Vs 1
Four years ago, on the streets of Nashville 
 Saw a Homeless Musician on Music Row
wanted to help, he said all I am asking
Lord please buy me a bus ticket home

Vs 2
He said I’ve played this guitar since i’s eleven
Guess maybe I thought I’d make my mark
These days my mind’s 
more upon Heaven
From this here sidewalk 
that seems mighty far 

Chorus
Lord, please buy me a bus ticket home
 these brogan shoes run outta rough road to roam
not blaming nobody for the  hard path I been on
Lord, please buy me a bus ticket home

Instrumental 

Vs 3
sat there beside him best part of 3 hours
Talkin’ ‘bout road maps and girls he once knew
slipped my last five  into his guitar case 
Knowin’ that bus 
be  A rye vin  soon 

Chorus
Lord, please buy me a bus ticket home
 these brogan shoes run outta rough road to roam
not blaming nobody for the  hard path I been on
Lord, please buy me a bus ticket home

Instrumental 

Chorus
Lord, please buy me a bus ticket home
 these brogan shoes run outta rough road to roam
not blaming nobody for the  hard path I been on
Lord, please buy me a bus ticket home

Bus Ticket Home

While You're Gone EP

While You're Gone

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.”
