Buddy
Dropped out of school
Joined the Navy
After more than a decade
He came home to teach
America’s a long way
From those days in the Philippines
But worth every mile
To lay eyes on his Eileen
Eileen had raised a family
as a ranchers wife
She moved out of Oregon
When her husband died
Oregon isn’t easy
and no place for a widowed wife
So she packed up in search of
a better kind of life
A Draftsman and a Marksman he
knew how to shoot it straight
So he didn’t take it lightly
When God told
That him and
Eileen were meant to be
Eileen had no doubt
That they were both soul mates from the start
How could you not love a man
With such a kind giving heart
How could you not love a man
With such a kind giving heart
Chorus
They saved the best part for each other
Like chocolate covered cherries and Ice Cream
Making memories out on the highway
Living life like a movie scene
Not a bad ending
For Buddy & Eileen
No
Not a bad ending
For Buddy & Eileen
Between them they have
8 children, 20 grand children
9 great grandkids
and over 15 years of bliss
I guess if life was a movie
This would be one you shouldn’t miss
Chorus
They saved the best part for each other
Like chocolate covered cherries and
Ice Cream
Making memories out on the highway
Living like it was meant to be
Not a bad ending
For Buddy & Eileen
No
Not a bad ending
For Buddy & Eileen

I'm Sorry (Phyllis)
Written By Laurel Taylor and Bill Gray
Verse 1
5”2 and blonde. Yeah, not much more to say.
Eyes so blue, yeah you, could dance the night away.
I had a fun idea for you and me
We were young and dumb and so in love
I’d call it happy.
Then there were kids, yeah we, got through everytime
It was tough, but we pushed through that life.
I think that God had you here just for me.
If I had one more word,
I’d say sorry.
Chorus
Sorry for the way that I made you cry,
Sorry for the times that I chose them over you.
If I could go back, I’d try us again
over and over, if I just had the chance.
Verse 2
Yeah I’d put you first I’d be your biggest fan.
You’d take my hand and you would teach me how to dance.
With your best dress on, we would take on the town.
Oh, what I would do now to have you around.
Chorus
Sorry for the way that I made you cry,
Sorry for the times that I chose them over you.
If I could go back, I’d try us again
over and over, if I just had the chance.
Sometimes I wish that I could just rewind
Let it go or know what to hold on to.
I’ve lived a lot of life in my time,
But the part of me was always you.
5”2 and blonde. Yeah, not much more to say.
Eyes so blue, yeah you, could dance the night away.

Worth Fighting For

I was a tough kid from Portland
Who fell in love with Beverly
The only problem was her boyfriend
Who said he had a problem with me
He said meet me at the bottom of the
schoolhouse hill
And we’ll settle the score
It only took one punch and he knew
That she was worth fighting for
I used to dream of flying planes
Back when I was a child
I’d ride my bike down a runway
And just close my eyes
Wind in my hair arms stretched out
At an old run down airport
Then at 18 years old I signed up
For a dream worth fighting for
There were tracers in the sky
Fifty cals in the air
They might’ve missed me everytime
But every time I was scared
All the missions that I’ve flown
Escaping the devil’s door
You find out putting two wheels on the
ground
Is a fight worth fighting for
For seventy years we’ve been married
You could say that we are blessed
We survived three children, 6 grandkids
And fourteen presidents
We’ve gone thru hell and made it back
And bound to go thru more
But we’ll keep doing it together
Cuz it’s a love worth fighting for
They call me shorty
They call me Baron 02
But the best is when she takes my hand
And says I love you
87 years on this earth
God give me 20 more
Cuz I got a family, kids, a life I love
Worth fighting for
