Good As I Can Be

Do you ever think back to the house you grew up in or the family who raised you? This song is about those moments—the warmth, the little routines, and the people who helped shape who we are. It’s a reflection on the love and lessons that still echo in our lives, long after we’ve moved on.

The Home That Raised Me

Good, Better, Best

Worn-out shoes, fading skies, full hearts – and you at the end of the road.
“Coming Home” is an emotional road song about late nights, second tries, and the pull of a place – or a person – that feels like home. With imagery of neon towns, falling stars, and blurry eyes on empty highways, it’s a track about finding clarity in return. For everyone who’s ever run far just to get closer.

Ausgetretene Schuhe, offener Himmel, volles Herz – und du am Ziel.
„Coming Home“ ist ein emotionaler Roadtrip-Song über späte Nächte, zweite Chancen und das tiefe Gefühl, unterwegs zu sein – und trotzdem zu wissen, wo man hingehört. Zwischen fallenden Sternen, flimmernden Straßen und leisen Erinnerungen erzählt der Song von der Kraft, heimzukehren. Für alle, die losfahren, um endlich anzukommen.

Coming Home

Secondhand Rose

Ain’t no spring rooster. Ain’t pretending either.
A raw slice of bluesy defiance from Dr. Foss – where every line carries dirt under its fingernails.
🎸 For anyone who ever kept walking when the world said stop.

Somewhere in Between

Verse 1  
The sun’s just risin’ over that old dirt road,  
Coffee in a thermos, truck in go.  
You left your boots by the front porch swing,  
Said you needed time to chase your dream.

Chorus  
I’m somewhere in between holdin’ on and lettin’ go,  
Between the “please don’t leave” and the “I know.”  
Love’s still burnin’, but the flame’s gone lean,  
Guess we’re livin’ somewhere in between.

Verse 2  
Your perfume lingers in this cab tonight,  
That memory hits hard in the dashboard light.  
Half of me’s waitin’, half of me’s free,  
But none of me knows where I’m supposed to be.

Verse 3  
The house feels bigger since you walked away,  
Rooms filled with silence, not much left to say.  
Photographs on the mantle, a bittersweet scene,  
I brush off the dust, but not what we mean.

Chorus  
I’m somewhere in between holdin’ on and lettin’ go,  
Between the “please don’t leave” and the “I know.”  
Love’s still burnin’, but the flame’s gone lean,  
Guess we’re livin’ somewhere in between.

Bridge  
Maybe time will draw a line that’s clean,  
But right now I’m stuck in this in-between.

Chorus  
I’m somewhere in between holdin’ on and lettin’ go,  
Between the “please don’t leave” and the “I know.”  
Love’s still burnin’, but the flame’s gone lean,  
Guess we’re livin’ somewhere in between.
