When I was a boy I had big hopes and dreams
I wanted to be on the front of magazines
But now that I’m older there’s one thing on my mind
I’m tired of getting by on quarters and dimes
So I’m selling all my pride instead of taking out a loan
That easy money fever shook me down to the bone

I’m tired of playing cool, it took the life out of me
I had to move on and stop living in memories
See I don’t mind giving up my old thrills
Cause now I’m getting off on paying my bills
When I check my account and that direct deposit clears
That easy money got me grinning from ear to ear 

Easy money 
Got me living my best life
Easy money’s been treating me right

Call me a square you can say I’m selling out
But I can afford the life that I have dreamt about 
I dont need a handout or generosity 
Nobody can say I’m living off their charity 
You better pay attention to what I confess
That easy money livings killing all of my stress

If it’s the root of all evil I’m down to be bad
Money made me happy now I’m done being sad
Don’t care about possessions or being upper class
Just trying to keep collectors from riding on my ass
I put food on the table and new clothes on my back
If you think that is wrong, your thinking is wack
When you get to my age security is key
That’s why I’m done playing games, give me that easy money

Easy Money

I Want U

Keep On Movin'

This song was written for family and friends going through hard times to let them know they don't have to go through it alone.

Reach Out Your Hand

"Everybody wants to hear a song about love. Well love to me has been a one lane road."

One Lane Road

UNDER THE MISTLETOE 
It’s been a real long year
But the end is finally here
Decorations on the doors
Crowds in every store
I’ve been trying to behave
Cause Santa’s coming on his sleigh
But I didn’t make a list
I only have one wish

All I want this year for Christmas
Is someone I can share a kiss with
Under the mistletoe 
I’m not gonna act discretely
I just want someone to meet me
Under the mistletoe 

Now it’s getting cold outside
But the fire is burning bright
I wanna cuddle close
But I’m only seeing ghosts
I’m not asking for too much
But this loneliness feels rough
Is someone gonna save
My dreary holiday

There’s a second stocking on my mantle longing for a name
There’s an extra cup of cocoa I keep pouring down the drain 
This season would be so much better
If Santa would answer my letter
And bring me someone I can love
On this Christmas Day

Under the Mistletoe
