Let me take you down to flowers bloom
Where the lights are glowing on every roof
Where there’s always neighbors to wave at noon
And there’s always campfires under the moon
Hanging off of a pickup truck
A land of good times, there's only one
Sipping sunshine until we're drunk
Got no worries, so bottoms up
Waiting for the weekend to come
Grab your boys, yeah, let's have some fun
Tappin’ feet to the beat of drums
Be wearin' grins when the day is done, so
Where sunsets greet the valley
Look there, that's where you'll find me
YOHIODOWN
Got ya stomping, tapping, singing, spinning ‘round
So grab those boots, come dance, let’s go
Don’t ya let them slow ya down
Let me take you with me to the edge of town
Where the bouncing bass always shakes the ground
Where the people join in the jamboree
And the kids hang out by the willow tree
Hanging off of a pickup truck
A land of good times, there's only one
Sipping sunshine until we're drunk
Got no worries, so bottoms up
Waiting for the weekend to come
Grab your boys, yeah, let's have some fun
Tappin’ feet to the beat of drums
Be wearin' grins when the day is done, so
Where sunsets greet the valley
Look there, that's where you'll find me
Where fireflies paint the city
Look there, that’s where you’ll find me
YOHIODOWN
Got ya stomping, tapping, singing, spinning ‘round
So grab those boots, come dance, let’s go
Don’t ya let them slow ya down
Yeehaw!
Whoo!
YOHIODOWN
Got ya stomping, tapping, singing, spinning ‘round
So grab those boots, come dance, let’s go
Don’t ya let them slow ya down

I was just a love-struck young buck
Kickin’ up dust
In a pair of shiny boots and an old truck
And you were riding shotgun
Sitting high and lookin pretty
As we tore down gravel roads
With our backs to the city
Found ourselves alone in a sea of golden wheat
Watched the prairie sun going down in the back seat
You asked me if I’d love you still a couple years from now
I said yes I would, there ain’t no doubt, it’s easy to see how
You're like top shelf whiskey, a Chevy '69
A hundred-dollar bottle of California wine
And I know surely as the sunrise
Tomorrow you will shine
Because country girls only get better with time
We were starting out with a little means and big dreams
Gettin by, rollin up our sleeves, runnin full steam
Always looking to the day
When our troubles would seem far away
Built ourselves a house
To go nice with our gold rings
Watch the prairie sunrise
Cuddled up on the porch swing
You asked me if I’d love you in 20 years or so
I said yes I would without a doubt and this is how I know;
You're like top shelf whiskey, a Chevy '69
A hundred-dollar bottle of California wine
And I know surely as the sunrise
Tomorrow you will shine
Because country girls only get better with time
When the years are piled high
And the bottle has run dry
And the Chevy’s drivin down those gravel backroads in the sky
I know surely as the summer heat, the rising of the tide
Nothing here nor there nor up above could take you from my side
You’re the kind of gal that a cowboy’s dreams are made of
I won’t let you go til that final debt is paid off
And the stars fall out the sky and the ocean leaves the shore
I swear year that passes by I’ll love you even more
Cuz you’re like top shelf whiskey
Top shelf whiskey!
You're like top shelf whiskey, a Chevy '69
A hundred-dollar bottle of California wine
And I know surely as the sunrise
Tomorrow you will shine
Because country girls only get better with time

Some 10 years ago, that’s how long since it rained
Praying long hours just to get through hard days
Then the clouds split in two and the climate all changed
But that's also when we noticed the fungus
It grew tall and strong, like it did nothing wrong
But it was no good to eat, so we wanted it gone
An indignant man thought that he’d get it done
But the ‘shrooms won't budge, in the night or in sun
Though his cutting failed, the rot bastards still won
Just like seeds of death, all their spores flew along
Everyone fell ill, some bedridden at worst
We didn’t know what to do but we knew we were cursed
By the fungus
And we tell our tale of sorrows
To folks who'd lend us such an ear
But the final warning to you’s
To get away from here
You don't know half the story
But still you think you know it all
The root of truth it lies beneath us
To learn it, takes a simple toll
(The root of sin, a hefty toll)
Pacing back and forth, watching out for the rain
But then suddenly, we heard him scream in pain
On his head, a gash, pouring out brains and blood
So we left for help, we left him in the mud
But when we returned, somehow he was just gone
Not a trace of blood even left on the lawn
Did he up and walk? We all wondered aloud
But then we saw it on the ground
It grew from him
The root of sin
And we tell our tale of sorrows
To folks who'd lend us such an ear
But the final warning to you’s
To get away from here
You don't know half the story
But still you think you know it all
The root of truth it lies beneath us
To learn it, takes a simple toll
(The root of sin, a hefty toll)
We were at wits end, mourning one’s that we’d lost
Seemed us living here was just too high a cost
Just as we all thought that we’d best move away
The ground shook around, causing us all to sway
And when we emerged, left our sunk homes behind
We could not believe in the sight that we’d find
Tall as city highs, their huge stalks filled the skies
And wrapped to lock us inside
There was nowhere to hide
We all would die here
And we tell our tale of sorrows
To folks who'd lend us such an ear
But the final warning to you’s
To get away from here
You don't know half the story
But still you think you know it all
The root of truth it lies beneath us
To learn it, takes a simple toll
(The root of sin, a hefty toll)

Jeronis Leror-P - Unsung

V1
As I've wandered down this road they call life
I find that I am in strife
As I struggle to hold on to my light
I find no peace in this fight
Pre-Chorus
and I find only sorrow is free
I must grab peace where I can
Chorus
My heartsong is unsung
Not because it is any good for me
or the world above
the next ladder rung
my heart song is unsung
because I have been alone for far too long
to remember what friendship
V2
is like
Here in this world that's called real life
I must make my own cursed light
As I do struggle
my own heart to find
Sadness to my soul it binds
(Pre-Chorus)
Sorrow only friend
I'll find meaning
or just you in the
ending of all things
as more tragedy
you bring to me
Chorus x4
is.

Long time ago in a Wild, Wild West
A brave boy had a home
And right next door
A beautiful girl
With hair in monochrome
They played all day
And even more in the night
They were having Such a great time
But then, in the blink of an eye
The bandits showed up covered in despair
And they took the girl to use her as a stair
The boy tried to take her away
But the bandits hit him
And they ran away
Poor thing!
And when he was lying on the ground
A god of sand showed up in his dreams
Yes in his dreams
He made the deal, that the boy will have a power to control the sand
If he'll go and rescue the girl that he lost in the strand
12 years have passed
The sun was up high
He finally found, where they are
So he can give her a warm embrace
The town was covered in dust
When he arrived, covered in despair
And he stood in front of the bandits, while they were
Similing like they pity him
And they let the boss with a sadistic grin
Take a step forward
This is where it all ends
I won't let you hurt her anymore
Not anymore
With the god of sand on my side
I'll tear your body apart
So get ready
For what I've been waiting for!
