Had fun with this one.. co/write with Trey Bruce... "I still want to run, kick and bite like I used to, but now I only want to do it to you, you're the only one I want riding me off into the sun!" That about sums this one up! Hope you enjoy it!
What artist do you think would cut this?
Yes Sir.. that’s Troy.. Just one of my favorite singers in town. SO pro.. and a joy to work with!!

Another Great song and Demo Jonny.
You and Troy are a very talented pair.
The musical style fits todays market while the lyrics can pull in older fans like me. Not easy to pull off. NICE !!!
The Chorus Jumps off the page.
But the line about the 4 legged clown had an edge to it for me. But maybe it is “Just Me”.
Bridge was nice and tight.
Good luck with this one.
Cheers,

Better Broke
Writers: TreyBruce/Jonny Born
You don’t wanna break a promise made to your mama
You don’t wanna chip your grandma’s good china
You don’t want to rip the side mirror off your car with your neighbors truck
You don’t want to break your damn fist in a bar fight
Your old man’s heart cause your in jail for the third time
But if there’s some things better off broke, I might be one, cause
When it comes to me and the way I love you
I don’t need to find greener grass like I used to
Jumping fences each night under somebody else’s sky
Cause when it comes to you and the way you love me
I ain’t the four legged clown that I would be
If you hadn't reigned me in tight with strong love like a rope
I’m better broke
Before you came along I was hell on the highway
Like the rain in a storm blowin’ sideways
Making a mess of everything I touched and everything I loved
I still wanna run kick and bite like I used to
But now I only want to do it to you
You’re the only girl I want riding me off into the sun
When it comes to me and the way I love you
I don’t need to find greener grass like I used to
Jumping fences each night under somebody else’s sky
Cause when it comes to you and the way you love me
I ain’t the four legged clown that I would be
If you hadn't reigned me in tight with strong love like a rope
I’m better broke
You kinda saved me from myself
Now I don’t need no one else
You’re the only girl in this great big world I see, ‘cause
When it comes to me and the way I love you
I don’t need to find greener grass like I used to
Jumping fences each night under somebody else’s sky
Ya when it comes to you and the way you love me
I ain’t the four legged clown that I would be
If you hadn't reigned me in tight with strong love like a rope
Ya, I’m better broke.
Broke
Ya I'm better broke
