about

Written May 18th 2014 driving from Shreveport to Lafayette, Louisiana.

lyrics

My inspiration begins
Words fly off of the page
I'll pray to no end
For your cute little face

And I pray with my pen
And I write to no end
Till every last note's in place

As a singer of song
Girl, you're moving to me
As a mystic I long
For holy union with thee

I feel my phrasing is strong
I know my words won't go wrong
And they will pull you to me

Please ditch your old friends
And come next to me, babe
My lips reek of gin
Some say I'm a disgrace

Folk like my own kin
But it seems I've lucked out again
And I penned you in your place

To the fashions, I'd bend
If it means I might taste
I'd pray to no end
For your cute little face

And I pray with my pen
And I write to no end
Till every last note's in place

My latest incarnation has me playing out often, sometimes touring, and writing and recording consistently. ... more
