Space Between Two Worlds
Written by Ruby Bird & Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music ASCAP ©2021
In the space between two worlds
Shoreline meets the sea
Where the meadow meets the woods
Honey meets the bee
We could travel there most any time
Life’s a mystery that way
‘Tween the Sun and Moon the stars still shine
And on and on and on and on we’ll play…
In the space between two worlds
Where the clouds meet sun
‘Tween the cradle and the tomb
Getting close to One
We could end up there most any time
Life’s a mystery that way
‘Tween the Earth and Mars the stars still shine
And on and on and on and on we’ll play…
Age meets Youth; Dark meets Light
Lies meet Truth; Dove meets Flight
Hate meets Love; Flower meets Tree
‘Tween two worlds; You and Me
We could travel there most any time
Life’s a mystery that way
‘Tween the Sun and Moon the stars still shine
And on and on and on and on we’ll play…
We could end up there most any time
Life’s a mystery that way
‘Tween the Earth and Mars the stars still shine
And on and on and on and on we’ll play…
On and on and on and on we’ll stay…Between…Two…Worlds
Between…Two…Worlds

Man Plans God Laughs
Written by Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music ASCAP ©2021
Up in a room he hears the sound of things
He thought were sure to come
Get in a car with a guitar
And take the highway to the sun
There’s a pie up in the sky
And it cannot be a lie
Man Plans--God laughs
She’s getting restless like a twisted wind
That rolls across the plains
She needs to get away and find a place
Where nothing is the same
Where the future has begun
Such a perfect place to run
Man plans---God laughs
Man plans---God laughs
You can hope, take a chance
Growing old is just a place to pass the time
Tomorrow you can dance
But tomorrow’s promised to no one so try
To let it shine
Maybe together they can change the world
And face it like a stone
And they will never feel the loneliness
Of being all alone
Time will never take its toll
All we need is Rock and Roll
Man plans. (Every man works and plans, God laughs)
God laughs. (Every man works and plans, God laughs)

Master Of Nothingness
Written by Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music ASCAP ©2021
Every day is the same old day that it was
And will be again tomorrow
To start the day in a lazy way is OK
For the master of nothingness
Keep in mind that when everything’s the same
It’s better than when things change
He will smile and he will feel no shame
And nothing will cause him pain
Nothing to do won’t make him blue
There is nowhere to go
And no worry clouds his mind
With something else
Not a care, no ambition there to see
Just whiling away the hours
It would be such a perfect thing to be
The master of nothingness
Nothing to do won’t make him blue
There is nowhere to go
And no worry clouds his mind
With something new
Nothing to know, nothing to show
For all the time he’s spent
Looking up into the sky
And wondering why
He’s the master of nothingness

South Side of Summer
Written by Ruby Bird & Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music ASCAP ©2021
August 17…..A special time
Corn on the cob…..Blueberry pie
Sultry sun to balmy nights give way
South side of summer coming my way
Sunflowers tall……Sneakers on the line
Eggplant’s almost ready……Tomatoes on the vine
Fields of green and yellow…..Stacked high with hay
South side of summer coming your way
It’s what I dream of……January
It’s what I pray for……February
Sweet anticipation round April and May
Hallelujah, it’s here today……
Rivers running slow now……Creek’s down to a crawl
Over your shoulder……Looking toward Fall
Cicadas sing a warning……these last warm days
South side of summer slipping away
South side of summer…..Slipping…..Away

