Chasing the Night

“We Can Do It Let’s Restart” tells the story of a man who knows he messed up but refuses to give up on love, a Bro Country anthem of second chances and redemption. The lyrics hit hard with honesty, admitting past mistakes but holding tight to the promise that change is possible. Every line blends raw regret with stubborn determination, turning heartbreak into a vow to fight for what matters most. Guitars ring with southern grit while the vocals carry a mix of tenderness and grit, balancing vulnerability with strength. The chorus echoes like a rally cry, “We can do it let’s restart,” pushing through the pain with the hope of starting fresh. This song lives in the dust of back roads and the fire of neon lights, grounded in everyday struggles but lifted by the belief that love is worth saving. It’s a track made for open highways, long nights, and anyone who has ever asked for one more chance. Packed with country spirit, heartfelt conviction, and a spark of renewal, this song reminds us that true love doesn’t quit, it restarts.

Lyrics
We Can Do It let's Restart

Everytime your around I lose control
The mere presence of you takes its toll
Having you near makes it so hard
To forget what we had

I know I had my ways
But I know I can change
There is always a way
I just have to make the change

Your Love for me is all I want
I would give anything you want
You will always be in my heart
We can do it let's restart

I can see your not yourself
I know your feeling it too
Why would you want to be by yourself
Lets make our dream come true

Your Love for me is all I want
I would give anything you want
You will always be in my heart
We can do it let's restart

Life has it's ups and downs
We can find our way around
This is not a sentence
We can get things back in the present

You will always be in my heart
We can do it let's restart
Why would you want to be by yourself
Lets make our dream come true

My love for you is real
I love you and always will
Let's Restart  woooooh woooooh
Let's Restart

We Can Do It let's Restart

We Can Do It Let’s Restart – Second Chance Love

This is an original song that I recorded on acoustic guitar in March 2025. I just uploaded that original into an AI app and remixed it. The AI guitar player is hella better than me. It is interesting as an artist to hear the big brain of AI go to work on an original idea and remix it. I am both impressed and deflated.

Time Moves On – Lyrics by Rich Bonnin

Time Moves On is a gritty country-rock anthem about chasing youth, late nights at the bar, and the bittersweet truth that none of us can outrun Father Time. With vivid storytelling, it captures the highs of whiskey-fueled fun and the lows of waking up to aching bones, fading energy and the mirror’s honesty.

The song blends nostalgia, humor and raw reflection, wrapping it all in a driving rhythm that mirrors the unstoppable march of time. From neon bar lights to 5 a.m. last calls, it’s a portrait of nights gone wild and the wisdom that follows.

If you’ve ever wished you could turn back the clock—or laughed at yourself trying—you’ll feel this one deep.

🔥 For fans of: Chris Stapleton, Eric Church and classic roadhouse country rock.

Time Moves On

My Wild True Road

She’s got the fire of a storm, the grace of the sky,
No problem too heavy, she knows how to drive.
From the mud to the shine, through the highs and the lows,
She’s the reason my forever road goes.

Heidi, you’re my wild, you’re my home sweet ground,
In the roar of the crowd or when no one’s around.
Every mile we roll, every sky we see,
You’re the one true road that was made for me.

She’s the calm in the storm, the spark in the fight,
Turns the darkest road into morning light.
With her hand in mine, I can chase it all,
She’s the strength I lean on, the name I call.

Heidi, you’re my wild, you’re my home sweet ground,
In the roar of the crowd or when no one’s around.
Every mile we roll, every sky we see,
You’re the one true road that was made for me.

When the road gets rough and the lights go dim,
She’s the reason I rise, the fire within.
No matter the battle, no matter the fight,
With Heidi beside me, I’ll be alright.

Heidi, you’re my wild, you’re my home sweet ground,
In the roar of the crowd or when no one’s around.
Every mile we roll, every sky we see,
You’re the one true road that was made for me.

The one true road that was made for me.

