| Ellie Written by, Marci Hanshue Copyright, March, 1999 |
| Verse 1 She came out of no where & befriended my mama Right away she was family, and asked if we would wanna Call her Aunt Ellie--so we did... Aunt Ellie was around a lot when I was young Wherever we would go with her was always more fun Aunt Ellie was a voluptuous bachelorette Wore her shorts short and smoked cigarettes |
Chorus Being with her made me feel free I gotta really good taste of the 70's |
| Fun followed Ellie like a cool summer breeze Lip gloss, cut offs... & baby-doll tees |
Verse 2 Back then we would drive to the nearest swimmin' hole Ellie'd bring baby oil & of course her fishin' pole Leave the car door open, wider than a crack She just had to hear her new 8-track |
| Chorus Cause being with her made me feel free I gotta really good taste of the 70's Fun followed Ellie like a cool summer breeze Lip gloss, cut offs...& baby-doll tees Bridge There's nothin' like the feeling of the sun on young skin Days were so much longer--a drive cross town was a vacation Chorus And being with her made me feel free I gotta really good taste of the 70's Fun followed Ellie, like a cool summer breeze Lip gloss, cut offs... & baby-doll tees Tag She came out of no where and befriended my mama Right away she was family and asked if we would wanna... Call her Aunt Ellie...so we did... |

| Show Me the Way Written by, Marci Hanshue Copyright, August 17, 2000 |
Every night; she prepares a feast Blinks back the tears, moves quietly She's been taught it's her duty--it's the only thing to do Guided by these thoughts, is how she makes it through |
| All these goings on--you wouldn't know--it doesn't show...in those laughing eyes Somethin' keeps her pressin' on--it isn't much--a gentle nudge...a little thorn in her side |
| Chorus And she prays...take me away, take me away Please give me a day when someone will love me for who I am Show me the way, show me the way Help me to trade what I've been given-- if you can Teach me how...to love myself... |
Verse 2 Always tired; don't know quite why There's no expression in her lover's eyes She wants to be his happiness--her love fills up the room Loves doing for him, he accentuates what she fails to do |
| All these goings on--have come on slow--but they're startin' to show..she's startin' to realize What keeps her pressin' on--she can't yet touch--but it's oh so much more...than a miracle inside |
 |
| Chorus And she prays--take me away, take me away Please give me a day when someone will love me for who I am Show me the way, show me the way Help me to take what I've been given--if you can Teach me how...to love myself... |
Bridge Only awkward silence on the way home She can almost predict when he will explode |
| Chorus And she prays--take me away, take me away Please give me a day, when someone will love me for who I am Show me the way, show me the way...Help me to save what I've been given if you can Teach me how... to love myself--love myself...love myself with grace |

| All the empty words-- as easily as they flow-- she's smart enough to know... not one of them is true Her only concern--lies in the back--and this is the sound...they pretend to sleep through |
