THE DARKER SIDE OF COUNTRY

Artist picture
I come from Texas where I grew up with country, blues, rock, folk, and everything in between. I grew up on a cattle ranch and once I realized that I didn't really want to be a "real cowboy" I followed my dreams of being a musician. I went on to play all over the world and I moved back to the United States in 2000 with my wife Marija whom I met while I was living in the Netherlands. We currently live in Nashville Tennessee and I am now concentrating mostly on writing.

Story behind the song
This is one that I wrote about a woman who uses a Hurricane to cover her tracks
Lyrics
She picked up the phone and called the greyhound line. The seven thirty's leaving right on time. She looks around at what she's leaving behind. She don't see a thing to make her change her mind.....................When she got married she was seventeen. The kind of girl they don't make homecoming queens. They left that town with their teenage dreams, and finally broke down outside of New Orleans..............She found a job in some dingey dive. Tips and tricks kept them both alive. He got drunk almost every night. And everyone could see that she lost every fight......... And that aint right...............The Mississippi River's wide.........And Ponchertrain is rising high...........A hurricane don't need no alibi's..............She pulled that trigger and ran to the night......... (repeat chorus).................She picked up the phone and dialed the greyhound line.........Wiped off her prints and dissapeared in the night.
