I remember all the good times that we, long ago, have had,
I remember all the laughter, I remember all the sad,
I remember when you hugged me, and when you pushed me away
I remember when you left me, on that fateful, lonely day ...

And as we further from each other do but slowly drift away,
I cannot but try one last thing; to beg God to let you stay,
To beg Him, the One Alone who could perhaps make your thoughts sway
Towards me, and wonder how, without you, is my life, my time, my day ...

It's up to God, if He will, to make a move
It's up to God, if He will, to let us choose;
It's up to God, if He will, to bring you near;
It's up to God; I have to stop right here.

We're both walking separate paths, with our hearts beating, apart,
We're both taking different walks, away from pain and all that hurt,
We're both so very proud, we'll never admit we did things wrong ...
Will you ever think of me, and of our love, ago so long?

It's your mind, your soul, your choice ... it's our lives that waste away
With each, every passing minute, every second, every day,
To just talk to you I'd wish, to see if you still want me,
And then quietly I'd slink off, and let all this emotion be ...

It's up to God, if He will, to make a move
It's up to God, if He will, to let us choose;
It's up to God, if He will, to bring you near;
It's up to God; I have to stop right here.

Up To God (2025 remix)

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.”
