I wrote this song a few years back. At the time, I was running my visitation center in Florence, AL. We facilitated visits with foster children and their parents. Needless to say it wasn't always roses and sunshine,(very stressful). One night ,I can remember it just being a terrible day that day. One of the fathers had showed up high on meth and threatened to kill my wife and I. When I got home , I went to my room and hit my knees and started praying. I wasn't trying to write a song at the time, but these words hit me like a ton of bricks. I feel anytime you try to do any good in this world you will be met with the opposite. I hope you enjoy this song and that it moves you like it did me.
I had this song demoed out by Drew Middleton here in Nashville TN.

Shooting for the moon, I imagine this being a pitch to Luke Bryan or similar. Maybe it's too edgy, but my thought is to write for what he might release in 1-2 years, as country may go more groove and pop oriented, with more edgy lyrics.

My wife and I passed through the small town where I grew up, as we stopped to visit a longtime friend I've known since the first grade. As we drove away, I shared with my wife that I had a crush on this girl in the 2nd grade; that she was smart and really pretty. I laughed as I remembered being jealous of Elvis because she thought he was cool. As we drove away, I drew on thoughts of my wife and me visiting Panama City Beach, back before the advent of cell phones, and that it's ironic how my past lead me to her...

We’ll lock the door, turn out the light.
Turn the radio, and us up on high....we all need more slow dances.

I'm really putting myself out there with a work tape recorded on my phone...lol. Looking for feedback, critiques, etc. Story of a letter being written to mom and dad.

True story about Satanic Serial killings unsolved in Gilmer, Texas

Two people going through a breakup-- both wanting to get back together but not sure where the other stands.

Modern day version of King David and Bathsheeba. Every man struggles but just because you are in the moment doesn’t mean you have to be a part of the moment. You can choose to walk away with just the memory and not the action of committing adultery.
