  • Songbay provide a unique service. There is nothing else on the market that allows independent songwriters and lyricists to sell their work in this way. The Songbay team are very supportive or their artists. They regularly promote their users on Twitter and often retweet promotional tweets posted by artists. The Songbay team are also easy to contact and happy to help with any problems or questions via email or Twitter. I was also invited to write an article for Songbay's blog, which led to paid teaching work

Hill Country High

  • High Roller

    By Zachary Fisher d/b/a Sweet Jesus Enterprises, Inc.
    He rides in on his Cadillac, with his
    license plate reading “u owe me”
    He heads right over to the old saloon,
    to grab himself a drink
    “Whiskey” is what he said to the girl,
    as he looked her up and down
    “Straight up or on the rocks?” she winked
    He knew he really liked this town

    Jingle bells santa smells, he scares me half to death

    Oh jingle bells santa smells, I wish he'd go away

  • Christmas Drive to Grandma

    By Dorian de Vries
    (Verse 1 - Father's Thoughts)
    We're packed in the car, like a sardine can.
    Driving to grandma's house on Christmas Day,
    But all I can think ‘bout, what again my dad says,
    About my job today and how I'm not quite there,
    Thanks for reminding, dad, I really do care.

    Chorus:

  • You (Change the song)

    By Shebot
    To have to you standing here in front of me
    My whole body tingles to the very core
    Weary, do you ever think of me?
    You throw into question everything I do
    Exceeding the lines I’d cross, the boundaries I’d succumb
    Testing my nerves, afraid of what I could do
    All sense of rationale distant, what next will my love do?

  • I'll Go There

    By David Johnson
    (Verse)
    ‘Bout time I get away
    Fly me to some far-off place
    Wind and sun in my hair
    Close my eyes, I see me there

    Chair and toes in the sand
    A cold drink in my hand
    Hearing gentle waves roll in
    I would wear a happy grin

    (Chorus)
    Some say that life’s a beach
    Where white sand, blue water meets
    That’s where I want t...
