Somewhere South With Rum

[Verse 1]

I’ve been runnin’ from the memories
Like a sinner from the light.
But every road I take
Turns your shadow into night.
I pour a little bourbon
Just to feel a thing again—
Some scars don’t ever close,
They just learn to live within.

[Chorus]

If love was easy,
I’d lay my head down, get some sleep.
If lettin’ go meant freedom,
I’d be somewhere runnin’ deep.
But I’m stuck here with the pieces
Of a dream we never had—
You took the best of me,
Left me half of what I had.

[Verse 2]

There’s a picture in my wallet
That I swore I’d throw away,
But every time I touch it
I remember how I prayed
For a life we never made it to,
For a man I couldn’t stay—
Now I’m fightin’ with the silence
’Cause it knows me by my name.

[Chorus]

If love was easy,
I’d lay my head down, get some sleep.
If lettin’ go meant freedom,
I’d be somewhere runnin’ deep.
But I’m stuck here with the pieces
Of a dream we never had—
You took the best of me,
Left me half of what I had.

[Outro — Short, Soulful]

Yeah, I’m learnin’ how to stand again
With half of what I had.
Half of what I had.

Half Of What I Had

Moving Forward Without You

Based on his own personal experience, Kirk Diamond's Song lends great advice on how to be "A Better Man".

A Better Man

A trusted troubadour for hot summer nights and cold beers, Owen is now in his forties, tangling with separations from lost lovers, raising kids, and growing out of the fresh-faced kid that headed down to Nashville 20 years back with a six-string and a dream.  Case in point: Dreams to Dream, Owen’s long-awaited, Shooter Jennings-co-produced foray into classic, honky-tonk country, out November 7 via Good Company Entertainment. Dreams to Dream, Owen’s first independent studio album, featuring 10 original tracks and two stellar covers, tells the tale of a man at a crossroads — and what it takes to set out a new path. 

Owen wasn’t expecting much when he commented on one of Shooter Jennings’ Instagram posts, half-jokingly suggesting that they make a honky-tonk record, but the producer called his bluff. Two days later, Owen’s manager had Jennings on the line and, soon, Owen was on his way to L.A. and Jennings’ Sunset Sound. It was a cozy yet electric scene: Jennings and Owen cracking jokes in the sepia-toned studio, creativity crackling as they collaborated with the likes of songwriters Ben Chapman and Kendell Marvel, as well as long-time shooter pal, guitarist/harmonic player Leroy Powell. 

“All my friends who have heard my stuff have gone, ‘Dude, Jake, this is you man. This is who you've always tried to be,’” Owen says. “Sometimes you need to get outside what's comfortable, what people think you are, or think you should be, and take a risk.”
