Looking Back 04:02
Verse 1 Every time I start moving on I think of where it all went wrong And I cant help but see your face in my mind Those eyes of yours that would turn head their way That smile would brighten up my whole day And I can't help but wondering where you're at Pre chorus Remember the time Back when you were mine Chorus Looking back, looking back You'd look me in the eyes The world stood still and there was no time Looking Back Verse 2 That first kiss that made my body shake I never found someone who made me feel that way How am I supposed to move on You ruined the touch of any other man It even feels funny when they're holding my hand You don't even know what you've done to me Pre chorus Chorus Bridge Well I'd give anything to be back inside those arms Holding me so tight back when you were mine Looking back ohhhhhhh

Be With You 04:13
Well I've been meaning to stop and talk to you Let yo in on what it is I'm going through Seems to me though that you are always there Always around me everywhere that I go Chorus And I see that you're holding me You're grip is tight and you wont let me go no you wont let me go And I feel like I slipped away From your grasp but I know that can't be true Cause I will always be with you yea Laddadaladada I let my doubt come in and take control Leaving me downcast and all alone Taking on the world like it's mine to take But pursuing that is just a big mistake yea just a big mistake Chorus

Can’t no one bring me down I’ve got my head in the clouds but my feet on the ground You say you couldn’t live life my way But I’m happier now then most people can say Ohh oh ohhh ohhh ohhhhh I’m happier now livin life my way Time on earth’s precious like a stone You work real hard towards the unknown You never know which day will be your last So don’t wish it away cause time goes to fast Ohhh ohhh ohhhh ohhhh You never know which day will be your last I get scared when life seems too much But I move on and I get back up I’ll give it all till I’m old and grey Till my bones get tired and I’ve got nothing to say I’ve moved away when I was 24 With my guitar in hand and not much more I worked dead end jobs till I was 33 And that’s when it finally dawned on me Ohhh ohhh ohh oh oh oh I worked dead end jobs till I was 33 I knew I had something more to say Then “hello Sir How can I help you today” So I hopped a train towards the eastern skies Through the valleys and the mountain side Ohhhh ohh ohh oh oh oh I hopped a train towards the eastern sky I found myself back in my home town And as I stepped outside the rain was pouring down I don’t know where I’m gonna go from here But the feeling’s good and the path is clear. Ohhh ohhh ohh oh oh The feeling's good and the path is clear

Over and over I look at my life as I see my reflection I see that my eyes are tired and I’m starting to fade I know that I’m here but I feel like a sketch of an old finger painting that’s been left at a busy bus stop and nobody knows I’m here Will you find me and take me up into your arms and give me something more then this painted heart and give a reason to walk right out from this page Chorus But I wanna see the sky so blue I wanna take on something new Oh erase what I have pull me a part and give me something more then this painted heart Love takes a while and I’ve given it time and now all I can do is just kindly decline And send them on their way Maybe I’m wrong but it helps with the pain of another one leaving my heart in a strain Oh these walls that I have are securely in place Chorus Take all the lines and define all the parts of a brush that is taking my life through its art and all I can do is just wait till it’s finally done You see we are the art in our life is the hands, as we walk through the pages it unravels the path that we are going and no one can make that change. Chorus and some OOOhhhss

Let Me Know 03:57
Where do you go for comfort? When you've had a stressful day Do you unload on a stranger? Or do you drink your cares away? How do you keep on going? When you feel all hope is gone Do you give up on yourself? Because the journey seems to long I've seen some win the battle I've seen some who have lost They think that it's not worth And fight with all they got Others find that crying can lighten up their load So if you need a crying shoulder Just call and let me know Let me know let me know

