I wrote this song in late 1999. I was on my way to perform at the Reo Palm Isle when the first words to this song came to mind. As soon as I pulled up to the club I ran inside as they were just finishing up with dance lessons. There were about a 150 people the for dance class, so I ran up to the stage, grabbed a tablet that sat on the edge for song request from fans and began to write the words down on paper right there in front of everyone then I sang the song with my flat top guitar and they all started clapping. So when I finished, i wrote a music chart out so when the band arrived I could show them the number charts. That night, after reviewing the charts in the office with my band, we performed the song the same night in front of more than a thousand people, and the crowd went crazy, they loved it. It became like my song, "Naomi," and instant nightly request. "Thank you, God, for the songwriting talents you blessed me with". Greg Cardenas Sr.

Rodney Roach and myself, were in my recording studio for practice when he was simply playing a melody on the guitar and I said , "hey Rod, play that again, and then together we both ended up with this song. The evening we wrote the song we in my studio, I had the recorder turned on and running in case we did something off the top of our heads, and that's just what we did that night. The moment he had the melody together I just started singing the first line, "See the green on the mountain tops in the morning," and I came up with the words completely off the top of my head and Rodney's melody on the guitar spilled out like the sound of pouring rain, all into place simultaneously as the song was written in one single take. Not one word was to be changed from that day. The opening line of the song was something that had been on my mind from early that morning when I was visiting  my friend Bill Bagby, at his and his wife Belinda's beautiful ranch whilst watching the morning unfold as the sun was coming over the top of the mountains here in Hot Springs Arkansas, and I said to Bill, "I love the green on the mountain tops in the morning." That line stayed with me all day until Rodney's wonderful talent with his guitar in his hands, brought together my favorite  composition of words to ever come from my thick headed mind. Rodney and I have written so many songs together in this "one take write" so many times. Rodney's inspiration in my life as a County Artist and song writer has been nothing short   of "Pure BLESSINGS FROM GOD."

"Watch Over You" was a song that started with one of my closest friends, James Clyde Adams "JC".  Clyde had come up with this song idea that he asked me if I wanted to help him finish. James Clyde and myself have written a lot of songs together, and I guess we'll just keep on doing this as long as God will bless us too. James Clyde came up with this song idea that was so overwhelming to me when he showed it to me, because he was with his mama when she passed away just 3 days after his dad had past away and that's a hard one to write about and find the write words that can be put into such a short time, in a song. All blessing from God!!!

"Lord It's You". I wrote this song in 2007 in Orange Beach, Alabama whilst spending the week there attending the Frank Brown International Song Writers Festival. I was sitting on the 10th floor balcony of my room looking out over the the quite beach front at the beautiful November blue ocean. I was pitching peanuts out to the seagulls and looking up at the bright blue sky, and the rest is pure history. All blessings from God!!!
