He had a green John Deer tractor that sat in the yard. He had piles of hay underneath the red painted barn. He had a smile that said I love you and never cussed when work got hard. He had a banged up Chevy that never seemed to start. And I had him and he had me. He gave me his Bible and taught me to read. He said now son you can do this for yourself. He taught me how to live, how to love how to fight, how to lead, how to get back up, how to love, how to dream, and how to raise a family. So I bought a John Deer tractor and a fifty acre farm. I fixed up grandpa's Chevy, and repainted that old barn. And I dated a good woman, we were married under the stars. Life was moving quickly, two pink lines and a baby boy. And I had him and he had me. I gave him a Bible and taught him to read. I said now son you can do this for yourself. I taught him how to live, how to love how to fight, how to lead, how to get back up, how to love, how to dream, and how to raise a family. And daddy said, and now I'm saying it to you son, Keep your chin up boy, life is hard but worth the fight. Buy some land and a truck you can fix up... Praise God for a woman you can love. And I had him and he had me. He showed me his Bible and told me he'd read it. He said now dad I can do this for myself. He showed me he could live and love and fight and lead and get back up and love and dream... and raise a family. How to raise a family. How to raise a family.

about

The album is titled The Long Ride because of how long it took me to complete. I've been working on this album for six years... yeah, that's roughly one song per year. But hey, I'm not getting paid to do it and required a lot of time, work, collaboration, and team work with other musicians. I am so grateful to the musicians who helped put this together—you know who you are!
