All right.  A song that actually has something to say.  I enjoyed it.  Brought back memories.

Strip Club Lights


[intro]
I never felt wrong, but she's so right... with every move she makes, makes me realize... that I was making mistakes on the path that I'd take... I was not wrong... but she is sooo right...

[Verse1] 
 A simple chance meeting at a friend's birthday, there was no way of knowing where we'd stand today... I know the dogs are happy that we came to meet... 1 Boxer of hers and a Chihuahua from me...

[Verse2]
They run and they jump... or just sniff and play... while we hike the trails, under blue skys today...
Sometimes there's zoomies, so we both hit the ground so we don't lose a knee, or get taken down...

[Chorus2]
I never felt wrong, she makes me feel so right... with every move she makes, makes me realize... that I was making mistakes on the path that I'd take... I was not wrong... but she is soooo... oh, oh, ohooo, right...

[Verse3]
Her smile lights me up, like a beacon of light, sent to a ship at sea, in a fog bank at night... a simple glance, the touch of her finger tips... a chance meeting lead to all of this...


I would never change not one thing about us... the way we met, the glances, the touch... 
everything about her... to meeee... it means so much...

[Chorus3]
I never felt wrong, but she's so right... with every move she makes, makes me realize... that I was making mistakes on the path that I'd take... I was not wrong... but she is sooo right...


She is sooooo right... Oooo... Ooo.. Yaaa...

Holding Down the Honky Tonk

This one wasn’t written for applause.
It wasn’t made to impress, or to go viral, or to fix the pain.
It’s what comes after all that.

This One’s for Me is the sound of a man clearing his head, not burning bridges.
It’s not a cry for help. It’s not a callout.
It’s the deep breath you take when you’ve carried the weight too long
and finally say:
“Fuck it. I’m still here.”

You’ve heard the heartbreak.
You’ve heard the silence.
You’ve felt the fear of being unseen.

This track?
It’s the moment you stop chasing everyone’s approval
and start singing for the only person who needed it:
you.

No claps.
No filters.
No fuckin’ shame.

This is the most honest moment on the whole EP —
and it’s the one where the artist finally steps out of the algorithm
and back into his own skin.


This One’s for Me

DIE WITH MY BOOTS ON (Acoustic Version)

"Let's Be Honest" - a raw, unfiltered take on accepting when a relationship has run its course. This outlaw country soul track strips away the pretense and faces the painful truth of a love that's faded beyond repair. With haunting imagery of cracked walls and cold coffee, the song walks listeners through the difficult journey from denial to acceptance. Not every story ends with reconciliation - sometimes the most honest thing is walking away with dignity intact. For fans of authentic country storytelling that isn't afraid to confront life's harder truths. Written and performed by Stephen Ryder.
