“Better Days” By lyrics and music Shane Axelrod
Better Days
Sitting back here today
Don’t know where I went array
But I can’t live this way
Don’t know where I went so wrong
And I feel I don’t belong
I can’t be this strong
Looking back once again
Where I seem to lost my friends
I don’t know where I went wrong
So I’m just
Riding around in an old black truck
Going to church to keep from looking down
And only looking up
Praying to God
For some better days
Promise him
I’m going to change my ways
Change my ways
Just need some
Better days
Life’s just seem to go so wrong
It’s all turned into a country song
Stuck here in my wicked ways
I’m out here trying to cleanse my soul
And get out of this darkened hole
And hope God saves my days
Get down on my knees and pray
Hoping things go my way
I just need some better days
So I’m just
Riding around in an old black truck
Going to church to keep from looking down
And only looking up
Praying to God
For some better days
Promise him
I’m going to change my ways
Change my ways
Just need some
Better days
Life ain’t gone my way
That I hoped and prayed
I just need to be saved
Cause I’m
Riding around in an old black truck
Going to church to keep from looking down
And only looking up
Praying to God
For some better days
Promise him
I’m going to change my ways
Change my ways
Just need some
Better days
Riding around in an old black truck
Going to church to keep from looking down
And only looking up
Praying to God
For some better days
Promise him
I’m going to change my ways
Change my ways
Just need some
Better days

“Family Strong” music and lyrics by Shane Axelrod
“Family Strong”
Living next-door to family
In a small little town
Ain’t nothing going on
Except a cookout going down
We always count our blessings
For all the Lord provides
We always show our faith
And never let it hide
Cuz around here
We got nothing but pride
Never dwell on
All that goes wrong
Cuz around here
We’re Family Strong
Got a family cemetery
With them all up in a row
And when it’s my time
I know just where I’ll go
Got many generations
All within a mile
And when we see our neighbor
It’s followed by a smile
Got a family sense of tightness
That no one can divide
Cuz around here
We got nothing but pride
Never dwell on
All that goes wrong
Cuz around here
We’re Family Strong
Country kind of livin
Small town kind of life
Country kind of livin
Small town kind of life
Country kind of livin
Small town kind of life
Cuz around here
We got nothing but pride
Never dwell on
All that goes wrong
Cuz around here
We’re Family Strong
Never dwell on
All that goes wrong
Cuz around here
We’re Family Strong
Never dwell on
All that goes wrong
Cuz around here
We’re Family Strong

“Free Rent” music and lyrics written by Shane Axelrod
My grandparents have been on my mind a lot lately so I thought I would play the song I wrote about them. They are the only example I’ve ever known in my life of true love 🖤🙏🏻.
“Free Rent”
Looking back at the time
That we spent
Happy in love
Hasn’t always been easy
But look at what we made it through
And what we become
Call me your husband
I’ll call you my wife
And we’ll have a beautiful life
And you’ll always hold
Free rent in my heart
For the rest of our
For the rest of our lives
Once upon a time
I met this girl
She came in my life
An she wrecked my world
Couldn’t live without her
So I put a ring on her hand
An she made me an honest man
Looking back at the time
That we spent
Happy in love
Hasn’t always been easy
But look at what we made it through
And what we become
Call me your husband
I’ll call you my wife
And we’ll have a beautiful life
And you’ll always hold
Free rent in my heart
For the rest of our
For the rest of our lives
Time flies by
When you’re by my side
An I swell up
With all of this pride
An I wouldn’t change
Wouldn’t change a single thing
About you
I’d only change your name
Looking back at the time
That we spent
Happy in love
Hasn’t always been easy
But look at what we made it through
And what we become
Call me your husband
I’ll call you my wife
And we’ll have a beautiful life
And you’ll always hold
Free rent in my heart
For the rest of our
For the rest of our lives
For the rest of our lives
For the rest of our lives

“East Of Omaha”
“East Of Omaha”
Wake up before the rooster crows
To hit these long roads
To make a paycheck before dawn
Hoping nothing goes wrong
On a four-day haul
Heading east of Omaha
Driving through the country at night
Watching them stars fall
Heading east of Omaha
Heading east of Omaha
Got bills stacking up
Life gets so tough
Got a family to support
So I drive port to port
On a four-day haul
Heading east of Omaha
Driving through the country at night
Watching them stars fall
Heading east of Omaha
Heading east of Omaha
I can’t wait
To drop this load
And head back home
To the place I know
And I love
Unconditionally
On a four-day haul
Heading east of Omaha
Driving through the country at night
Watching them stars fall
Heading east of Omaha
Heading east of Omaha
Heading east of Omaha

“Only Kin Knows These Roads” By Shane Axelrod
“Only Kin Knows These Roads”
Livin up north of
Bowling Green
In a little old town that
No one’s ever seen
Where the blue grass grows
And blows in the wind
Sit on the porch and
Smoke an drink with my kin
In them back roads where
Nobody ever goes
Only kin knows
Only kin knows these roads
Only kin
Knows these roads
Only kin
Knows these roads
Way back here
Only kin knows these roads
Used to go swimming
In the green river
With my cousins
Up to no good
Right there is where
Mamaw’s house stood
Used to play in
Uncle Billy Ray’s barn
Till the sun went down
Oh how I love
How I love this little town
Only kin
Knows these roads
Only kin
Knows these roads
Way back here
Only kin knows these roads
In this little town
My Papaw was murdered
And beat down
He left 11 kids
For Mamaw to raise
All by her self
She did a hell of a job
Only kin
Knows these roads
Only kin
Knows these roads
Way back here
Only kin knows these roads

