[Intro]
WHAT I’VE LEFT BEHIND 
AIN'T WHAT I HAVE AHEAD OF ME

[Verse 1]
There’s a box in the closet 
Full of old regrets
Photos and letters 
And things I’d rather forget
Dust on the past
And a lock on that door
Ain’t goin’ back there 
No more

[Verse 2]
I’ve walked through the fire
I’ve danced in the rain
Made my share of mistakes
I've lived with the pain
But every mile
Every scar on my skin
Taught me how 
To begin again

[Chorus]
‘Cause what I’ve left behind
Ain’t what I have ahead of me
That old worn-out life
Ain’t the one I’m meant to lead
There’s a sunrise waitin’ 
Past the end of this road
A new song playin’ on the radio
Yeah, what I’ve left behind
Ain’t what I have ahead of me

[Verse 3]
She said love don’t come easy 
When your heart’s been broke
But I see forever 
When she laughs at my jokes
She’s a soft place to land
A light in the dark
Helping me heal every part

[Bridge]
I could spend my time chasin’ ghosts in the wind
But I’d rather chase dreams and hold her hand again
Ain’t no rearview mirror gonna pull me back
I’m drivin’ on faith
I ain’t lookin’ back

[Chorus]
‘Cause what I’ve left behind
Ain’t what I have ahead of me
All those nights I cried
Just made this moment sweet
There’s a heaven in her eyes when she looks at me
And a future I can finally see
Yeah, what I’ve left behind
Ain’t what I have ahead of me

[Outro]
No, what I’ve left behind
Ain’t what I have ahead of me...

Porch Memories

A feel-good, genre-blending journey through the sounds of Southern rock, country, and folk. It's an eclectic mix that feels like a live jam session, with intricate guitar work, layered harmonies, and a laid-back, summery vibe. The songs are rich with storytelling, painting vivid pictures of life, love, and the open road. From upbeat, celebratory anthems perfect for a bonfire, to heartfelt, reflective ballads that tug at the heartstrings, the album maintains a consistent mood of laid-back authenticity. It's music that's both polished and raw, a perfect soundtrack for a long drive, a day at the beach, or just kicking back with friends.

It'll all be OK
