Dewey's DittiesBroken Heart Bouquet (deweys_ditties)It was early in the spring as the daffodils bloomed in the fields
When I offered you a rose as a sign my feelings were real
But by the time the lilies blossomed
My world was torn in two
You fell for another who fell in love with you
Broken heart bouquet
Flowers of memories we made
A beautiful reminder how love slips away
Broken heart bouquet
Saw your wedding picture on the front page local news
And it was worth a thousand words of hard, cold bitter truth
You had daffodils and roses
And lilies in your hand
As...

Dewey's DittiesYou Broke My Heart (Wide Open) Songwriters D. Longuski / S. ToddV1
Folks used to say my feelings were trapped
In a rock-solid ball that couldn't be cracked
All in all I guess it was true
Until your pretty face and charm chiseled through
Chorus
YOU BROKE MY HEART WIDE OPEN
And all my passion poured out
Now I'm dealing with a world of emotions
Learning what love is all about
Words of affection used to go unspoken
Till YOU BROKE MY HEART WIDE OPEN
V2
Now flowers smell sweeter and stars twinkle brighter
Long walks with you make my footsteps feel lighter
Every kiss from you is another lesson learned

Dewey's DittiesCOME HOME[Verse 1]
My life was broken
My spirit bruised
The world and all its troubles
Left me bitter and confused
Instead of seeking
His holy grace
I set out on my own
And my faith began to fade
When I closed the door to His light
Darkness settled in
Then a heartfelt invitation brought me back to Him again
[Chorus]
Come home
Bring your worries and cares
The ever-living God of love is waiting for you here
Come home
To the breaking of the bread
And worship with your family and friends
Come home
[Verse 2]
We're all sinners
In this church

Dewey's DittiesTouching GrassWe get home from work each night jump on our phones
Eat dinner together but it feels like we’re alone
Try to forget all the battles we faced
From thankless bosses to crowded freeways
It's time we stop and smell the roses
Let nature fill our minds and noses
TOUCHING GRASS
Let it grow under our feet
TOUCHING GRASS
Make some lasting memories
Stop spending all our time online
Get outside to feel alive and free… TOUCHING GRASS
I'll grab a couple lawn chairs, you grab the wine
We'll toast the evening sun as it sets the clouds on fire...

Dewey's DittiesDream VacationLast night I climbed the Eiffel Tower
Rode a horse down the Champs Elysees
Saw a picture of my dog in the Louvre
One I drew in the second grade
Bought a cafe where the waiters wore carnations
In my DREAM VACATION
Every night's a new adventure
To any place and time
It always seems so real
I leave my cares behind
All I need is my imagination
For a DREAM VACATION
I spent the day with Grandma on Sunday
She reminisced about her family's farm
That same evening while I slept
We played for hours in that big red...

The Chardonnay, my old bedroll and sleeping in til noon
What happened to that feeling of loving so carefree?
We might have never got it back if it wasn’t for that old oak tree
That took out the power lines put us in the dark, so we could see the light
[Chorus]
You and me for three whole days
Camped out by the fireplace
Scattered clothes across the floor
One sleeping bag to keep us warm
Drinking wine from coffee cups
Remembering how we fell in love

I know every place and every face beneath these city lights
Never believed I'd wanna leave this familiar life behind
But opportunity is knocking on my door today
It's time I let my passions carry me away
Chorus
Here's to adventure
Stepping out of comfort zones
Taking the road less traveled
Deep into the "Great Unknown"
I'm not here to pass the time
I wanna live a life I'll always remember
Here's to adventure

But the winds of change have rearranged what I think life's...

Saw an ad for online dating on my phone
Started searchin' for a match in the Florida Keys
With the wealthy, desperate, cougar filter on
What were the chances that I'd find you
Outta all the women on that site?
The week I had down there on your tab
Was the best time of my life...So
TROPI-CALL ME when you're lonely and I'll be there
To love on you in the salty air
Under the palm trees and sun
Sippin' coke and rum

With a john boat sticking out his tailgate
But she loved their sunset cruise
Catchin' bass with him in full view
Just when she thought it couldn't get any better
Their lines got crossed and they reeled themselves together
Getting TANGLED UP
Was the perfect excuse
To get real close for a kiss or two
They didn't rush to try and undo
Those feelings of true love
When they got TANGLED UP
Every Friday night since that first excursion
They fish 'til dark laughin' and conversin'
And last week...

