The Whistlin' Donkeys - Dirty Old Town - LIVE at Mandela Hall

Day of my return trail west

Starting Out

The Island-Patrick Feeney

Past The Point Of Rescue

A cover version of Mumford & Sons - I will wait

Rhythm & Sticks - I will wait

“The Reason is You” rides in with heartfelt grit, a baritone voice telling the truth about living life with purpose.
Every verse shows a man who won’t be fooled or dragged down, standing firm against empty choices.
The song paints vivid pictures of fences, mountains, and moments when love is the only reason to take risks.
A steady rhythm drives the verses, calm and thoughtful, before bursting into full-band power in the chorus.
Fiddle, steel, and guitars rise as the story shifts from restraint to devotion, building energy and emotion.
The chorus explodes with harmony and passion, a declaration of doing anything when the reason is love.
Lyrics balance toughness with tenderness, revealing a man who stays grounded until love calls him higher.
Each verse deepens the conviction, making the listener feel the weight of choices and the pull of devotion.
By the bridge, the voice softens into confession, before soaring into the final chorus with raw conviction.
“The Reason is You” closes on echoes of love and promise, a timeless country story wrapped in fire and heart.

Lyrics
The Reason is You

Not been someone to do what others do
Could not see a reason to be a fool
Just because someone wants to act the clown
Never seen a reason to be dragged on down (no not me)

Been invited so many times, to do something cool
Something that was only cool, if you had no clue
There is nothing I would not do, if there was a need
Not doing anything that requires you to bleed (no not me)

Now, there is the other side of the fence
When you’re doing something for someone you love, hence
I have been known to jump a few fences, climb a few mountains
I will do it all, as long as what I am doing, the reason is you (yeah you, you know it)
Yeah you know it, I would do anything, if the reason is you (oooh yeah)

Anyone else, in my life, not going to do anything that makes no sense
Don’t care what you say, don’t care what the circumstance
Unless it is absolutely necessary, no chance of me doing anything stupid
Unless it is for you, I’d dress up as cupid as long as the reason is you (for sure)

Now, there is the other side of the fence
When you’re doing something for someone you love, hence
I have been known to jump a few fences, climb a few mountains
I will do it all, as long as what I am doing, the reason is you (yeah you, you know it)
Yeah you know it, I would do anything, if the reason is you (oooh yeah)

So yes, when it comes to you I have done some stupid things
Because, I would do anything, to make sure you stay my find
Not going to blow the chance, to be with you the rest of my life
So yes, if it is for you, if the reason is you, ooooh I’d do anything

Sounds like me, sounds like something I’d do
As long as the reason is you (yeah you)

You’re the reason (ah hah) then that’s fine (ah hah) (ah hah) (ah Hah) (ah hah) (ah hah) (ah Hah) (ah Hah)