The One Delight
Written by Ruby Bird & Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music ASCAP ©2021
Well you know…this being away is getting me down
And you know…it’s a cloudy day in this lonely town
I used to see your smile…Nearly all the time in the summertime
But like an early frost…It just disappears in the frozen ground
And you say it will be alright
Another day will bring someplace to run
And you say love’s the one delight
I hope we’ll get to see the summer sun (while we’re on the run)
Well you know…a branch broke off my favorite tree
And now…my life’s laid bare for all to see
These days…I can’t keep track of who I am
But I’ll make my peace with winter…By the time December rolls around
And you say it will be alright
Another day will bring someplace to run
And you say there’ll be time for us
When everything is said and done
And you say love’s the one delight
I hope we’ll get to see the summer sun
And you say it will be alright
Another day will bring someplace to run
And you say there’ll be time for us
When everything is said and done
And you say love’s the one delight
I hope we’ll get to see the summer sun (the rising son)
And you say love’s the one delight
To get us through this lonely life

The Last Good Day
Written by Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music ASCAP ©2021
How did you and me get shot into the future so quickly
Never giving any thought about the price we would pay
Any day the sun is shining through the clouds so freely
Could be the last good day
Music swirls around the room and we are happily listening
(Could be the last good, could be the last good day)
There’s a smile on every face that i am happy to see
(Could be the last good, could be the last good...)
And the one thing that we thought that we would never see ending
Would be the last good day
Living in the past
Gets you nothing but a lonely heart
Living way too fast
Brings you right back to the very start
You never thought that you would get this far
You couldn’t know that this was gonna be the last good day
Always climbing, always trying to get onto the hilltop
(Could be the last good, could be the last good day)
Putting off the things we should’ve done along the way
(Could be the last good, could be the last good...)
I just hope we’ll be together always playing and singing
Until the last good day

Homesick
Written by Ruby Bird, Published by Bonk Zone Music ASCAP ©2021
Sitting on the back porch laughing
Watching the daylight passing
Weren’t it great to live this life in style?
You can have your big old city
Neon lights are kinda pretty, but
I’d much rather see the open sky
Someday I’ll find a place that’s mine
But I get homesick all the time
My trees weren’t in a park
Safe to walk after dark
Seems as though I had a simpler life
My animals weren’t in a zoo
What’s in a zoo is you
When you’re caged in by walls on every side
I know I’ll find my place in time
But I get homesick all the time
I pound the pavement for a better place to stay
Someplace that feels like home
But running, building, crowding everywhere I turn
I only feel more alone
Been so long since I’ve seen your face
You bright wide open space
And I am gonna see you again someday
Right now my money is tight
Can’t seem to do anything right
“Maybe next year” is all I seem to say
I still get homesick every day
But…I know someday I’ll find my way

Just Carry On
Written by Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music, ASCAP ©2021
What is a day, what is an hour?
What is the clock up on the tower
Saying, praying
No time to think, no time to sleep
Into the night our dreams will creep
Playing something…
Waiting just in front of us
There must be someone to trust
There must be a place we belong
But until that day has come
And until the song is sung
You and I will just carry on...
In a song
With every night there is a dawn
With every thought there is a song
Singing, ringing
It’s not the past that we belong
It’s not the right, it’s not the wrong
Calling, falling
Waiting just in front of us
There must be someone to trust
There must be a place we belong
But until that day has come
And until the song is sung
You and I will just carry on...
It’s not the black, it’s not the white
It’s not the fear, it’s not the fright
Healing, screaming
Give us the time, give us the light
Give us the power to make it right
Feeling, believing…
Waiting just in front of us
There must be someone to trust
There must be a place we belong
But until that day has come
And until the song is sung
You and I will just carry on...
Carry on...in a song

Better Forever
Written by Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music, ASCAP ©2021
My mind is floating off to someplace better
A place where seas are smooth, no stormy weather
A place where skies are blue
And you too will feel better forever
Worldly things and theory strings just forget them
Blood will sting and birds will sing, Can you hear them?
I’ve waited for this time
When you too, can feel better forever
Come with me little one
To a place that I know
So let's go
It’s called love…….It’s called love
Tell me soothsayer how to get to where there is nothing
Forget your cares and footsteps where there is nothing
A place where skies are blue
And we two, will feel better forever
(You’ll feel better forever, We’ll feel better forever)
It’s called love….
