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 Lyrics and music written 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 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 Music and lyrics written by Shane Axelrod Written for Sarah and Irving Axelrod 🙏🏻

“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 Lyrics and music written 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 Lyrics and music written 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 Lyrics and music written by Shane Axelrod

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 Lyrics By Shane Axelrod Music by Jason Davis

“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 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 Lyrics and Music Written By Shane Axelrod

I wrote this song as the towers on 911 were falling down. DON'T FUCK WITH AMERICA ✊🏼🇺🇸 RIP to all the innocent people that died on 911! I hope all the terrorist that died that day rot in hell as they are buttfucked everyday by satin!

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 Lyrics and music written by Shane Axelrod
