Fold the Highway

If I could fold the highway like a map
I’d draw a door from here to where you nap
Slide it open right into your room
Barefoot steps and hearts in bloom
I’d brush your hair while you brush your teeth
Tuck in close like I never leave
You’d smile and say, “You can’t be real”
And I’d say, “Come here — let me show you how I feel”

I’d teleport to you if I just knew how
Drop right in and spin you ‘round right now
No more waiting, no more lonely nights
Just your hands in mine and the morning light
You could wash my back, I’ll dry off yours
I’ll brush your hair, then love you some more
I’d bend the rules and the stars somehow
If I could fold the highway right now.

I’d time it perfect — step in with the water runnin’
You’d toss me a towel like the trouble’s just beginnin’
Say “go on babe, I’ll cook you something sweet”
She plates it up like a five-star treat
You’d hum that tune I wrote of our first meet
Singin’ off-key, barefoot on the beat
Then pour my coffee with a little wink
And say, “Come get your kiss — but don’t you blink.”

I’d teleport to you if I just knew how
Drop right in and spin you ‘round right now
No more waiting, no more lonely nights
Just your hands in mine and the morning light
You could wash my back, I’ll dry off yours
I’ll brush your hair, then love you some more
I’d bend the rules and the stars somehow
If I could fold the highway right now…
If I could fold the highway…
If I could fold the highway right now.

Or maybe in a dream past midnight’s door
I slip on through across the bedroom floor
Leave my boots and time behind
With you, love’s always right on time

No ticking clocks, no worn-out miles
Just waking up beside your smile
No traffic jams, no weekend plans
Just tangled sheets and lazy hands
The world outside can wait its turn
There’s coffee, kisses, and skin to burn
If wishing made the real world bend
I’d fold that map and never leave again

I’d teleport to you if I just knew how
Drop right in and spin you ‘round right now
No more waiting, no more lonely nights
Just your hands in mine and the morning light
You could wash my back, I’ll dry off yours
I’ll brush your hair, then love you some more
I’d bend the rules and the stars somehow
If I could fold the highway right now…
If I could fold the highway…
If I could fold the highway right now.

Yeah… if I could fold the highway, babe
If I could fold the highway right now, I’d already be there with you.

A long-distance love song about teleportation, morning kisses, and folding space just to brush her hair and hold her a little longer. Playful, warm, and full of sunshine.

Fold the Highway

** Cheap Room, Rich Love **

We checked in with low hopes, two keys and a grin
Room Two-Ten, where the night would begin
Then down to the beach with a bottle of white
Brie and some bread in the warm summer light
You ran to the lake when the sun got too much
I stayed on the blanket, not ready to touch
You came back dripping, laughing out loud
Laid your cold, wet body on me like a cloud

In that cheap hotel room, we lit it up like gold
No food, just our kisses and a grip to hold
You whispered, “your hand on me”, like it meant everything
And I’d do it again, just to feel your cling
No stars overhead, just the pull of the moon
So rich in that moment… in that cheap hotel room.
In that cheap hotel room.

You looked in my eyes and softly said, “What?”
I smiled and replied, “You. What?” — like a shot
And we touched for hours, slow like a tide
Every glance, every graze, peeling back what we hide
It was our first time — but it felt like a spark
Like we’d never been touched, never opened that part
We made it feel new, like the world disappeared
No pasts, no rush — just us, right here

In that cheap hotel room, we lit it up like gold
No food, just our kisses and a grip to hold
You whispered, “your hand on me”, like it meant everything
And I’d do it again, just to feel your cling
No stars overhead, just the pull of the moon
So rich in that moment… in that cheap hotel room.
In that cheap hotel room.

We wandered the streets with cones in our hands
Raspberry for you, vanilla for this man
Street shows and laughter, the whole city spun
Two hearts in the crowd, beating as one
We’d waited so long just to share that delight
Talked of ice cream for weeks — it finally felt right
Sunlight and sweetness, your smile in the breeze
That moment was ours, simple and free
In that cheap hotel room...

