By the way friends if you can help me land one of my songs with an established artist or band, that would be incredible. I would more than love to get off of food stamps.It seems like I would be able to pay my own way with songs like I write. I spend 10 hours a day working on my music -- writing, recording, performing live, working on my gear...

When We Don't Get Along - By Randy Bowles Please forgive what I just said. I would rather be struck dead, Than lose you. And I know that you didn’t mean, To say all those hurtful things. I know you love me. Let’s put aside our fighting, Turn the page and then Start writing, A new chapter in our lives. I’ll do what I can, To be a better man. I know we can get along. You can’t know how it affects me, You can’t know How much it wrecks me. When we don’t get along. When I fight with my best friend, When it looks like things will end, It tears me up.   When we don’t get along, Everything seems wrong, In all creation. I’ll do what I can, To be a stand-up man. I know we can get along. Do you think That we could take a walk, Do you think that we could Have a talk, And start again anew. I just want to make amends, Recognize we are best friends, And keep on loving you. Let’s put aside our fighting, Turn the page and then Start writing, A new chapter in our lives. I’ll do what I can, To be a better man. I know we can get along.

Lit! - By Randy Bowles I’m lit, And I don’t mind a bit. I’d hate to be a Bumpy old log. The life of the party, A little smarty, The foghorn in the fog. It’s not on purpose, This three ring circus, Of a life that I live in. I try to keep still, But it’s such a thrill, When i act up, act out, grin! Who wants to be a square, When this rare air -- Is waiting to be inhaled? If I don’t shock someone At least once a day, I feel like Ifailed. If you see me skippin On down the street, I’m just moving to My own beat. You can shuffle along, If that’s your song, I’ll dig this life so sweet. If you hear me laughin, And it seems out of place, You forget - I’m from outer space. So please don’t ask me, Please don’t task me, To join your particular Human race! I’m lit, And I don’t mind a bit. I’d hate to be a Bumpy old log. The life of the party, A little smarty, The foghorn in the fog. It’s not on purpose, This three ring circus, Of a life that I live in. I try to keep still, But it’s such a thrill, When i act up, act out, grin! Who wants to be a square, When this rare air -- Is waiting to be inhaled? If I don’t shock someone At least once a day, I feel like Ifailed. If you see me skippin On down the street, I’m just moving to My own beat. You can shuffle along, If that’s your song, I’ll dig this life so sweet. If you hear me laughin, And it seems out of place, You forget - I’m from outer space. So please don’t ask me, Please don’t task me, To join your particular Human race!

Great stuff there Randy 😎

A bright and airy sounding song to bring the summer to an end and usher in the autumn. ✌🏻

Nothing Can Touch Your Love - By Randy Bowles Nothing can touch your love. No one kinder has ever lived. I’ll give you everything I have to give. You were born with such goodness. Blessed with the kindest heart. No one in my life has Played a bigger part. I was born to be forever by your side. To share an endless love That will abide. Nothing can touch your love. You’re the best there ere will be. Who would have dreamed You’d give your love to me. Nothing can touch your love. When all is said and done. How in the world could you Think I was the only one? I was fated to be forever in your arms. To share the kind of love That keeps us safe from harm. Here we are a-walking, Walking hand in glove. If it’s a dream, let me dream. Nothing can touch your love. My walk with you gets sweeter, Sweeter every day. My affection for you Is more than a song can say. I’m blessed to be forever by your side. To share an endless love That will abide, will abide. Nothing can touch your love.

Irish people like to make fun of us for thinking of Ireland so magically 😂 but if you're Irish-American you just can't help it from time to time haha. Great song Randy!

Animals,plants too,not just humans

Everybody Needs A Home - By Randy Bowles Everybody needs a home. A special place, To call their own. A place where they Can lay their head. A quiet space, A comfy bed. Homelessness Is not a crime. Folks lose housing All the time. One paycheck From poverty. This can happen To you and me.   Let’s work together, Find our role. To house us all, That is our goal. Imagine no roof O’er your head. Imagine being Barely fed. Say a prayer, Give some money. This is the land Of milk and honey. Is that true For everyone? If it’s not, Our work’s not done.

