Country Songs

I should write songs about how David's car has broken down 5 times in the last month, but I just draw a blank, as it happened again today. Or maybe about the way it feels to see a 7 month old want to say Grammie when he sees me. Indescribable! Or about how oh-so-dear my family and friends are. And about answered prayers. But no. The light-hearted stuff has come more easily these days.

A few country lyrics were birthed one day last week, and my friend Tony Hartung is setting them to music! We'd appreciate your prayers, as he does some recording in the next few weeks. He doesn't have any music posted, but you can see him here http://www.shoutlife.com/tonyhartung

And here are the words to the new songs...critiques welcomed!!! It Ain't Always Easy, Me and Jesus, My Own Band...and then there's Run, Honey, Run...I think I'll wait and share that one once we have the music!

It Ain't Always Easy
(c)2009 Eva Wilson/Tony Hartung

It ain’t always easy ~ always bein’ right
Can hardly hold up my head all day, the sun is so bright
~ Shines right in my eyes
No, it ain’t always easy ~ always bein' right

It ain’t always easy ~ always bein' right
Me winnin’ every argument, you losing every fight
~A wimper and a whine
No, it ain’t always easy ~ always bein' right

It ain’t always easy ~ always bein' right
I gotta listen as you cry yourself to sleep each night
~While I hug my pillow tight
No, it ain’t always easy ~ always bein' right

It ain’t always easy ~ always bein' right
Seein’ ya beg me for forgiveness, Lord knows I’ll try
~Shug, you’re such a sight
No, it ain’t always easy ~ always bein' right

It ain’t always easy ~ always bein' right
Nuff said, I told you so, let me say it all polite
~You’re wrong all the time
No, it ain’t always easy ~ always bein' right



Me and Jesus
(c)2009 Eva Wilson/Tony Hartung

v1
Your boss says you didn’t show up, again
Then ev’ry day you make it to work, you’re late, you look so bad
You know no one ever could fill your shoes
Hey, Baby, you’ve got everything to lose

(So)
Me and Jesus ~ are praying day and night
Me and Jesus ~ are staying by your side
When everywhere you turn,
You feel you’re all alone
Remember who to call
Anytime at all
Me and Jesus

v2
Your phone went to voicemail, again
Well, I don’t know why I even try to care, can’t stop, I can’t
You know I wanna know that you’re ok
And maybe I’ve got a little more to say

(So)
Me and Jesus ~ are praying day and night
Me and Jesus ~ are staying by your side
When everywhere you turn,
You feel you’re all alone
Remember who to call
Anytime at all
Me and Jesus

bridge
Even if I don’t answer
Please know I wanted to
And this one thing’s for sure
The Lord is hanging on to you

(So)
Me and Jesus ~ are praying day and night
Me and Jesus ~ are staying by your side
When everywhere you turn,
You feel you’re all alone
Remember who to call
Anytime at all
Me and Jesus
