The singer is just a working man who knows who he is and what's important to get the job done and live a good life.

The singer wants another chance with his girl and uses the dog as an excuse to get her back. This is a humorous take on using guilt to get another chance.

In 1979 I was given a poem from a customer at a place I was playing at asking if I could put their words to music, they didn't want a writing credit and at 15 years old I wasn't fully aware of the whole song writing credits thing...

Suffice to say that years later when looking up the song title I found a poem that was uncredited with very similar lyrics...so likely the person that gave it to me did not write it.

I added a second verse and this recording is from 1991, when I was a "little" younger and I consider this the first song I ever wrote.

A song about the birth of Christ. My first Christmas song

This is a song about the power of words. I was wrestling with how easy it is to say words with no conviction behind them, empty words. This song is a declaration that my words will not be empty anymore. What I will say is what I mean to say.

Sometimes life pushes hard but deep roots make it possible to stand against incredible forces. This is a song about sending my roots down deep into the God of the universe, who is able to keep me standing no matter what comes.

Uptempo: How do you get a woman out of your craw? With red hot fiddle, banjo, and dobro of course!

Bluesy song written with Ava Paige and Elysse Yulo. AJ Kross Vocals.

Growing up my Grand-Pa would put on his old hat and take a walk in the woods behind our house every afternoon so I ask him why one day and he said it gave a man time to pray,so years latter thinking about that I wrote this song.
