A rock-a-billy blend of acoustic and electric guitar makes this suspenseful story come alive.

A regular guy gets a little drunk one night and decides to commit a crime. Afterwards he finds himself on the run, constantly looking over his shoulder.

I pulled up, speakers blastin' out a Rebel yell
As the rain poured down on the Astro Motel
I got out the cash then I got out my gun
And I knew from this day forward that I'd always be on the run

Now it ain't no fun, I'm always on the run
Lawman, here he come

This all started as a joke
Sittin' around drinkin and thinkin' about stealin
then fleeing down to Mexico
I thought that it was crazy and I knew that it was dumb
but the mind don't hear no reasoning
when the body's full of rum

Now it ain't no fun, I'm always on the run
Lawman, here he come

Drivin' down the Interstate around mile marker 21
I was wonderin' why I wasn't surprised
when I saw the blue light come on.
So starin' there in my rear view
and strugglin' now with what to do
'cause sign up ahead says 'Son, you'll be dead, if a chase does pursue'

Now it ain't no fun, I'm always on the run
Lawman, here he come

Lawman walked up to my side and said "How do you do?"
I said, "Not bad" as he asked, "Do you know why I stopped you?"
I said, "Yes sir, I think I do, but all that really matters is why did you?"
He said, "Step out the car" and that was my cue
so I punched the gas like I had nothing to loose

Now it ain't no fun, I'm always on the run
Lawman, here he come

Rock/Pop song about sacrificing your personal desires to stay with someone you love. Strong emotional vocals by T.Moody with a powerful vocal hook by "Alex", rippled with strong electric crunch guitar.

This guy finds himself depressed a lot of times, but finds his reason to live in the love of his woman. Without it, he would probably give up all hope.

Sometimes this world brings me down
Hits me so hard can't get my head up off the ground
Don't you know I want to spread my wings and fly

But I guess I'll stay here a little while...just a little while
Baby...just a little while

I ain't saying everything's so sad
Don't get me wrong, no life ain't that bad
'Cause when I look deep in her eyes

Makes me want to stay here a little while...just a little while
Baby...just a little while

Where did you come from and
where have you been
To love me despite my inclination to sin
Makes me wonder and ask why

And I think I'll stay here a little while...just a little while
Baby...just a little while

So when this world brings me down
Her love will pick me up right off the ground
No slow reaction no delay

A love that grows and stays here a little while...just a little while
Baby...just a little while

Rock-Tonk song about a guy, bored with life, who ventures out into the world to gain more experiences. Impressive guitar and tight drumming creates a high energy that makes you want to drive really fast (or at leat break something).

This guy is tired of trying to 'keep up with the Jones'' so he sets out to do his own thing and in the process discovers that he is content with the way things are, so "To Hell" with the Jones'.

I took a walk down a long and winding road
Just to find myself and where it is I'd go
Now my feet took me many places and my eyes seen many faces
On the run

And I run far behind
Just to find, I walk the line
Yes I run far behind
And you know I feel fine

I took a ride on a railroad track
knowing that I may never come back
So with a six string in my hand
And a master plan
I went on the run

And I run far behind
Just to find, I walk the line
Yes I run far behind
And you know I feel fine

I took a flight on an airplane
Just to see if I was still sane
And to my surprise, this I did find
I nearly lost my mind

And I run far behind
Just to find, I walk the line
Yes I run far behind
And you know I feel fine

Emotional Pop/Rock song about a guy reflecting on a long lost love that any person can relate to. This song takes you into his inner most thoughts and feelings as he wonders what she's doing now.

It's been more than 10 years since he has seen his first love. She broke his heart and he hasn't been the same since. He often reflects on their past relationship wondering where she is and who she's with. He's often tempted to call her and ask if she

She had a two story house just East of Omaha
And the prettiest smile that your eyes ever saw
And long brown hair that seemed to float in the breeze
And a look that would drive any seventeen year old to his knees

And I wonder what she's doin' if she thinks about me
'Cause it's been so long but I still feel this need
Just to pick up the phone, get her all alone and say
Do you remember me?

Now the years have passed since 1993
And sometimes late at night I can still feel her holding me
'Cause the smell of her purfume still floats in the breeze
And as of yet I have not got up from off my knees

And I wonder what she's doin' if she thinks about me
'Cause it's been so long but I still feel this need
Just to pick up the phone, get her all alone and say
Do you remember me?

The last time I saw her she was with a different guy
I thought to myself this ought to be some kind of crime
'Cause she stole my heart and then she left me here to bleed
Asking myself this question...
Do you remember me?

A guitar driven rock song filled with encouraging lyrics and energy. Complete with an edgy electric guitar solo. This song makes you want to stand up and shout!

A realization of when one begins to think for themselves instead of adhearing to all the opinions of others, and starts to become confident of their own decisions.

Sometimes it ain't no fun
When your back's against the wall, under the gun
But you keep your head, your chin high
Knowing the reason if asked why

'Cause one day you'll find yourself outta here
Gotta keep your head, gotta keep it clear
And I know that I'm not always right
But a 'for sure' feeling says I'm right tonight
I know that I'm right tonight

Circumstance and situations only lead to my frustration
But I won't let it get me down
'Cause I've been so high, I had to walk so low
From the mountaintop to the valley below
And this is what I found

One day I'll find myself outta here
Gotta keep my head, gotta keep it clear
And I know that I'm not always right
But a 'for sure' feeling says I'm right tonight
Yes I know that I'm right tonight

Why does it always seem to me
The more they're blind the more I see of this that surrounds
'Cause politicians and religion tryin' to make my decision
The truth is what I believe

One day I'll find myself outta here
Gotta keep my head, gotta keep it clear
And I know that I'm not always right
But a 'for sure' feeling says I'm right tonight
Yes I know that I'm right tonight

Emotionally stirring acoustic song about the perils of addiction and it's effects on relationships.

