Down in Matupi, where the fields stretch wide, Where the rivers wind and the mountains rise, There’s a town where hearts are true and strong, Where we dance to the rhythm of a country song. (Chorus) Oh Matupi, my sweet hometown, Where the sun sets low and the stars shine down, In the heart of the country, where life feels right, Matupi, you’re my guiding light. (Verse 2) From the rolling hills to the dusty roads, Where the breeze whispers secrets that the river knows, In Matupi, we work the land so fine, Growing crops and dreams in the sunshine. (Bridge) Hand in hand, we face the storms that come, Through hardships and laughter, we stay as one, In Matupi, faith and family run deep, Where the simple life’s treasures we gladly keep. (Chorus) Oh Matupi, my sweet hometown, Where the sun sets low and the stars shine down, In the heart of the country, where life feels right, Matupi, you’re my guiding light. (Verse 3) When the days grow long and the nights are clear, We gather ‘round for a song and a cheer, With guitars strumming and voices strong, In Matupi, we know where we belong. (Outro) So raise a glass to the place we call home, Where the fields of gold forever roam, In Matupi, where dreams take flight, Matupi, you’re my beacon of light. (Chorus) Oh Matupi, my sweet hometown, Where the sun sets low and the stars shine down, In the heart of the country, where life feels right, Matupi, you’re my guiding light. (outro) till we meet again, i'll dreams of you, with every dawn and every dew, Matupi, my home, i'll find my way back to you. My home Matupi.......ohhh....yeah.. (Matupi, a place where country roads lead to happiness!)

[Verse] [M] I was fixin' up the barn one bright Saturday, She called me to the farmhouse, didn't know what she'd say. [F] I was bakin' pies, givin' my love a try, When I heard that yelp, I almost started to cry. [Verse 2] [M] The door swung shut, oh, it was such a sight, In the blink of an eye, it turned day into night. [F] I rushed outside, saw you doubled in pain, Oh darling, I swear I'll never shut it again. [Chorus] [M] Oh, crushing my nuts in a door, It's a pain so deep, can't take no more. [F] I'll hold you close, try to make it right, Together we'll heal, through day and night. [Bridge] [M] Who knew a door could betray a man's trust, Turnin' calm afternoons into such a fuss. [F] I'll mend your spirit, I'll ease the stress, Love and laughter can fix this mess. [Verse 3] [M] The doctor chuckled, couldn't hold back a smile, Gave me ice and advice, said rest for a while. [F] We sat side by side, watching the sun go down, With every laugh and tear, it's you I've found. [Chorus] [M] Oh, crushing my nuts in a door, It's a pain so deep, can't take no more. [F] I'll hold you close, try to make it right, Together we'll heal, through day and night.

I hate to hide our love from them, You know you're not just my roommate, I hate to lie, Just wanna try. T'Give you fam'ly that won't hate. When your 'Sippi blues meet with mine And that smile you're afraid to show you make me weak, And I can't speak Boy you don't even know, oh. I hold your hand when we're alone I just need to have you around, But when I do, please know it's true, you're the purest love I've found The pressure of this mountain air Your whispers stir the stagnant void I hold you close won't let you go, Love like ours can't be destroyed. Please say you'll stay for me baby I can't go back to life without You're ev'rything And here's the ring I heard you go'on and on about 'Neath Colorado skies and clouds I found a love worth fighting for Beyond the fear, I'll stay right here, I feel it down inside my core When your 'Sippi blues meet with mine And that smile you're afraid to show you make me weak, And I can't speak Boy you don't even know, oh. I know I'm not like Robert Frost But I gone done the best I could Talk to you right Each day and night To take tell you that you're good. I hate to hide our love from them, You know you're not just my roommate, I hate to lie, Just wanna try. T'Give you fam'ly that won't hate.