“Far” By Shane Axelrod
“Far”
Sitting on my land
Looking at the stars
Folks didn’t think
That I go too far
But look at us
And where we are
Way out here
So far
From society
Just you and me
Way out in the country
Way out in the country
In the country
Folks didn’t think
I’d wind up to be much
So they just
Lost touch
They didn’t think
That I go too far
But look at
Where we are
So deep
In love
I guess the
Assumptions of
Me were flat out
Wrong
With them
I didn’t belong
It was always meant
To be
Just you and me
Way out in the country
Way out in the country
In the country
Way out in the country
In the country
In the country
Sitting on my land
Looking at the stars
Folks didn’t think
That I go too far
But look at us
And where we are
Way out here
So far
From society
Just you and me
Way out in the country

“Daddy’s Little Girl” by Shane Axelrod and Jason Davis
Daddy’s Little Girl
Will this be our last day at home
Could you see all that daddy’s done
To be here with you along by your side
Swelling up from you with all this pride
With all this pride
With your hand in mine
See the sun and will shine again
Till the end
The sun will shine again
On daddy’s little girl
On daddy’s little girl
Watching you grow up in front of my eyes
Makes me sit back and realize
Nothing will ever be as it was
Left here alone just, just because
Alone just because
With your hand in mine
See the sun and will shine again
Till the end
The sun will shine again
On daddy’s little girl
On daddy’s little girl
We will be apart one day
When you grow up and move away
Daddy’s little girl
Daddy’s little girl
Daddy’s little girl
Daddy’s little girl
Daddy’s little girl

“Project Car” By Shane Axelrod
“Project Car”
Got 2 collecting dust sitting in the garage
And another 5 collecting webs in the front yard
And another sitting up on the back of that trailer
That I just pulled in early this morning
At the crack of dawn
Because
I got another project waiting on me
Foot on the floor 3 on the tree
Pop the clutch and mash the gas
Let’s get this old bucket hauln ass
Or will it just be
Another project car dust dream
I got an old lady looking down on me
And she don’t seem to be much too happy
We don’t need another project car
Sitting up in this old yard
And I’m sitting in this dog house
So damn happy
Because
I got another project waiting on me
Foot on the floor 3 on the tree
Pop the clutch and mash the gas
Let’s get this old bucket hauln ass
Or will it just be
Another project car dust dream
Heading down this old road
Looking in backyards for rusted gold
Seeing some thing I need bad
Always a deal to be had
I got another project waiting on me
Foot on the floor 3 on the tree
Pop the clutch and mash the gas
Let’s get this old bucket hauln ass
Or will it just be
Another project car dust dream
Or will it just be
Another project car dust dream

“1776” By Shane Axelrod
🇺🇸 “1776” 🇺🇸
Brothers and sisters
Sons and daughters
Mothers and fathers
They fought for this land
They gave the ultimate sacrifice
So we could be free
And live our lives
They spelt their blood
Onto these soil’s
As the snake coils
Don’t tread on me
We the people
We fought for this land
Fought for this country
And Fought for this flag
We the people
We’re caught in this mix
Since 1776 🇺🇸
Death on our door
But we come back for more
We shoulder the pain
That comes with it all
We would give our lives
So our grandkids could be free
Don’t tread on me
We the people
We fought for this land
Fought for this country
And Fought for this flag
We the people
We’re caught in this mix
Since 1776 🇺🇸
We the people
We fought for this land
Fought for this country
And Fought for this flag
We the people
We’re caught in this mix
Since 1776 🇺🇸

“Fight” By Shane Axelrod
“Fight”
How did I get here again
On top of these lies
Fighting off all these demons
That I keep inside
Please tell me
That you will
Stay and fight
Please tell me
That you will
Stay and fight
One more night
One more night
We both know
How this will end
Yet we still try
Living on our emotions
And giving up our pride
Please tell me
That you will
Stay and fight
Please tell me
That you will
Stay and fight
One more night
One more night
Please tell me
That you will
Stay and fight
Please tell me
That you will
Stay and fight
One more night
One more night
One more

“Without You” By Shane Axelrod
This is a song about suicide please call or text 988 to the national suicide prevention hotline if you or someone you know is needing help 🙏🏻
“Without You”
Love will take you for a ride
Tears down all of your pride
Leaves you dark and alone
Left with no loving home
All that, that you do
Just leaves me more screwed
Here dark and alone
Left with no loving home
Would this be
Could this be
True if I didn’t have you
Would this be
Could this be
True if I couldn’t live without you
Tore up from the floor up
Can’t get out this funk
Can’t live dark and alone
Here with out a loving home
Would this be
Could this be
True if I didn’t have you
Would this be
Could this be
True if I couldn’t live without you
Would this be
Could this be
True if I couldn’t have you
Would this be
Could this be
True if I couldn’t live without you

