Dewey's Ditties

This is an AI production remix from my origianl demo. Lyrics and melody are 100% mine.

Once I wandered, wandered aimlessly

Never knowing which way to turn

I chose the path of destruction

And that’s so easy to do here on earth

Though I knew your name I never proclaimed that you were my heart and soul

But now that I know you’re my Savior, show me the way to go

SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO dear Lord / SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO

To the left or the right, by day or by night / Do I go fast or take it slow?

SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO dear Lord / SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO

I’m lost without your direction / SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO

Vice or virtue, sin or salvation

Are daily choices we make

With Christ as our compass the course is clear

On which road we should take

Heaven is our destination but we’ll never make it there alone

The Trinity will guide us to the other side to live in our heavenly home

REPEAT CHORUS

Growing up I was known as quite the rebel

Fought against everything I knew was good

Tempted fate with my body and spirit

Cracked my head open more than the Good Book

Now look at me today winning at life

Not even sure how I survived

I was blessed to make it through

All the wrong turns and bitter truths

After years of bad decisions I somehow landed on my feet

Someone up in Heaven must've PULLED SOME STRINGS

While I was learning to learn from my failures

Small errors became big mistakes

They led me off the road less traveled

But I got back on track anyway

I used to give lady luck the credit

For righting the wrong way I was headed...but...

REPEAT CHORUS

I hope someday I'll meet the one who went out of their way

To make sure I didn't get what I deserved

REPEAT CHORUS

Yeah, Someone up in Heaven must've PULLED SOME STRINGS

Never seen this bar so crowded or heard it get so loud in here

I finally caught your name now that your lips are by my ear

We're like flint and steel slow dancing to the rhythm of the band

The sparks we're creating might soon get out of hand

IN CASE OF FIRE

No need to pull the alarm

Gotta let those flames of passion

Burn inside our hearts

I hear the hotter it gets the better it feels

Let’s not extinguish desire that could be real

IN CASE OF FIRE

I've witnessed time and again, when less than perfect matches

Start a blaze like it's a game until they’re charred right down to ashes

But we've got more than enough kindling and tinder

To keep the hearth of happiness burning forever

REPEAT CHORUS

It's heating up with all this kissin' and touchin'

So get ready for spontaneous combustion

REPEAT CHORUS

IN CASE OF FIRE

IN CASE OF FIRE

Our parents said we married too young

Thought our vows could never take it

Now twenty years have come and gone

And we're still acting like when we first dated

I'm sure there's a more romantic way

To paint a picture of our fate

But I'll draw on my trucking days

To explain our situation...

We're in it for the LONG HAUL

Cruising up and down love's road

Taking all the curves in stride

Lightenin' each other's load

We've tapped the brakes, got lost some days

But our hearts ain't ever stalled

We're in it for the LONG HAUL

Our honeymoon was me and you

In my brand-new tractor-trailer

After two weeks on the road with me

You did us both a favor

Made me quit my overnighters

Grew our family two kids wider

Helped us set our souls on fire

At the church up on the hill

REPEAT CHORUS

It was early in the spring as the daffodils bloomed in the fields

When I offered you a rose as a sign my feelings were real

But by the time the lilies blossomed my world was torn in two

You fell for another who fell in love with you

BROKEN HEART BOUQUET

Flowers of memories we made

A beautiful reminder how love slips away

BROKEN HEART BOUQUET

Saw your wedding picture on the front page local news

And it was worth a thousand words of hard, cold, bitter truth

You had daffodils and roses and lilies in your hand

As you promised to take him for your man

REPEAT CHORUS

Spring used to be my favorite time of year

Now when I see petals bloom

It reminds me of you

REPEAT CHORUS

WHAT YOUR BEER SAYS ABOUT YOU

You can work on your pickup lines till they roll right off your tongue

Get a tattoo cowgirls fall for when the neon lights turn on

You might even impress when you two-step in your fancy cowboy boots

But do you know WHAT YOUR BEER SAYS ABOUT YOU?

The label on the longneck your drinking

Is worth at least a thousand words

Telling all the women in the bar if you're

Worth their time to flirt

No brand is right, no brand is wrong but you can bet it's true

What your beer, WHAT YOUR BEER SAYS ABOUT YOU

Some guys think it's wise to hide the kinda brew they're drinking

Keep the women wond'rin' who they are and disguise their way of thinkin'

But if you wanna find someone who acts and thinks the way you do

Let 'em hear WHAT YOUR BEER SAYS ABOUT YOU

REPEAT CHORUS

You'll know in a heartbeat if she's your type of model

When you flash her...the front of your bottle

REPEAT CHORUS

Two thousand years ago near the City of David

A wond'rous star appeared one night

It guided magi to the place

Where Jesus lay in a crib of hay

That little bitty manger was a KING SIZE BED

For the Christ child born in Bethlehem

While the angels sang

The Shepherds prayed

To the baby in the KING SIZE BED

That lowly stable was a Holy Temple

As the newborn Savior rested there

The sheep and cattle even knew

The Word made Flesh was in full view

REPEAT CHORUS

No crown of gold or diadem

Was on the royal infant’s head...but

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

We didn't always toe the line and now I wonder how we'd be

If Dad didn't have the heart to correct us on his knee

When he wasn't pullin' double-shifts to pay the bills on time

He led us all in prayer before Mom turned out the lights

All his sacrifices kept our family goin'

And I'm glad he handed down that devotion

I'm DAD-ICATED to raising our kids

With tough love and hugs in a home where God lives

They know they can count on me

To be around when life gets complicated

I'm DAD-ICATED

It ain't easy watching mini-mes make their own mistakes

And sometimes I don't follow all the righteous words I say

But day after day I do the best I can

To listen, comfort, guide, and understand

And in a world that spreads hate like a cancer

I teach 'em love your neighbor's the answer

REPEAT CHORUS

If our children end up knowing the difference between joy and happiness

Then I'll proudly say I did my part to help them be their best

REPEAT CHORUS

Love being DAD-ICATED

She's at His house every Sunday

Got His name tattooed on her arm

She reads His book religiously

And glued His symbol on her car

If you know our Savior, then you wouldn't wonder

How her affection for Him makes our marriage so much stronger

She loves Jesus MORE THAN ME

And I wouldn't have it any other way

Her heart is mine but her soul is His eternally

Yeah, she loves Jesus MORE THAN ME

Her life's a double devotion

That she lives out every day

As a loving wife to me

And as a child of God when she prays

Lesser men might be offended

To have to share their angel's time and attention

REPEAT CHORUS

He died for her

He died for me

He rose from the dead

To set us free

REPEAT CHORUS

And that’s the way it should be

MORE THAN ME
