Poet Introduction
Music is my life. I'm country and proud
Be This Tough
Verse 1-
I'm stuck doing the same thing
Day after day
Wake up before the dawn
And unload the hay
Check the coop for eggs
Sit down to eat
But not before I pray
Chorus-
I do another lap around
This sleepy little town
I know it like the back of my hand
I swear one day
I'll get out here man
But every time
I drive to that county line
My tires seize up
Who'd ever thought it'd be this tough
Verse 2-
I ain't saying its all bad
But there's gotta be more out there
I swear I'm gonna find it
Some where...

Make You Wish
Verse 1-
Think you're slick
Runnin around
I ought a burn this whole town
To the ground
With you in it
Take a page from Miranda and Carrie
Make you wish you would have thought twice
About that night
Oh
Chorus-
I ain't playing the victim
In your demented
Little game
So honey if you want to play
You better be ready for war
You ain't ever met someone like me before
You no good, lying, cheating
Son of a bitch
I'm gonna make you wish
Make you wish
You never did what you did
Verse 2-
I don't know...

I'm A Sucker For A Love Song
Verse 1-
There's days when the rain won't stop pouring
And everything's got me down
No sun shinnin for miles around
When I gonna give in
Give up
That radio plays such a sweet sound
Oh

I'm a sucker for a love song
Every time one comes on
I turn it up

Brings a smile to my face

Any where, any place
You hear those cords
And it hits you right in the heart
From the very start
You'll catching me singing along
Oh I'm a sucker for a love song

All The Crazy
verse 1-
i like an old Hank Williams song
a Chevy to get me back and forth
i like a six string
the sound of a g chord
i'm proud to be
from the land of the free
love some of grandmas home made apple pie
it don't take much for me to get by
chorus-
this world just keeps spinning faster
a new disaster
waiting to happen
people losin their minds
tryin to out run time
but i know there ain't no sense in that
so i just kick on back
with a cold six pack
and my baby
and laugh at all the crazy

Soaking In The Sunshine
verse 1-
that suns beating down
starting to get hotter
grab your flip flops
and head out to the water
its that time of year
bonfires
and cold beer
chorus-
hey hey hey
summers here
we've been waiting for so long
for them winter blues to get gone
i'm ready to kick back
relax
work on my tan
got a cold one in my hand
not a worry on my mind
soaking in the sunshine
verse 2-
watch that bobber
i wanna have a fish fry
as we watch the sun sink over the hill
hey things are about to get real
girls...

Over And Over
Verse 1-
Hey that bed is calling me and you
It's too early
And whatever it is you gotta do
Can't wait a little longer
So come and let me wrap you up a little stronger
There's a secret behind those blue eyes I haven't heard yet
So let's treat this sunrise like a sunset
Oh
Chorus-
Just stay right here
And let me love you like it was our last day
You got a way
Of making me want to stay
There ain't nothing I'd rather do
Than waste away this day with you
So let's forget the world
And fall in love over and over girl
...

The Way Things Use To Be
Verse 1-
My freshmen year of collage
Her senior year of high school
Me and that girl were inseparable
Running down a back road
Hittin every mud hole
And losing control
Chorus
I'd get lost her eyes
Lose all track of time
As we'd chase the moonlight
Dance under a stary night
And promise to never let go
It seems so long ago
I wonder where she's at these days
And if she ever thinks about me
And the way things use to be
Verse 2-
I remember gettin caught in the rain
And gettin caught in the wind
No the rain...

Off a wave rolling in
Sun rays soakin my skin
Hey I should have a little piece of mind
But all I can find
Is a longing for some more
Oh

Talk to me Texas
I need to hear from that lone star state
It can't wait
Got it on speed dial
Wont cha just pick up that phone
Can you hear me calling out

Single can't get much stronger
So come on, come on
And talk to me Texas

Just Being You
VERSE 1-
Came home early from work today
Walked in quietly
And watched as she put the dishes away
She had the radio turned up
She was singing and dancing
Not knowing I was watching her every move
She looked so beautiful
I tried not to make a sound
But she stopped when she saw me
And turned around
She got real red and ran out the room
Girl if you only knew
CHORUS-
It doesn't matter what you do
You’re just so damn perfect
When you’re just being you
You don’t even have to try
Girl you always have my eye
So honey...

Cool The Flames
Verse 1-
I've got a wild side
that nobody can deny
never been one for walking away from a fight
they use to call me ms. stay out all night
hey I've got a reputation
and no explanation
but
Chorus-
you bring out a side of me
that no one gets to see
turn into a teddy bear
when you run your fingers through my hair
looking into those deep blue eyes
and i know why I've been running all of this time
your kiss knocks me to my knees
brings out the angel in me
i may be like fire and gasoline
but you're the rain
that cools...
