LYRICS
1 When Pigs Fly

Words & Music by Donna Hughes

Jenee Fleenor-Fiddle, Harmony Vocals, Donna Hughes-Piano/Lead Vocal, Joel Key-Guitar

Flying Hound Publishing, BMI
I’m gonna miss you & think about you
I dream about you every night
You were kind to me, like an angel
You’re in my heart & on my mind
That’s not really even slightly true
You broke my heart a thousand times
You were the devil in disguise
And I’m gonna miss you

When Pigs Fly
I’ll think about you
When pigs fly
I’ll come back to you
I don’t need your heartache, I don’t need your lies
I’m gonna need you………when pigs fly

I don’t see them getting off the ground
Anytime real soon
They can make…… a big ole plane fly
Or put a man up on the moon
They sent a monkey into outer space
and he made it back just fine
But I’m not thinking that this will happen
I’m gonna miss you…

2 Wash Away
Words & Music by Donna Hughes
Jenee Fleenor-Fiddle, Joel Key-Guitar, Mandolin

When my light begins to fade
And my journey has been made
When those I love have gone away
All my tears will wash away

When my work is done & debts are paid
No more cause to be afraid
No more time will slip away
All my tears will wash away

Wash away, wash away
The winding river by my grave
Sing a song, as you pray
That all your tears will wash away

When there’s nothing left to say
And I find no reason more to stay
Lay me in a hillside grave
& All my tears will wash away

You’ll think of all the things I gave
I did not cry my tears in vain
I lived to learn from all my pain
All my tears will wash away

Wash away, wash away
The winding river by my grave
Sing a song, as you pray
That all your tears will wash away

Wash away, wash away
Beneath the gently falling rain
Like all the things my hands have made
All my tears will wash away
Beneath the gently falling rain
All my tears will wash away
All my tears will wash away

3 Wonderwall
A Cover Tune originally Released by Oasis
Written by Noel Gallagher
Jenee Fleenor-Fiddle, Donna Hughes-Piano/Lead Vocals, Jack Gorham-Piano

Today is gonna be the day
That they’re gonna throw it back to you
By now you should’ve somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don’t believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now

Backbeat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I’m sure you’ve heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don’t believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don’t know how

Because maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you’re my wonderwall

And all the roads that lead you there are winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don’t know how
I said maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you’re my wonderwall
I said maybe, you’re gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you’re my wonderwall
I said maybe

4 Don’t Waste It
Words & Music by Donna Hughes

Flying Hound Publishing, BMI
Jenee Fleenor-Fiddle, Donna Hughes-Piano/Lead Vocal, Joel Key-Guitar

The sunshine will embrace you, if you let it
You only live once, don’t forget it
You’ve got one heart
You’ve got one mind
Don’t waste it

Love will stick around, if you give it
Life can be good, if you live it
You’ve got one heart
You’ve got one mind
Don’t waste it

Are you dying to live?
Are you living to die?
Do you stop to look around?
Or let it all go by?
Do you wait to love
After it’s gone
Are you letting go, or hanging on?
You’ve got one life
This is your time
Don’t waste it

You can’t take it with you, so leave it
You have all you need, if you believe it
You’ve got one heart
You’ve got one mind
Don’t waste it

Don’t numb the pain, just feel it
The pain has to hurt, for God to heal it
You’ve got one heart
You’ve got one mind
Don’t waste it

5 Nothing Else Matters
A Cover Song Released by Metallica
Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich
Jenee Fleenor-Fiddle, Donna Hughes-Piano/Lead Vocal, Jack Gorham-Piano

So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close, no matter how far
It couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

6 Burning Bridges
Words & Music by Donna Hughes

Flying Hound Publishing, BMI

Jenee Fleenor-Fiddle, Donna Hughes-Piano/Lead Vocal, Joel Key-Guitar

This journey we call life
Always getting older
Wisdom comes with a price
Your heart, it just grows colder

Friends you love will come and go
Gone for different reasons
They get inside your heart
Then they let go and leave you

We spend half our lives
Living in the past
We spend the other half
Trying to make things last
Many restless nights
Making wishes
Leaving friends behind
And burning bridges

Why can’t things remain
Why do they have to end
We give our best in vain
Still to find we’ve lost a friend
The rain will come and go
Just like those we love
Some will not return
And leave us hanging on

We spend half our lives
Living in the past
We spend the other half
Trying to make things last
Many restless nights, Making wishes
Leaving friends behind And burning bridges

Leaving friends behind And burning bridges