Well, everybody at the party loved our double dive
Said we made a perfect pair the way we synchronized...and ever since then...

And a window sticker from the NRA?

But now that I know you’re my Savior, show me the way to go

Fought against everything I knew was good
Tempted fate with my body and spirit
Cracked my head open more than the Good Book
Now look at me today winning at life
Not even sure how I survived
I was blessed to make it through
All the wrong turns and bitter truths
After years of bad decisions I somehow landed on my feet
Someone up in Heaven must've PULLED SOME STRINGS
While I was learning to learn from my failures
Small errors became big mistakes
They led me off the road less...

The sparks we're creating might soon get out of hand

And we're still acting like when we first dated

But I'll draw on my trucking days
To explain our situation...

Taking all the curves in stride

A wond'rous star appeared one night
It guided magi to the place
Where Jesus lay in a crib of hay
That little bitty manger was a KING SIZE BED
For the Christ child born in Bethlehem
While the angels sang
The Shepherds prayed
To the baby in the KING SIZE BED
That lowly stable was a Holy Temple
As the newborn Savior rested there
The sheep and cattle even knew
The Word made Flesh was in full view

No crown of gold or diadem

Well I don't have a PhD in the science of grape-ology
But I know one libation meant for any food I'm tastin'
BEER GOES WITH EVERYTHING
From lobster tails to chicken wings
It's the universal bev'rage
Gives taste buds all their lev'rage
It's mellower than merlot

Dewey's DittiesOh DeerI've had you in my sights from the moment we met
But I'm not sure if you're avoiding me or playing hard to get
Like last night when I saw you by the road
I rolled my window down and when I said, "hello"
You just turned away, yeah
Like it was some kinda game
OH DEER, I guess love is blind
And I hope you're next to mine on opening day
OH DEER, All I need is one shot
To prove what I got can blow you away
You're more than just a rack on the wall to me

Hide my fishin’ pole on Sundays so I don’t miss church again
Set the limit on my credit card to just two hundred dollars
If you do then I’ll be sure to make more money than I spend
You say you’ll always love me just the way I am
But I can’t risk you changing your heart or my plans
I’m asking you to help me try and become a better man
DON’T LET ME LET YOU DOWN
I always want to be the one y...

Dewey's DittiesShe Knows How To BreakupSHE KNOWS HOW TO BREAKUP
I'm not gonna lie she was the best thing that ever happened to me
The knife she used to cut me loose went pretty deep
She showed compassion while my heart imploded
If it was acting, man, she really sold it
SHE KNOWS HOW TO BREAKUP
With tender words of hope and love
A couple beers on her front porch swing
Talkin' 'bout the good times we
Had for twenty-one-derful days and nights
Then she kissed me on the cheek as I climbed into my truck
SHE KNOWS HOW TO BREAKUP
She held my hand...

Dewey's DittiesMission In MotionThere was a hunger inside me that came from my heart
A dream so big I didn't have a clue where to start
Then from out of the blue a voice in my head
Shared a few words of wisdom I'll never forget
Put your MISSION IN MOTION
Don't wait another day
Let the fire in your soul light the way
There's nothing you can't do with a little faith,
A bit of hard work and devotion
Put your MISSION IN MOTION
Now I feel like a rocket heading into space
Knowing the course I'm on might change
But if...

Dewey's DittiesIf Everybody Came From A FarmIF EVERYBODY CAME FROM A FARM
I built cars in Detroit
Tractors in Waterloo
Rolled some grass in LA
Bailed hay near Baton Rouge
Of all the people that I've met
In every place I’ve been
The ones with country in their genes
Made the truest kind of friends
IF EVERYBODY CAME FROM A FARM
This world would be a better place by far
We'd take less for granted
On this Big Blue planet
And do more good than harm
IF EVERYBODY CAME FROM A FARM
Well, I'm not saying farmers are perfect
But their way of life sure is...

