Hey man, hey man, hey
I ain’t gonna waste my life on you
You ain’t worth my time, a tic or two
You ain’t worth the gum on my working boots
You ain’t worth it
Take my everything – my house, my loot
Take this singing voice – my guitar too
Take my living soul – that jokes on you
You can’t hurt me
Come after me, come after me
Take a swing and deceive
You ain’t gonna ever touch me, turned your back on glory
Cannot believe, cannot believe
It is finished, I’m free
I’m digging on the way you love me
I love the way you love me
Waste another minute – I refuse
You ain’t worth a thought – all lies, no truth
You aint’ worth the swill of my cheap old booze
You ain’t worth it – ya’ll forsaken
Take my suit, my threads, my shiny shoes
Take my ride – all primed up for a cruise
Take my accolades – nothing to prove
You can’t touch me
Come after me, come after me
Take a swing and deceive
You ain’t gonna ever touch me, turned your back on glory
Cannot believe, cannot believe
It is finished, I’m free
I’m digging on the way you love me
I love the way you love me
Love
Oh – oh – oh, oh, oh
Digging on the way you love
Hey man, I ain’t gonna say again
Hey man, I said you’re never gonna win my soul
Hey man, I said, hey man – you gotta let me go
You gotta let me go
I see where I belong
Hey man, I said, hey man – hey
Come after me, come after me
Take a swing and deceive
You ain’t gonna ever touch me, turned your back on glory
Cannot believe, cannot believe
It is finished, I’m free
I’m digging on the way you love me
I love the way you love me

Spent my living sitting picking the guitar
Man be saying, son you’ll never get too far
So take my days, you gotta take my breathe away
Swindle me, deceiving me, nobody believing me – come on now
Say ol’ fella, come play on my guitar
Pay no heed to the ones brining you down
Live & love, you gotta take your place above
Everybody seeing it, now all of yall believing it – come on now
So I sing
Oh wayoo – Whoa
Everybody singing about my beat, it goes – ay, ay, ay
Spin my little lady, just watch my lead, I say – ay, ay, ay
Come on everybody let’s sing with me, ladies & my fellas come dance and spin
Oh yeah
Everybody come see my dream
Play that music – play in peace with me
Sing my brother, my sister bring that beat.
It’s all, it’s alright with me
It’s all, it’s alright my baby it’s all, it’s all, it’s alright
It’s alright, oh babe I’ll sing another number
Spinning, Dancing – Everybody love, living, and laughing
Play it again, sing it my friend
Spinning, we’re spinning, we’re spinning away
We sing
Oh, oh, oh wayoo. Whoa.
This is my song, sing along
When you ask me, I’ll say – take my hand come sing and play with me
When you ask me, I’ll say – step across the line and play with me
When you ask me, I’ll say – open up the door and play with me
When you ask me, I’ll say – sing

Forget You
05:34
|

Where did you go, my love – the one that I used to know
How could you go – you left me cold – way down on lonely road
Why play my soul –I’m losing control – been beaten like rock and roll
What did you know
The night before, the time before, the one before
Used to tell you, I love you
Whisper back, tell me that you love me too
I don’t know, which way I do
Now you tell me, you hate me
Simmer down you devil, send him on my way
I don’t know, how to play my move
Forget you
You told me so, one night – You’re never gonna let me go
Don’t set that tone – You lied to me before – shame on me once more
Can’t I just let you go – Leave a note – slipped under the door
I gotta, gotta live my own
Live it up, take it on, moving on
Used to tell you, I love you
Whisper back, tell me that you love me too
I don’t know, which way I do
Now you tell me, you hate me
Simmer down you devil, send him on my way
I don’t know, how to play my move
Forget you
Don’t say, baby I’m sorry
Help me, I need you to save me
All said, when you turned your soul
Go back, we’re gonna mend it
Not me, I’ve seen that ending
Roll on, let me fly my soul
I see, I see so clearly now
My heart, my life ain’t beaten down
Try me, try and take it
No chance, to bend or break my soul
My soul, my soul, my soul, my soul – cannot break my soul
My soul, my soul, my soul – I said, I said, I said you cannot break my soul
This love me, save me – tired and cold
Take it to another soul
Time to change our roles
Listen close, I’ll never be – never
Never be alone – oh
I’ll never tell you, I love you
Whisper back, tell it to another fool
I know now, which way I do
Go ahead and tell me, you hate me
Simmer down you devil, bring him on my way
I see now, how to play my move
It’s time I forget you (repeat)

