    Just That Simple Lyrics

    One thing I like about him,He keeps it real just like GrandmaI can trust himJust that simpleHe says exactly what he feelsHe’s doing the right thingBack up off him!Just that simple

    Grandma said itIf you take a life,You do lifeJust that simpleGrandma said itIf you do harsh crimeYou do harsh timeJust that simple

    Talk about normsBut flout them all overBeing gross is a choiceJust that simple.Join in the absurdityTroll away and awayWe don’t fall for that crapJust that simple

    Grandma said itIf you take a life,You do lifeJust that simpleGrandma said itIf you do harsh crimeYou do harsh timeJust that simple

  • We Love Our Dogs - A Country Song
    Feb 19 2026

    The recent controversy about dogs and the choices we make are echoed in this new country song, We Love Our Dogs. Listen in, and enjoy!

    We Love Our Dogs Lyrics

    If they force us to choose,They lose.The choice between dogsAnd trogs and hogs and frogsAnd almost any other thingIs not a big swing.It’s not a difficult choice at all.You don’t need a brawlTo settle the choice.We all speak with one voice.

    We love dogs, all sorts of houndsAnd you can’t give us any groundsTo say goodbye to our muttsBecause, put simply, that’s just nuts!

    We love our dogsOur canines and our cursWe love our pupsOur mongrels and our slursWe love our Buddies,Bucks, Fidos and MaxesFar more than any stupid taxes.We love our Bellas,Lucys, Lunas and DaisysAgain, far more than any crazies.

    We love dogs, all sorts of houndsAnd you can’t give us any groundsTo say goodbye to our muttsBecause, put simply, that’s just nuts!

    Dogs have always been man’s best friendsAnd that love, that heart, will never end.You can’t convince us to drive our dogs outOf that there really is no doubt.Give up, go away,Don’t make our day.We play with our dogs.We sleep with our dogs.We feed and care for our dogs.We really do love our dogs.

    We love dogs, all sorts of houndsAnd you can’t give us any groundsTo say goodbye to our muttsBecause, put simply, that’s just nuts!

  • Valentine Love Song
    Feb 3 2026

    Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a pop song about love.

    This pop song is taken from Saint Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, 13:1-13. I used AI to create his letter as a pop song. I hope you like it.

    Saint Paul is truly a hero for our time, for past times, and for all times.

    Love Song Lyrics

    Love suffers long, and is kindLove envies notLove causes not a stirLove is not puffed upLove does not behave unseemlyLove seeks not its ownLove is not easily provokedLove thinks no evil

    Love does not rejoice in iniquityLove rejoices in the truthLove bears all thingsLove believes all thingsLove hopes all thingsLove endures all thingsLove never fails

    Where there are prophecies, they shall failWhere there are tongues, they shall ceaseWhere there is knowledge, it shall vanishFor we know in part, and we prophesy in partWhen the perfect comes, the part falls away

    When I was a childI spoke as a childI understood as a childI thought as a childWhen I became a manI put away childish things

    Now we see through a glass darklyBut then face to faceNow I know in partThen I will know as I am knownNow abides faith, hope, love — these threeBut the greatest of these is love

    Love bears all thingsLove believes all thingsLove hopes all thingsLove endures all thingsThere are three: faith, hope, and loveThe greatest of these is love
