The Face of Hope

[Verse 1] 
Highway hummin’ through the heat and haze, 
Cracked windshield still holdin’ the days. 
Salt on my skin from the Gulf Coast tide, 
Your voice in my head sayin’, “Boy, don’t hide.” 

[Pre-Chorus] 
Ain’t no ocean view can drown the sound 
Of your boots walkin’ out of this town.
 
[Chorus] 
’Til Friday comes around, I’ll keep driftin’ slow, 
Down 35 where the long winds blow. 
The neon calls, but your memory’s loud, 
I’m singin’ for the silence of a empty bar crowd. 
Honey, I miss you — yeah, I still do now — 
But I’ll make it somehow… ’Til Friday comes around.
 
[Verse 2] 
Barroom jukebox hums that Luckenbach line, 
Old boy laughin’, sayin’, “Son, you’ll be fine.” 
But he don’t know how the coast air feels, 
When a goodbye cuts deeper than steel.
 
[Bridge] 
Maybe you’re watchin’ that same red sun, 
Fade off the pier when the day’s done. 
If you ever find that you miss me too, 
I’ll be right here where the sky turns blue.
 
[Final Chorus]
’Til Friday comes around, I’ll be holdin’ on, 
To a two-step dream and a heartbreak song. 
The road rolls steady, the night wears thin, 
And I’ll fall in love with the wind again. 
Honey, I miss you — yeah, I still do now — 
But I’ll make it somehow… ’Til Friday comes around. 

[Tag]
Yeah, I’ll make it somehow… 
’Til Friday comes around.

I’m JD Hodge — Oklahoma-born, red dirt-raised, and songwriting for over 30 years.

In 2024, I flatlined on an operating table. Cardiac arrest. Everything changed.

When I came back, the words came with me — like they’d been waiting their turn. Since then, the songs haven’t stopped. I write what’s real: struggle, hope, grit, and grace — stories meant to be felt.

You’ll hear pieces of my past, my people, and the kind of heartland truth you can’t fake. These songs aren’t just mine — they’re for anyone who’s fought through silence and still found a voice.
