POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Music is my life. I'm country and proud
Listen To The Crickets Sing
i see the way you're lookin at me
and it sure does make me happy
so what do you say
we slip away
get gone for a couple of days
i've already got the truck loaded up
the tank is full
and the beers on ice
come on baby
lets go chase the night
oh
those stars are callin me and you
and we ain't got nothing to do
the twinkle in your eye
says you want to give it a try
and it aint no surprise
that i'm itching to spend a little bit of time
with you wrapped up and cuddled up on my tailgate
we can park on the edge of the lake...

It's Real
the simple looks she gives me
could easily bring me to my knees
the way she bites her lip
has me longing for a kiss
i get lost in her deep blue eyes
i cant hide what i'm feelin inside
i dont quite understand
how all i can think about is holdin her hand
oh
suddenly love songs sound sweeter
and the stars shine a little brighter
i was so lucky to meet her
the sky seems bluer
and the air feels cooler
and the sun rise is pinker then i've ever seen
i guess its pretty easy to see
the way she's gettin to me
hey i've never felt...

Your Eyes Say It All
we could lay here talkin all night
till the morning light
yeah it aint no thang
cuz it feels so right
seeing your baby blue eyes
stare into mine
givin me that look
got me losing my mind
oh
so much gets said between you and i
the comings, goings and the passing bys
the ins and outs of life
i've never been to good with emotions
or lettin the feelins fly
oh and i aint ever been one to read between the lines
look for a sign
i might not hear every word you say
but baby keep on lookin at me that way
aint no doubt i'll...

Happy Tears
i know your past aint all that bright
at times it was hard to see the light
you wanted to just give up
didnt want to fight that fight
but you made it out
and ended up here in front of me some how
now
you'll only cry those happy tears
baby i'll protect you from all your fears
aint nothing gonna break you down
not as long as i'm around
so baby take my hand
and we'll stand our ground
girl i'll be your rock when you're feeling weak
your words when you cant speak
i'll be whatever you need me to be
oh as long as i'm here...

Hope You Got All Night
baby you come walkin in here
lookin so damn good
smilin at me
like i wish you would
well why dont you set your purse down
and forget all about work for now
i'm been waitin for such a long time
i've got some music playin
and a bottle of wine
so why dont you slip into something a little more comfortable
like these arms of mine
and i'll spin you around
after i turn the lights down
kiss you so sweetly
and whisper in your ear
tell you everything you want to hear
and what i got planned for me and you

My Kind Of Crazy
that girl can't sit still to save her life
and there's a million thoughts runnin through her mind
it sure makes me wonder some times
but when i see that smile
its like everything slows down
for a little while
just something about her
oh
she's my kind of crazy
the way she calls me baby
got me thinking maybe
she just might be the one
shines brighter than the sun
and she's taken over my heart
never saw it comin
but ain't no more runnin
yeah she's a little wild
and free
taken over me
hit me like a shot of whiskey...

Girl I'm In Love With
eyes bluer than the ocean water
a smile brighter than the sun
she's got me comin undone
she knows everything about me
knows about my past
and the relationships that didnt last
she's everything i need
oh
she's the girl i'm in love with
she's the one that's got my heart
she's the air i breathe
she's in my soul
she's taken control
and i hope she never lets go
i really cant explain it
this feelin that i get
but she's the girl i'm in love with
she has her moments when she breaks down
cries out loud
but she knows...

So Happy I Found You
i was walkin around
never lookin down
it was the same damn thing
the same routine
the same weekend scheme
goin out and gettin drunk
hookin up
with girls i didnt know
i thought love was just a myth
tell it hit me like this
now
i'm so happy i found you
couldn't imagine my life without you
dont know how you do what you do
but i sure hope you feel it too
nothings ever felt so right
swear you're an angel
girl i see the light
you make this sinner hit their knees
cant believe you're here with me
its like a breath of...

God And Guns
all i hear is talk, talk, talk
about where this nation is headin
i think we need more people to walk, walk, walk
wanna take my 2nd amendment away
well brother not today
you'll have to pull my cold dead finger
off the trigger
oh
round here
we do things a little differently
we still beileve
the words written in red
and what the preaher said
we bow our head
before a meal
we know who we are
and how we feel
yeah we're livin real
we dont want to hurt no one
but we'll do what we gotta do
cuz out here we believe in...

Rockin With The Big Dogs
hey you think you know how to get crazy
you aint seen nothing yet baby
you want to see me double fist it
well watch this
jack in one hand
and shots in the other
now come on
come on and try to keep up brother
cuz
you're rockin with the big dogs

when the suns comin up
we're just strated gettin down
you wont find another crowd like this around
stomp our feet to a feel good sound
and sing along
you're rockin with the big dogs
tap that keg
keg stand...

and have you on my arm
mmm...girl you got that charm
flashin them pearly whites
got me wantin to stay more then one night
so what cha doin for the rest of your life
cuz you're sweeter than honeysuckle

Let The Outlaw Out
i've been walkin the straight and narrow way too long
keepin my head down
tryin to just move on
under the radar
nobody notices
nobody gets hurt
just another day at work
i'm losin my mind
i think its about time
let the outlaw out
scream and shot
go wild
like the wild wild west
put that six shooter to the test
better not look at me wrong
no son
giddy up and move along
cuz i'm fixin to tie one on
ya'll know what i'm talkin about
come on
let the outlaw out
aint takin no crap
bite your lip
dont...
