Dewey's Ditties

Take the drink from my hand if you think it’s ‘one too many’ Hide my fishin’ pole on Sundays so I don’t miss church again Set the limit on my credit card to just two hundred dollars If you do then I’ll be sure to make more money than I spend You say you’ll always love me just the way I am But I can’t risk you changing your heart or my plans I’m asking you to help me try and become a better man DON...

SHE KNOWS HOW TO BREAKUP I'm not gonna lie she was the best thing that ever happened to me The knife she used to cut me loose went pretty deep She showed compassion while my heart imploded If it was acting, man, she really sold it SHE KNOWS HOW TO BREAKUP With tender words of hope and love A couple beers on her front porch swing Talkin' 'bout the good times we Had for twenty-one-derful days and ni...

There was a hunger inside me that came from my heart A dream so big I didn't have a clue where to start Then from out of the blue a voice in my head Shared a few words of wisdom I'll never forget Put your MISSION IN MOTION Don't wait another day Let the fire in your soul light the way There's nothing you can't do with a little faith, A bit of hard work and devotion Put your MISSION IN MOTION Now I...

IF EVERYBODY CAME FROM A FARM I built cars in Detroit Tractors in Waterloo Rolled some grass in LA Bailed hay near Baton Rouge Of all the people that I've met In every place I’ve been The ones with country in their genes Made the truest kind of friends IF EVERYBODY CAME FROM A FARM This world would be a better place by far We'd take less for granted On this Big Blue planet And do more good than ha...

THIS GLASS is the very same one Grampa worshiped whiskey in before he died in Nam THIS GLASS helped Grandma cope One shot at a time while she raised their boy alone When Grandma died it made it to our kitchen And it was tough watching dad keep up the tradition THIS GLASS Held the key to his pain When life was tough or didn't always go his way THIS GLASS Was a cure and a curse Delivered needed medi...

I heard you tell your momma on the phone last night How lucky you were I walked into your life That we've been best friends Soul mates Ever since our first date And I agree with it all Except the part about where luck was involved...cuz... I WOULD'VE FOUND YOU No matter where you were on this earth You're the true North to my compass The inner voice I've always heard If you were born and raised fi...

Hope I didn't wake our little girl; didn't mean to call this late Driving ten ain't no fun when I'm usually home by eight The boss sure was desperate to get this load to Cheyenne He said he'd make it worth my time but there's no way he can Yeah, we can always use the extra money But every mile that leads away from you Takes me FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH Of who I am and love to be Your husband and her...

THE WEEKEND BEGINS I've never been the kind to over think But lately that's what I've been doing Trying to solve one of life's mysteries And I finally came to the conclusion THE WEEKEND BEGINS When you're hangin' with your friends And that first cold beer hits your lips All those work life troubles Burst like carbonated bubbles And a smile's too hard to resist Oh, you never want it to end When THE...

TIP OF THE ICEBERG I'm no longer surprised To hear the hush then feel the eyes From all the jealous guys when I walk in this bar with you And I can't blame 'em a bit Cuz it was your outside that drew me in My first thoughts were full of sinful things we might do Now I know you like the back of my hand In ways these wishful thinkers never have They only see the TIP OF THE ICEBERG They don't know wh...

You earned a few degrees where bad maize goes (i.e. Cornell) Then made your mark with cows at MSU No one would be surprised if your blood was green And smelled like rumen juice But dairy cattle research is all in your past It's time to inhale some better grass See you later, RUMN8R Greener pastures are waiting for you No more chewing your cud Over nerdy science stuff There's a world of things out...

When we bought your family farm last year, And left our condo and careers I couldn't tell a heifer from a steer or a pig from a hog While you grew up in FFA I was acting cool in high school plays But hell, look at me today I'm right where I belong STUCK ON THIS FARM Like I'm stuck on you Love everything about these eighty acres with a view Never thought a city boy like me Could fit in like this ol...

Verse 1 I woke up that winter day with a chill in my bones Tried to blame it on the weather as it spread into my soul Verse 2 Then I went outside to raise the flag and when it reached the top I saw the car Out stepped a chaplain and sad-faced soldier; that’s when the chill froze my heart Chorus Then a gentle breeze waved Ol' Glory And up above I swear an eagle flew Then in your honor and my suffer...

Sundays were for church and mamma's home cooked meals And after supper our backyard became a football field It was always Dad against us kids and our winning streak survived By tacklin' that one-man team just short of the goal line Looking back now it's plain as day To dad it was so much more than a game He lived for the bottom of the pile Smothered by kids, laughter and smiles He taught us to be...

Cover Art Photo courtesy of Emily Kendall - Iryshe Photography She'll leave a trail of hay to the bar Swing her leg up and over that tall stool Then she'll ride off into the neon lights Swaying to the rhythm and the blues She’s a cowgirl and cowgirls are tough Hard to corner; easy to love Lord help the man who comes between her and her horse He’ll rue the day he was born Cuz’ she’s a cowgirl She'l...
