Country Wide Open

Born to Raise Hell

[Verse 1]
Step forth, unbar the skies,
For I’ve atoned my burdens fully, ready for the end’s reprise.
I sensed my path was sealed,
The fates we thought had faded only honed their fiery steel.

[Chorus]
Have you lingered long,
For me?

[Verse 2]
I am the final spark, I am the flame,
What’s lost in ancient scrolls will carve my essence in its claim.
Sift through the ash and stone,
What use are dreams of flight when all the heavens stand alone?

[Chorus]
Have you lingered long,
For me?
Have you lingered long?

[Verse 3]
No matter what we crave,
We share a hunger for each other and a few brief years to brave.
No matter what’s the truth,
It feels that even in eternity, your shadow walks with me.

[Breakdown]
Break the chains, reveal my name,
Ash to ember, spark to flame.
Where shadows fall, my truth remains,
Bound in hunger, born in pain.

[Final Chorus]
Have you lingered long,
For me?
Have you lingered long,
For me?
Have you lingered long,
Through the ash and stone?
Have you lingered long,
Calling me home?
Have you lingered long,
For me?
Have you lingered long,
For me?

Lingered Long

A surf-rock story about a Florida surfer visiting his old girlfriend in San Diego—only to discover she’s taking him to the West Coast’s most infamous nude beach. He hits the waves, catches sight of the scene, and slowly learns to let go (and strip down). Classic beach humor, sunny twang, and a wink at West Coast freedom.

LYRICS
(C)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[Verse 1]
Flew in from F.L.A., board in the bag,
Ron John stickers on the rental rag.
Met up with my ex, she said, “Let’s hit the coast,
There’s a secret beach I like the most.”
She packed a cooler, said, “You’ll love the scene,”
I waxed my board, she spread sunscreen.

[Chorus 1]
I didn’t know about Black’s Beach,
Thought it was just another reach of sand.
Sunshine, shoreline, breakers to teach—
Didn’t know what was coming to this man.

[Verse 2]
Caught a clean set, feelin’ alive,
Looked toward shore on my final ride.
Half the crowd was bare as day,
My old flame waving—same old way.
I asked, “Don’t you mind folks that stare?”
She said, “It's your eyes drifting there.”

[Chorus 2]
Didn’t expect at Black’s Beach
To see the locals au naturel.
I wiped out twice, my jaw in reach—
Guess I’m the square, can’t you tell?

[Bridge]
Finished my run, watched the sun roll down,
Nobody cared, not a soul in town.
All easy smiles, nothing to preach,
Just bodies and laughter on Black’s Beach.

[Verse 3]
Pulled off my trunks, tossed ‘em aside,
Figured I’d go with the current’s tide.
She grinned and said, “Took you long enough,”
And man, that water was cold but tough.
Now we’re both tan in that golden reach,
Feelin’ the freedom of Black’s Beach.

[Chorus 3 / Final]
Now I know about Black’s Beach,
Just remember to take your trash.
Caught one wave, caught her heart again—
Livin’ free where the boss waves crash.

Black's Beach

Scars on the soul. Fire in the veins. The long road ahead.
Broken Highway is Frost Livingston’s return to the open road — a blues-soaked, southern-rock journey through heartbreak, survival, and redemption.

Each song burns with truth — from the storm-soaked swagger of “Whiskey Rain” to the late-night ache of “Cold Coffee Blues” and the triumphant fire of “Crash and Rise.” It’s the sound of a man who’s been through hell and came back driving harder than ever.

Gritty guitars, cinematic storytelling, and southern soul collide across 14 tracks that tell the next chapter of a life rebuilt from the ashes.
This isn’t just blues — it’s life behind the wheel, headlights through the dark, and faith that refuses to die.

“Broken Highway isn’t about where you’ve been — it’s about how far you’re willing to go.”

hd_1. broken highway

I ran so far past all my lines
I tore the map that once was mine
Chasing goals that swallowed me whole
Trading every heartbeat just for control

I moved through fire when I cracked
Carrying a body I never got back
Halfway broken, halfway blind
But turning back felt like suicide

And every time I try to breathe
Another part of me must bleed
I see the mirror start to shake
I know exactly who will break

I burn my boundaries just to stand
I crush my soul with my own hands
I’m both the weapon and the wound
The voice that drives me to my doom
If I collapse before I rise
Let it be known when my heart dies
I wasn’t killed by fate or fear
But by the war I built in here

I’m tired of living razor-thin
Of carving purpose into my skin
Of breaking bones to hold a dream
That keeps erasing pieces of me

My pulse is fading into dust
My will is rust, my hope mistrust
But if I stop before the end
Everything shatters, nothing will mend

The enemy is wearing me
He knows my thoughts, he hides my grief
He whispers “more” when I can’t stand
He pulls the strings with my own hands

I burn my boundaries just to stand
I crush my soul with my own hands
I’m both the weapon and the wound
The voice that drives me to my doom
If I collapse before I rise
Let it be known when my heart dies
I wasn’t killed by fate or fear
But by the war I built in here

Maybe someday I’ll learn to say “enough”
Before the fall becomes too rough
Before the ones who held my light
Drown in the smoke of my endless fight

So I burn my boundaries once again
I drag my ghosts across the end
I am the fire and the ash
The silent scream behind the crash
If I collapse before I rise
Remember this when my heart dies
I wasn’t killed by pain or time
I was destroyed by my own climb

Burn My Boundaries

As many people probably don’t realize, Alberta where i live is going through a transition. We are trying to separate from Canada to become our own Nation. I wrote this song for the people of Alberta to keep the fire burning until we have our Referendum. God Bless Alberta and may she be Free on day.

Born To Blaze Our Own Way

Dark Country 5 - I'm A Bad Man

Dark rock

Melancholic fire. 

Two halves of the same soul.

Hope and rage. 

Light and shadow.



Dualism is the key.

This is Bullywave.

Enjoy the ride.