Then Adele played low, soft as our skin
Your breath on my neck, your soul breathing in
We took our time, made it gentle and deep
Like two hearts waking up from a long, sacred sleep

Then we packed up our bags, left the key with a smile
Put miles between us — at least for a while
But this is a new love, a soft-burning flame
We pause, we live — and then light it again
One day we’ll stop pressing play and rewind
One day this pause will leave distance behind
But ‘til that moment, we’ll carry enough
To keep warm with the memory…
Of that cheap hotel love

In that cheap hotel room, we lit it up like gold
No food, just our kisses and a grip to hold
You whispered, “your hand on me”, like it meant everything
And I’d do it again, just to feel your cling
No stars overhead, just the pull of the moon
So rich in that moment… in that cheap hotel room

You looked at me and said, “What?”
I smiled and said, “I Love You, is What?.


////---------------------------------////

A heartfelt country ballad that captures the raw intimacy of a first romantic weekend shared between lovers. Set against the backdrop of a modest hotel room and a lakeside escape, the song blends gentle acoustic guitar with soulful male vocals to tell a story of passion, connection, and temporary goodbyes. With vivid storytelling and a soft Nashville twang, it paints a picture of stolen time, tender touches, and the richness found not in luxury, but in shared emotion. It’s a slow-burning, emotional track full of nostalgia, longing, and quiet joy.

Cheap Room, Rich Love (Nashville Cut)

** I’ll be Okay ** 

If you go first — and Lord, I hope you stay
The world would dim in a different way
You are the fire that walks so free
A heart like yours don’t come easy to me

You jump from planes and stand your ground
You don’t chase danger, but you don’t back down
You shine like truth in a world gone gray
If you were gone, I’d lose my way

⸻

So wait for me where the sky turns gold
Where the quiet ones and the brave grow old
If I’m still here, I’ll find my way
Just wait for me, I’ll be okay
If you go first, I’ll carry your flame
And live with your love in my everyday
If you go first… wait for me, bae
Just wait for me, I’ll be okay

⸻

You don’t go looking for a fight
But when it comes, you stand upright
And I’ll salute you with a toast and tears
But I’ll need you close for the coming years

You teach the wind what freedom means
With dusty boots and a young one’s dreams
You carry more than most would dare
With quiet strength and steady care

⸻

So wait for me where the sky turns gold
Where the quiet ones and the brave grow old
If I’m still here, I’ll find my way
Just wait for me, I’ll be okay
If you go first, I’ll carry your flame
And live with your love in my everyday
If you go first… wait for me, bae
Just wait for me, I’ll be okay

⸻

I’ll talk to you through thunder and the trees
In firelight, in sand, and foreign seas
You were meant to outlast the storm
To rise, to lead, to stand proud in uniform

⸻

And folks back home will speak your name
With quiet pride and love that stays
They’ll wear your light and hold it tight
And say you always did things right

And I’ll keep going, slow but true
With every breath, I’ll honour you
And if I fall, I’ll rise again
‘Cause I was loved until the end

⸻

So wait for me where the sky turns gold
Where the quiet ones and the brave grow old
If I’m still here, I’ll find my way
Just wait for me, I’ll be okay
If you go first, I’ll carry your flame
And live with your love in my everyday
If you go first… wait for me, bae
Just wait for me, I’ll be okay

Just wait for me, I’ll be okay

Wait for me, I’ll be okay

/////---------------------------/////

I’ll Be Okay is a tribute to a love that runs deep, quiet, and true.

Written from the heart of someone who loves a soldier — a fighter, a leader, a woman who walks through the world with strength and fire — this song is about the promise to keep living, to keep honouring, even if she goes first.

With soft acoustic guitar, military march snare, and haunting fiddle touches, the arrangement stays grounded and warm. The chorus gently rises, the harmonies linger, and the final line — “Wait for me, I’ll be okay” — lands like a whispered vow.

This song is for those who serve, and those who love them.