Positivity all the way man!✌🏻✌🏻

Divine Road Map - By Randy Bowles Help me represent, All that is good. To live as you intended, To live as I should. Help me be a beacon, To do what’s right. Help me be a leader, A guiding light. Won’t you help me represent, The best that I can be. I never thought to be a leader, Would be my destiny. If there’s something I can say, Something I can do, Help me not to hold back, But to come through. It’s true that I’m not perfect, But I try my level best. Time and time again, I fail the test. The only thing to strive for, The only thing do, The only thing to do, Is to come through. I want to build a better world, Bring about a brighter day. To represent, inspire. To help folks find the way. To carry out this mission, That’s fallen in my lap. Give me direction, A divine road map.

Kind People - By Randy Bowles Kind people Don’t tell you who to be. They know folks Need to be free. They look for bridges They can build. Kind people Want bellies filled. Kind people Don’t tell you how to pray. They don’t say Theirs is the only way. They don’t tell you Who to love. Kind people Don’t push and shove. Let’s work together Lift everybody up. So everyone drinks From the loving cup. Kind people They don’t tell you What books to read. Kind people know Kids need to learn. They know books Should not be burned. Kind people see We’re in the same boat. They don’t make it Harder to vote. You don’t have to do Just like they do. Kind people know You have the right to choose. Let’s vow to build community. To join together in unity.

Note: I've simultaneously published this new song entitled Kind People, on my other, Randy "Jimmie James" Bowles channel. Please check it out: ua-cam.com/video/GQh8tjCHSy4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Randy%27%22JimmieJames%22Bowles

Lyrics By Randy Bowles I’m a happy cloud In a sky of blue. I’m watching Out for you. Don’t cry because my Days are through. Nothing beats this sky of blue. Wave to me When I pass by. I just changed shapes I didn’t die. I’ve got a twinkle In my eye. A happy cloud In a blue blue sky. A happy cloud In a blue blue sky. I won’t rain on your parade, Won’t block the sun Less you need shade. If you get showers, That’s not me. I’m as happy as can be.   I no longer feel the pain. I no longer know the strain. All my cats are here with me, Purring through eternity. All my cats are here with me, Purring through eternity. I rose above my Human failings. In the atmosphere i’m sailing. I hope I was a friend to you. My silver lining is my love for you. My love for you… I’m a happy cloud in a sky of blue. Counting the days waiting for you. We’ll float above the folks we love, Think happy thoughts, To see them through. They’ll wave to us as we pass by. We changed shapes we didn’t die. We’ve got a twinkle in our eye. Two happy clouds in a blue blue sky. Two happy clouds in a blue blue sky. Two happy clouds in a blue blue sky.

I originally made this for my Randy "Jimmie James" Bowles channel, and decided to share it here. Thank you, everyone.

I Want To Die In The Fall (So The Leaves Cover Up My Bones) - By Randy Bowles I want to die in the fall, So the leaves cover up my bones. I wanna hear that autumn wind, As it cries and moans. Let it sing me to sleep When I’m six feet deep. I won’t have to count no sheep. I want to die in the fall, So the leaves can cover my bones. No let me die in the spring, So I can hear that robin sing. Let me die in the spring So I can hear that robin sing. Let the daffodils grow over me. Prettiest things I ever did see. Let me die in the spring, So I can hear that robin sing. Let me die in the winter, Let the snow cover up my mound. Let it pile up, As I am heaven bound. Not a creature is stirring, The earth’s asleep. My bones are lyin in a heap. Let me die in the winter, Let the snow cover up my ground.  Can I die in the summer, So the sun shines down on me. Keep me warm as I sleep for All eternity? Wanna lie underneath that Blue blue sky. Hey now Baby don’t you cry. Let me die in the summer, So the sun shines down on me. Summer winter spring or fall, I guess it don’t matter much at all. But when the seasons change, Baby won’t you think of me. When the seasons change, Baby won’t you think of me.

Sad, but a beautiful tribute in memory ✌🏻

Her Beauty Shamed The Fairest Flower - By Randy Bowles I met her on a summer Sunday, Fell in love with her on Monday. Tuesday told me I had found my mate. Her red hair streamed down Past her hips. Strawberries paled next to her lips. To live a life together Seemed our fate. Her beauty shamed the fairest flower. A day with her felt like an hour. I couldn’t wait to be with her again. Her passion fed my heart’s fire. Her favor was my one desire. I could never find a better friend. For me she was the only one. I lay with her when day was done. We dreamed our dreams together Arm in arm. We thought we’d found unending joy. A village girl a country boy. We thought we were forever Safe from harm. Her beauty shamed The fairest flower. I built for her The finest bower. I caught for her the stars The sun the moon. Golden rings hung from her ear, Birdsong made her Shed a tear. Why did her passing Have to come so soon? My heart became an empty space, When shadows fell upon her face. And angels took her To her place of rest. Her beauty shamed the fairest flower. But death robbed her of all Her power. Creation lost the brightest And the best.

