When he died
My Dad he left me
His guitars and his guns
And I
I couldn’t believe
That this day had really come
And the memories some long forgotten
Came flooding back In photographs
And your friends shared your stories.
I hope you heard, I hope you laughed

Dad I —-

You won’t be here in the morning
So we will climb toward your light

He was a mountain
He was a mountain
He’s my Dad

The last time that I saw him
I held his hand and said goodbye But on the day we spread his ashes
I swear I felt him by my side
I hope that he heard me
I hope he hears this song
And I hope heaven has guitars so that he can play along

Dad I —-

You won’t be here in the morning
So we will climb toward your light

Bridge
I can see when I close my eyes
We’re all learning how to live a life
Without you

Every waking moment you’re on my mind
It’s so hard to sleep at night without you

Yeah, we climb toward your light but
Texas stars don’t shine as bright
Without you


He was a mountain
He was a mountain
He was my Dad

He was a mountain
He was a mountain
He was my Dad

MOUNTAIN (1946 - 2021)

Hope Street 
Written in 2019, this came out of me immediately after my cousin committed suicide.  For decades it seems like wave after wave of celebrities taking their lives and then when it hits home, something else sinks in.  

Depression is a beast!  I have suffered a mild version of the monster my entire life, and when it takes hold, it can consume you.  My cousin and I weren't close but I loved him just the same.  

His loss, at such a beautiful young age, is something that continues to haunt me.  The impact on our family and the fear are planted as I look into the eyes of my children and pray that they don't suffer the same as so many others.

Verse 1
When I wake up in this black cloud, when it holds me down
Will I give up on my own head when I can’t get out

Chorus
When I’m walking down Hope Street, will you be there
Will you walk with me down Hope Street, will you be there
I don’t care anymore, I don’t care anymore, I don’t anymore, I don’t care anymore

Bridge
Anthony Bourdain, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Robin Williams, Kurt Cobain, Naomi Judd, Junior Seau, Jimmy Jastrowski, Elliott Smith, Ian Curtis, Michael Hutchence.  An average of 22 Veterans per day take their lives.  Nearly 800000 people die by suicide every year, roughly one death every 40 seconds.  

Verse 2
When I can’t see another way, but to end this pain
When they all say that it’s okay, not to be okay.

Chorus
When I’m walking down Hope Street, will you be there
Will you walk with me down Hope Street, will you be there
I don’t care anymore, I don’t care anymore, I don’t anymore, I don’t care anymore

Hope Street

Born Summer
Dedicated to my children.  The verses are written in order of their births:  Caitlyn, Renin, Cainin, all born in Summer, and only 2 weeks apart from each other between 6/25-7/10  (1998/2015/2019).  

Verse 1
You were born in July
Didn’t breathe, you didn’t cry
Then like a firework, you arrived
I held you, so tight 
On the day that you came into my life

Verse 2
We ran to the day
That wait, to know your name
How you’ve grown, six years old and shining like the sun
You’ve brought a beauty unparalleled into my life

Chorus
Oh, let your sunshine down on me
You were Born Summer
You were Born Summer to me

Verse 3
He begins, sweet summers skies and his star shines so bright
Here you are, as was I, so much more, I realize
Oh, the joy, that you’ve brought into my life

Born Summer

Happy Mother’s Day 

Happy Mother’s Day, Happy Mother’s Day, to you, Mom 
Happy Mother’s Day, Happy Mother’s Day, to you, Mom 

You fill my life with wonder, nature, music, and joy. 
You’re amazing. 

You make every day a dream. 

 Happy Mother’s Day 
You’re a miracle. 
I’m so lucky that you’re mine, Mom 

Happy Mother’s Day 
You’re a rainbow. 
You’re the reason that I shine, Mom. 

You make me feel so special, through stories, play, and song 
It’s you, Mom, the reason I’m so strong. 
Happy Mother’s Day 
You’re my hero 
It’s because of you I can fly, Mom 
Happy Mother’s Day 
Happy Mother’s Day, to you, Mom 

When I wake up in the morning, you’re the first thing on my mind. 
All these memories will guide me through my life. 
Happy Mother’s Day, Happy Mother’s Day, to you, Mom 
Happy Mother’s Day, Happy Mother’s Day, to you, Mom

"1708" By Long Haul Drive

In the year of 1708
The sun was out on the clearest day
The Spanish fleet fought with all it’s might
Was a ship called the San Jose

The gold and silver were there in sight
The true treasure were the stories told
Now they lie at the bottom floor
They sit still while the pages turn again

All was lost in the deep blue sea
And now it rests, in eternal sleep

They were no match for the British forces	
Nowhere was safe within the seven seas
The enemy had failed their duties
When all the gold was lost beneath

The sunken souls still haunt the waters
And 20 billion reasons why
Some would say there are secrets hidden
Only to be seen in the dead of night

All was lost in the deep blue sea
And now it rests, in eternal sleep

As cannons roar, and swords they clash
600 souls without a name
No way that they would see tomorrow
In the year of 1708

All was lost in the deep blue sea
And now it rests, in eternal sleep

As cannons roar, and swords they clash
600 souls without a name
No way that they would see tomorrow
In the year of 1708

1708

"In Their Hands " By Long Haul Drive

Well the sun had set,  Potomac Hill
When George had made that dollar bill
Mount Vernon bound, and out of sight
But he sure could make that whiskey right

Well, they carried weight
On this big free loving land
All them speeches made were in their prime
When the world was in their hands

In Virginia, where flowers bloom
Jefferson left all the rules
For gardens within the fields
The university he fought to build

Quincy on election day
He watched his hopes fade away
While he licked his wounds, didn’t want the rest
The house reps is where he went

Well, they carried weight
On this big free loving land
All them speeches made were in their prime
When the world was in their hands

Some retire and go into the sunset 
Some will try then fail to let it go

In a twist of fate
They would try to walk the line
The dedication to the legacy
Would forever hold in time

Roosevelt in 1912
He put that job up on the shelf
Took a trip on down to the jungle south
Almost lost his life on foreign ground 

Well, they carried weight
On this big free loving land
All them speeches made were in their prime
When the world was in their hands

In a twist of fate
They would try to walk the line
The dedication to the legacy
Would forever hold in time
Would forever hold in time

In Their Hands

"don´t cry me a river
as I don´t intend to drown
don´t cry me a river"

out of time
out of lines 
out of coke and alibies
self inflicted delay
and a vivid paranoia

out of fuel 
out of time ?
out of fuel
out of time !

don´t cry me a river
as I don´t intend to drown
don´t cry me a river

you´re out of time out of lines
out of coke and alibies
self inflicted delay
and a vivid paranoia

don´t cry me a river
as I don´t intend to drown
don´t cry me a river

out of fuel 
out of time ?
out of fuel
