The Daily Blues
Music and Lyrics Scott Shorr
Copyright 2018
Verse 1
It’s 3 AM, I’m wide awake
A heavy load on my mind
Can’t sleep a wink, It’s bitter cold
A sweet dream, I can’t find
Maybe tomorrow, when the new day breaks
A rising sun will shine
Shed some light on these darkened skies
A gaze, now less sublime
Chorus
Headlines make
For heavy hearts
I’m dismayed by the daily news
Crushing spirit
Across the land
They trigger...
The daily blues
Verse 2
Rainy days and stormy nights
The forecast’s, not looking good
High pressure cells and cold fronts loom
If I could change it, I would
Warmer weather is bound to appear
Bring us all back home
I hope it’s soon, cause this cold wind
Is chilling to the bone
Chorus
Headlines make
For heavy hearts
I’m dismayed by the daily news
Crushing spirit
Across the land
They trigger...
The daily blues
Chorus
Headlines make
For heavy hearts
I’m dismayed by the daily news
Crushing spirit
Across the land
They trigger...
The daily blues

Something to Love

Written by Jason Isbell, this song can be found on his new album entitled The Nashville Sound
lyrics
"Something To Love"
I hope you find something to love
Something to do when you feel like giving up
A song to sing or a tale to tell
Something to love, it'll serve you well
I was born in a tiny southern town
I grew up with all my family around
We made music on the porch on Sunday nights
Old man with an old guitar smoking Winston Lights
Old women harmonizing with the wind
Singing softly to the savior like a friend
They taught me how to make the chords and sing the words
I'm still singing like that great speckled bird
I hope you find something to love
Something to do when you feel like giving up
A song to sing or a tale to tell
Something to love, it'll serve you well
Tonight we're lying on a blanket in the yard
The wind is cold the sky is dark and the ground is hard
But your momma loves to count the stars at night
So if I get a little chill that's alright
I hope you find something to love
Something to do when you feel like giving up
A song to sing or a tale to tell
Something to love, it'll serve you well
You were born on a hot late summer day
We turned you loose and tried to stay out of your way
Don't quite recognize the world you call home
Just find what makes you happy girl and do it 'til you're gone
I hope you find something to love
Something to do when you feel like giving up
A song to sing or a tale to tell
Something to love, it'll serve you well

The Good Old Days
Music and Lyrics Scott Shorr
Copyright 2018
Verse1
Bobby’s in the back seat
Julie’s in his arms
Underneath the moonlight
A little something going on
....the good old days
Verse2
Mama’s in the bleachers
Cheering for her son
He just scored a touchdown
And the home team won
...the good old days
Chorus
Never will forget them
I miss those good old days
Nothing lasts forever
So I’ve heard them say
Store them in a safe place
Visit now and then
When I’m in need of comfort
I’ll visit them again
...the good old days
Verse3
Daddy’s gone fishing
Brand new boat in tow
He hopes that they’ll be biting
He’ll tell everyone he knows
...the good old days
Verse4
A family vacation
Warm summer nights
A cool breeze off the ocean
Feels oh so right
...the good old days
Chorus
Never will forget them
I miss those good old days
Nothing lasts forever
So I’ve heard them say
Store them in a safe place
Visit now and then
When I’m in need of comfort
I’ll visit them again
...the good old days
Dinner’s on the table
We’re all gathered round
Peach pie’s in the oven
Just gained another pound
...the good old days
Sister’s getting married
Now she’s not alone
Says she wants a family
A family of her own
...the good old days
Chorus
Never will forget them
I miss those good old days
Nothing lasts forever
So I’ve heard them say
Store them in a safe place
Visit now and then
When I’m in need of comfort
I’ll visit them again
...the good old days

Calmer Seas
Scott Shorr
Copyright February 2018
Verse 1
Setting sail
For the ocean
Riding on
This choppy sea
Looking for
Calmer water
To sail this ship
To comfort me
.....
Verse 2
Feel the chill
In the air
The cold wind cuts
The sail’s frayed rope
Waiting on
Warmer weather
A glimpse of sunshine
A ray of hope
Chorus
There’s a storm
On the horizon
Blowing South
And Westerly
Changing course
A new direction
Searching for
Calmer seas
Verse 3
Turning back
The voyage is over
New reflection
Home at last
Mirrored water
Offers answers
To the questions
I always ask
Chorus
There’s a storm
On the horizon
Blowing South
And Westerly
Changing course
A new direction
Searching for
Calmer seas
