This song is from a new project I am starting focused on releasing as a songwriter's journey. These will be one-take versions in their rawest form.
Production is not supposed to be the focal point here, just the song. Let me know what you like or don't like about it. Thanks again.

Verse 1
When I was young my daddy taught me
Lessons of life that I should know
His gentle voice and those words of wisdom
Tidbits of knowledge treated like nuggets of gold
Chorus
He'd say don't confuse love with lust
Always trust in pickup trucks
Keep your word
In the end it's all you have
Stand up and fight for what is right
Count your blessings not your burdens at night
Keep your eye on the prize and your family strong and whole
Find a good woman
And love the hell outta her
Verse 2
Mama and daddy found each other and they married young
Folks couldn't believe that they'd try to walk that road
Struggles of life and a wolf at the door
Looking back now they've had a damn good run
Chorus
So don't confuse love with lust
Always trust in pickup trucks
Keep your word
In the end it's all you have
Stand up and fight for what is right
Count your blessings not your burdens at night
Keep your eye on the prize and your family strong and whole
Find a good woman
And love the hell outta her
Bridge
Daddy passed 5 years ago now
It hit us hard but we're on the mend now
She's my rock and man has our family grown
She keeps my spirit whole
I talk to my kids and I pass down all I know
I say
Chorus
Don't confuse love with lust
Always trust in pickup trucks
Keep your word
In the end it's all you have
Stand up and fight for what is right
Count your blessings not your burdens at night
Keep your eye on the prize and your family strong and whole
Find a good woman
And love the hell outta her
Yeah find a good woman
And love the hell out of her
