It don't matter what it is
I can make it go away
Jane was here on Tuesday
But she is not here today

Sometimes it's what you've done
You may have done your man
But what you do right now
May well land you in the can

I could be a dream come true
I will make her go away
It is the kind of thing I do
And I can do it in a day

[chorus]
Just call my other number
The one you got from that old friend
Leave a little message
I will make your problems end

[chorus]
Just call my other number
The one you got from that old friend
Leave a little message
I will make your problems end

It don't matter what it is
I can make it go away
Joe was here on Tuesday
But he is not here today

Sometimes it's what you've done
You may have done your wife
But what you do right now
May well cost you your life

I could be a dream come true
I will make her go away
It is the kind of thing I do
And I can do it in a day

[chorus]
Just call my other number
The one you got from that old friend
Leave a little message
I will make your problems end

[chorus]
Just call my other number
The one you got from that old friend
Leave a little message
I will make your problems end

[instrumental]

It never was my plan
But I'm the garbage man
I make your messes disappear
I will take them in my can

[outro]
It never was my plan
But I'm the garbage man
I make your messes disappear
I will take them in my can

I will take them in my can
I am the garbage man

Garbage Plus (smoky Blues)

Still Here, Still Trying is a record about what it really feels like to carry the weight.
Leadership, fatherhood, marriage — showing up, holding it together, keeping your people safe.
The responsibility to stay strong, even when you feel anything but.

This album is about that quiet fight.
The pressure of being the one who’s supposed to keep moving forward, even on the days when the ground feels shaky beneath you.
It’s about doubt. About failing forward. About learning that strength doesn’t always look like confidence — sometimes it looks like exhaustion and still choosing to stay.

These songs live in the space between love and pressure. Between exhaustion and hope. Between being who you want to be and fearing you’ll never quite measure up.
They speak to the weight of holding a family together while trying to hold yourself together too.
But more than anything, they’re about staying.
Choosing home. Choosing love.
Choosing to keep trying.

The bonus track at the end — “I See You (Even When You Don’t)” — is from her side of the story.
It’s a reminder that the people who love us see through the armor, through the weight, through the bullshit.
They know how hard we’re trying.
They love us for it anyway.

Still here. Still fighting. Still trying.
