Letting You Go (Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

[Verse 1]
It don’t seem right, seeing a grown man cry
Keep it all inside, it’ll be alright
But that’s not the way I feel.
This broken heart is real

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go

[Verse 2]
When you and I met for the first time
Oh how I tried so hard to catch your eye
I knew what we had was real
That’s still the way I feel

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go

[Solo]
[Bridge]
I knew what we had was real
Dammit that’s how I feel

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow
If you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go
letting you go

Letter From Santa Claus (Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)

[Verse]
Christmas morning, there was snow
I could hardly wait to go
Downstairs and look under the tree
To see what Santa left for me

There was a red & white bobber and some fishing line
Along with a note tied with twine
In disbelief I had to pause
Could this be a letter from Santa Claus?

[CHORUS]
(I got a letter from Santa Claus, I got a letter from Santa Claus)
A letter from Santa Claus
(I got a letter from Santa Claus, I got a letter from Santa Claus)

[Verse]
It said, “little one, I’m proud of you.
I’ve been watching all you do.
You’ve been good and I wish
You could have everything on your list

But money is tight at the North Pole
Give me two more weeks to get your fishing pole
And promise me, when the snow thaws
You’ll go fishing with your Pa.” Signed Santa Claus

[CHORUS]
(I got a letter from Santa Claus, I got a letter from Santa Claus)
I got a letter from Santa Claus
(I got a letter from Santa Claus, I got a letter from Santa Claus)

[Solo]

[Bridge]
That was many years ago and I’m still amazed because
Santa’s handwriting looks just like Daddy’s does…I got a letter!

[CHORUS]
(I got a letter from Santa Claus, I got a letter from Santa Claus)
I got a letter from Santa Claus…I got letter
(I got a letter from Santa Claus, I got a letter from Santa Claus)
I got a letter from Santa Claus.
(I got a letter from Santa Claus, I got a letter from Santa Claus)
I got a letter from Santa Claus.
(I got a letter from Santa Claus, I got a letter from Santa Claus)

Letter From Santa Claus (Country Version)

Woke up late, sun beatin’ down
Flat tire on the way outta town
Loaded the truck with the gang and gear
Cooler full of hopes and ice-cold beer

Pulled up to the lake with a bang and a backfire
Boat wouldn’t start, then it caught on fire
Jimmy grabbed a hose but sprayed ol' Dan
Now he’s half wet and smellin’ like Spam

But hey, we’re laughin’ in the weather
Soaked in beer and barbecue together
Dog ran off with the ribs, no one could catch her
But it doesn’t matter, life’s only getting better!

Tried to fish with a stick and string
Hooked my hat, not a single thing
Then Joe brought out his granddad’s gun
Said, “We ain’t catchin’ fish, let’s just have fun!”

Shot at a can, hit the boat by mistake
Plugged a hole—now it floats like a rake
Dog came back with a skunk in her mouth
We all jumped in and swam it out

Yeah, we’re soaked and smellin’ like leather
But this mess just ties us closer together
Smoke in our eyes, but hearts light as a feather
'Cause it doesn’t matter, life’s only getting better!

We ain’t fancy, but we’re rich in laughs
Countin’ stories in the aftermath
Broken chairs and burnt hot dogs
We’re kings and queens in cut-off logs

Yeah, the boat's sinkin’ and we lost the tether
But the sky’s still blue, and we’re light as a feather
With beer in hand, and a pack of go-getters
It doesn’t matter, life’s only getting better!

Life's only getting better

Stripped back and soul-laid-bare, this version captures the quiet strength of memory and connection. No frills — just truth, warmth, and the kind of love that speaks in whispers. For anyone who’s ever been changed by a quiet companion.

Smartest Little Soul v1

"Backroad Prayer" is a heartfelt country ballad about searching for answers and faith in the quiet of a midnight drive. With intimate storytelling and cinematic imagery, it captures the raw honesty of talking to God under the stars.