After a night of drunkeness I woke up on a cold sidewalk and my girlfriend was no where in sight. When I found her later that day and asked her why she left, she said "Two words...the bottle!" I wrote this song as a result.

The lights they seem to burn so dim tonight
And the glow is gone 'cause she is no where in sight
She left me all alone once again
Says "That's the price you pay when the bottle becomes your friend."

Now the cold wind, well it blows so strong
As I walk these streets, but no not alone all alone
'Cause it seems to me that she was right
As I find myself holding my friend, "The Bottle" tonight

When will I ever learn
Always in this position of crash and burn
When will I ever see
There is no future in my history

As I sit here singing the same old song
And pondering in my mind is it right or is it wrong
For her to leave when I have certain company
Truth is she don't want to see "The Bottle" take over me

When will I ever learn
Always in this position of crash and burn
When will I ever see
There is no future in my history

Acoustic rock groove about living and learning. Filled with extended guitar jams and precision lead guitar. In fact, the lead guitar in this song takes on it's own personality and should be considered as a duet partner. This song makes you feel free s

Mere existance and survival is boring. But actually stepping out and living life equals learning. This song describes personal philosophies that we adapt as part of who we are as we travel through and experience life.

Does me so good to look back on the way things used to be
Locked in by my sin, blind, for you know I could not,
No I could not see
For I thought I knew it all
Until life's lessons taught me that my pride comes before my fall

Hindsight's 20/20 I heard someone say
And looking back at my steps, I find those words become clearer
Each and every day
For I now know.
Funny how life's lessons can break you or they make you grow

Now that I'm older some lessons I've learned
Like playing with fire, I'm bound to get burned
For I have found
Liberty, life, love, freedom unbound

Easy rock with a groovy feel. This song is about longing to be with someone while being trapped in an unwanted relationship. T.Moody sings from his heart along with female vocals that are haunting and powerful. This song is sure to stir emotions.

It's the old "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with" syndrome, only with a twist. In today's world, we can never be satisfied with a bad relationship once we've developed a better one. So we struggle with the 'big' decision of le

Connection, reflection it's not the same
So don't tell me this is one big game
'Cause what I know is what I know
And all I know is this
Yeah there's something much more, much more to this

'Cause I can feel you breathin'
And I know what your thinkin'
What's on your mind tonight

Thoughts transend all space and time
Communication by miles of phone line
I tell you all that's within
Nothing that I hold
Finding confession so good for my soul

'Cause I can feel you breathin'
And I know what your thinkin'
What's on your mind tonight

When will I learn that the page that I turn won't burn me
When will I see that to let go of me I'd be free
'Cause to not try means that I'd surely die inside
So here I stand again exposing my sin while knowing
What's on your mind tonight

Southern rockish love song about the intense feelings one has for their lover. Has a hand clapping, blue grassy feeling as well.

I wrote this as I watched the love of my life sleeping one night and realized that I'd do anything for her.

Lamp by the mirror burns so bright
Eyes are closed, x-ray vision I see through the night
The thought of you I can't forget as you lie close to me
Pale white skin glows from the moonlight streak
You're all mine and for this I'd be
A vagabond with no place to call his own, no place to call his home

My lover, I'd do anything for you
Call the sky green, yeah, the grass blue
And for this I'll never forget as you lie close to me
Your skin I'll soak in, I feel my love for you will never end
And for this I have no regret as you lie close to me

Your eyes they hypmotize
I hold my breath as I realize
I'm half a man without you
You complete me through and through

You complete me through and through
You complete me through and through

A song about not being able to write a love song, but the struggle to do so became the "Love Song." This is just a simple acoustic song accompianied with piano, yet it makes all the girls tear up and say 'awwww'.

This was a prophetic song that I wrote about my 'dream girl'. I met her about 3 years later, and married her right away!

I wanted to write you a love song
But I didn't know where to start
To tell you how I feel and the expressions of my heart
I could have some words
Maybe a nice cliche
But that ain't really justice, no
For what it is I want to say

'Cause your eyes, they remind me of the deep blue sea
Sailing on a vessel on a warm summer day
Guided by your love and a gentle breeze
Yes I'm lost in your ocean, on a sea of tranquility
I said I'm lost in your ocean but I feel so free

I wanted to write you a love song
But the words they came out all wrong
'Cause the verse was kind of short
And the chorus was way too long
So I balled it up and I threw it away
It might come back to me another day
But if it don't well that will be okay
'Cause this is what I was going to say

Your eyes, they remind me of the deep blue sea
Sailing on a vessel on a warm summer day
Guided by your love and a gentle breeze
Yes I'm lost in your ocean, on a sea of tranquility
I said I'm lost in your ocean but I feel so free

I wanted to write you a love song
But I thought it would never be
'Cause what it was I was searching for
Was right in front of me
You see it's not the way you fix your hair
And it's not about the clothes you wear
And words can really never say what you do
But I really did want to write a love song about you

'Cause your eyes, they remind me of the deep blue sea
Sailing on a vessel on a warm summer day
Guided by your love and a gentle breeze
Yes I'm lost in your ocean, on your sea of tranquility
I said I'm lost in your ocean but I feel so free