My Wild True Road

Rapture is a new collaboration between the Beating Edge and Joe Stroffolino, following the awesome Asteroids (The Original Was Better). Joe wrote both the lyrics and the original music, while the Beating Edge rearranged and recorded it in a punchy rock style, adding driving guitars, strong rhythm, and dynamic choruses. Vocals feature Tom on lead, with Joe and Mary contributing both backing vocals and lead parts on certain verses and the bridge, creating a layered and energetic vocal texture.
The song explores the absurdity and irony of doomsday prophecies, the obsession with the rapture, and the endless cycle of believers and false prophets. It blends satirical storytelling with a critical eye on human behavior, delivering a mix of humor, intensity, and thought-provoking commentary through energetic rock arrangements. 
Rapture is a track that engages both the mind and the ears, combining narrative, power, and fun in equal measure.

Lyrics:

These prophets who say the world's gonna end and they set a specific date
And then when it doesn't happen, their followers still think they're great
The sun rises the next morning and people stumble out of bed
Disappointed that the rapture didn't happen and they're still alive instead of dead

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

They claim they have a direct line to God but there was a glitch in the connection
But now they're certain of the expiration date so they issue a correction
The shepherd guides the flock and tries to keep them safe from harm
But how many times can you cry wolf before people ignore your alarm

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Who cares about the environment if you think the world is gonna end
And you're convinced the second coming is right around the bend
So drill baby drill and chop down all the plants and trees
No need to spend money on curing terrible disease

In every generation throughout history, people were certain that the rapture would come
And they had followers willing to believe them as they fed them each a tiny crumb
In baseball you only get three strikes and then the umpire says you're out
But when it comes to doomsday prophecies, the true believers have no doubt

All these people going through the motions, trying to deal with the daily grind
Hoping the rapture comes soon and they're not the ones who are left behind

Rapture

While you wait for Mr. Right, can we walk a while?
Down that old trail where we both always smile
I know we’ve always been just friends
No need to circle back again
But while you wait for something better on your plate
I hope I can share a little friendly  ...not a date......
While you wait for Mr. Right, can I make you laugh?
Tell you stories from the crooked path
I’ve seen love fall and rise like dust
But you’re the one I always trust
So if he’s late, or lost in pride
I’ll be the maybe that stays by your side
While you wait for Mr. Right, I won’t pretend
But I’d be lying if I said I don’t depend
On the way you light up quiet rooms
On the way you sing old forgotten tunes
So if you’re just passing time tonight
Let me be your soft, quite- not Mr. right
While you wait for Mr. Right
I’ll be here, holding on tight
Not to steal, not to sway
Just to walk you through the day
While you wait for love to land
I’ll be your maybe, not your man
But maybe’s got a little fight
While you wait for Mr. Right
He’s got the looks, the car, the charm
But does he know your favorite song?
Does he ask how your mama’s been?
Or just talk about his wins?
I’m not perfect, I’m not bold
But I’d never leave your heart cold
While you wait for Mr. Right
I’ll be here, holding on tight
Not to steal, not to sway
Just to walk you through the day
While you wait for love to land
I’ll be your maybe, not your man
But maybe’s got a little fight
While you wait for Mr. Right
So if someday you look my way
And see more than a friend who stayed
I’ll be ready, boots and heart
To play the part I couldn’t start
While you waited for Mr. Right
I learned how to love you right
love you...(love you)....love you...(love you)...right

In the shadows of Apache Junction, at the foot of the majestic Superstition Mountains, sits a weathered hacienda. This desert oasis is home to an enigmatic figure, a songwriter whose journey reads like a long, dusty road of honky-tonk bars and college cafeterias. He wasn't chasing fame or glitter; instead, he chose the soul-crushing beauty of music for music's sake.

Years spent hunched over sticky barroom tables and scribbling lyrics on napkins earned him a reputation—not in the spotlight but in the back rooms where deals are made. He wrote melodies that found their way into the hearts of stars who had lost their own muse. He sold his creations for cash, with no recognition, but the whisper of his songs carried the weight of his soul.

Finally, he bought this piece of desert paradise—a stable income from his timeless songs allowed him to live comfortably, if anonymously. Here in this hacienda, with his family beside him and the mountains as his backdrop, he found the peace to write hits under his own name. He chuckled at the irony that now, without chasing fame, he could create music that brought him joy.

In the end, it was never about the spotlight. It was about the journey, the stories, and the songs that wrote themselves through his life. As the sun set behind the Superstitions, casting long shadows over the hacienda, he strummed his guitar and sang—content, unknown, and unburdened by the world's gaze.
