Carried out 
Into the night 
Against my will
Beseeching death 
As if it were 
Some thrill. 
Selling my 
Honor for 
The value of 
A dollar. 
Not knowing 
Of a sponsor. 
Accepting my faith 
As my hand begins 
To shake. 
Puncturing my soul 
As a mind 
Looks to forsake. 
The actions of me 
As the angels 
Wait for my  
Choice to see. 
This immovable 
Blockage 
In front of me. 
The spark  
Of light 
As I quiver 
In fright. 
Lurching in 
The shadow’s plight 
The call 
To the light 
As the paramedics 
Work with 
All their might. 
Glimpses 
With delight 
That the mind 
Can see  
In the night. 
The awakening 
Of me 
Is the realization 
Of being subjected 
To what is free. 
The choice 
To breathe 
And follow 
The soul 
That’s purpose  
Is to lead. 
I bless 
The holiness 
In me. 
In silence 
And true  
Humility. 
“I am not a body 
I am free 
For I am 
Still as God 
Created me.” 
“Art is a lie 
That makes us 
Realize 
The truth.”

Can't Back Up

Keep walking on

A Man” is the story of someone who’s walked through hell and came out changed. Calm, quiet, and steady, he doesn’t move like everyone else because he’s already fought battles no one knows about. This track is raw and honest, built from scars and soul. I’m tired of people telling me how to write and sing — I am Outlaw Country, and I stand my ground. What you hear in this song is survival, truth, and fire-forged grit. Nothing polished, nothing fake — just a man, and the sound of his soul.

It’s Just A Song

Buck Ramble — When the Money Ain’t Never Over

Found in dusty reels marked “Goodnight Trail Sessions,” these are the long-lost recordings of Buck Ramble — the saloon singer turned silver-screen storyteller who lived long enough to see cowhands become celebrities.

Every track is a campfire sermon in rhythm: part truth, part tall tale.
He sings about lawmen, outlaws, faith, denial, women, whiskey, and the strange mercy of knowing too much.
By the time the record closes with the title track, Buck’s world has shifted from trail dust to camera lights — but the heart’s still out there under the same sky.

The Ballad of Bonnie & Clyde

Inspired by a timeless spiritual paradox, "The Open Gate" is a blues-folk story that suggests the most profound truth isn't hidden away for the chosen few—it's accessible to everyone.

Using the ancient parable of a loving father saving his children from a burning house, the song explores the idea that the greatest wisdom doesn't require immense skill or a lifetime of practice, but simply an open heart. With a soulful, acoustic groove, "The Open Gate" is a reminder that the path to peace is not a steep mountain to be climbed, but a door standing wide open for all.

Lyrics

(Intro - Acoustic guitar and a single, long slide guitar note)

(Verse 1)
Some folks try to climb a mountain, thinkin' that's the only way
Practice hard for countless ages, just to see a brighter day
They believe you gotta be a scholar, or a saint of high degree
That only the strongest souls can find the key to be set free
And for them, that road is true, but it's a hard and lonely state
It takes a will of iron just to get past the first gate

(Chorus)
But the Teacher, in his wisdom, he turned it all around
Said the truest, deepest teaching is for the lowest ground
Some paths say you must be worthy, before you even start
But the real Truth is a river, for every broken heart
It don't depend on your own power, your wisdom or your might
It's the power of the Love itself that brings the darkness into light

(Verse 2)
They tell a story 'bout a Father, watchin' his whole house burn down
His children played inside with toys, the most distracted kids in town
He called out, "I've got precious treasures, wonders to behold!"
A loving lure to save them from that ruin, weak and old.
But he didn't give those separate gifts, when they were safe and near, 
He gave them one great open road, and put an end to all their fear.

(Chorus)
'Cause the Teacher, in his wisdom, he turned it all around
Said the truest, deepest teaching is for the lowest ground
Some paths say you must be worthy, before you even start
But the real Truth is a river, for every broken heart
It don't depend on your own power, your wisdom or your might
It's the power of Love itself that brings darkness into light

(Bridge)
In these modern, troubled days, the world is full of strife
The old maps are all faded, they've lost the power for this life
So you don't need a grand cathedral, don't need a scholar's mind
The only thing that's asked of you is the faith that you can find
Just a simple act of trust, a whispered prayer or tune
To awaken that bright Spirit, that's been sleeping in the gloom

(Outro)
Yeah, the gate is standin' open, for the sinner and the saint
For the fisherman's child, the warrior, for the weary and the faint
The truest teaching... is for the open gate...

The Open Gate

“Name This Hunger” is a quiet, human anthem about learning meaning through kindness. A warm baritone tells the story with fingerpicked acoustic guitar, pump-organ undertones, brushed snare, and bowed metal swells. The imagery is tactile—bowl, spoon, bridge, river—grounding a chorus built to be sung together. For night drives, small rooms, and anyone who needs a gentle word that still carries weight.
