Broken Roads

Backpacker Ben

A bold, heartfelt debut with Far But Feels Like Home, a country-rooted collection of stories for the modern heart. Blending down-to-earth storytelling with the emotional honesty of queer identity, this album explores long-distance yearning, late-night dreams, and the type of love that’s as playful as it is powerful. 
Whether it’s the longing ache of “Too Far to Hold,” the flirty sass of “Somewhere Out There (In Cowboy Boots),” or the intimate realism of the title track, every song is laced with warmth, wit, and a fearless vulnerability. Far But Feels Like Home isn’t just a love letter to romance, it’s a journey through distance, desire, and the kind of connection that lingers long after the last chorus fades.

Too Far to Hold, Too Right to Forget

Hotter Than This

A Talk With Myself
Mark Lambert/David Trull

Verse I
Today, I saw a grandma
Stepping off a city bus
Wiping down her grandbabies
From sweat and Texas dust

She gathered them up to cross the street
While pulling a small cart of groceries

I could tell she was doing all she could for them
And I thought, without good luck, there I am

Chorus
Sometimes I can get down
Hate the hand that I’ve been dealt
Like it’s me against the world
Been put up on the shelf

Then I realized how life
Can be for some
And having it all come together
Is easier said than done

Then something in my heart
Started to melt
That’s when I had a talk with myself

Verse II
Last year a flood roared through
The heart of our little town
Spent days digging in the mud
Seeing what could be found

Strangers came out to lend a hand
Some with nothing left on their land
Others lost the most precious thing of all
Made me realize my problems are small

Chorus x 2

Talk With Myself (4)

 The song is a tribute to blue-collar workers, specifically those who work on the sea. It highlights their dedication, skill, and deep connection to their environment. It contrasts their fulfilling, physically demanding work with the "fancy things" of an office job, expressing a sense of pride in their chosen way of life.

The birth of 
My explanation. 
This liberation 
Of the commandments. 
Now, my creator 
Is created. 
The past and future 
What is forsaken. 
A superstitious belief 
Fictitious 
And malicious 
To capricious. 
My God is not 
Suspicious. 

Born in the moment 
Observing my own 
Atonement. 
Here it comes 
Salvation from 
the calculation 
of information. 
An education 
past a  
superstitious  
situation. 
Becoming  
An application.

[Bridge] 
An occupation 
Of my imagination. 
The isolation 
Of civilization’s 
reputation 
Doing inflation. 
Liberation’s 
motivation. 
A simulation 
Of obligation 
Revelation 
Restoration 
Rehabilitation  
Of inspiration. 
Collaboration 
Of appreciation. 
A destination  
With no medication. 

This instant with 
Gratitude. 
Salvation 
Becoming the  
birth of my God’s creation. 
The actualization 
Of my meditation 
From an application. 
Peace must flow 
Across the obstacle 
Giving way to  
Light particles. 
The reflection  
To me 
Becomes the gracious  
Gratitude 
Freeing me 
Of what I see. 
A state of knowledge 
To foresee.

Some promises Run Deeper Than Pride
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
©COPYRIGHT 12–2-2025 All Rights Reserved © 

[Intro: Acoustic guitar arpeggio with distant fiddle]

[Verse 1]
Dust on the porch swing, hinges groan like old regrets
Mail piled up since April, screen door’s missing half its net
I hadn’t planned to come back, not after all we said
But the truck ran out of reasons just past mile marker ten

[Verse 2]
His coffee cup still waiting, cold beside the morning chair
Farming almanac open to a page he couldn’t spare
No note, no angry message—just that quiet kind of ache
The kind you carry longer than the words you couldn’t take

[Pre-Chorus]
I almost turned the key again, let silence have its say
But then I saw them by the mat—those boots he wore each day

[Chorus]
Some promises run deeper than pride
Buried in calloused hands and rusted plow lines
You don’t speak ‘em loud, you just live ‘em true
Through drought and doubt and things you can’t undo
Yeah, some promises run deeper than pride

[Inst: Fiddle solo over gentle acoustic strumming]

[Verse 3]
Found his ledger in the barn, entries neat and thin
Every dollar stretched like fence wire pulled taut against the wind
He never asked for pity, never begged me not to go
Just kept the lights on steady, in case I changed my mind to know

[Pre-Chorus]
That home ain’t just a roof beam or a name upon a sign
It’s showing up when leaving would’ve been the easier line

[Chorus]
Some promises run deeper than pride
Woven in the hush between “I’m sorry” and “I tried”
You don’t carve ‘em in stone, you plant ‘em in the ground
And wait through frozen seasons just to hear one honest sound
Yeah, some promises run deeper than pride

[Bridge]
He’s asleep in the kitchen now, head bowed over tea
I wash the cups without a word—he don’t look up at me
But his hand brushes mine reaching for the sugar spoon
And that’s the only welcome I needed under this old moon

[Chorus]
Some promises run deeper than pride
Not broken by the years or the tears we both denied
You don’t shout ‘em out, you stitch ‘em slow and tight
In every mended fence post burning soft in evening light
Yeah, some promises run deeper than pride

[Outro: Fiddle fades with single acoustic guitar notes]
(whispered)
Deeper than pride…

Richard Waylon Chiltonson, better known by his stage name, “Ricky Chilton”, was born in the back of a ‘91 Bronco on a hot Georgia evening in August. After serving in the Iraq war at just 5 years old, doing two tours in Al-Qa’im, he went on to begin his music career in Nashville. After a brief stint in prison, Chilton found himself opening for the late great Toby Keith a record breaking 314 times, after which he decided to take a hiatus to his 4000 acre ranch in Miami, Texas. There he discovered he was homesteading on a field of approximately 340 million barrels of crude oil. He became one of the wealthiest independent children in America, at just 11 years old having a net worth of $278 Million. Neither fame nor money would change him, because according to Chilton “I ain’t no fancy boy”.

Now 13 years later, after having lost 99% of his entire net worth playing slots, he is resuming his music career. He is currently recording his debut album.
