A song about the BP oil spill in the Gulf.
Welcome to my page! I hope you like it here. I’ve been writing songs on and off for the past 30 years. I tend to write country although I'm known to write songs that are more folk or rock. Sometimes when I sit down with a guitar I surprise myself with what comes out!

Lyrics
How Did We Get Here The inferno started In the Gulf of Mexico Eleven people died Catastrophe brewed deep below The oil was gushing Every day and every night And still it continues With no end in sight How did we get here Look at what we've done How did we get here What have we become Progress has blinded us And no one seems to care How did we get here How did we get here Poisoned wildlife, cries out As it suffocates and dies The shores are covered under A layer of blame and lies Technology has come so far But look what it's inflicted We can watch the leak online Yet we don't know how to fix it How did we get here Look at what we've done How did we get here What have we become Progress has blinded us And no one seems to care How did we get here How did we get here