There's a fellow named Baker, a sight to behold, With a chest so impressive, it must be extolled. Built like a polar bear, sturdy and strong, His presence commands attention all day long. His titties, they say, are a wonder to see, As ample and proud as any could be. They bounce and they jiggle with each hearty stride, A spectacle of nature, impossible to hide. Baker's not bothered by stares or by glances, He carries himself with the grace of ten dancers. His bear-like build is a source of great pride, A gentle giant with nothing to hide. In winter and summer, in autumn and spring, Baker's magnificent form is quite the thing. A man of substance, both inside and out, His big heart matches his figure, no doubt. So here's to Baker, the man and the myth, Whose titties and build are a force to reckon with. May he stride on proudly, turning heads as he goes, A polar bear among men, from his chest to his toes.

[Verse] In a town where the gossip cuts deep, We found a love that we had to keep. Morning light through the churchyard gates, Whispered secrets the night translates. [Verse 2] Hand in hand down a gravel road, Under stars our true feelings showed. In a world that can’t understand, I’m proud to hold my lover's hand. [Chorus] Love in the shadows, but it’s real and right, Hidden smiles in the dark of night. Whispered dreams that we can’t deny, In your arms is where I’ll find my sky. [Verse 3] Countless nights we would run and hide, But there's no shame in what we feel inside. Every glance is a silent vow, Against the world, we only have now. [Verse 4] Mama prays for my soul to heal, But it’s with you I learned to feel. No prayer could ever change my heart, We’re bound together, never apart. [Chorus] Love in the shadows, but it’s real and right, Hidden smiles in the dark of night. Whispered dreams that we can’t deny, In your arms is where I’ll find my sky.

[Verse] In the hollowed woods where the sunset drops, Lived a blue fox schemin', wearin' hip hop tops, He got them boots that clink and a hat so wide, Dreamin' 'bout roads, feelin' that countryside. [Verse 2] He howls at the moon with a country beat, On the dusty trail, with some spurs on his feet, From Tennessee plains to those Texas skies, He’s got the rhythm, never sayin’ goodbyes. [Chorus] Oh, ramblin' blue fox, hit the road and run, Mixin' up that country with a beat that's fun, From the hills to the prairies, he’s got a dream, That ramblin’ blue fox, always chasin’ a scene. [Verse 3] Rollin' past the barns where the work gets done, With a pick-up truck and a loaded gun, Fields of gold and the rivers so wide, With a hip hop groove, he's got the world as his ride. [Chorus] Oh, ramblin' blue fox, hit the road and run, Mixin' up that country with a beat that's fun, From the hills to the prairies, he’s got a dream, That ramblin’ blue fox, always chasin’ a scene. [Bridge] With a fiddle in the night and a banjo beat, He dances through the fields on his nimble feet, The city lights or a mountain high, He's a blue fox wanderer, always satisfied.

[Verse] I woke up one morning, felt a tickle in my throat, Couldn't shake the fever, outta luck and outta hope, Reached for Grandma's tincture, that’s been sittin' in the yard, Next thing that I knew, I was stuck inside a jar. [Verse 2] The world looked mighty different through that glassy, cloudy haze, My dog barked at the garden, but I was caught in a daze, Neighbors came to visit, couldn't hear a single word, Just the muffled echoes, like trapped songbirds. [Chorus] Stuck in a jar, ain't goin' nowhere, Prayin' for escape, breathin' in this stale air, Life feels so small, when you're dreamin' from afar, Caught in this fever, just stuck in a jar. [Verse 3] Mama tried to help me, said there’s meaning in the pain, But all I saw were shadows, dancin' in the rain, The old oak swayed so slowly, whisperin’ in the wind, While I waited for a break that wouldn’t ever begin. [Chorus] Stuck in a jar, ain't goin' nowhere, Prayin' for escape, breathin' in this stale air, Life feels so small, when you're dreamin' from afar, Caught in this fever, just stuck in a jar. [Bridge] Memories movie-reel, playin’ slow inside my head, Long walks through open fields, Grandpa's stories 'fore bed, But all that fades to nothin', in this glassy, fevered place, I just need a way to break free, to see the world’s embrace.

