Hush Lyrics and arrangement by Keith E. Paluso III Let’s go out where the treeline ends With a fire cracking, like a dream worn thin Set fire to whatever comes our way Turn our backs on what’s ablaze Said hush Said hush Said hush Whoa hush They’ll see that smoke for miles and miles Like lightning flash in the dead of night No footprints will we make By nightfall, we’ll be far away Said hush Said hush Said hush Whoa hush I said hush Hush We set fire to the broken house I said hush Whoa hush Don’t tell a soul about what we found I said hush Hush We set fire to the broken house I said hush Whoa hush Don’t tell a soul about what we found

Wishing Well by Keith Paluso and Keegan Paluso Verse 1: Toss your little pennies in Hope for hazy summer’s end Time for falling to begin With your little coin of hope Toss a little written note On your little heart you wrote Chorus: Sonny’s got a wishing well And it’s time to leave it, go and tell This neighborhood that all it well Sonny’s got a wishing well Verse 2: Little Daisy casts her lot Hoping he’ll forget her not Wedding chapel in summer hot Boy throws coin in after her Down he tossed in his whole world Wishing for nothing but the girl Chorus: Sonny’s got a wishing well And it’s time to leave it, go and tell This neighborhood that all it well Sonny’s got a wishing well Bridge: Then ten years from now When our well dries out We’ll be the talk of this town Well build a place called home Raise a few kids of our own Until we both grow old Chorus: Sonny’s got a wishing well And it’s time to leave it, go and tell This neighborhood that all it well Sonny’s got a wishing well

Make a Life Lyrics and arrangement by Keith E. Paluso III Uhaul in the pouring rain Headed off, here we go again Shelter and comfort Are what we’re after here Remember when the heat went out? We wore coats and still danced around I know the dance is so different now But I love it all the same My baby’s here, sipping on wine A barefooted charm to behold This kind of elegance suits her fine Out here in the wild grove Maybe the firewood will last all winter To heat our palace up in these hills There’s a chance we could have done better I almost hope we never will Do you think it’s finally time? Oh yeah Now we’re dropping out of this hurricane Howling wind and pouring rain Shelter and comfort Are what we’re after here Then suddenly, a candle lit And at first I was scared of it But if you’re too afraid to burn You’ll just sit there in the dark My baby’s here, sipping on wine A barefooted charm to behold This kind of elegance suits her fine Out here in the wild grove Maybe the firewood will last all winter To heat our palace up in these hills There’s a chance we could have done better I almost hope we never will Oh, do you think it’s finally time? Do you think we’ll be alright? Surly we’ll do just fine Preparing to make a life My baby’s here, sipping on wine A barefooted charm to behold This kind of elegance suits her fine Out here in the wild grove Maybe the firewood will last all winter To heat our palace up in these hills There’s a chance we could have done better I almost hope we never will Oh, do you think it’s finally time? Do you think we’ll be alright? Surly we’ll do just fine Preparing to make a life

Moonshine Lyrics and arrangement by Keith Paluso I’m going down to the river, sweet love Got to wash my cares away I’ve got some time, and a jar of sweet moonshine That’s where I intend to stay Barefooted as the day I was born At 11:05, about six hours from dawn Too drunk to make it home Angel asked me, “what are you, my son?” “Like ice in a fire, something’s got to be wrong.” “In a place like this, why’s your face so long.” I said “So many things I haven’t seen yet, The world’s so much bigger than we are meant to believe. And I want to go and see.” But for now I say I’m going down to the river, sweet love Got to wash my cares away I’ve got some time, and a jar of sweet moonshine That’s where I intend to stay I’m going down to the river, sweet love Got to wash my cares away I’ve got some time, and a jar of sweet moonshine That’s where I intend to stay I’m going down to the river, sweet love Got to wash my cares away I’ve got some time, and a jar of sweet moonshine Muddy water, won’t you take these cares away Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Toad Strangler Blues Lyrics by Keegan Paluso Arrangement by Keegan Paluso and Keith Paluso Hit the ground running About three days ago With a dog on our trail And an ivory-butt pistol I said one step Two step Three steps in time Gotta make it back home to see my baby, yeah Whoa, Lord Here comes a toad strangler Time to settle down Under the shade of those trees And I’ll be praying to God That the lightning doesn’t come Got metal on my hands and on my feet Well we’ll Hold up here in this Apple field Was a nice day’s rest while we Ate our fill Then the dogs came running Warden came a’ hauling Time to hit the trail ‘fore they skin your hide, yeah Whoa, Lord Here comes a toad strangler Time to settle down Under the shade of those trees And I’ll be praying to God That the lightning doesn’t come Got metal on my hands and on my feet Got metal on my hands and on my feet Well, old man winked and he turned a blind eye Me and my budd said it’s time to fly Back to the feeling of a woman’s touch Nice warm bed, we don’t ask for much Came that rain on a thursday night Torches was out, we thought we could hide Well I don’t think we’ll go back to the pen From the sound of that shotgun, looks like the end Whoa, Lord Here comes a toad strangler Time to settle down Under the shade of those trees And I’ll be praying to God That the lightning doesn’t come Got metal on my hands and on my feet I said Whoa, Lord Here comes a toad strangler Time to settle down Under the shade of those trees And I’ll be praying to God That the lightning doesn’t come Got metal on my hands and on my feet Got metal on my hands and on my feet Got metal on my hands and on my feet
