♠️ Inspired by: Kenny Rogers’s “The Gambler”

I grew up hearing Kenny Rogers say, “You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em,” and that line never really left me. This song is what it looks like when you actually try to live by that advice.

“Just Got to Know When” follows a younger man who met the gambler once, years ago — and spent a lifetime trying to walk in the wisdom he heard that night. It’s about choices, losses, and learning when to stay and when to walk away.

It’s not just about cards — it’s about life, love, and having the guts to let go when it’s time. The gambler’s gone now… but the lesson stayed.

Just Got To Know When

A fun and clever country song about the struggle to write a song. The singer walks through town, the woods, and his own thoughts—until inspiration finally strikes… but he won’t tell you what it is. Playful, relatable, and catchy with a classic country twist.

If you like this song please share & go to all the streaming platforms and help me get it out there, please!

Still Ain't Wrote It Yet

“Her Kitchen Was Home” by Rick Lawson is a heartfelt tribute to the quiet power of a grandmother’s love. With warm melodies and vivid storytelling, the song paints a picture of memories made in the heart of the house — the kitchen. It’s a place where comfort simmered in pots, laughter echoed off the walls, and life’s hardest moments were softened by a home-cooked meal. This soulful ballad captures the beauty of everyday moments and the way love lingers long after the dishes are done.
