Rosie (Jackson Browne) By David Hubbard


Rosie (Jackson Browne) By David Hubbard
She was standing at the load-in when the trucks rolled up
She was sniffing all around like a half-grown female pup
She wasn't hard to talk to, looked like she had nowhere to go
So I gave her a pass so she could get in to see the show.


I sat her down right next to me and I got her a beer
While I mixed that sound on the stage so the band could hear
The more I watched her watch me play, the less I thought of to say
And when they walked offstage the drummer swept that girl away.


Rosie, you're all right, you wear my ring
When you hold me tight, Rosie, that's my thing
When you turn out the light I got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie.


Well, I guess I might have known from the start she'd come for a star
But I told my imagination not to run too far
Of all the times that I've been burned, by now you'd think I'd learn
That it's who you look like, not who you are.


Rosie, you're all right, you wear my ring
When you hold me tight, Rosie, that's my thing
When you turn out the light I got to hand it to me
Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie.

World Love, Magnetic Fields, David Hubbard

World Love, Magnetic Fields, David Hubbard


World Love, Magnetic Fields, David Hubbard

When the rhythm calls the government falls Here come the cops 
From Tokyo to Soweto viva la musica pop We are black & white 
and we dance all night down at the hop and the letters were tall 
on the Berlin Wall viva la musica pop so if you're feeling low 
stuck in some bardo I, even I know the solution 
love, music, wine and revolution love, love, love music, wine and revolution 
This too shall pass so raise your glass to change and chance 
and freedom is the only law shall we dance...

You’re The Only Star In My Blue Heaven, David Hubbard

You’re The Only Star In My Blue Heaven
Songwriter:  Gene Autry


You're the only star in my blue heaven
And you're shining just for me
You're the only star in my blue heaven
And in dreams your face I see

You're the shining light that brightens up the night
Till you came in sight my heart was lonely
You're the only star in my blue heaven
And you're shining just for me

You're the shining light that brightens up the night
Till you came in sight my heart was lonely
You're the only star in my blue heaven
And you're shining just for me
And you're shining just for me

Josie, Kris Kristofferson, By David Hubbard



Josie, Kris Kristofferson, By David Hubbard

I’ve been chasing after Josie since the day I could run
Even though I didn't know it at the time
And I followed her from Texas 'til she found me undone

Just a jump ahead of what I left behind.
She was proud of her young body as a body could be
On her way to be a woman of the world
And I still can see her smiling as she gave it to me
Lookin' like a lonesome little girl.

Chorus:
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet

Well, she loved me back to livin' at a time I was lost
With the closest thing to love I've ever known
And she led me through some bridges I was burnin' to cross
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own.

Now the road's a little colder every time that I leave
For another empty place I've never been
And I don't suppose it's likely that she's lookin' for me
But someday I may just chase her down again.

Chorus:
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet

He Stopped Loving Her Today, Performed By David Hubbard


"He Stopped Loving Her Today" is the title of a song by American country music artist George Jones that has been named in several surveys as the greatest country song of all time.[1] It was released in April 1980 as the lead single from the album I Am What I Am. The song was Jones's first No. 1 single in six years. The melancholy song was written by Bobby Braddock and Curly Putman.




He Stopped Loving Her Today
Written by R. V. Braddock and C. Putman, Jr.

He said I'll love you 'til I die
She told him you'll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single I love you

I went to see him just today
Oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years

(Chorus)
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

(Spoken)
You know she came to see him one last time
Oh and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good

(Chorus)
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

Shoes Had Laces, written by Matt Clark.


Shoes Had Laces, written by Matt Clark.
Performed by Matt, Rowan and Quillan Clark, 
Gerry, Hayden and Elise Hubbard


Pop Pop writes a blog about the things he’s seen and done How things have changed since olden days when he was very young
We didn’t have a Wii says he but we still had some fun
Yes things were very different when my Pop Pop was young

Shoes had laces, clock had hands and faces
You didn’t take your phone when you went to different places
The phone was attached to the wall
And didn’t do anything but call

Things were different when my dad was a kid at least that’s what he said
The phone numbers for all his friends were stored up in his head
They used a giant paper map instead of being led
By a gps but I would guess they just stayed home instead

Shoes had laces, clock had hands and faces
You didn’t take your phone when you went to different places
The phone was attached to the wall
And didn’t do anything but call

Shoes had laces, clock had hands and faces
You didn’t take your phone when you went to different places
The phone was attached to the wall
And didn’t do anything but call
