Remember When
written by Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler
Copyright Penny Jar Publishing 2021
Hey, hey it’s you again
We pulled one over on all of them
When they said we can’t
We said we can
Isn’t it like us the storm we feared
Was the storm that would make the falls appear
On the canyon walls and the water ran clear.
Remember when All the trails are dust
It’s a big old world For Wee Bitty Us.
Hey, hey it’s me again
Swimming too close when there’s danger ahead
And chasing the view to the very edge.
Oh, and hey, remember when
We made it through hail and hell and then
The wild raspberries fell in our hands?
Remember when All the trails are mud
It’s a big old world For Wee Bitty Us
Remember when we keep growing up?
Remember when we got married?
Yeah, I remember that time we were falling in love.
Remember when all the trails are mud
It’s a big old world For Wee Bitty Us.
Remember when it’s just Wee Bitty Us.

As Tight As I Can
written by Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler
Copyright Penny Jar Publishing 2021
Here I sit trying to write a song for you
While you read poetry you found in the yard
Words don’t come easy,
gotta stretch ‘em out before you push ‘em through
Having a love so strong for you was never hard
There are songs about leaving, songs about grieving
But here’s a song about holding on
As tight as I can
I’m gonna hold on to you --- as tight as I can
I love to kiss ya, when you’re madder than a diatribe
And when you smile out of the corner of your eye
You love surprises but you don’t like to be surprised
When the kick drum hits you in the heart it makes you cry
There are songs about leaving, sad songs for grieving
But here’s a song about holding on
As tight as I can, as tight as I can, as tight as I can
I’m gonna hold on to you as tight as I can
As tight as I can, as tight as I can, as tight as I can
I’m gonna hold on to you as tight as I can
I’ve heard to be a man in love, you gotta act like a man in love
As if a little hard work and spit shine will have to do
I turned it over and it tasted sour upon my tongue
cuz I’m a man in love whenever I’m with you
I’m a man in love whenever I’m with you.

Alabama
written by Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler
Copyright Penny Jar Publishing 2021
I woke up this morning in Alabama
Just in time to see the sun wake up the trees,
Just in time to hear the trees wake up the birds,
Just in time to find that I woke up in Alabama--
While you were still asleep in Tennessee.
I'm not looking for a way to say I'm sorry.
Just because I fell in love with someone new,
Just because he said that he would love me, too,
Just because we're wide awake in love in Alabama--
While you are still asleep in Tennessee.
If there's room in your dreams for me,
Left a note on my pillow or a breadcrumb or three.
If it comes a surprise that I'm not by your side
When you wake up in Tennessee--
Just open your eyes.
I woke up this morning in Alabama.
Just in time to see the sun wake up the trees,
Just in time to hear the trees wake up the birds,
Just in time to find that I woke up in Alabama
Right next to the one who loves me.

You
written by Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler

If you're scared, I am scared, too,
But it wasn't you brave face that drew me to you.
So if you're going, I'm coming, too--
No, it's not for Fate's numbers or stars lining true;
It's you.
If you're home, I am home, too,
There's not a house that I've lived in that was home before you.
So if you're moving, I'm leaving, too--
It's a pile of bricks to a heart that is true
For you.
I've known you my whole life and never before--
Like the smell of leaves of the ground.
Wild in sight and quiet in sound,
Make me move with the wind and change with the light.
Your heart was broken in two
And the sound of its breaking shook dust from the moon.
My heart followed the tune.
My favorite part is where it was bruised.
I think we did good.
I think we did pretty good.

We Got 'em Beat
written by Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler
Copyright Penny Jar Publishing 2021
More than all the oysters in Apalachicola
More than all the manatees in the Springs of Wakulla
More than all that Sopchoppy honey
More than all that oil rig money
More than all the waves of the sea--
We got ‘em beat.
If I had a nickel for every moment spent with you
I’d collect them and keep them in a jar
Then I’d pour it out with interest to whoever is in charge--
“Make it a double this time through.”
More than all the oysters in Apalachicola
More than all the manatees in the Springs of Wakulla
More than all that Sopchoppy honey
More than all that oil rig money
More than all the waves of the sea--
We got ‘em beat.
Every day is another day for us (we got ‘em beat)
Won’t take less what we’re meant to take more of.
Every day is another day for us (we got ‘em beat)
I’ll take the verse and you take the chorus.
When it turns out true this land will break into the blue
We won’t be goners floating wide and far
You can throw on the spare tire and I’ll get life vests for the dogs
Drifting is growing with me and you.
More than all the oysters in Apalachicola
More than all the manatees in the Springs of Wakulla
More than all that Sopchoppy honey
More than all that oil rig money
More than all the waves of the sea--
We got ‘em beat.
Every day is another day for us (we got ‘em beat)
Won’t take less what we’re meant to take more of.
Every day is another day for us (we got ‘em beat)
I’ll take the verse and you take the chorus.

You Belong To Me

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise from a tropic isle
Just remember darling all the while
You belong to me
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'd be so alone without you
Maybe you'd be lonesome too in blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
I'd be so alone without you
Maybe you'd be lonesome too in blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

When It's Over
written by Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler
Copyright Penny Jar Publishing 2020
When all this is over, I'm gonna buy you a drink,
Gonna laugh til the stars in our eyes turn blue.
And our knees are gonna touch accidentally--
Wipe the rings from the bar while I roll my eyes at you.
When all this is over.
When all this is over, gonna take a long walk.
Just you and me on some Philly streets.
We won't mind that the line that we're in is too long--
And I'll nudge you in the side to try and get our eyes to meet.
When all this is over.
I'll worry less about the rent,
I won't remind you what you said the last time--
Before it was over.
And we'll spend more time with friends,
And I'll be more grateful than I was
Some of the time.
When it's over.
When all this is over, gonna move between the lines,
Be a dot on the map that is never still.
Gonna hop all the fences and get lost in all the crowds,
Gonna make this a promise, and with perspective lose my vow.
When all this is over.
I'll worry less about the rent,
I won't remind you what you said the last time--
Before it was over.
And we'll spend more time with friends,
And I'll be more grateful than I was
Most of the time.
At least from time to time.
When it's over.
