#3 Why You Blue?
by Steve Marshall Cohen
Copyright 2014

(To a rock-a-billy beat)

Chorus:

Aint lost your job
Aint lost your girl
Aint lost your dog

So why you blue?

My paycheck’s pretty OK
Clears the bank - I get decent pay
And outside it’s a beautiful day
So why’m I so blue?

            Chorus

My girl is hot, I love how she sways

She got sexy eyes and legs for days
And she loves me true, so she says
So why’m I so blue?

Chorus

My dogs a drooler, his name is ol’ Rick
Wags his tongue - loves to slobber and lick
Chases rabbits and catches ‘em quick
So why’ I got the blues?

Chorus

Gonna tell you the sad news
‘Bout what’s got me down and blue
Some dumbass joker without a clue
Went and stepped on my blue suede shoes!

#2 Wal-Mart Mama
by Steve Marshall Cohen
Copyright 2014

(To a country rhythm)

Oh I love my Wal-Mart mama
Oh I love my Wal-Mart mama
She goes shopping in her pajama
She goes shopping in her pajama

(background vocal): And what did she come to buy?

She got a cart full of cheese whiz and blonde hair dye
Cart’s piled high with bacon, chips and cherry pie
Cases of  Banquet Coors for her guy
Jerkys and turkeys and now you know why…

Oh, I love my Wal-Mart mama
She goes shopping in her pajama
She’s my Wal-Mart mama
She shops in fuzzy slippers and her pajama!

(background vocal): And what did she come to buy?

She buyin’ a tablecloth? – no, it’s a sweater!
Whatever she wants – you’d better let her!
Whatever she points at – you just go get ‘er
Watch them boys – they just wanna hit ‘er

Oh, She looks very cool in the checkout line

Too many items – she can’t count to nine!
She’s in no hurry – yeah, she takes her time
That big ole’ Wal-Mart mama of mine!

#1 Toss My Keys

By Steve Marshall Cohen

Toss My Keys
(to a blues beat)

I saw you toss my keys, baby
Yeah, I saw you toss my keys
Leavin’ the bar, into the trees
I saw you toss my keys
background vocals: (So I know you won’t be comin’ home)

I saw you call your man, baby
Yeah, I saw you call your man
Near my car, where you threw the keys
I saw you call your man
(So I know you won’t be comin’ home)

I saw you drive away, baby
Yeah, I saw you peel away
Wasn’t my car, but you had the keys
I saw you speed away
(So I know you won’t be comin’ home)

You said that you love me, baby
You said it was just you and me
But now I know you're just a tease,

'cause I saw you toss my keys.
(So you aint welcome home)
