Song written from the prompt word challenge "bicycle", it ended up being a song about love is worth slowing down for, step out of the fast lane and take it slow, enjoy the ride.

Why Don't We Go Slow

A song about the joy of riding my motorcycle, where time slips away, and the road is my freedom.

So I Ride

A song I wrote that is in process of finding it's shape. It came from a conversation someone was having about a biscuit his wife liked a lot.

She's Smilling Big And Wide

I wrote this from the word Picture, got thinking how a perfect picture is filled with mysteries. Things are far from perfect. The song talks of the world needs mistakes and flaws, a reason for helping each other, supporting an loving doesn't always need a reason but, strife and mistakes brings us closer. Imperfections are the things that we fall in love with, two people compliment each other as there is a balance of strengths and weaknesses.

Perfection Can Go To Hell

A man who has worked hard all his life that he is worn out, it talks of a man's home is his castle but without the Queen, his castle is nothing more than walls.

A Castle Made For Two

[vs]
it's the last time I work on the line
I'm laying down my tools
shift work all my life
I'm heading home for good

[vs]
I got plans to catch the sunrise
with a cup in my hand
go to bed when I want to
no more working for the boss man

[Chorus]
I finally reached that finish line
I'll throw my lunch box to the side
no more breaking my back to make a dime
I finally reached that finish line


[Bridge]
it's a new begining
a chance to live
do all those things 
I wished I did

I finally reached that finish line
I'll throw my lunch box to the side
no more breaking my back to make a dime
I finally reached that finish line

[vs]
 
I'm  walking out that door
don't need to come back here no more
I'll put my feet up, 
fall asleep in my chair

[Chorus]

The Finish Line

[Verse 1]

if dad's old guitar could talk
I know what it would say
it's been hidden in the closet
since Papa past away
 [Verse 2]
I miss the the way it sounded
when Papa touched the strings
now it lays quiet in it's coffin
Papa's name painted on its case

[chorus]
I don't want to be invisable
I don't need my strings to shine
maybe something in the middle
where you feel I'm worth your time 

you left me in the shadows
next to your winter coat
in a closet with the door closed
guess I don't matter anymore

[bridge]
once I was a song
that we all sang along
now my strings are out of tune
and my voice is gone

[verse 3]
I lay silent in my case  
my strings are out of place
my voice is a memory
that time will erase

[chorus]
I don't want to be invisable
I don't need my strings to shine
maybe something in the middle
where you feel I'm worth your time 

you left me in the shadows
next to your winter coat
in a closet with the door closed
guess I don't matter anymore
 
 [chorus]
I don't want to be invisable
I don't need my strings to shine
maybe something in the middle
where you feel I'm worth your time 

maybe something in the middle
where you feel I'm worth your time

I Don't Want to Be Invisible

[Verse 1]    
                                                                                                                                                             
 Chaos is a state of mind 
that needs a resolution
you stand there and watch the time
I find a solution

step aside 
boss-man please
while I roll my sleeves

I can fix most anything
there ain't much I ain't seen

[chorus]
you may see impossible
to me, there's no such thing
all I see is difficult
and difficult is my thing

[vs 2]

driving home, the traffic's tense
folks running late again
some guy in a pickup truck 
cursing at the wind 

he's racing down the road
from the green light to the red
swerving in and out of line
trying to get ahead

[chorus]
you may see impossible
to me, there's no such thing
all I see is difficult
and difficult is my thing


[bridge]
you can choose to stand there with a dumb look on your face
or you can try to fix it and learn from the mistakes

[vs 3]
I was but a young man when I got to do my thing
there's always a solution when you take the time to think

[chorus]
you may see impossible
to me, there's no such thing
all I see is difficult
and difficult is my thin
