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

Difficult Is My Thing

There May Not Be a Next Time

[Verse 1]
I do care what you say
I just can't find the time
I won't make a promise
if it turns to a lie

And I promised my little guy
to go out and hit the ball
so I'll give up my overtime
cause money can't buy it  all

[Chorus]
God bless the little hearts
for they grow up so fast
there might not be a next time
to make the memories last

tell them you that you loved them
hold them when they're sad
cause there might not be a next time
to make the memories last


[verse 2]
I'm not saying I'm a rich man
I have enough to get throught
money don't buy memories
and the children need us too

don't let life pass you by
for the dollars you can count
there might never be a next time
that I have no doubt

[Chorus]
God bless the little hearts
for they grow up so fast
there might not be a next time
to make the memories last

tell them you that you loved them
hold them when they're sad
cause there might not be a next time
to make the memories last

[bridge]
a promise from the heart 
is one I can't break
it don't cost me anything 
to go outside and play
 [Chorus]
God bless the little hearts
for they grow up so fast
there might not be a next time
to make the memories last

tell them you that you loved them
hold them when they're sad
cause there might not be a next time
to make the memories last