Sunshine
05:04

Like my father taking my hand
Infinite loving, grace in my plans
Shot of sunshine – instead of that moonshine
I said I’m saved
Early evening slamming down ‘ol moonshine
Stumbling man sits next to me
He said, “let me tell you a little something ‘bout this life”
Raise my head, set my plea – you gotta let me be
He goes, how you treating your little lady, how you loving your newborn baby
See you’ve been running, my son – better get back home
Might be talking a little crazy, truth flowing – seen it lately
Open your eyes, surely see
Thinking how can this ‘ol fellow know me
Man of mystery
Digging deep inside my soul
Shame that I already know
Like my father, taking my hand
Infinite loving, grace in my plans
Shot of sunshine – instead of that moonshine
I said I’m saved
Early morning, walking that cold shoreline
Wise ‘ol lady steps to me
She says, “let me tell you a little something ‘bout this life”
Shake my head in disbelief – how can this be
She goes, how you treating your little lady, how you loving your newborn baby
Been slipping for some time, my son – without a life of love
Look at your reflection, baby – scars showing, that does phase me
Open your mind – surely see
Thinking how can this ‘ol lady know me
Woman of mystery
Digging deep inside my soul
Shame that I already know
Like my mother, taking my hand
Infinite loving, grace in my plans
Shot of sunshine – instead of that moonshine
I said I’m saved
Thinking there’s a number to beat
Fool you better call on me
You make me dance, make me dance, make me dance
Rain your loving into me
Thankful that you’re looking at me
Ain’t much a mystery
Digging deep inside my soul – shame running me no more
Like my father, taking my hand
Infinite loving, grace in my plans
Shot of sunshine – instead of that moonshine
I said I’m saved

Hurricane

Stealing my heart again
This could be the end
My whole life, crying eyes – say goodbye
I’m kicking and fighting, but you ain’t looking or trying
See there ain’t no denying – I can’t take it no more
No, no, no – let me go
She let me go (save)
Save my broken soul
My heart you stole – take no more – let me go
Yeah, I said she let me go – to take control (ohh)
I adored, mi amor
I know I can’t restore (ay, ay, ay)
Now I know, now I know
(repeat)
She let me go (save)
Save my broken soul
My heart you stole – take no more – let me go
Don’t you ever – hurt me the same
Won’t you ever – carry your blame
Can you feel it – can you feel my pain
Standing on my own now I can see through the rain
You were running through my life just like a hurricane
Now I see my – now I see my way
Oh, it’s my life, my life – My cry, my cry
Oh wayoo – let me go
Oh, it’s my life, my life – My time, my time
Oh wayoo – let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go – take that knife from my soul
She let me go (save)
Save my broken soul
My heart you stole – take no more – let me go
She let me, let me go
You saved me, my broken soul
My heart you stole, take no more

The Story

Come with me, my love
How can it be, my love
Ain’t my scene, my love
Can’t you see
Look at me, my love
Ain’t meant to be, my love
Go be free, my love – again
Hey I need to tell my story
Need to say I’m doing alright
Take a page or two – take one rhyme
Taking life to one that’s finer
Step away from petty lies
Page by page into a better life
A travesty, my love
Don’t you see, my love
I can’t be me, my love
Why can’t you see
This ain’t a dream, my love
Open and see, my love
Time to leave, my love – again
Hey I need to tell my story
Need to say I’m doing alright
Take a page or two – take one rhyme
Taking life to one that’s finer
Step away from petty lies
Page by page into a better life
Life, life, life
About that time to turn around
Say what I say
Be who you be – breathe it every living day
Ain’t no time to make it right
I’ve seen what I need
So leave, leave, leave
The final scene, my love
It’s destiny, my love
Let’s be friendly, my love – again
Hey I need to tell my story
Need to say I’m doing alright
Take a page or two – take one rhyme
Taking life to one that’s finer
Step away from petty lies
Page by page into a better life

