I grew up by the ocean and can't live without it. I need palm trees and sand between my toes. I need that ocean breeze and the smell of salt air. My latest CD, my 3rd, is about the things I love and me getting back to my musical roots. My last CD was written with Cap't Ron T. Smith and two of my favorite songs with his lyrics are included on "I Got it Made!".

Story behind the song
With all these "politically correct" types that don't know anything about history going around trying to turn anything Confederate into some kind of hate symbol, we thought it was time to speak up for the South and the honorable name of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Hell Yeah!!!
Lyrics
I love to sit and pick on my old guitar in the shade, sip Jack Daniels and homemade lemonade, I love the sound of fiddles and mandolins, and the scent of honeysuckle on the evenin wind, Lawdy I love the South Lawdy, I love the South, Dust my britches Sugar Mama and put some barbecue in my mouth, God bless Hank Williams, Andy Griffith, and God bless Robert E. Lee!!! I like to drive around in beat-up old pick-up trucks, I pay my bills on time and keep the grass in my yard cut, I say "Y'all" - "Hell YEAH" and "Yes ma'am", my wife makes biscuits with country ham, God bless Willie Nelson, Bill Monroe, and God bless Robert E. Lee I wake up for work every day before the mornin sun, on weekends I watch the races and clean my gran'daddy's old shotgun, I like fishin in the evenin down by the creek, and every year we go to the beach for a whole week, God bless Lem Motlow, Junior Johnson and God bless Robert E. Lee I like to sit on my porch in the evenins and whittle, have red beans & rice for supper on Tuesday for vittles, every Wednesday ham hocks and collard greens, and Mister I've got the ugliest hound dog you ever seen, God bless Dolly Parton, Aint Bea and Mrs. Robert E. Lee! I love pickin on banjos and old dobros, and listenin to the Grand Old Opry on the radio, we love rockin' in the shade on the screened-in porch and we don't give a damn how you do it up North Lordy I love the South Lordy, I love the South, Pickle my peaches Honey and put some hush puppies in my mouth, And God bless Loretta Lynn, Minnie Pearl and God bless Mama Mae Bell We still play the Allman Brothers, Bocephas and Freebird, and it still means something when a man gives his word, well, just give me hillbilly music and a jar of sweet tea and brother there ain't no place that I'd rather be, God bless Curtis Loew, Arnold Schultz and Rufus "Tee-Tot" Payne Lordy I love the South Dust my britches and put some barbecue in my mouth! and God bless Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and God bless Robert E. Lee God bless Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ernest T. Bass, Jesco White, Richard Petty & God bless Gen-er-ul Robert E. Lee ?AND TRAVELER TOO!
