As a single parent I understand hardships of life and have been writing songs for years but didn't pursue a music career till now. I packed my bags and headed for Nashville where I competed in a Nashville Star Search Showcase as a country singer and was offered a gospel recording contract. I didn't sign it, but I learned everything I could while I was in Nashville. I set out to publish my songs so people could be blessed by the lyrics. This is how "ShyAnne" began.

Story behind the song

After a hard break-up, I got to writing and humming this tune and my feelings about how my guitar was always a constant in my life through everything.  This is my debut single that has kicked off my singing career.  I performed this song at a Kansas Music Festival and a clip of the performance was on CMT.

Lyrics

When I wake up in the mornings
And no soul is around
When I feel alone and scared
With no one to comfort me
When life is unforgiving
When my eyes shed a tear
I can always count on you
My Dear Old Guitar

Chorus:
With your long wooden neck
Your voice as cold as steel
Your warmth a melodie
Your comfort a gentle tune
No one could ever replace you 
My trusty old guitar
No man dare replace you
My Dear Old Guitar

After the day is done
And the sun has gone to bed
As the man in the moon brightly stares
As the stars dance in the air
As the breeze blows away my troubles
As the Night calms my fears
I can always count on you
My Dear Old Guitar

Chorus