Faith & Fury
06:34
|

Got a lot of hate – spinning me around
Looking like a fake – gonna bring me down
Ohh, hate for the sham man, money man, lying, entitled man
Cannot understand their plan
Lot of ache, pulling on me now
Like a weight I’m holding in deep, cold ground
Need a hand – soon to drown
Take it away, save my day – take my hate, my pain
Need a little faith – need to simmer down
Haters gonna hate – see it round and round
I’m running thin now, faith down, turn me around
Need amazing grace be found
Needing faith – help me settle down
Like a weight I’m holding in deep, cold ground
Need a hand – soon to drown
Take it away, save my day - take my breathe and say
Tweedlie dee, tweedlie da – sweedlie dee, sweedlie da, my friend
Everbody living in rage, fury - Let it go, live another day
Tweedlie dee, tweedlie da – sweedlie dee, sweedlie da, my friend
Hating and be taking that soul away - Sing another day-ay-ay
Need a little space – need a little ground
Feeling like a slave – take the hating crown
Then He said – hey man, stay man, fight with you I’m winning
You got an ace, looking at a clown
Get on my train – it’s running with steam in style
Take my hand, see my child
Take it away, save your day – take my breath and say
Tweedlie dee, tweedlie da – sweedlie dee, sweedlie da, my friend
Everbody living in rage, fury - Let it go, live another day
Tweedlie dee, tweedlie da – sweedlie dee, sweedlie da, my friend
Hating and be taking that soul away - Sing another day-ay-ay
Need to find and save myself
Where do I stand when my light ends – man with a reaching hand, missing you
Where do I stand when my light ends – man with a reaching hand, missing you
Where do I stand when my light ends – reaching hand, missing you
My stand
I can’t take another – ego loving brother
Don’t you make me suffer – save that for your mother
I can’t take that simple man – come on and take to your candyland
I can’t take another – I can’t take another
Little diddy, come take my hand – Silly billy, take my hand
Take it away – you saved my day

Save a Song
07:00

Say, what a tragedy
For just one king to be so wanted
He was just this kid
A little kid who so wanted
To make us smile, to make us laugh, make us dance – just a little while
We couldn’t leave it at that moment
More and more we wanted – more and more he gave it all
Now we’re left, singing this song
Sing, sing, sing this song
I can’t explain
All this pain I feel inside
I cannot try
Try to describe how my life would’ve changed
Take me back, back to the day that you lay – on that cold, dark floor
We wanted more, but now you’re gone – begging for a song – wishing you were here again
To make us laugh, so we don’t cry
Dance for a little while
Now we’re left, singing this song
Sing, sing, sing this song (a new song, a new song)
Where did you go again, you left a friend
One that could never be replaced
Someday we’ll meet again
Save a song for me
One more breathe of air (repeat)
One more breathe of air
Let me keep it here
Won’t you help me carry on

Bring That Beat
06:15

I was slipping down the line – reminiscing some times
Where did I go
Then I see the city shine screaming at me – oh my
Think it’s time to lose control (oh oh oh)
Looking lovely (lovely), seems a little crazy (crazy)
City of loving, you bring me to my knees – to my knees
I think I made it (made it), dynamite amazing (amazing)
Lose control – let’s rock and roll
Love city – shining on you and me
See it surrounding – love what I can feel, breathe
Love city – one love to be defining
I see the sunshine bringing the beat – shine down on me
Went back to my town preaching country miles – begging yall to slow that roll
I said now, listen man, I see you need a little better plan
Think it’s time you let it go (oh oh oh)
Said it’s lovely (lovely), seems a little crazy (crazy)
City of loving, brings you to your knees – to your knees
I think you’ll make it (make it), dynamite amazing (amazing)
Lose control – let’s rock and roll
Love city – shining on you and me
See it surrounding – love what I can feel, breathe
Love city – one love to be defining
I see the sunshine bringing the beat – shine down on me
Bring that beat back, bring it back, bring it back to me (oh oh oh oh)
Bring that beat again – sunshine come fill my foe, my friend
Bring it – come on, send that love again
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back – oh
What you gonna do about yourself -- Take your wrecking to my hometown
Bring it, bring that shine
Release the pain & rain & drain & vain – it’s change
What you gonna do about yourself -- Meet the maker, let love prevail
Bring it, bring that shine -- We got the means to our needs to feel, see, dream
One time, two time, three time, four time
City of loving swinging into primetime
Come on everybody get crazy -- We got the means to our needs to feel, see, dream
What you gonna do about yourself -- Bring the jigging to this stage now
Bring it, bring it – bring it back, back, back back…. oh
Baby, baby can’t you see
Won’t you come and take a look inside with me
The loving in this city sets your body free
I’m loving every minute – take a ride with me
Baby, baby can’t you see
Won’t you come and take a look inside with me
The loving in this city sets your body free
I’m loving every minute – take a ride with me
Oh baby, take it really slow
Follow me, to see your mind be blown
City of the loving releasing
We got the means to our needs to feel, see, dream
Oh yeah, Oh yeah -- We got the means to our needs to feel, see, dream
Baby, baby can’t you see
Won’t you come and take a look inside with me
The loving in this city sets your body free
I’m loving every minute – take a ride with me

I am a school administrator by day. Daddy by night (and day). Songwriter whenever I can squeeze it in. While part of me wishes I had more time to play and write music, most of me wouldn't have it any other way. I love my family. I love my God. I love my life. Though I have no interest in touring, my dream is to have my music do the traveling for me. Here's to hoping one of my songs gets picked up. ... more