Love your lyrics, Randy! Life makes you fall sometimes, but the most important thing is to get up again! 😊

Love it Randy!

Life Is A Relay Race - By Randy Bowles Life is a relay race, You’re handed a baton. You run with it, Then you pass it on. It takes great effort, To do your part. Most of all it takes a willing heart. You’re part of a team, Not on your own. You’ll have help with the baton Until you’re grown. Then it’s your turn to run, Fly down the track. Carry it forward, With the wind at your back. Progress is measured, One step at a time. It doesn’t happen, On the turn of a dime. Carry that baton hold it high, It’s your turn to show how Fast you can fly! You may stumble, You may even fall. Some-times you’ll feel Like you hit the wall. Get your second wind, Don’t let it get you down. You were born to run, You were meant to carry on. When you’re much older, When you reach the end, Hand it off to the one Who’ll take it round the bend. And if you’ve run your hardest, With all your heart, -you’ll rest assured You did your part. Life is a relay race, You’re handed a baton. You run with it, Then you pass it on. -it takes courage, To do your part.

It's very funny to me that the companion song that inspired this one, got 10 views here ("Dear Sisters"). And this one got over a hundred in 17 hours! Well, Dear Sisters is hovering at a hundred on my main channel, which is called: Randy "Jimmie James" Bowles channel.Here is link to it: ua-cam.com/video/C0LvBi9L9Zg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Randy%27sRamblins-RandyBowlesBonusChannel

Positivity will win out in the end, no matter how big or small!

keep goin Randy!

Lyrics: All this goodness, It’s starting to grow. I feel it from head to toe. Change is coming at Such a pace. I see smiles All over the place. All this goodness I feel it grow. I see it everywhere i go. People laughing full of joy. Hope for every girl and boy. People dancing In the street, The taste of freedom Is oh so sweet. We’ve had enough Of the arguments. The time has come for Common sense! Strong men turn out To be weak. Their lion’s roar Is a mouse’s squeak. Who cares what A bully thinks? What we need is Quiet strength.   Facts are facts, Here’s one for you. We’re surfing a wave, It’s a beautiful blue. All this goodness Starting to grow. Bring it with you, Wherever you go. All this goodness, It’s starting to grow. I feel it from head to toe. Change is coming at Such a pace. I see hope for the human race. All this goodness!

Dear Sisters - By Randy Bowles Dear sisters I stand with you. I have faith you know what to do. You’ve got my vote I’ll join the call. The call for freedom and justice for all. Now more than ever, There’s a reason to say, Out with the old Bring in the new day. Raise your voice for freedom of choice, The future’s now it starts today. Dear sisters your time is here. I feel a change in the atmosphere. Bring the hope, Let the darkness be gone. Let the future begin, Bring on the dawn. Old fashioned ways have had their day It’s time for our sisters, To have their way. Gather your strength, Let the new day begin. Be the thunderclap and the whirlwind. Dear sisters, Lead us into the light. You’ve got comrades In this fight. The darkness ends With the light of day. Let your heart and passion Lead the way. Take your power March and shout, Be the change we need Throw the old guard out. You hold up more than half the sky, It’s time to raise your voices high. Dear sisters… Dear sisters…

What a foot tapper! Old time music is ace

Here are my lyrics: Alvina (Banjo Pickin’ Gal) - By Randy Bowles I blew in to Seattle, Fresh out of Pasadena. Met a banjo-pickin gal, The beautiful Alvina. Alvina loved the banjo, I’d say she took to it. She made it talk, made it sing, She was born to do it. When she looked into my eyes, I was taken by her. It wasn’t just her banjo pickin, Set my heart on fire. Been to the north, Been to the south, You know I’ve never seen a, Sweeter banjo pickin gal, Than the beautiful Alvina. From Tonopah to Yakima, Raleigh to Alta Dena. There’s no gal can compare, To the beautiful Alvina. I had a date with Mary Ann, She played the concertina. Couldn’t stop thinkin Of my banjo gal, The beautiful Alvina. You can have your Dolly, Emmylou, Wynona and Martina. I’ll take my 5-string Pluckin gal, The beautiful Alvina.

