about

A Country Rock stomper, a driving declaration of the reason I keep doing what I am doing.

lyrics

Pauper Or A King

It's 4am and we're driving hard Headlights cutting us a tunnel down through the night Touring this country wears the rubber down But there's something in a ten hour drive that feels just right Down highway one we fly like a bullet Down to the next town with a whiskey bar and a stage We'll get them stomping when we get down to it Each night we're playing better then we've ever played I might end up a pauper or I might end up a king But that ain't the reason I'm a riding this thing Ain't the reason I play this guitar Ain't the reason I get up and sing I might end up a pauper or I might end up a king But that ain't the reason I'm riding this thing I do it for the song I need to sing tonight And it might not make me rich -but it will make me feel alright Now I swear if the road don't do me in The hotels and the farewells will my friend It can break you down it can make you spin But I wouldn't trade this life of mine for anything Back home she’s still on her own At the next truck stop I’ll call her on the phone I’ll tell her baby, baby, baby you’re my blessing in the night Just knowing you’re there makes long dark road seem light We still got 500 miles to go Woh, woh, before we can shut this old truck down We'll get a few winks before the next show Flying on this track that just goes round and round and round and round

He was born, he lived and he will die. In between he dreamed and achieved and made a lot of friends. Loved a lot, didn't hate too much except for hate and greed. Tried to help, played a lot of guitar, sang a lot and released a whole slew of cds.
