Lyrics: 
Lipstick stains on a Starbucks cup
Strong black coffee in a thermos jug
Take two soft hands and two that are rough
And it all adds up to us

A BMW and a GMC
One says her and the other screams me
One for the road and one for the mud 
And it all adds up to us

From the outside looking in
The numbers don’t work no it don’t make sense
They can’t figure out how we love this much
But it all adds up
It all adds up to us 

Runway model meets ffa
Uptown style and the cowboy way
Take her sweet voice sangin and the way i cuss
And it all adds up to us

From the outside looking in
The numbers don’t work no it don’t make sense
They can’t figure out how we love this much
But it all adds up
It all adds up to us 

My old blue jeans are laying on the porch
Her little black dress is on the kitchen floor
Take a whole lotta love plus a little bit of lust
And it all adds up it all adds up baby

From the outside looking in
The numbers don’t work no it don’t make sense
They can’t figure out how we love this much
But it all adds up

It all adds up to us 
To us

All adds up to us

It All Adds Up To Us

Concept record written with my friend Col. Jimmy Blackmon US ARMY Ret. about his time overseas.

Cold Dead Hands

"Through What We Go Through" is a heartfelt and inspiring song that explores the journey of resilience, growth, and self-discovery. With vivid imagery and soulful lyrics, it reflects on life's struggles and the inner strength we find through challenges. Set against the backdrop of personal memories and the majestic landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, this song reminds us that even in the darkest moments, brighter days await. Let the soaring melody and poignant words take you on a reflective and uplifting journey.

[Verse]
Woke up this morning with a heavy heart
Life's got a way to tear us apart
But through the pain and storms we ride
We find the strength we hold inside

[Verse 2]
Took a walk down memory lane
Counted blessings right through the pain
Every stumble made me see clear
We grow stronger year by year

[Chorus]
Through what we go through we find our way
Every night leads to a brighter day
With every tear our roots grow deep
Promises to keep while we sleep

[Verse 3]
Smokestacks blow a whistle loud
Trying hard to stand out in the crowd
Lessons learned on the winding road
Carry heavy but we share the load

[Bridge]
Heartaches crack but they let in light
Moments of dark that fuel our fight
Scars we wear with a sense of pride
Proof that we lived and we tried

[Chorus]
Through what we go through we find our way
Every night leads to a brighter day
With every tear our roots grow deep
Promises to keep while we sleep

Through What We Go Through

Who begs the question...do you believe what 'they' say? What is true? Who controls you?even sheep can turn on the dog

Who Do You Believe

This is the opening track of My Goggles, an album of songs built from the truths that have shaped my life. This one’s about perspective—how each of us sees the world through the lens of our own life experience. I call those lenses “goggles.”

I used to think there was one truth, one right way to see things. But life taught me different. When I can look past someone else’s goggles, I almost always end up seeing a little bit of myself in them. That shift—from judgment to understanding—changed everything for me. This song is my way of passing that truth along.

"Just remember… your goggles color what you see."
