I wrote this song about having gone through a hard time and wanting to finally not be afraid and run wild with the dreams and the life that God had placed on my heart.

working through the Journey of a Song handbook from country music hall of fame,I was told to write down a fav memory. Mine was my Granny's cornbread and beans. I miss Sunday dinners and her cornbread and beans but mostly I miss her.

song about living and enjoyin the ride

such an inspirational song

I guess it has been said sin is fun don't make it right but the fact of the matter it happens. Some people cheat and some or careful where like an isolated area

Some of the honkytonks I have played there is always a lady in the establishment that is down in the dumps just needing a friend to talk to.

Describes where I was born near the swamps and everglades

In my travels over the years, I kept seeing the sign "Cemetery Road" everywhere. Since it is so ubiquitous, I felt there must be a universal message in there somewhere. One Cemetery Road sign in particular on Hwy 287 from Amarillo to Dallas, there was a plowed field running alongside a little dirt road to a big grove of trees where the cemetery is located. I visualized a farmer out there on his tractor watching the funeral processions come and go and his reflections on life and death. I got stuck with the song for a while, then when playing a gig for the Army's 121st Aviation Company (Soc Trang Tigers) reunion one year, I wrote the middle verse in honor of the lives disrupted by the war.

you're in for as long as it takes
