Nice guitar, and you sing really human life,I respect! Very beautiful song!

Not a fan of country music usually, but I am a fan of good music with wholesome positive message and good vibes, and this song, is as good as it gets. 

trucks made in Japan? wearin' mama's pants? Y'all crack me up! 

Great lyrics, great song and for many years I couldn’t wash the ground in dirt off my hands.

i simply can't beleive only a few comments ...this is an amazing song ...the way you add the verses and pull in the chorus or hook line. You REALLY GOT A HIT SONG HERE MAN ... I MEAN IT ...problem is the record buyers today don't get their hands dirty ...BUT at live stadium gigs , with the right country artist this could be his  main song ...totallt love this ..

Absolutely classic man.  Holds the country vibe throughout.  That's hard for me to do.  Great songwriting.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin

Drank a few beers
And a little rum
At the end of the night
I'd make my way home
Home was a house 
Half way up to the sky
Where I'd look down 
On the birds flying by

When life was so slow
And I did what I pleased
When my days were so full
Many moments to seize
When time was my own
With so much to waste
When life was straightforward
And not two faced

DON'T TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED
TAKE IT ALL IN
WHEN WILL IT END
WHERE DID IT BEGIN
NOW I'M SO GRATEFUL
FOR THOSE LITTLE THINGS
THE AUTUMNS THE WINTERS
THE SUMMERS AND SPRINGS

But soon that time
Had  gone so fast
And soon that time
That I thought would last
Had disappeared
To who knows where
And all of a sudden
There's no time to spare

Don't Take Life For Granted (Cooper/Donkin Collaboration)

Credit to Overdrive, who took a simple song with simple lyrics, worked around the chaos and created something of pure magic. Taking what nobody else heard and making it into a reality. This song came to life, representing exactly how I felt when I wrote it. I’ll forever be grateful for this simple act of grace and amazing talent. Thank you Overdrive for everything!

The Tumultuous Journey of the Reflection of Purple Hangings on the Soft Blue Sea...

I feel privileged yet again to have had a chance to collaborate with such talented and experienced musicians. Thank you all! 

The lyrics are dedicated to my former workplace from a few years ago. I knew I had to one day do something. Little did I know it was with music. 😉

Space Gate

wistful old fashioned

A song I wrote and recorded.

Working hard is what I do, And I got to pay a bill or two
See I got a home and a family
These two hands earn daily bread, so I can keep my children fed
Now there’s  something I just want to say.

I eat my lunch with dirty hands, I aint ashamed of what I am
Got a blue collar round my neck, I break my back for my paycheck
I don’t have money to gills, but I got skills that pay the bills
I hope you understand, I eat my lunch with dirty hands

I don’t get young folks these days, seems to me they’ve lost their way
I hate to sound like an old man with his rants
But I like to wear pants that fit, so when im working they don’t split
See my daddy didn’t raise his boys to wear their mommas pants.

I eat my lunch with dirty hands,I aint afraid to work the land
Toting hay and plowing ground, I work until the sun goes down
If you go to a booth to get a tan, or drive a truck made in japan
Then you wont understand, I eat my lunch with dirty hands

I don’t drive no limousine, save that for the beauty queen
Give me a 4x4 or two or three
I don’t have no  fancy yacht, but I’m sure thankful for what I got
A man needs a home and country where he can be free

I eat my lunch with dirty hands, cause im a blue collar man
Im always haulin or a choppin wood, I bust my knuckles underneath the hood
I don’t mind working in the rain, where there’s no pain there is no gain
I know you understand, yall eat your lunch with dirty hands

Blue Collar Man (I Eat My Lunch With Dirty Hands)

First, I would like to say thank you for reading this. That means that you liked my songs enough to see what I’m about. That means a lot to me.
I’m a working man and a family man. The years digging ditches and breaking my back to put food on the table, has given me enough ammo to write a song or two. I like to write songs about real life with all of its struggles, beauty and grit…

In this digital age of perfect music I'm trying to leave the human imperfections in the tracks. Most parts are done straight through with no splices. A missed note or chord here or there, bit out of time...trying to keep it raw. Maybe I go too far sometimes?

I don't play games on SoundCloud. If I like your music ill like it and follow you. I wont unfollow you even if you don't follow me back!  If you do I'll be delighted though!
