Story behind the song:
I wrote "Take a Chance With Me" for my girlfriend Christy, I have never been the best at writing love songs but she makes it easy.
Take a Chance with Me
They say it’s better to have loved and lost
Then never loved at all
When I saw you love was all I could see
Now here I stand with my heart in my hand
Hoping you’ll take that chance with me
I’d give up everything for a second of your love
And give it back for eternity
If you choose you have nothing to lose
So take a chance with me.
Take a chance with me
It just might be
If we don't try will never know
Take a chance with me
And we can see
How far forever can go.
Love is worth the risk
Of losing yourself
In some else's heart
If that's what they say
I don’t mind losing my way
Finding was the best part
So what will you do
When love calls for you
Let's see what could be
Here I am with my heart in my hand
Will you take a chance with me
Chorus
For Christy
Music and lyrics by KenMcCoy Feb 2 2021
Thanks Mom
You were there to lift me up every time that I fell down
Then you taught me to pick myself up off of the ground
Every time you cheered me on in everything I did
You weren’t afraid to show your pride
And yell hey that’s my kid.
Thanks Mom you’re always there for me.
Sharing your love unconditionally
You helped me to be everything that I’ve become.
From the bottom of my heart thanks Mom.
You held my hand when my whole world fell apart
told me I would be ok from my first broken heart
You told me I could fly and chase my dreams everyday
You showed me life’s an open road then let me find my own way
Thanks Mom you’re always there for me.
Sharing your love unconditionally
You helped me to be everything that I’ve become.
From The bottom of my heart thanks Mom.
When I left home you must of thought I didn’t need you anymore
I sure it must of broke your heart when I walked out the door
There are times when I don’t call cause life gets in the way
Just remember you’re always with me every single day
Thanks Mom you’re always there for me.
Sharing your love unconditionally
You helped me to be everything that I’ve become.
From the bottom of my heart thanks Mom.
From the bottom of my heart…thanks Mom

Story behind the song
Thanks Mom was obviously written for my Mom. I have to thank Dave Harris an old guitar of mine for the idea behind writing this song . He wrote a song called give them their flowers, the meaning behind his song was show someone you appreciate them before they are gone. So give them there flowers now not after so they can't enjoy them.
So I wanted to give my mom her flowers now. ( My mom is fine she's not dying). So that's why I wrote Thanks Mom.
Better Than This
I'm a country boy homegrown
I don't even own a cell phone
There's no cable here or Internet
I live out in the back woods
I'm a little misunderstood
I can show you a time you won't forget
So leave your big city lights and your troubles behind
Cause out here your worries are no big deal
Sit back and relax and betcha find
A little taste of what is real
Chorus
We got moonshine, apple pie
Stars lighting up the sky
It's something that you don't want to miss
We got hound dogs, shot guns
Skinny dipping, git er done
It's Bona fide country bliss
Life don't get any better than this
We got hardcore sweat tea
Goodyear hanging from a tree
Bare footin it all day long
Them catfish jumpin'
ZZTop is a thumpin'
we know all the words to every song
There's no need to take the 4 wheel down to the lake
Just Open the back door and jump right in
We ain't gotta a lot but we got
Will make your head spin
we got
Chorus
Bridge
If you need to get back to roots
let down your hair and kick off your boots
Throw on some jeans and untuck that shirt
follow that highway till it turns to dirt
And some
Chorus
The Story Behind the Song
This Song actually started out as a joke. Steve Ohe the co writer on this song and I were talking about how all the new country songs on the radio sounded like someone trying to rewrite Fishin in the Dark. So we thought we would give it shot for fun. We gave the song a swampy feel and it turned out pretty good. The lyrics are a little tongue a cheek but it works lol
The Story Behind the Song :
Anyone who has ever been to Mexico knows you can become addicted to it very easily. Sometimes you go and you never want to leave. That's what this songs about. Getting away from it all and not wanting to go home. But we always do.
Addicted to Mexico
I’m addicted to Mexico
I can't help it I got to go
It's adios to the cold and snow
I’m addicted to Mexico
Yeah I’m addicted to Mexico
Cancun or ol Cabo
Now It's Hasta luego
Me voy a Mexico
Last thing I remember I was boarding the plane
Heading for some fun in the sun
everything getting too insane
And Mexico was a good place to run
Now I'm sitting by the pool just soaking it in
NoBody here takes no mind to me
I’m suckin on a little tequila and lime
Thinking this is how life should be
Chorus
I’m is hooked on the sun
And that Ocean breeze
I'm getting high off that warm salt air
Those senoritas are giving me the shakes
Think I'm headed for intensive care
Mexico has become my itch
the side effects I didn't foresee
if I don’t head home soon
This overdose just might kill me
Chorus
Half chorus

Story Behind the Song:
The one person who has held me back the most is myself. Ive always had a hard time believing in myself like I'm sure a lot of musicians do. That is what this song is about.
Hold on Me
Hold on Me
I’m going down to the Railway Junction gonna Hop a train and roll away
Gonna leave this town Far behind me Will I return ? Well maybe someday
Gonna see the world and find my fortunes
Live by the sea and watch the sun go down Gonna find all my dreams at the end of this dirt road
Now if I could only find the nerve to leave this town
Chorus
This towns gotta hold on me
so many times I’ve tried to break free
I find it hard to believe
That is town’s gotta hold on me.
I was born just around the corner
on a street shaded by trees
I lose myself in Imagination
I would float home on a warm summer breeze
So many mountains that I could be climbing so many seas that I could sail
so many roads I could be walking
So many fears that I would fail
Chorus
I guess it’s time for me to face it
Where will I go where will I stay
so I’m going down to the Railway Junction in a hop a train and roll away
This town never had a hold on me I faced my fears and broke free I still can’t believe
I had a hold on me
I guess I had a hold on me.
Story Behind the Song :
I was talking to Christy on the phone and said I need you you're like a drug. The next day I wrote You're my Cocaine and I told her I wrote a new song and she new what it was before I played for her.
You're My Cocaine
You're my cocaine It's hard to explain
What you do to my soul Spins me out of control
You're a natural high a drug I can't buy
You run thru my veins Making me go insane
You're my cocaine
I Get stoned on your love
I've become addicted to you.
I only took one hit
Now there's nothing that I can do
You've got me hooked
With no desire to be freed
Your all I want
And everything I'll ever need
Chorus
Bridge
You got me under your thumb
I'm feeling a little bit numb
I can never get enough
I want overdose on your love
Chorus
