The Meaning of Meaningful
by Jeff Cooley
Verse:
I've been killing myself all week long
Working my fingers down to the bone
Now I'm headed home
This putting out fires and chasing deadlines
Is taking a toll and stealing all my time
I swear I'm losing my mind
So I'm gonna get back to the simple things, all the ones that mean so much to me
Chorus:
Like movie nights, piggy-back rides, waking up early to watch the sunrise
Calling my dad just to talk about the game
A little sweet talking, some porch swing rocking, holding hands with my baby as we go walking
Through the autumn leaves that fall on Fourth and Main
I can feel it running through my soul
The every day wonderful, life-changing meaning of meaningful
Verse 2:
Gonna put on my old baseball glove
Go outside and play catch with my son
You know it's what I love
Then climb up the stairs to Cinderella's room
Where a little girl waits in full costume
A tea party for two
The days are going by so fast, gotta do all I can to make these moments last
Chorus 2:
Hide-and-seek in the dark, a day at the park, slow hayrides out at Gentry's Farm
Lying around on a Sunday afternoon
Supper at the table without the cable, everybody washing dishes cause everybody's able
And the sound of laughter filling up the room
I can feel it running through my soul
The every day wonderful, life-changing meaning of meaningful
Bridge:
When the day is done, I thank God for the blessings in my lfie
Like the air I breathe, a home and a family
And another day just to be alive
Chorus:
And movie nights, piggy-back rides, waking up early to watch the sunrise
Calling my dad just to talk about the game
A little sweet talking, some porch swing rocking, holding hands with my baby as we go walking
Through the autumn leaves that fall on Fourth and Main
I can feel it running through my soul
The every day wonderful, life-changing meaning of meaningful
I can feel it running through my soul
The every day wonderful, life-changing meaning of meaningful
The every day wonderful, life-changing meaning of meaningful - Track Name: Back to the Front Porch

Back to the Front Porch
by Jeff Cooley
Verse:
Your tired brown eyes say it all
The day has won out and you're feeling so small
Sometimes there's just not enough
Of you to go around and that can be tough
You've been pushed on and trampled, left out in the cold
With the weight of the world weighing down on your soul
Chorus:
It's time to get back, back to the front porch
Where life moves slow, and less is more
You can lay your head down
It's what my shoulder is for
And love will find its way back to the front porch
Verse:
The fireflies will come out to dance
I'll be right here beside you, holding your hand
We'll rock our way into the night
Tracing the moon as it crosses the sky
Tell me your feelings, I'm here to listen
Open your heart girl it's what we've been missing
Chorus:
It's time to get back, back to the front porch
Where life moves slow, and less is more
You can lay your head down
It's what my shoulder is for
And love will find its way back to the front porch
Bridge:
When you need some time to leave all your worries behind
And all you want is a little peace of mind
Chorus:
It's time to get back, back to the front porch
Where life moves slow, and less is more
You can lay your head down
It's what my shoulder is for
And love will find its way back to the front porch
Where life moves slow, and less is more
You can lay your head down
It's what my shoulder is for
And love will find its way back to the front porch
Love will find its way back to the front porch - Track Name: Ducks

Ducks
by Jeff Cooley
Chorus:
Feeding the ducks, feeding the ducks
Got our baggies of bread and we're loading up the pick up truck
Not a cloud in the sky, looks like we're in luck
It's a perfect day for feeding the ducks
Verse:
There's a little old pond on Mr. Miller's place
Where the ducks like to waddle, paddle, and play
And the work and the bills and the worries just fade away
I gotta pony tailed girl and drooling baby boy
A fine looking mama whose my pride and joy
And a countryside of sunlight to enjoy
Chorus:
Feeding the ducks, feeding the ducks
Got our baggies of bread, sandwiches, and sippy cups
Throw a blanket down, have picnic lunch
On a perfect day for feeding the ducks
Bridge:
Walk to the water and toss in the bread
Here come the duckies full steam ahead
It's a quacking laughing good time
Verse:
We'll take off our shoes and roll up our jeans
Splash all around and walk through the reeds
As the sun goes down behind the Buckeye trees
When the ducks swim away, we'll wave goodbye
Tell 'em all "see ya next time"
Then head for home beneath the bright red sky
Chorus:
We fed all the ducks, We fed all the ducks
Our baggies of bread are gone and we're back in the truck
Little car seat smiles, so full of love
Life is good feeding the ducks
Life is good feeding the ducks
There's Mr. Miller's sign, the one I covered up
It says "Please Don't Feed the Ducks" - Track Name: Good Life

Good Life
by Jeff Cooley
Verse1
Hey pretty girl I've been thinking about a few things
A sky full of stars, a blanket, and a front porch swing
Cuddled up, cozy warm, watching the full moon rise
Yeah that's what I mean when I'm talking about a good life
Verse 2:
Well I drive an old truck but you know it don't bother me none
You're closer to me girl on a bench seat riding shotgun
Rolling down the back roads watching the world go by
Yeah that's what I mean when I'm talking about a good life
Chorus:
So go on and smile, let those pretty eyes shine
We aint got a lot honey but we're making it a day at a time
Just me and you, our own little paradise
And that's what I mean when I'm talking about a good life
Verse 3:
Every now and then our blue skies turn to grey
The hard days they come, but you know it's gonna be ok
Holdin' on together now facing it side by side
Yeah that's what i mean when i'm talking about a good life
Chorus:
So go on and smile, let those pretty eyes shine
We aint got a lot honey but we're making it a day at a time
Just me and you, our own little paradise
And that's what I mean when I'm talking about a good life
Chorus:
So go on and smile, let those pretty eyes shine
We aint got a lot honey but we're making it a day at a time
Just me and you, our own little paradise
And that's what I mean when I'm talking about a good life
Yeah that's what I mean when I'm talking about a good life
That's what I mean when I'm talking about a good life - Track Name: Hey Daddy

Hey Daddy
by Jeff Cooley
Verse:
She walks in beside the bed
Another sunrise Saturday
Holding her blanket and Mr. Bear
I know just what she's about say
Chorus:
Hey Daddy can I watch cartoons, climb up in bed with you,
Do you promise not to tickle me
Hey Daddy can I play outside, blow bubbles and ride my bike
Will you push me on the swing
And with just two little words
I'll do anything for her
Hey Daddy
Verse:
The day flies by on magic wings
So much to see so much to do
I watch the fairy tale unfold
Inside the castle in her room
Chorus:
Hey Daddy I'm Tinker Bell, Briar Rose, and Ariel
Snow White and Cinderella too
Hey Daddy here's your cup of tea, will you come and dance with me,
Let me stand up on your shoes
And with just two little words
I'll do anything for her
Bridge:
A million thoughts race through my mind as I tuck her in to bed
She's growing up so fast and I'm not ready yet
So I fight back the tears as she smiles at me and says
Chorus:
Hey Daddy will you blow me a kiss, tell me I'm your princess
Don't forget to read me Good Night Moon
Hey Daddy say sweet dreams, hey Daddy will you marry me
Hey Daddy I love you