Grampa worshiped whiskey in before he died in Nam
THIS GLASS helped Grandma cope
One shot at a time while she raised their boy alone
When Grandma died it made it to our kitchen
And it was tough watching dad keep up the tradition
THIS GLASS
Held the key to his pain
When life was tough or didn't always go his way
THIS GLASS
Was a cure and a curse
Delivered needed medicine that made life worse
He got caught up living in the past
With THIS GLASS
THIS GLASS ruined my childhood

How lucky you were I walked into your life
That we've been best friends
Soul mates
Ever since our first date
And I agree with it all
Except the part about where luck was involved...cuz...
I WOULD'VE FOUND YOU
No matter where you were on this earth
You're the true North to my compass
The inner voice I've always heard
If you were born and raised five-thousand miles away in Timbuktu
Then it mighta taken a little longer to do
But I WOULD'VE FOUND YOU

Dewey's DittiesFarther From The TruthHope I didn't wake our little girl; didn't mean to call this late
Driving ten ain't no fun when I'm usually home by eight
The boss sure was desperate to get this load to Cheyenne
He said he'd make it worth my time but there's no way he can
Yeah, we can always use the extra money
But every mile that leads away from you
Takes me FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH
Of who I am and love to be
Your husband and her daddy
Down in small town Tennessee
There was a time
This highway life was all I ever...

Dewey's DittiesThe Weekend Begins - NSAI "One to Watch" July 2022THE WEEKEND BEGINS
I've never been the kind to over think
But lately that's what I've been doing
Trying to solve one of life's mysteries
And I finally came to the conclusion
THE WEEKEND BEGINS
When you're hangin' with your friends
And that first cold beer hits your lips
All those work life troubles
Burst like carbonated bubbles
And a smile's too hard to resist
Oh, you never want it to end
When THE WEEKEND BEGINS
It's amazing in all of history
I'm the one who found the answer
Of where to draw the line between
Being responsible and hammered

I'm no longer surprised
To hear the hush then feel the eyes
From all the jealous guys when I walk in this bar with you
And I can't blame 'em a bit
Cuz it was your outside that drew me in
My first thoughts were full of sinful things we might do
Now I know you like the back of my hand
In ways these wishful thinkers never have
They only see the TIP OF THE ICEBERG
They don't know what lies
Beneath your big blue eyes
Beauty's only skin deep
Most times I'd agree

Dewey's DittiesRUMN8R - A tribute to Dr. Michael Allen (MSU Distinguished Professor)You earned a few degrees where bad maize goes (i.e. Cornell)
Then made your mark with cows at MSU
No one would be surprised if your blood was green
And smelled like rumen juice
But dairy cattle research is all in your past
It's time to inhale some better grass
See you later, RUMN8R
Greener pastures are waiting for you
No more chewing your cud
Over nerdy science stuff
There's a world of things out there to do
Let your dreams be your navigator
See you later, RUMN8R
Trading your desk for fun in the sun

Dewey's DittiesStuck On This Farm - NSAI "One to Watch" May 2022When we bought your family farm last year,
And left our condo and careers
I couldn't tell a heifer from a steer or a pig from a hog
While you grew up in FFA
I was acting cool in high school plays
But hell, look at me today I'm right where I belong
STUCK ON THIS FARM
Like I'm stuck on you
Love everything about these eighty acres with a view
Never thought a city boy like me
Could fit in like this old red barn
But here I am
STUCK ON THIS FARM
Farming all day long

Dewey's DittiesTwenty-One Tear SaluteVerse 1
I woke up that winter day with a chill in my bones
Tried to blame it on the weather as it spread into my soul
Verse 2
Then I went outside to raise the flag and when it reached the top I saw the car
Out stepped a chaplain and sad-faced soldier; that’s when the chill froze my heart
Chorus
Then a gentle breeze waved Ol' Glory
And up above I swear an eagle flew
Then in your honor and my sufferin'
I gave a twenty-one tear salute
Verse 3

And after supper our backyard became a football field
It was always Dad against us kids and our winning streak survived
By tacklin' that one-man team just short of the goal line
Looking back now it's plain as day
To dad it was so much more than a game
He lived for the bottom of the pile
Smothered by kids, laughter and smiles
He taught us to be tough
To never give up
He hung onto his inner child
At the bottom of the pile
Dad worked allota overtime at the...

She'll leave a trail of hay to the bar
Swing her leg up and over that tall stool
Then she'll ride off into the neon lights
Swaying to the rhythm and the blues
She’s a cowgirl and cowgirls are tough
Hard to corner; easy to love
Lord help the man who comes between her and her horse
He’ll rue the day he was born
Cuz’ she’s a cowgirl
She'll thank you for the beer but that don't mean
You've got a chance of holding her tonight
Cuz tomorrow...
