God only knows how he survived
But I had Jack’s back on the day I died
Our home town gave him a hero’s welcome
But my friend Jack brought the hell home with him

I watched guilt tear that good man apart
He carried that weight like his own private war
I didn’t save his life for him to lose it again
But Jack couldn’t stand that I died savin’ him

Chorus 1 
And thats why he wore his cap down low 
So no one would know the pain in his eyes
And thats why he never talked too long
Showin‘ what’s wrong hidden deep inside
But his pain still showed even though
He wore his cap down low

He struggled with his chores on the farm
Spent more time plowin’ through beers at the bar
His wife saw the damage the war had done
PTSD doesn’t bleed but it scars everyone

Repeat Chorus 1

Bridge
Time went on
And a teenage boy came lookin’ for a job
Jack turned him away
But then it all changed when he saw my son’s face

Chorus 2 
‘Cause my boy, he wore his cap down low 
So no one would know the pain in his eyes
And my boy never talked too long
Showin‘ what’s wrong hidden deep inside
But his pain still showed even though
He wore his cap down low

Tag
Jack Said,
Boy, if you’re gonna be my hired hand
Look me straight in the eyes, just like your old man

My Kind of Beach

Featuring Allen Krehbiel

Verse 1
The news on tv haunts me                         
Can’t shake it from my mind     

Me and politics don’t mix
All I do is ask why?

 
Pre Chorus
Lets escape to a sunny place
Where you make peace in the shade
of little umbrella drinks


Chorus
Thats my kind of beach
My kind of sand
Don‘t pass judgement, pass me a beer, man
No hate, no worries, no time for bein’ mean

Thats my kind of beach
My kind of fun
Hot music and sun for everyone
Just like the way it used to be
Thats my kind of beach

Verse 2
Every week a tragedy                       
It’s too much for this country boy

We’ll have a shindig and you’re invited
To share a lawn chair on that sunny shore

 
Pre Chorus
We ain’t lost the American dream
Turn it on with a Florida key
Makin‘ tan lines, not lines in the sand


Repeat Chorus


Bridge
Take a hit of those guitar licks
Let your stress float away
Steel drums gonna come 
Make you dance in the waves


Repeat Chorus (endline x2)

MY KIND OF BEACH

I used my new modular synthesizer in conjunction with Logic Pro X software.  

Lyrically this is a song about choices, consequences.

Inspired by this passage
"Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."  Jeremiah 6:16

This Is The Life I Choose

Joyful Hallelujah

After a season of writing lots of high energy pop music I was longing to write a simple and pretty praise song.
