Lindy B. Huskador: Lyrics

Cats

The cats are on the window sill
They stare at the birds until
The sun goes down and they all fly away
You hold me tight in the dark of night
You ask me if you think we might
Have more than cats share our home some day

I tell you that I love each cat
And I see where you’re going with that
But are we really ready for that day
I don’t want to fight in the dark of night
So I answer that I think we might
But a kid is more than caring for a stray

There’s the crying and the diaper changes
Sleepless nights that rearranges
Every aspect of our lives today
There’ll be a college account of no small amount
Life insurance and the bills will mount
Do we really want to change out lives that way?

Just then the cats jumped up and into the bed
Almost as if they know what we said
Their eyes glow green before they close them for the night
I find your lips for a goodnight kiss
There’s more to life that I don’t want to miss
I hold you tight because I know we’re going to be alright

The Family Tree (Scuba's Song)

Now we’re brought together… one big family…
Another leaf has fallen… from our family tree…
We are here to celebrate… the joy that was her life…
And say goodbye to a sister, a mother, and a wife…

But our family tree will stand tall…
It was built on love it just won’t fall…
There are new branches sprouting everyday…
When we lose a leaf it’s not the end…
It just lets more sunshine in…
Our family tree gets stronger in everyway…

Mama used to tell us… to love life everyday…
Take care of each other… love one another… it’s the family way…
But when the good Lord took her… so she could be with Dad again …
We said goodbye… but we knew inside… she was glad to be with him…

Fucked at the Drive-thru

Can I speak to the manager please?
She’s busy sir, maybe I can help you?
I didn’t get all of my order
Yesterday, here at the drive-thru

I got halfway home
Before I reached for my food
The french fries were not in the bag
It put me in a really foul mood

Now can I speak to the manager please?
She’s still busy sir, but I’m here to help you.
You are the one who didn’t get my order right
Yesterday, here at the drive-thru

I was nearly home
When I spilled soda on my clothes
The cup was so full of ice
That my gearbox nearly froze!

So, I came to speak to the manager please
She’s very busy sir, that’s why I’m here to help you.
I manage the window
Here at the drive-thru.

Now I want to meet the one who trained you
The one who taught you what to do
I want to know if it’s your official company policy
That I should always get fucked here at the drive-thru!

If I'm Only Dreaming

I met a girl just the other day
She said she was just passing through this way
She asked for directions then gave me a wink
And her crooked little smile caused me to stop… and think
Then, in a casual, off-handed way
I asked her what she was doing a little later that day
Could I meet her for a drink… say at quarter past eight?
She tossed her hair and said, “Ok, you’ve got a date”

My mind was spinning, where will this go?
If I’m only dreaming I don’t want to know

I conjured a table and ordered a beer
And patiently waited for her to appear
One beer then two, maybe seven or ten
I began to doubt if she’d show, but oh what happened then!
She strolled right on in with a friend on her arm
Another stunning lady… 4-alarm
She quietly admitted that she lived, well, not far away
Glanced at my empty bottles and added, “Do you need a place to stay?”

The bar was spinning, where will this go?
If I’m only dreaming I don’t want to know

They had a loft with a fully stocked bar
The first girl reached in my pocket and took the keys to my car
The second girl took the shoes from my feet
Almost before I could find a seat!
The rest of what happened would be once in a lifetime
Except there were two, and playing favorites would be a crime
They were in love with each other, that much was clear
I was just glad to have been invited here

The room was spinning, where will this go?
If I’m only dreaming I don’t want to know

The next morning was more than just another day
It was explained to me while my hangover went away
They were in love and together, that observation was true
But they weren’t too happy just being two
The seeds I provided as I rolled on their floor
Had the potential to double their number to four
If I could handle it, I could see their… my… I mean our children grow
The last twenty-four hours has changed the entire world that I know!

The world was spinning, where will this go?
If I’m only dreaming I don’t want to know

Can't Say Goodbye

Out of respect we dress in black
Goodbyes under a sky of grey
Time to speak, no words to say
Tired of faking, “No, I’m not ok”

‘Can’t say goodbye
‘Can’t bare to say goodbye to my buddy Bear
For you my Bear, for you I cry
Can’t understand why you had to die

I wish you could be here today
Out of respect we dress in black
Out of respect we’re here to pray
Out of respect these words I say
I’ll always love and remember you
and in my heart you’ll always stay

‘Can’t say goodbye
‘Can’t bare to say goodbye to my buddy Bear
For you my Bear, for you I cry
Can’t understand why you had to die

One Day

They’re not here for you
They’re not here for me
They’re just here for themselves
As you will see

They look up to no one
They look down on you
Everything that they say
Everything that they do

Oh, One-Day One day we will see
One-Day One day we will be
Just a product of our complacency
Then there won’t be anything left for you and me

I believed they were good
I believed that life was fair
I believed that my water was clean
That I could still breathe the air
But these aren’t rights that I own
They’ve all been taken away
Now that I’ve opened my eyes
I see it everyday

Oh, One-Day One day we will see
One-Day One day we will be
Just a product of our complacency
Then there won’t be anything left for you and me

As I forge ahead
I wonder where I’ll go
They won’t let me stay
Now that they know I know
They still hold all the cards
They still run the show
Maybe soon there won’t be
Anywhere else to go