I’ll be Okay

** Say It Out Loud ** 

I used to choke on words I never said
Swallowed silence just to keep the peace instead
Smiled through storms, made quiet my home
But truth has a weight when you carry it alone

I was raised to be steady, not stir up the fight
To hold in the tremble and walk out polite
But lately I’ve felt this fire in my chest
It’s not anger — it’s the part I’ve suppressed

⸻

Now I’m learning to say it out loud
To stand in the storm and make myself proud
Speak what I feel — not what keeps folks proud
Yeah, I’m finding my voice in the cracks of the sound
And I won’t back down
Hell no — I’ll say it out loud

⸻

I’m tracing emotions I used to outrun
Giving names to the shadows I hid from the sun
It’s messy and hard, but I’m showing up
To rebuild the life I once called enough

⸻

Now I’m learning to say it out loud
To stand in the storm and make myself proud
Speak what I feel — not what keeps folks proud
Yeah, I’m finding my voice in the cracks of the sound
And I won’t back down
Hell no — I’ll say it out loud

⸻

I walked out the door of a life that looked right
Thirty years deep in a silent fight
Now I’m done shrinking to fit someone’s frame
I’m burning the script and reclaiming my name

⸻

This ain’t just healing — it’s a kind of war
Breaking patterns I can’t wear anymore
I’m not just surviving — I’m learning to be
The kind of man I’d trust to fight with me

⸻

Now I’m learning to say it out loud
To stand in the storm and make myself proud
Speak what I feel — not what keeps folks proud
Yeah, I’m finding my voice in the cracks of the sound
And I won’t back down
Hell no — I’ll say it out loud

No, I won’t back down
I’m saying it out loud

//// ------------------------------ ////

A gritty, defiant, country anthem about learning to speak the truth, stand your ground, and rebuild your life from the inside out.For the ones who’ve stayed quiet too long, who’ve smiled through storms, and finally decided to step into who they really are. Raw. Honest. Loud.

Say It Out Loud

** Runnin' Wild **

My head says slow, don’t fall this way
It's building walls, it wants me to wait
But my heart breaks loose, it won’t behave
It beats too loud, it won’t obey

My head says heal it right before a new love takes
My heart says jump, don’t you dare pump the brakes

⸻

My heart’s runnin’ wild and it won’t obey
She’s on the top shelf for me, that’s clear as day
My soul’s already hers, it found the way
I’m fallin’ in love, I can’t walk away

⸻

She’s waivin’ the yellow in the very first bend
I’m pedal to the metal, runnin’ full to the end
I dream of the trophy while she’s just cruisin’
My heart sees nothin’ but the checkered wavin’

My head says wait, better take it slow
My heart says fire, let the engine go

⸻

My heart’s runnin’ wild and it won’t obey
She’s on the top shelf for me, that’s clear as day
My soul’s already hers, it found the way
I’m fallin’ in love, I can’t walk away

⸻

Maybe I’m brave, or maybe I’m dumb
I just think my worn heart believes she’s the one

⸻

My heart’s runnin’ wild and it won’t obey
She’s on the top shelf for me, that’s clear as day
My soul’s already hers, it found the way
I’m fallin’ in love, I can’t walk away

My heart’s runnin’ wild and it won’t obey
She’s on the top shelf for me, that’s clear as day
My soul’s already hers, it found the way
I’m fallin’ in love, I can’t walk away

Yeah… I’m fallin’ her way

/////---------------------------------/////

It's a modern country anthem about the tug-of-war between heart and mind. With racing imagery, punchy hooks, and a chorus built for singalongs, it captures the rush of falling too fast for someone who isn’t ready to say “love” yet. Upbeat, danceable, and straight from the heart, it’s a track made for the floor and the radio.