Excellent original my friend sounds fantastic great job love it ❤😊

Violins And Candlelight - By Randy Bowles Violins and candle light, Evoke the mood I’m in tonight. The feeling’s strong, The feeling’s right with you. Now you’re here so close to me, Your tender love has set me free. Take me where I want to be with you. The violins play soft and low, The candles shed an amber glow. This is the only love I know with you. Until the dawn brings soft sunlight, I’ll stay with you throughout the night. I only want to hold on tight with you. Violins and candle light, Evoke the mood I’m in tonight. The feeling’s strong, The feeling’s right with you. Dancing close to Samba sounds, My heart races leaps and bounds, The dance of life has just begun With you.

Sounds fantastic my friend excellent song, performance. Thank you Sub 20 ❤😊

Love songs are my favorites, since love is such a fascinating emotion. So thank you, Randy! 😊

What a groove, top tune. Look like you had fun playing/recording this one, and I bet it didn’t take too many attempts either ✌🏻✌🏻

My Axe - By Randy Bowles I like my action high, My strings brand new. I like an old guitar, That’s tried and true. Don’t need a lot of gizmos, Don’t need a lot of gear. Just a good guitar, Like this one here. My axe… If it could talk, What tales it would tell. All beat up, But it plays so well. When it plays the blues, You’ll feel a natual chill. It’s got the mojo To cure your ills. My axe… I could have a fancy axe shiny & fine. But it wouldn’t have the sound that -- Blows minds. It wouldn’t have the history, It wouldn’t have the charm. It feels so good, Nestled in my arms. My axe… I picked it up 20 years ago. It was sittin in the window of a Thrift store. It called my name Love at first sight. Try to take if from me, You’re in for a fight. My axe… It’s played hundreds of shows, Thousands of songs. On this old man’s lap, Where it belongs. When i pack it up, When the show is through, You know we gave it our all, When we played for you. My axe… When i’m laid in the ground, For eternity, There’s one kind favor, I would ask of thee: Give this old axe to a girl or a boy. Tell ‘em old randy wishes them joy. My axe, my good old axe. My axe, my vintage axe.

great heartfelt tunes, Randy. Keep on doing the thing you love.

I would really love some comments and likes here. This is basically the ultimate thing I've done in my music career -- well, at least since 1975, when I tied for 4th place in the Grand Ole Opry's 50th Anniversary Talent Search. -- Do you like this? I worked my butt off!

Amen Randy! Love these lyrics! We need his grace comfort and his gifts! Love the bluesy feel!

Here are, first, the lyrics, and then at the bottom, a link to the electric version of this song. God’s Little Graces - By Randy Bowles God’s little graces Those heavenly gifts, Bring us joy, When our hearts need a lift. God’s tender mercies, Forgiveness and grace, Make this old world A brighter place. God’s little graces Sweet little gifts, Bring us comfort, When our souls need a lift. Here are a few, I wrote down in a song. I’m sure you’ve got a list, That’s twice as long. A child says hello, As you walk down the street. How could anything, anything Be that sweet? Little ones need, Our love and care. But they return it, In a double-share. A kitten crawls up upon your lap. Circles twice and takes a nap. Purring softly, snoozing away, That little kitty just Made your day. And… God’s little graces Unexpected gifts, Bring us joy when Our hearts need a lift. God’s tender mercies, Forgiveness and grace, Pay it forward to the whole human race. Your grandma takes you By your hand. Says you’d make grandpa A happy man. Right when you needed A kind word or two, Grandma knew it, And she came through for you. You slip and fall At the grocery store. You got a cut and your arm feels sore. A crowd of strangers, Comes to rescue you. Loving-kindness right out of the blue. At the drive-through, Picking up your meal, Not feeling great, Life gets so darn real. The woman at the window says No worries dude, The car in front of you Paid for your food. Singin’ about… Here's a link to the electric version: ua-cam.com/video/Z4rNiy8LlJk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Randy%27%22JimmieJames%22Bowles
