Songwriter specializing in modern rock, country, easy listening and pop music.
I'm a songwriter with a wide variety of influences. I am currently seeking a publisher for one or more of my songs. Though I focus on commercially viable Country/Rock and Adult Contemporary, my wide range of infuences ensures that on any given CD of my work, there's something for all tastes in music.

Lyrics
“Americans” Capers Simmons VERSE I The American soldier walked into a bar In the first thirty minutes after the last war The bartender asked him, “What were you fighting for?” And he hold him, “I don’t know.” The American singer plays his Rock and Roll In the last roadhouse before you pay the toll The crowd wants Country, but if you’ve got soul You can make them yell for more CHORUS Americans rock and Americans roll Into your town, take your money and go ‘Cause Americans know you won’t ask it back Americans party, Americans play With your heart; it’s the American way ‘Cause Americans say you can pick up the slack And you do ‘cause Americans are beautiful and stronger than you. VERSE II The American writer has a story to tell In the first thirty pages of the novel she sells And after you read it, you will know it so well You will buy her sequels, too The American sculptor makes an iron man From the last scrap pieces of his dog food cans And if you look closer you will understand What he’s trying to say to you CHORUS II Americans buy and Americans sell Out their souls to make a dollar bill ‘Cause Americans build their dreams their way Americans save, and Americans kill Time they don’t need to save what they will ‘Cause Americans still believe in faith And you don’t, ‘cause you’ve been praying for Americans to leave you alone BRIDGE Americans play their American songs While Americans right what Americans wronged And Americans eat in your restaurants Americans fight in foreign wars The blood doesn’t run on American shores Then Americans open American stores In your town VERSE III The Englishman, the African, the Chinaman, too Walk into McDonalds every day at noon They buy a quarter-pounder and collectible spoons Then they walk back out the door. The Businessman, the Musician, and his tour band Put on a road show in Tokyo, Japan All of the people sing and clap their hands To sound of the rock and roll ~ CHORUS I ~ ‘Cause Americans still believe in faith And you don’t, ‘cause you’ve been praying for Americans to leave you alone
