I write lyrics, country mostly. I sometimes venture out into other genres.
I am always seeking collaboration for my lyrics.
Story behind the song
I race this train to work. I wrote it because I got 2 speeding tickets in 1 month trying to get to work on time.

Lyrics:
ROUTE CATCH 22
Verse 1
I'm racin' that whistle blowin' down the railroad tracks,
Can't let that train stop me so I hammer down real fast,
Then I ease off the pedal, when I know I won't be late,
So I won't have to meet that, red and blue light fate.
Chorus
Route Catch 22
Gripping the wheel, looking for you
Route Catch 22
Hammer down, when the whistle blows
Verse 2
My radar vision's dimming on this dark county road,
There's a radar gun aiming from the shadows I know,
I lean on the pedal, when I'm pushed past the limit,
Then I'm even later, detained for that speeding ticket.
Chorus
Route Catch 22
Gripping the wheel, looking for you
Route Catch 22
Hammer down, when the whistle blows
Verse 3
I drive Route Catch 22,
There's a need for speed 'fore I slow down,
Or follow the limit when the whistle blows,
Risk the man waiting down the road,
Waiting down the road.
Chorus x2
Route Catch 22
Gripping the wheel, looking for you
Route Catch 22
Hammer down, when the whistle blows
Bridge
The pedals down before or after, I reach that track disaster..
Risk my rates and record.. and pay those county bastards....
Chorus
Route Catch 22
Gripping the wheel, looking for you
Route Catch 22
Hammer down, when the whistle blows
Whistle blows x 4
