DescriptionI am passionate about music and words, and wrote music in Nashville about twenty years ago. It was just for fun, but I did get my songs in front of Trace Adkins (piano vocal, lol). Since then, I let the rest of life take up my time (it's been a great life!). This year I felt it was time to pursue this with more focus. I write across nearly every music genre, and I try to write story-driven, or deeply resonating music. My favorite artist is Jack Johnson.

Dreams & AmbitionsMy goal is a publishing deal as a lyricist. I love working with words and using them to inspire, encourage and challenge, and my music is catchy and "relevant" but always with a profound underpinning message. I have a diverse range of music interests, but am always drawn to deep and cerebral lyrics like Jack Johnson and the Indigo Girls.

ON THE DRIVE HOME

It was 10pm on a Tuesday
His taillights split through the black
From a motel on the outside of town
There’d be no turning back
His mind was filled with a million cheap excuses
He could try
But the hint of sweet perfume
Proved they'd be nothin' but lies

(chorus)
The car broke down
I worked too late
The boss man called
And I had to wait
The boys went drinkin'
I guess I stayed too long
But there was no one he could blame	
As he tried to fight the shame		
With the cheap excuses made
On the drive home

He pulled into the driveway
Barely missed his son's new bike
He hoped his wife would be asleep
So he could hide that night
But as he opened up the door
His son came running from the den
"I hit my first homerun tonight"
"Daddy, where have you been?"

(chorus 2)
The car broke down
I worked too late
The boss man called
And I had to wait
The boys went drinkin'
I guess I stayed too long
But staring in those eyes
He broke down and he cried		
From the cheap excuses made
On the drive home


(bridge)
And it was just one night
That cost him so much life
Now his wife fights to believe him when he says...

(chorus)