Oh, one-day
Oh, one-day
Oh, one-day
Oh, no day like today

Hey Young Lady

Hey young lady, I’ll treat you right
I’ll make you dream amazing dreams tonight
I’ll spoil you with menu, wardrobe and then you
Can have the world … and then some
But you’ll never hear me say, “I love you”

I loved a woman once
And she loved me too
That much I still know is true
We had the house
We had the ring
We had all of everything
I carry her with me wherever I go
I carry her with me
I still love her and I can’t let her go

Hey young lady, I’ll treat you right
I’ll make you dream amazing dreams tonight
Forget tomorrow, forget yesterday
Give me this moment and get carried away

So young lady
Let me have you, let me hold you
I know the way in and I know the way out too
I know just what to say
I know the game and I know how to play
I know just what to do
And I won’t stay long enough to hurt you

Hey young lady, I’ll treat you right
I’ll make you dream amazing dreams tonight
Forget tomorrow, forget yesterday
Give me this moment and get carried away

From a Long Way Away

From a long way away
Everything still looks okay
I still go to work
Well, almost everyday
I put my tongue on the roof of my mouth
It keeps me from saying what I have to say

I sail the seas with no wind at all
I count the years with chalk on the wall
I get around but have no place to be
And you can’t see anything wrong
Just by looking at me

From a long way away
Everything still looks okay
But the sun keeps setting
In the middle of the day
I put my tongue on the roof of my mouth
It makes me look like I’m smiling day after day
Day after day

I sail the seas with no wind at all
I count the years with chalk on the wall
I get around but have no place to be
But you can’t see anything wrong
Just by looking at me

From a long way away
Everything still looks okay
But I feel the darkness in the middle of the day
I put my tongue on the roof of my mouth
And I silently pray
That we will be one again someday
Someday, someday, someday

Just Another

Just another page
Just another door
Just another step
Just a question, is there more?

Just a glimpse of a distant shore
Just another lady knocking on my door
Just a kiss
Just a feeling
Just a wish
To speed up the healing

Make a deal
Make a war
When I go numb
I feel nothing more
I feel different
With every day
I don’t like the way I feel
But, tomorrow is another day

Just another page
Just another door
Just another step
Just a question, is there more?

Man-Made Roadblocks

How much time have I had to wait
To get through that most hated gate
The lane lines seem longer the more I am late
There is a guy that I have learned more than any to hate

There is a guy who built the first building in the road
Oh dear, we have construction bills that are owed
Let’s get the road users to pay for the cost
And the first toll booth was built and all has been lost

Step on the clutch
Step on the brake
Smell that truck’s exhaust
My throat burns, my lungs ache

The roads have been paid for and paid for again
But the toll booths will remain until I’ll tell you when
When hell freezes over or I run the show
And toll booths will be the first things to go

Leave the stick-shift in first
And a foot on the clutch
Can’t I move up a few feet?
Is that asking too much?

That guy without change
Is stuck in the wrong lane
Just try to cut in
I’ll teach him about pain

Step on the gas
Step on the brake
Step on the gas
Step on the brake

Finally I’m through
But I have to come home this way
Just thinking about it
Will ruin my whole day

Step on the gas
Step on the brake
Step on the gas
Step on the brake

One Down and Four Up

Kick start
Spread my legs apart
I need
The open road today

Give me
An easy ride
Take me
Anywhere, take me away

One down and four up
Feeling through turns we’re leaning from side to side
One down and four up
There are no seatbelts on this E-ticket ride

I try
To read your mind
There’s no
Telling what I’ll find

Miles fly
By in a blur
Knees squeeze
I feel the engine purr

One down and four up
Feeling through turns we’re leaning from side to side
One down and four up
There are no seatbelts on this E-ticket ride

Wrap my
Arms around you
And I lace my fingers across your heart

If you
Only knew
That I have loved you from the start

I feel
Wind rushing through my hair
Our Hearts
Are racing the engine
Like two
Bats out of hell straight to heaven

Hold tight
It’s just you and me
Saddled up
We’re always rolling free
You are
My love my guy
And we
Will never say goodbye

One down and four up
Feeling through turns we’re leaning from side to side
One down and four up
There are no seatbelts on this E-ticket ride
One down and four up
Feeling through turns we’re leaning from side to side
One down and four up
There are no seatbelts on this E-ticket ride
One down and four up
Feeling through turns we’re leaning from side to side
One down and four up
There are no seatbelts on this E-ticket ride

Broken (lyrics and music by Kim L. Smith)

It’s all too much for me to take
I knew a soul could break
No godly revelation there
But you surprised me still
I wasn’t certain until now

I’ll never laugh again
And in the end (friend)
It wasn’t meant to be this way
But I’ve had enough
Of this modern and fickle love

Cause I’m broken
Yeah I’m dying
No more crawling
No more crying
Cause I’m broken
Yeah you broke me
And I’m falling
Can’t you fix me?

If I could just step back in time
I’d tell you how I felt inside
So many things I should have said
Like how I hated you
And how I loved you too

Did you intend
To lie to me again? (friend)
It wasn’t meant to end this way
And I’ve had enough
Of this modern and fickle love

Cause I’m broken…

I’ve had enough…

Cause I’m broken

This is the song I first heard on Kim’s MySpace profile that screamed, “This is the voice of Lindy for my novel!” Cheers! Mark