Runnin’ Wild

** Wish I Was There **

She’s laughin’ in the sun, I can see it back home
In a dress I ain’t seen, standin’ out on her own
She’s shinin’ so bright, with that wild and honest smile
I’m happy she’s happy… but it stings for a while

⸻

I just wish I was there for the laugh she let fly
Wish I was there for the stars in her eyes
Wish I was there for the northern lights
Wish I was there for the slow dance that night
I just wish I was there when her world comes alive
Not hearin’ it later through pictures and lines
I’m not jealous of them —
I’m just jealous I’m not there

⸻

Ain’t about the people, or some stranger nearby
I know she’s mine — but I’m still not the guy
Who’s there when she laughs and the night passes by
I’m missing the moments, though her heart’s still with mine

⸻

I just wish I was there for the laugh she let fly
Wish I was there for the stars in her eyes
Wish I was there for the northern lights
Wish I was there for the slow dance that night
I just wish I was there when her world comes alive
Not hearin’ it later through pictures and lines
I’m not jealous of them —
I’m just jealous I’m not there

⸻


She’ll say, “You were with me,” and I know that’s true
But watchin’ from far don’t change the view
When she’s barefoot and laughin’, or dressed to be seen
If she’s sharin’ a moment, I wish it was with me

⸻

Maybe it’s selfish, and maybe it’s true
But all that I want is to be there with you
Every smile that I miss is a weight I can’t bear
I don’t want the story — I wanna be there

⸻

I just wish I was there for the laugh she let fly
Wish I was there for the stars in her eyes
Wish I was there for the northern lights
Wish I was there for the slow dance that night
I just wish I was there when her world comes alive
Not hearin’ it later through pictures and lines
I’m not jealous of them —
I’m just jealous I’m not there

I just wish I was there.

/////----------------------------------/////

“Wish I Was There” is a modern country song about missing the moments that matter — not out of fear or control, but out of pure love and longing. It’s the kind of jealousy that comes from being far away when her world comes alive, and all you want is to be the one beside her when it does. Catchy, emotional, and built for singing out loud with a full heart.

Wish I Was There

I prayed to God, I prayed to Venus
I called the name of Lord Jesus
I begged on Zeus to drop me clues
And his bolt struck me when I saw you

I called on Allah, Krishna too
On Buddha’s peace to guide me through
Odin’s wisdom, and spirits I knew
Just hoping for a love really true

So who do I thank for you tonight?
Was it written down by heaven’s might?
Was it fate that lit this fire so bright?
Who do I thank for you tonight?

I searched the skies through winds so rough
I swore the Eagle I’d never give up love
The Great Spirit answered from above
When you showed up, the proof thereof

So who do I thank for you tonight?
Was it written down by heaven’s might?
Was it fate that lit this fire so bright?
Who do I thank for you tonight?

Maybe it’s chance or destiny’s light
Maybe it’s luck that turned out just right
But whatever force that set us in sight
I’ll thank it forever, holding you tight

So who do I thank for you tonight?
Was it written down by heaven’s might?
Was it fate that lit this fire so bright?
Who do I thank for you tonight?
Who do I thank… for you tonight?

/////------------------------------/////

This modern country anthem is a heartfelt shout to the sky, asking which power — God, fate, destiny, or plain luck — put her on the singer’s path. With a driving beat, crowd-ready chorus, and a hook built for festival lights, its gratitude turned into music. A sing-along celebration of love, luck, and everything in between.

Who Do I Thank

I know I fell in love too fast
Tried to turn a spark into something that lasts
Lightning struck, I mistook the flame
For a steady fire that don’t burn the same

You weren’t searching, you were fine alone
Still you opened your heart, let this stranger be known
I came in too intense, and I know it felt wrong
Now I’m learnin' to love you in the way we belong

I can’t plant a seed and expect it just to grow
I can’t chase tomorrow, today is all I know
I can’t make the river faster than its flow
But I’ll start to love you in the way love should go
I want the kind of trust that time will never break
I want the steady ground no storm can ever shake
I want the quiet truth that only years can make
I want a love that lasts with every breath I take
(with every breath I take)

When the butterflies fade, I won’t walk away
I’ll be standing right here at the end of each day
I want the whole of you, not just a part
I’ll love who you are with all my heart

I barged in quick, disrupted your days
Now I’m learning love in a slower way

I can’t plant a seed and expect it just to grow
I can’t chase tomorrow, today is all I know
I can’t make the river faster than its flow
But I can learn to love you in the way love should go
I want the kind of trust that time will never break
I want the steady ground no storm can ever shake
I want the quiet truth that only years can make
I want a love that lasts with every breath I take
(with every breath I take)

I want a love that lasts with every breath I take
(with every breath I take)

/////------------------------------------/////

A tender modern country ballad about the truth of falling too hard, too soon. “I Fell Too Fast” is a confession of intensity and a promise to slow down, respect her pace, and build the kind of love that lasts. Stripped-back and intimate, it blends acoustic guitar, pedal steel, and warm baritone vocals into an honest, heartfelt performance.