“This Old Truck” By Shane Axelrod
“This Old Truck”
Headin down this old road
Without a place to go
Wishin you were here with me
In the middle of this bench seat
In this old truck
Wishin I had your love
In this old truck
Is where I lost your love
We had a fight that day
Things will never be the same
You jumped out the truck
Turned around and said good luck
In this old truck
Wishin I had your love
In this old truck
Is where I lost your love
One arm out the window
As the wind blows on me
The smell of the mountains
But you’re still not here with me
In this old truck
Is where I lost your love
In this old truck
Is where I lost your love

“Time With You” music and lyrics by Shane Axelrod
“Time With You”
Watch the sun creeping through
This window seal at you
It’s a sight to be seen
Watching peeling off those jeans
To me, you’re everything
My everything
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
Except for live my life without you
Live my life here in bliss
From your beautiful kiss
Nothing I wouldn’t do
Except for give up my time with you
Watch the days going by
As they start to fly
Right on by
I’m wanting them to last
But they’re going by too fast
As we build our past
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
Except for live my life without you
Live my life here in bliss
From your beautiful kiss
Nothing I wouldn’t do
Except for give up my time with you
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
Except for give up one second with you
I’m only here to see it through
And live my life here in bliss
From your beautiful
From your beautiful
From your beautiful
Your beautiful kiss
Your beautiful kiss

"Would" Music and Lyrics by Shane Axelrod
“Would”
Would you live here in my arms
For the rest of our days 
Would you be here when I’m wrong
And let me know that you’ll stay 
Would you be here forever
If not please just let me know 
Would you be here forever
If not please just let me go 
Please just let me go 
Would you be here in the dawn
Or will I wake up and you’re gone 
Would you be here when we’re old
With many stories to be told
Would you be here forever
If not please just let me know
Would you be here forever
If not please just let me go
Please just let me go
Please just let me go 
Would you be here forever
If not please just let me know
Would you be here forever
If not please just let me go
Please just let me go
Would you be here too long
For the rest of our days 
Would you be here when I’m gone
And lay a black rose on my grave

“Colorado Girl” lyrics and music by Shane Axelrod
“Colorado Girl”
Would you be
here at the end of the day
Waiting here for me
Could you see
Me through the end
of this journey
And be
My Colorado girl
Livin in
this Rocky Mountain world
Would you be
My Colorado Girl
Without a doubt in the world
Would you be
Here for eternity
So I could look at you
How could you think
I would ever leave
Here without you
Cause your
My Colorado girl
Livin in
this Rocky Mountain,
Rocky Mountain world
Would you be
My Colorado Girl
Without a doubt in the world
Could you see all that I’ve give up
To be here with you
Could you see all that I’ve been living through
And what it means
Cause your
My Colorado girl
Livin in
this Rocky Mountain,
Rocky Mountain world
Would you be
My Colorado Girl
Livin in this Rocky Mountain,
Rocky Mountain
World
This Rocky Mountain
World
This Rocky Mountain World

"80 Miles Outside Nashville Tennessee" lyrics and music written by Shane Axelrod
"80 Miles Outside Nashville Tennessee"
The neon lights, they glow so bright
Turn it to day, in the middle of the night
Can't see a star, in sight
Living 80 miles outside of Nashville Tennessee
Out in the country away from cities
80 Miles Outside Nashville Tennessee
Sit in your traffic lights and you wait
Wasting hours every single day
Living 80 miles outside of Nashville Tennessee
Out in the country away from cities
80 Miles Outside Nashville Tennessee
Couldn't live this way, crowded everyday
Couldn't live this way
Be like doing time, locked in my mind
Couldn't live this way
Country life is the only way
Living 80 miles outside Nashville Tennessee
Living 80 miles outside Nashville Tennessee
Out in the bluegrass of Kentucky
80 Miles Outside Nashville Tennessee

"2 Drinks And A Wink" By Shane Axelrod
Song I wrote from a phrase I heard Michael Knowles say that "Every man is 2 drinks and a wink from burning down his whole life."
“2 Drinks And A Wink”
This old fool works
So damn hard
With two jobs and a wife
And the kids
And the dog
And a house that’s just right
Work so damn hard
Just to give it
All away
Went out with the boys
On that fateful day
And this is how
He gave it away
With 2 drinks and a wink
From her over there
Followed up by
One long awkward stare
He’s ready and willing
To give it all away
And burn down his life
That day
He don’t know
What he let go
But he’s gonna find out so
He don’t know
All of the pain
That he will gain
When she changes his name
And takes his kids
And his dog
All over this
One single day
And this is how
He gave it away
With 2 drinks and a wink
From her over there
Followed up by
One long awkward stare
He’s ready and willing
To give it all away
And burn down his life
That day
Burn down his life
That day
Burn down his life
All in one day
This is how
He gave it away
2 drinks and a wink
From her over there
Followed by
One long awkward stare
He’s ready and willing
To give it all away
And burn down his life
That day
And burn down his life
That day
