I played a beat-up cassette in my car in Nashville one day and heard this song. I thought, "I should sing like that." Then I realized it was me, I had recorded it on my portable machine after a writers night, it was late, I was very drunk. I'd completely forgotten I ever wrote it. So I got my then band together (the original Lonely Mammals) and we recorded it in 2003. But this is a brand new vocal I did in 2024. 
LYRIC:
As the freeway disappears against the sky
I hold on to the wheel and wonder why
I'm stuck without a dream or a prayer
On a road that ain't goin' anywhere
I guess that's the best I can do
Since my heart lost its way back to you

The lights of the city hit my eyes
Then the darkness of the country passes by 
The city was my shining fantasy
And the country was a refuge for me
But now there's no difference in the two
Since my heart lost its way back to you

There's a tree line silhouetted by the moon
And the dawn it will be coming soon
And the river, silver by my side
Will burn with the rising of the light
But there's no one for me to show it to
Since my heart lost its way back to you

As the freeway disappears against the sky

Roots & Reverie explores the dance between grounded tradition and wandering dreams. Each song is a metaphor for something deeper—love, loss, memory, change—told through imagery inspired by nature, folklore, and the quiet spaces between words. It’s an album that feels like a journal left open on a porch swing, pages fluttering in the wind.

There's a house on the rock, where the s (1)

Ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhhh

[Verse 1:]
Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Yeah

I know, I know
When I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"
I say,

[Chorus:]
When I see your face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are).
Yeah

[Verse 2:]
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday,

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say,

[Chorus:]
When I see your face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)

The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)

[Chorus:]
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

Yeah

The most important people in your life are the ones who reach out to you. Whether it’s to make plans or to catch up or if it’s as simple as “hey, this reminded me of you today, how are you?” These are the people that are going to be there when you need them, when no one else is, when you’re at your worst. Because sometimes you don’t need someone you’re close with, someone you’ve known your whole life- sometimes you just need someone who’s there.
