Woke up this mooorninnnn’, sun refused to shine,
Yeah, my baby gone, and the fault was mine.
Coffee’s cold, guitar’s outta tune,
Lonely rhythm playin’ in a dusty room.

I got rust on my sooooouuuul, cracks in my shoes,
Carryin’ the weigghhht of them midnight blues.
Love done left me, time don’t choose,
I keep singin’, singin’ these highway blues.

The radio’s hummin’ some old 45,
Every note remind me, she kept me alive.
Ashtray’s full, but my heart still burns,
Ain’t no road back, just lessons learned.

I got rust on my sooooouuuul, cracks in my shoes,
Carryin’ the weigghhht of them midnight blues.
Love done left me, time don’t choose,
I keep singin’, singin’ these highway blues.

Lord, the years roll heavy,
Like a freight train down the line.
Dreams turn to ashes,
But the blues still keep me alive.

My hands are blistered, strings cut deep,
Every note’s a secret I couldn’t keep.
If tomorrow don’t find me, at least I know,
The blues took my pain, but they saved my soul.

"But Lord… these blues, they been heavy on me."

"Mmm… set him free…"

"Rust on my soul, cracks in my shoes,
Still I walk with faith, and I pay my dues."

"Oh, carry him through… hallelujah!"

"Took my sorrow, turned it into song…
Now I know, Lord, I’m where I belong."

"Where he belong! / Hallelujah strong!"

"Rust on my soul… but the Spirit keeps me true."

I got rust on my sooooouuuul, cracks in my shoes,
Carryin’ the weigghhht of them midnight blues.
Love done left me, time don’t choose,
I keep singin’, singin’ these highway blues.

Rust on My Soul

When the lights fade and the streets go quiet, the sax cries where words can’t. “No Light Tonight” is a smoky soul-blues confession — stripped to piano, sax, and drums, with a voice that carries both grit and tenderness. It’s haunting, heavy, and timeless, written for those late nights when love drifts away like haze in the dark.

No Light Tonight

A wounded prayer rising from the ashes of betrayal, forgiveness carved in soul and fire.

Prayin' For You

The sound of renewal, a new chapter rising with power and grace. 

A cinematic, acoustic memoir of Southern twilight. Across 11 tracks, it weaves porchlight intimacy with gospel grit, blending Chicago blues, Motown warmth, and folk storytelling into a cohesive emotional arc.

Cotton Road Lullaby

Heard in the House

Stranger in Your Eyes

A smile on loan. Flirty, ironic, late-night diner vibes. Lipstick-stained receipt, gospel backing, bittersweet charm.

Rivers Pull (new version)

Verso 1 / Verse 1)
Quiero decirte cuánto tú me das,
Since you came, I don’t feel sad.
Pienso en tus ojos, siento tu luz,
You’re the fire inside my blues.
(Estribillo / Chorus)
Caíste del cielo a mis brazos, amor,
You fell from heaven, my heart was reborn.
Te amo, te siento, estás tan cerca,
Corazón y soul – my vida entera.
(Verso 2 / Verse 2)
Tu voz suena a blues, suave y real,
Your touch is tender, sweet and wild.
Cuando me abrazas, el tiempo se va,
The night stands still when you’re by my side.
(Estribillo / Chorus)
Caíste del cielo a mis brazos, amor,
You fell from heaven, my heart was reborn.
Te amo, te siento, estás tan cerca,
Corazón y soul – my vida entera.
(Puente / Bridge)
Si cae la lluvia en la oscuridad,
Stay with me till the morning light.
Juro mi vida, mi fe, mi ser,
You are my home, my every prayer.
(Final / Outro)
Corazón y soul – tú y yo,
One heart, one song, one endless glow.
Te amo, te siento, estás tan cerca,
Forever my love – my alma entera.
