Texas Boy - lyrics

I swore you wouldn't like me
My daddy raised me tough
Taught me how to take a hit
And how to throw a punch

Little rough around the edges
That girl that likes to dream
The one no one remembers
But it don't matter to me.

Here we are.
Lying on our backs. Counting all the stars.
Here we are.
It's never felt so perfect, to hold you in my arms.
But I can't forget that day.
That goodbye. Let go. Turn around and walk away.
You'll be my Texas boy someday.


My momma always told me
That sharing shows your heart
But right now sharing you with her
Is tearing me apart.

I never should've started
To show you how I felt
But everytime you look at me
I start to melt

x

I fall asleep to whispered words inside my head
Thinkin I'll wake up and see you sleeping there instead.
Just one more day and one more prayer I've prayed
And there it goes. My dream replays.

x

You'll be my Texas boy someday

Destined for Greatness

“To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if the moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.” And that’s all the motivation I needed to tell myself I wouldn’t be caught unprepared any more and if I would fail again I would fail better. This post is short and sweet but celebrates some physical and mental milestones. It marks over 6 months of consistent, specific conditioning and the disciplined late nights and early mornings it took to get here. It celebrates 2 years of sobriety and the seemingly impossible work of overcoming darkness when you least expect it. It’s a reminder to me of why I changed so much in so little time and what I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish if I still relied on alcohol to get me through my days. And it’s okay to live a life others do...

The Real Me

I once read, "If you’ve got a problem with alcohol, the solution is easy. Just stop drinking. Because if your problem is with alcohol then when you stop, it will go away. But if you're truly an alcoholic, it's not that easy. Because when you stop drinking, the problem really begins.” And that's what my 2016 was. Dark. Dark and sober. I couldn't hide behind the whiskey anymore. I was exposed and destroyed. Anyone can hide. But no one can hide forever. And in hindsight, lucky for me it only took seven years to be found. I have a few people to thank but particularly the one who saved me that day. He knows who he is. Sometimes the brotherhood is dissonant. Sometimes they talk behind your back. But he approached me with concern and love and with a really harsh dose of reality. And I finally knew then if I kept going I would die. Or worse, kill someone else. So today is a good day. It's been almost 19 months since I took my last drink; alone and sobbing in the d...

Read My Mind - lyrics

It's been too long since I last saw you here I can't believe it's been three years Here you are standing next to me How you been. Whatcha doing now that life Has been moving on Me. I'm Okay. But seeing you now. I'm doing great. And I love how you're living for you. And I love how your dreams are coming true. But secretly I wish that it was you and me. It's been this long. You haven't left my mind at ease. Why'd you always have to leave. Why can't you just stay with me. All I want's that heart of yours to see my own. Begging you to make this one its final home. You kiss my hand and say goodbye. I wish that you could read my mind. It's been too long since I last held you here. I can't go on knowing what we had was love. I let it disappear. How's this work. How'd this happen to the ones That were meant to be. Yeah. I'm okay. But seeing you now. I'm about to break. But I love how you're fighting it all. And I love how ...
