Kountry Boy (spelled with a K)
Hey baby I'm a kountry Boy
I spell it with a K cause that's how I roll
I know my grammar just a little out of control
Cause I talk a little slow
But that don't mean I'm an old scare crow
Got an old Jeep
It's got a couple of holes in the seats
I can come by and pick you up
We can go down by the river with a six pack of bud
Get A little crazy while we kick up some mud
Hey I'm a kountry boy
Can't apologize for what I am
Love Jesus and being alive ...

Whiskey
I whisper your name
No one can hear I'm to blame
Feelings keep pouring out like rain
Holding this bottle so I won't feel the same
Don't know how I got here
Maybe it was the whiskey
Maybe it was fear
Wonder if you ever miss me
I guess you call LA home
It's a long way from this Georgia town
Sitting here staring at this phone
Like the whiskey it never makes a sound
Haven't heard from you in twenty one days
I guess those lights keep you out on the town
I'm still here in a daze
So i'll...

Feathers
I walk on this shore
Where angels have walked before
Collecting feathers that fell from their wings
I hold them in my hands
So God will understand
The comfort that it brings
I'm afraid to die
So I'll pretend to fly
With feathers that I own
I go back in time
Nothing but you I find
Memories are like stones
They only hurt when you crash on them alone
Where angels have walked before
Collecting feathers that fell from their wings
I hold them in my hands
So God will understand
The comfort that it brings
I'm afraid to die
So I'll pretend to fly
With feathers that I own
I go back in time
Nothing but you I find
Memories are like stones
They only hurt when you crash on them alone

Reins
This prison has no walls
no locks or chains
Still I can't free myself from these reins
Desire is a fire
It consumes you within
Until you're only left the ashes of sin
Only the weak can belong
The strong will hesitate
Once you find your pearl on a gate
no locks or chains
Still I can't free myself from these reins
Desire is a fire
It consumes you within
Until you're only left the ashes of sin
Only the weak can belong
The strong will hesitate
Once you find your pearl on a gate

A One Eyed Dove
Does your conscience grow
You're the one to let me go
Now we're apart
Dose it hurt your heart
Now l live in this town
Where the cedars are around
And I don't know why
Are you listening
Can you hear it in my voice
You say stay the course
Now dust is gathering
She stopped the bleeding
It started from an act of needing
She wasn't a sin
just my best friend
As I walk on this shore
Wished I'd known her before
I can hear her scream
But only in a dream
On this wing I soar
With a one eyed dove...
You're the one to let me go
Now we're apart
Dose it hurt your heart
Now l live in this town
Where the cedars are around
And I don't know why
Are you listening
Can you hear it in my voice
You say stay the course
Now dust is gathering
She stopped the bleeding
It started from an act of needing
She wasn't a sin
just my best friend
As I walk on this shore
Wished I'd known her before
I can hear her scream
But only in a dream
On this wing I soar
With a one eyed dove...

Beach Bound
Just gotta little sand in my jack
Hey that's okay
Settin' here watching those waves roll on back
Lettin' that tide take my troubles away
The sun is bright the sky is blue
Love me some time when it me and you
Better hang on
Cause I'm beach bound
Gonna kick it around
Here with surff and sand
Waves crashing over our feet as we walk hand in hand
When the sun sets low we gotta go
On to the tiki hut and break on down
Got my beach time on
With nothing else to do ...

With A Cross Around Her Neck
Everyday begins and ends the same
Only those kids call her by name
She feels invisible
Like a ghost on a train
She can only see her reflection
When lighting pass through rain
In a field he now calls home
She stands all alone
With a cross around her neck so God don't forget his place beyond these stones
She lets a balloon touch the sky
But only the wind whispers goodbye
She sits in a car that just want start
That drives her broken heart
Her head against the wheel
She tries not to feel
all the miles...

Voice Of Reason
Here on this mountain
Feeling so high
Standing at the edge of the sky
Like a midnight drifter
That's to old to fly
With a spirit of an eagle's cry
The moon has it's phases
The star locked in its constellation
still theres a light I can't find
I'm blinded by the feeling
With all this double dealing
Words of red echos in my head
I been accused of treason
by a voice of reason
From a glass that's always lookn' back
Hanging here not to judge
or hold a grudge
Just the reflections...

L. A. (just a memory)
Somewhere between the Ocmulgee and Tallapoosa
My mind slips away back beyond yesterday
A dew with some jack
A tee top chevy a Skynyrd eight track
Play it pretty for Atlanta always takes me back
I still feel the sun shining on your face
Making memories that time can't erase
We drove that chevy into the night
Passing through jukin city
like on an airplane flight
Still drink my dew with some jack
With every sip it takes me back
Time drifted us apart
now my grandkids fill my heart
So many years have...
