Moker Jarrett ASCAP with Lucky Stiff, a classic rock group from Jacksonville, Florida has released Ready to Fly a new CD under Run to the Sun Publishing/ASCAP.
Moker Jarrett grew up in the coastal area of Northeast Florida. His dad was a coach and one of his coaching buddies gave Moker his nickname at around age six. Obviously it stuck like glue. The folk masses at St. Paul's were among his first guitar/vocal conquests and that has turned into a lifetime of writing and performing songs. In addition to his dad, his granny and mom were big influences of his outlook on life. My wife gives me a huge dose of support to continue writing at this level. Country has become a favorite genre of Moker's and his main co-writer, Dale Peaden from Panama City Florida shares 13 of the 17 cuts on the recently released CD "Cut This". This team shares a mix of uptempos and heartfelt tunes and is sure to be on their way to garnering a string of country hits. You'll go away humming the melodies and chorus lines and these songs draw you in and make you feel like you're right there in the story. Still performing at local festivals Moker's group "Moker Jarrett with Lucky Stiff"a Jacksonville Florida based power trio is a collection of veteran performers (Moker Jarrett from Jacksonville, guitars, vocals, & songwriter, Jim Rohl,from Cincinnatti drums, Billy Smith, from Philadelphia, bass guitar, & vocals) commited to having a good time, writing cuttable original material for the country and pop/rock markets, and stayin' true to our roots of music with a groove. Music should make your body move!

Story behind the song
A parents love for their kid, there's not much that runs deeper than that.
Lyrics
Love You Like I Should I. From the first breath You took, I knew I was hooked, cos you needed me looked into your eyes, color of the skies, 'n' I could finally see All the stories I'd been told, from the wise and the old 'bout the way a baby gets into your soul Pre-Chorus: I try to make you laugh, 'n' you end up cryin' with every little tear, feel like part of me is dyin' Chorus: 'cause I love You like I should 'n' I only want what's good In this ol' crazy mixed up world You can always count on me 'cause I love You like I should. and if I only could Give you everything that's good, I would 'cause I love you like I should II. Yeah kid there's always gonna be ups-n- downs, rich or poor, city or small town Granny used to always say "Be thankful for everyday, when that sun sets, best hit your knees and pray" 'times I wish She was still around, lessons learned , I have found, lovin' you keeps me on solid ground Pre-Chorus: You melt me with your laugh, love it when you're smilin' cos with every little tear of yours, feel like part of me is dyin' Chorus: 'cause I love You Like I should 'n’ I only want what's good In this ol' crazy mixed up world You can always count on me ‘cause I love You like I should, and if I only could Give you everything that's good, I would 'cause I love you like I should Bridge: 'member watchin’ what my daddy'd do, 'n I know it's true, see you watch me too if you need a place to turn I'm here for you since that first day, I've been glad, to be the one you call dad to be the one God chose to give you to Chorus: 'cause I love You like I should 'n' I only want what's good In this ol' crazy mixed up world You can always count on me 'cause I love You like I should, and if I only could Give you everything that's good, I would 'cause I love you like I should Tag when that ol' sun goes down,'n' my knees hit the ground I thank the good Lord for my kid, for me, you're the best thing that He ever did Words and Music by Moker Jarrett/ASCAP