I Fell Too Fast

I’ve walked through a nightmare, I’ve carried the weight
Told my girls the truth, watched her heartbreak
Said goodbye to the life I thought I knew
Then out of the ashes, I stumbled on you

Many months later, it’s hard to believe
Every touch, every laugh, still feels like a dream
You ain’t perfect, but I don’t need you to be
Your flaws fit mine, like they’re meant for me

If this is a dream, don’t take it away
Your love is the light at the end of my day
If this is a dream, I’m begging to stay
If this is a dream, don’t take it away

Yeah, don’t take it away

We talk ‘bout everything, it’s easy, it’s real
In your arms, I feel like the man I should be
You’re sexy and wild, you light up my days
And at night, girl, we burn in a thousand ways

If this is a dream, don’t take it away
Your love is the light at the end of my day
If this is a dream, I’m begging to stay
If this is a dream, don’t take it away

Yeah, don’t take it away

I don’t dream much, but am I dreaming now?
Feels too real to fade, too strong somehow
If I’m dreaming in a dream, girl, I don’t mind
Long as I wake and you’re still mine

If this is a dream, don’t take it away
Your love is the light at the end of my day
If this is a dream, I’m begging to stay
If this is a dream, don’t take it away

If this is a dream, I’m begging to stay
If this is a dream, yeah, don’t take it away

/////—————————————-/////

« If This Is A Dream » is a modern country festival-opener with driving guitars, banjo, steady drums, and a big sing-along chorus. It tells the story of finding love after a heartbreak, a love so powerful it feels like living in a dream. Catchy, upligting, and built for a crowd to sing back under summer lights.

If This Is a Dream

We tease each other just for fun, then laugh at what we’ve said
I steal a kiss before you speak, that’s how the story bends
A pair that fit together, like boots upon the land
Even doing nothing, girl, you make me feel a man

Life steals our days away, and changes plans we made
We say it’s okay, but the truth is I still ache
One day, the hourglass will run out in our hands
So I want to spend time with you while I still can

So I’ll hold you every time I can
Love you harder, every time I can
Do nothing with you, hand in hand
Make it something, every time I can
Steal a kiss, every time I can
Make you smile, girl, every time I can
Speak three little words, place 'em in your hand
Let’em mean it all, every time I can

It don’t take a front porch swing, or shootin' stars in the sky
Just a smile, just your laugh, just the glow in your eye 
Sharing sparks in the faded light, your heartbeat next to mine
That’s the kind of treasure I’ll be chasing all the time

So I’ll hold you every time I can
Love you harder, every time I can
Do nothing with you, hand in hand
Make it something, every time I can
Steal a kiss, every time I can
Make you smile, girl, every time I can
Speak three little words, place 'em in your hand
Let’em mean it all, every time I can

One day the road'll run short, our bodies will start to fail
Life turns the page too quick, no time to trim the sail
Let’s never leave our love on hold, or waste what’s in our hands
We only get so many nights — let’s spend them while we can

Life’s too short to wait, too quick to pass
Don’t trade tomorrow, for a second chance
If we’ve got a moment, let's claim it while it stands
And make it ours, every time we can

So I’ll hold you every time I can (every time I can)
Love you harder, every time I can (every time I can)
Do nothing with you, hand in hand
Make it something, every time I can (every time I can)
Steal a kiss, every time I can (every time I can)
Make you smile, girl, every time I can (every time I can)
Speak three little words, place 'em in your hand
Let’em mean it all, every time I can

Yeah, every time we can!
