I am basically a hobbyist, I've been writing songs for years and have only just now got around to recording, and finding it not so much fun. I enjoy the writing more than performing, and performing more than recording.

Lyrics
Waiting on the Governor’s Call Tom Ward & Barrett Gregg The warden says get up now, it’s time Shackled hand and foot I slowly follow they walk me down a hall of stone and iron my heart is feeling only hollow I'm waiting… Momma’s always preachin’ about hope I know our kind don’t get relief The preacher’s pleading pray, son, pray But I don’t have time for their beliefs I'm waiting on the Governor’s call I’ve done my share of wrong in my time But I didn’t do the wrong that put me in here The jury found truth in someone’s lies And the judge said son you won’t be spared Start waiting on the Governor’s call Got any last words?, the warden asks No, I say, while they strap me in the chair The preacher’s pleading pray, son, pray But I don’t need his mercy here I’m waiting.. I'm waiting for the Governor to call But either way I will be released By the ringing of the phone up on the wall Or the silent snapping of the switch One sends me straight to hell and ends my time on this earth One sends me right back to my cell and I wonder which is worse oh, I wonder which is worse