[Verse] In a one-room cabin by the river's dreamy flow, Where the willow trees whisper secrets they know, We danced on creaky floors, to a fiddle's gentle tune, Our shadows twirled and dipped, waltz beneath the moon. [Verse 2] Your eyes like starlight in the midnight sky's embrace, Soft laughter rang, in this quiet, sacred place, We carved our names in an old oak tree's scarred bark, Love etched in timber, lasting through the dark. [Chorus] Oh, darling, in the winds that blow so free, Your whispers linger, a haunting melody, Through the veils of time, our hearts remain as one, Beneath the moonlit nights, till our days are done. [Verse 3] Mornings brought the sunrise, colors in our eyes, Coffee brewing slow, simple days, no disguise, We'd walk the meadows, hand in hand till day’s close, The scent of wildflowers, captured in each pose. [Verse 4] Lonely nights remind me of your laughter's sweet sound, Though life's path led you to heaven's higher ground, I light a candle by the window you adored, And feel you near, in every natural chord. [Chorus] Oh, darling, in the winds that blow so free, Your whispers linger, a haunting melody, Through the veils of time, our hearts remain as one, Beneath the moonlit nights, till our days are done.

Verse 1: After work in Tallahassee, the sun was sinkin' low, Stopped by the copy center, where the neon lights did glow. Picked up some cough medicine, my throat was feelin' sore, But I didn't know that night, I'd be crashin' on the floor. Chorus: Oh, Tallahassee nights, where the stories come alive, With cough syrup and copy rooms, and a broken car outside. From the party at the center, to the crash under the stars, We were livin' fast and reckless, with our hearts and busted cars. Verse 2: The party was a wild one, with the printers hummin' loud, Danced with all the office folks, lost in the happy crowd. But that cough medicine hit hard, and my head began to spin, Stumbled out into the night, with a dizzy, foolish grin. Chorus: Oh, Tallahassee nights, where the stories come alive, With cough syrup and copy rooms, and a broken car outside. From the party at the center, to the crash under the stars, We were livin' fast and reckless, with our hearts and busted cars. Bridge: Now I’m sittin' by the roadside, with a story I can tell, 'Bout how the best-laid plans can sometimes go to hell. But there's a charm in the chaos, a beauty in the mess, In the heart of Tallahassee, I was blessed with sweet unrest. Chorus: Oh, Tallahassee nights, where the stories come alive, With cough syrup and copy rooms, and a broken car outside. From the party at the center, to the crash under the stars, We were livin' fast and reckless, with our hearts and busted cars. Outro: So here's to the adventures, and the memories we make, In the heart of Tallahassee, by the light of our mistakes. With cough medicine dreams, and a tale that never ends, We’ll keep crashin' through this life, with a song for all our friends.

(Verse 1)In the town of Matupi, where dreams come alive,With rolling hills and skies so wide,A place of beauty, where nature thrives,Where hearts are warm and spirits thrive. (Chorus)Matupi, oh Matupi, a land so dear,With its people kind and full of cheer,Together we stand, hand in hand,In Matupi, our united land. (Verse 2)From dawn till dusk, a bustling sight,The sound of laughter fills the night,Where cultures blend, harmonies ignite,In Matupi, a vibrant light.(Bridge)From the mountains high to the valleys low,Matupi's spirit continues to grow,With strength and resilience, we face every test,In Matupi, we're at our best. (Chorus)Matupi, oh Matupi, a land so dear,With its people kind and full of cheer,Together we stand, hand in hand,In Matupi, our united land. (Outro)So let us celebrate, this place we call home,In Matupi, where love has grown,With grateful hearts, we'll forever sing,Of Matupi, the joy it brings.Conversation
