path to a brighter day? In a world of politics that’s gone straight to hell, both left and right are wrong, and the economy can tell. Can we right the wrongs and just make peace, or are we gonna drown in this shit that just won’t cease.
Crime’s on the rise, and fear's in the air, We have to stand together, show that we still care. No matter where we're from or what color we are, we gotta make our world a better place and it ain’t happenin’ so far.
Oh, can we rise above the fray, Find a path to a brighter day? In a world of politics that’s gone straight to hell, both left and right are wrong, and the economy can tell. Can we right the wrongs and just make peace, or are we gonna drown in this shit that just won’t cease.
Prices soarin’ high, it's hard to make ends meet,. Politicians making promises everyday, hard to keep. The world can’t get right cause we can’t get along. What happened to that beacon on a hill, when everything was strong?
But we'll join our hands, never know defeat. Together we'll find strength, in unity, Break down walls, walk proud and get back on our feet. In the darkest hours, we'll find our way, Through the stormy weather, we'll seize the day. It's not too late to mend the great divide, With love and hope, we'll turn the tide.

In this world that can’t get right, we the people gotta get up and fight. Cast our differences aside and try to turn the tide. With spirit in our hearts, through all the moving parts, we'll find our way to peace, gotta make it a world where the bad shit’ll cease.
I was born in a gritty Pennsylvania town where the sun don't shine, In the heart of the struggle, in a tough old time. Mama ran off when I was just a kid, and Daddy's in jail, all the things that he did. My wife left me, said she couldn't stay, It's all gone to hell, can't chase the pain away. The rent's three months due, and the landlady's a knockin', I can't catch a break, the whole world’s gone rotten.
But through it all, there's a place I can go, A refuge from my troubles, my sanctuary, you know. A local bar called TJ’s, my redneck Country Club of Hard Knocks, Where the whiskey flows like a healing flood and there ain’t no need for watches or clocks. In the neon lights, I find my peace, In the company of fellow members, my troubles cease. It's the only place where I can truly feel free, a lifelong member of the Hard Knocks Country Club, my place to be.
The jukebox plays a sad old tune, As I nurse my drink 'neath the cold, dark moon. Bartender's a friend who knows my name, He's heard my story, seen my shame. But he don't judge, he just pours me another, In this place of lost souls, we're all sisters and brothers. We share our stories of heartache and despair, But in this little bar, my people still care.

Life may be tough, and times may be rough, But in this ol’ bar, I've had enough. Of feeling sorry for myself, of feeling so low and old, Here, I can find some warmth in the dark and cold.
So, raise a glass to the ones who've known pain, To the ones who've walked through the pouring rain. We may be battered, but we're still standing tall, At the Hard Knocks Country Club, we drink to it all. Through the struggles and the tears we've shed, We find strength in each other, in this bar we call home instead. We'll weather the storms that life may bring, and know that tomorrow night we’ll be back for another fling.

In the arms of my friends, I'll can always be found, a lifelong member of the Hard Knocks Country Club, I'm forever bound.

In the dark of the night, I felt love's embrace, A world full of colors, a smile on my face, But shadows betrayed me, and lies took their place, I never saw it coming, my heart left in a chase.
The whispers of deception, I ignored them all, Blinded by affection, I took a tragic fall, Now I'm left with shattered trust, my heart's enthrall, A symphony of pain, a heartbreak's bitter call.
You messed around, tore my dreams apart, Betrayed my love, left a scar upon my heart, But I'll rise from the ashes, find a brand new start, Though the pain may linger, I'll mend this shredded piece of art.
I gave you my all, my love, and my trust, But behind my back, you left my heart to rust, The tears I've cried, the nights so cold and unjust, But I'll reclaim my strength, from ashes to robust.

You messed around, tore my dreams apart, Betrayed my love, left a scar upon my heart, But I'll rise from the ashes, find a brand new start, Though the pain may linger, I'll mend this shredded piece of art.
Thinking of you and the pain I've been through, But also a testament to the strength I found anew, I'll find love again, with someone true, This chapter may be over, but this ol’ boy’s story's far from through.
Oh, the suns shinin’ bright, it's a brand new day, I'm feeling so alive, as I dance my cares away, Got a smile on my face, and a skip in my stride, Life's a symphony, and I'm singin’ like I’m high.
Dreams comin’ true, one by one, a lot to do, my time ain’t done. This journey's just begun and I'm on a roll, Embracing life with all my heart and soul.
Everything's going right, and its feelin’ so divine, Like a shooting star, I'm soaring high, I'm on cloud nine, With each step I take, I'm reaching for the sky, I'm the conductor of life, and this train’s runnin’ on high.

In the heart of the city, where the neon lights glow, There's a man named Mookey, with a story to show, He walks these lonely streets, with tattered clothes and shoes, A soul misunderstood, but with a spirit that won't lose.
Mookey, the man with dreams untold, Through the cold nights, he walks bold, Though life's been hard, he keeps his head high, Mookey, let your spirit touch the sky.
Once he had a family, a home and a name, But life's twists and turns left him in this endless game, Now he finds his shelter beneath the starry night, Seeking solace in the shadows, away from judgment's sight.
Mookey, the man with dreams untold, Through the cold nights, he walks bold, Though life's been hard, he keeps his head high, Mookey, let your spirit touch the sky.
In the alleys and doorways, he finds fleeting peace, In the eyes of passersby, he searches for release, A forgotten soul, but with a heart that's true, Mookey, no one listens to understand you.
Through the laughter and tears, he's seen it all, He's witnessed broken dreams and heard the city's call, But behind the weathered face, there's a spark of light, A resilience that shines, even in the darkest night.
Mookey, the man with dreams untold, Through the cold nights, he walks bold, Though life's been hard, he keeps his head high, Mookey, let your spirit touch the sky.
So, as we rush through life, let's pause for a while, To see the humanity in each weary smile, For Mookey's just a reminder of our shared fate, And a chance to show compassion, before it's too late.
Mookey, your story will not go unheard, Through this song, your voice will be stirred, May the world see your strength, your courage, and grace, And may your spirit eventually find a brighter, gentler place.

In the dark of the night, I felt love's embrace, A world full of colors, a smile on my face, But shadows betrayed me, and lies took their place, I never saw it coming, my heart left in a chase.
The whispers of deception, I ignored them all, Blinded by affection, I took a tragic fall, Now I'm left with shattered trust, my heart's enthrall, A symphony of pain, a heartbreak's bitter call.
You messed around, tore my dreams apart, Betrayed my love, left a scar upon my heart, But I'll rise from the ashes, find a brand new start, Though the pain may linger, I'll mend this shredded piece of art.
I gave you my all, my love, and my trust, But behind my back, you left my heart to rust, The tears I've cried, the nights so cold and unjust, But I'll reclaim my strength, from ashes to robust.

I'll paint the skies anew, erase any memory of you, Find the strength within, embrace my life again, Through this dark storm, I'll find peace, I'll break from your lies and once again feel free.

Thinking of you and the pain I've been through, But also a testament to the strength I found anew, I'll find love again, with someone true, This chapter may be over, but this ol’ boy’s story's far from through.
