THANKS!

Howdy Friends! Hope this finds you well - I know it’s been a minute. As the year comes to an end I just wanted to thank you all for your support. In 2022 my music was played in over 58 countries and had almost 40k streams on Spotify - thank you for making this happen.

Last month I was back in the studio finishing up some new songs, very excited to get them out to you. Currently working with my friend Tim Gordon arranging a horn section for one of the tunes. After that we will start mixing (it never ends) and hopefully get these out before spring.

Hope everyone has a great holiday season and I’ll see ya in 2023!

I’ve been fighting it
Fifteen miles or so
Can’t find a reason to turn around
Can’t remember my last time
Crossin’ that county line again
I left it in the wind

All I ever wanted
Was right in front of me
The hardest part of letting go
Is knowin’ when to leave

I’ve been flyin’ on my own
The sun sets behind me
On all that I’ve known - and I’m gone
Somewhere along the wind
I ain’t ever comin’ back again

I’ve been floorin’ it
A hundred miles or so
Don’t know why I took so long
Every night I lay and dream
Of all the things I’ve never seen
Outside a tank of gasoline

All I ever wanted baby
Was right in front of me
The hardest part of letting go
Is knowing when to leave

I’ve been flying on my own
The sun sets behind me
On all that I’ve known - and I’m gone
Somewhere along the wind
I ain’t ever comin’ back again

INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

GUITAR SOLO

I’ve been flying on my own
The sun sets behind me
On all that I’ve known - and I’m gone
Somewhere along the wind
I ain’t ever comin’ back again
