A Marriage Brought down by pride because both people are too stubborn to listen the other or admit there own mistakes
A mix of Country,Folk and Mild Southern Rock, A litle something for everyone.
My name is Michael Terry, I was the frontman for the "Lake Creek Band" for five years and the frontman for a band called "Fourway" for two and a half years. Though I couldn't get anybody to take the music seriously enough I still work closely with the lead guitar player from "Fourway" and we are still trying to put a band back together. Until then I will continue to work on my own music (And only a couple "Covers" of some of my favorites.

Story behind the song
It's the same story for so many people who can't bring themselves to communicate for whatever reason and in the end a relationship is brought down by pride and refusing to admit to mutual mistakes.
Lyrics
Empty bottles, Broken pictures and the ring that he had gave her lay beside him as he sat there on the floor. And the words that she had spoken, Though he'd hoped that she was joking, Just sank in and now he's really not so sure. And the phone just keeps on ringing and his heart is slowly sinking, Because he knows she's there but won't pick up the phone.Now she can't say she tried to listen and he can't say I'm sorry so tonight they've helped a heartache to live on. (Chorus)-Answer the phone. This has got to end sometime. Cuz it's no good to be alone, There's too much on the line. But one of them won't pick up and the other one won't hang up and niether on can own up to the fact they've both been wrong, And the hurtin' just goes on. Just answer the phone. (2 verse) There She sits in Mamma's kitchen, Looking through the family album at the pictures that they took last New Years Eve. Was he really that unhappy? Did she really cause this problem? How she wishes this was all just make believe. Once again the phone starts ringing and as it echos down the hallway she begins to blame herself and starts to cry. But her pride won't let her answer,What he's done has really hurt her, Now she feels her only choice is in goodbye. (Chorus)-------------------------------------------------
