4 Spare Chairs (aka Country Roads)

By Niccole Blaze, Rebecca Scott & Dan Costello

Driving down a country road
Heading off to a show
Through Montana we got a long way to go
Driving down a country road

We took the back road to the the sights
Out of all the heavy traffic and hot city lights
400 miles away I still get stage fright
Driving down that country roads

80 chairs in the middle of the field
4 to spare for more to share the yield
Bring the harvest let them reap what we sow
4 spare chairs down every road you go

George is setting up the stage
“these shows are tough” he said, in the rainy month of May
Miles and miles people drove
They drove and drove down those long country roads

80 chairs in the middle of the field
4 to spare for more to share the yield
Bring the harvest let them reap what we sow
4 spare chairs down every road you go

Sing our hearts out it’s worth the drive
A true reminder it’s good to be a live
Now every compass points to home
Driving down that country road

80 chairs in the middle of the field
4 to spare for more to share the yield
Bring the harvest let them reap what we sow
4 spare chairs down every road you go

Checker Board

By Niccole Blaze, Dan Costello & Rebecca Scott

Kings and Queens on the Checker Board
Double Jump, stack 'em high and set them up once more.
Red and Black and shades of gray, can't quite turn back the other way.
But it's your turn to play.

An upside-down checkerboard never left you wanting more,
and every match had it's own candle flame...
to the simple magic of the game.

Hop and skip and jump down the line.
No one's counting you can take your own, sweet time.
No clock to keep, no “sched” to keep when Kings and Queens meet.

An upside-down checkerboard never left you wanting more,
and every match had it's own candle flame...
to the simple magic of the game.

Oh bigger than a tic-tac-toe, not as black and white as Othello,
half the stress of a game of chess
Sets apart the simple from the rest
Simple from the rest!

An upside-down checkerboard never left you wanting more,
and every match had it's own candle flame...
to the simple magic of the game.

An upside-down checkerboard never left you wanting more,
and every match had it's own candle flame...
An upside-down checkerboard never left you wanting more,
and every match had it's own candle flame...
..to the simple magic of the game!

Convince Me

By Niccole Blaze, Dan Costello & Rebecca Scott

Yesterday I felt the world stop turning
when I told you what I had to say
The things that we revealed had our hearts churning
I’m hoping you’ll forgive me anyway

You don’t have to tell me that you’re sorry
We’ve been down that road before
You know I love you too much baby
Just to walk out that front door

Time changes, but my heart stays true to you
Don’t you know it’s what our love would choose to do?
And the days, they convince me
I just love you more, I just love you more
And the way that you kiss me, It just hits me
you convince me that I love you more and more

Something new for you’s not always better
and I know that we have had our time
I’m thankful for what we had together
Now I know that this love was never mine

Despite it all, the sun came up this morning
We had our chance to speak up and be true
We all need the love of one another
Maybe it’s time we see this love through

Time changes, but my heart stays true to you
Don’t you know it’s what our love would choose to do?
And the days, they convince me
I just love you more, I just love you more
And the way that you kiss me, It just hits me
you convince me that I love you more and more

Diggy Dog

I have a best friend yea, she’s one of a kind
She has four paws and a hairy behind yea

She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog yea
She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog!

She hangs her head out the window
When we go for rides
I tell her every thing, it’s her I confide in
She’s my dog

She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog yea
She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog!

I want to be, the person my dog sees yea

She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog yea
She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog!

We go for long walks and, she wags her tail
It’s a good thing she can’t talk or, I’d be in jail yea

She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog yea
She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog!

I want to know why, she circles around before lying down
I want to know why, she eats dirt and digs in the ground

She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog yea
She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog!

We all need to take a lesson from animals that sooth our aggression
Everybody needs a diggy diggy diggy...
everybody needs a diggy diggy diggy...
everybody needs a diggy diggy diggy DOG!!!!

I remember that Me

By Niccole Blaze, Rebecca Scott & Dan Costello

I remember that me,
the one that spent half the day with a guitar on my knee
Everything was clear, I could see
Oh I remember me.
Not enough hours in the day
To say everything I needed to say
Because I just needed to play
What's gotten in the way? yeah

I remember that me
when it wasn't so hard to feel free
Free to be that me, don't you see
We all want to be that me...

Got to let go, let myself flow
into a new day and a new way
say all the things I need to say

Oh I remember that me,
the one who spent all day with a guitar upon my knee.
Inspiration was the only thing I knew,
oh do you remember that you? ohhh!

I remember that me,
when it wasn't so hard to be free.
Free to be that me, don't you see.
We all want to be that me eee, eee eee

I remember that me (free to be that me)
Do you remember that you (free to be that you too)
I remember that me (free to be that me)
Do you remember that you (free to be that you too) X 3

Purple Carrot

By Niccole Blaze, Dan Costello & Rebecca Scott

What in the Sam Hill sits upon my plate?
I’d never believe it if you said it’s something that you ate
“Well that’s a purple carrot” she said with a smile
Here, have a few and crunch with me for a while

It could be anything you want, you see
As long as you want to spend some time with me
It could be anything you want, you see
As long as you want to spend some time with me

Jalapeno tater chips so crunchy and hot
Cold coffee in my cup all it needs is a shot
Riffin’ and a bondin with a tub of garlic olives
Getting back on track with something real and solid

It could be anything you want, you see
As long as you want to spend some time with me
It could be anything you want, you see
As long as you want to spend some time with me