Let It Go 04:23
You’re not getting any younger that’s what they always say Go out and find yourself someone and give your heart away Don’t think too much about it just take a chance on love And maybe someone will surprise you and be just what you’ve been dreaming of. Maybe I have hid my heart away. I have kept it close Cause all the other ones that held it tight turned around and let it go It is hard to let your guard down when love seems so out of reach So if I give it to you one day will you keep it in one piece? Chorus Oh I I I I I wanna let it go Yea I I I I I wanna let it go I have thought about forever but I’m living in the now So if you wanna be in my life you just need to be around To hold my hand and tell me today you will be mine And tomorrow we can figure out all the rest of it in time Chorus Oh I I I I I wanna let it go Yea I I I I I wanna let it go It is hard to let your guard down when love seems so out of reach So if I give it to you one day will you keep it in one piece? if I give it to you one day will you keep it in one piece? Bridge I can’t remember the last time that I tried to let go of these memories that haunt me deep inside But I have this feeling if I open up my heart I can trust you with the pieces I can trust you with the pieces And all the broken parts Chorus

She puts her housecoat on as she starts a brand new day And gives thanks to Lord above for the sun on her face Cause its cold outside and the winter there's been long But that big yellow ball in the sky's got her singing her song She's got three grown children and a husband there at home They retired in the country and they love being on their own They sit out on the porch in the summer nights and talk Its been 42 year and when they hold hands they still feel that spark Chorus And love has gotten them this far And love will take em on home And they have every thing they could need Right there in each others arms A love that's rooted deep In my mama and daddies country heart It was 1969 when their eyes first met They were 16 years of age when their hearts were set On a life long love that would have its shares of trials But at the end of the day they would go to bed with a smile Chorus Bridge And life goes by so fast So hold on to something that will last It might not be easy It might be hard But with out love we'd be torn apart That's why I'm grateful for my mama and daddies country heart

Another late night I'm on the bus heading home To an empty apartment Another night all alone I think about the times you filled the space in my heart Now I'm thinking of you all alone dark Some times I am happy being on stage Singing songs about love and watching life turn its page I've kept my distance from things of the heart But what I wouldn't give to go back to the start Chorus And I'd trade it in for that Sunday morning paper You'll read to me while I'm doing my hair And when we are 80 and the only way to stand and not fall Is your hand in mine together till do us part I remember the time we took a walk in the fall All the leaves were changing and the trees were so tall I couldn't imagine a day without you I had hope for the future a love so brand new Four years later and some time on the road you couldn't handle me gone you felt like you were alone You said that you loved me but you couldn't stay You said I needed to choose by the end of the day Chorus Years have gone by and I still think of that night I wonder how things would be had I not said good bye I've written some songs with you on my mind I hope you found love Wish it was be by your side Bridge And I wanna go back in time Trade it all in for your hand in mine And the things you would say if I hadn't walked away That night when I said good bye Chorus
9.
You and me Ain't it funny How after all these years you'd come back to me I never guessed that you'd be standing In the middle of my living room with this feeling in my chest Pre chours I don't know what your bout to say But I just need to know So say the words that you came here to say to me tonight Say the words and I'll come running I'll come running back oh back to you Take your time, After all that we've been through It's our night tonight I feel your heart and I know the past is past I wanna move on to the next chapter and make this one last Pre chorus Chorus You know I've always loved you and you know I always will So take my hand and be my man you know I'll understand Chorus
10.
I wanna hit the open highway and take a fighting chance Leave this all behind me and not take a second glance At all the things that haunt me and the things deep in my past I wanna head out to the country and live my life at last Chorus I wanna head out to the country I wanna breathe in country air I wanna live in blue jeans and T Shirts I wanna see what it would be like out there You see I'm living in the city And it's been too much for me So wont you take me to the country And we'll live a life so free The winters here are cloudy Oh and the rain is getting old, I wanna see snow flakes all around me I wanna feel the winters cold And I wanna see the seasons changing And I wanna feel that crisp cold air Be it Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall I just wanna get me there Chorus Wouldn't it be nice to take a long drive Oh look at the open sky Repeat Take me to the country Repeat Chorus

about

Can't No One Bring Me Down is the title of the album because no matter what obstacles stand in my way I'm gonna keep pressing on no matter what. I'm doing what I love and that makes me happy. That's all I can ask for right now.

This album is about life, my journey, past love and longing for love but having walls that are hard to tear down. It's touches on topics like mental health. People battle with things in their heads and some people win and some don't. It's a hard truth but we need to talk about it openly.

I have a mix of country, folk and pop on this album. I find it hard to stick to one genre as I love them all. I hope that there's something for everyone on this album. :)
