Life in the Key Of
by Keith Birmingham
130bpm in 4/4 time
A rising moon,
A setting sun,
It's all good.
It's all fun.
From valleys low,
To mountains high,
A deep green meadow,
Or a clear blue sky.
Radio blastin' from
The back of my car.
I was gonna be
A Nashville star.
A country song and
The girl of my dreams,
The world by the tail,
Or, so it seemed.
Life had losses..
Life had gains.
Life moved on,
And, I remained.
Although life moved on,
My dreams won't die.
And,I've paid my dues to
The corporate lie.
From valleys low,
To mountains high,
A deep green meadow,
Or a clear blue sky.
A rising moon,
A setting sun,
It's all good.
It's all fun.

Water in a Stream
Water in a Stream - Keith Birmingham
Copyright, 2009 by Keith Birmingham
As usual, you can message me for chords.
True love was the reason,
And, summer was the season,
And, we were always dancing’ in the rain.
We knew when we were dancing’
Our love was more than passion.
And, we would never cause each other pain.
But, time it passed us by.
Like water in a stream,
And, we found our love was left out in the rain.
You went off to college,
While I went in the service,
And, we were busy chasin’ other dreams.
When life began to change us
We answered different callings.
Our world was truly bursting at the seams.
And, time it passed us by,
Like water in a stream,
While we were busy chasin’ other dreams.
Time has come between us,
We know that life has changed us,
And, we know we cannot live on memories.
But, still I want to tell you,
That I have always loved you,
And, you are still a part of all my dreams.
And, time has passed us by,
Like water in a stream,
While we were busy chasin’ our own dreams.

A Rainy Day
A Rainy Day - Keith Birmingham
Copyright: 02/25/2012
A very simple tune. Try GCD.
What do I do on a rainy day,
And, when life don't go my way,
When it's cold and I can't go out,
What do I do and think about?
When the rain doesn't stop all day,
I like to go outside and play.
I like to dance through the pouring rain.
I like to act like I am insane.
When my life seems like it's a mess,
It doesn't matter if I've done my best.
I sing a song or I hum a tune
And, I howl at a rising moon.
And, when it's cold and I can't go out,
I open windows and I like to shout.
And, my life won't get me down.
If I find my way downtown.
So, put on a happy face,
Be a star of the human race.
Be someone that you want to be,
And, your smile will be set free.
That's what I do on a rainy day,
And when life don't go my way,
When it's cold and I can't go out,
That's what I do and think about?

What If I - Keith Birmingham.lyrics
What If I - Keith Birmingham.lyrics
Copyright, 02/08/2012
What if I
Could venture back in time
Erase the past
Of the life I‘ve left behind?
How would I
Ever find my way
Back to the place
Where I am today?
Will I ever know the answer
To the questions on my mind?
Will I ever find the reason
Of why I was so blind?
And will I
Find that I can carry on?
Will I find
That I’ve done it all so wrong?
Where will I
Find the courage I will need
When the answers to these questions
Are staring back at me?
Will I ever know the answer
To the questions on my mind?
Will I ever find the reason
Of why I was so blind?
And will I
Ever know a way to find
Forgiveness for pain I’ve caused
Forgiveness for my crimes?
And, will I
Find a way that I can be
Free to live the life I’m after
Will I ever be set free?
Will I ever know the answer
To the questions on my mind?
Will I ever find the reason
Of why I was so blind?

Living With a New, Living Constitution of the United States
Living With a New, Living Constitution of the United States
By Keith Birmingham
Here is one scenario of what you can look forward to as a results of a New, Living Constitution of the United States:
1.) Pot is legalized immediately. Well, maybe (?) that is not too bad considering the medical aspects, and the fact that it has about the same results on a civilization as does alcohol. We're doing just fine with alcohol, aren't we?
2.) God is not permitted on coin, currency or in public discourse. People, that means you can't mention him in public. Well, not too many of us believe in God anyway, do we?
3.) The government creates it's own news agency. If the Lib's are in control that means FOX shuts down, unless they promise more favorable treatment for the liberal mindset. And, CNN is never allowed to dispute the administration. ABC, NBC, and CBS, shut down because their advertisers are not allowed to advertise. WOW. There went my 1st Amendment. Yesterday they burned my Holy Bible. They took my Playboy subscription too. Hustler ran out of advertisers. The government owns all manufacturing now anyway. Buy from the government or do without, just like your medical treatment.
4.) It just seems like the government cannot make televisions any better than they make cars, and I can't get parts for my Government Motors car. Nobody makes anything anymore, except the government. All they make is laws to take something else from me. I wish we had never started using that Euro-dollar.
5.) All wild game is declared "protected". You are no longer allowed to hunt. And, since you are no longer allowed to hunt you do not need guns. So, private gun ownership is not allowed. Well, there goes the 2nd Amendment. It's that simple.
6.) WOW. I did not know that POT was a "gate-way" drug. I thought that was a lie. But, heroin is now legal. Now, my neighbors daughter has turned to prostitution to support her habit since the government is rationing here supply. But, at least prostitution is legal now. Who stole my car? There really isn't people who sell their children into slavery, is there?
7.) My government just put me in prison for refusing to let them station military personnel in my home. The government owns my house now. I didn't even know they were allowed to search me, my car, and my home without a warrant.
8.) Now I am sitting here remembering how much I wanted a new "living" constitution. I've now lost 2 kids because of drugs. My grandchildren were all born drug addicts. The streets are owned by foreign gangs. People are getting decapitated. And, all of that just because I thought I would rather put up with a mellowed out, stoned teenager than a drunk one.
9.) This "New, Living Constitution of the United States doesn't even allow for adopting amendments. And, this government has now said that none of the old ones are binding. They say the government is in charge of the people. Funny, according to the old constitution "we the people" were in charge of the government. I smell another revolution coming.
