One man, a guitar, and whatever else.
Heath Houston is a songwriter first and foremost. Almost anything you hear on here is based on that aspect of my abilities. As a matter of fact it's the only aspect I consider to be developed to a point where I feel comfortable with it. I'm not an accomplished guitarist, drummer, bassplayer, or singer. I have aspirations, though. I still have a 15 year old kid air-guitaring to Mtv inside me somewhere who wants to be on a stage in front of 10,000 fans, but I'm really very humble at heart. This page is just me and my songs... no one else. Maybe in the future I'll find some like minded individuals to form a band with. I wouldn't mind that. For now, though, it's just me expressing myself. I write songs because I can't imagine not writing songs. I make music because it's part of who I am. I'm making music in my head most all of my waking hours and quite a few sleeping ones as well. I appreciate the feedback and listens that I have been fortunate enough to have been given. Thank you for visiting and feel free to drop me and e-mail if you have any questions.

Story behind the song
Cardboard Jesus was written, oddly enough, after actually seeing a cardboard Jesus cut out. A fake, paper, plastic substitute for what people really need... the understanding of just one other human being.
Lyrics
Cardboard Jesus If I stand you up straight And keep the rain away And always keep you close to me Will you save my soul? Will you offer me peace Will you take the pain away? If I keep you close to me Will you help me forget the past few days? ::Chorus:: Be my cardboard jesus save me from myself cause i'll surely mess things up in the end be my tissue angel soft and pretty cheap and disposable look the part, and make me confess it's all I really need. ::Chorus:: I do penance on my knees for the pain that just won't go please offer me sanctuary and ease me into the undertow my arms bleed like a broken heart my eyes are filled with doubt wrap me with one last embrace and turn my screams all inside out
