So I finally have something that I think sounds good enough to share without embarrassing myself . . . I hope you enjoy it.

Decide To Stay - Soundcloud

I sang and played one acoustic guitar track and BiaB covered the rest for me.

The vocal track and my acoustic track were recorded at "The Bunker" in Tempe, AZ mixed and mastered by Ralph Patlan (look him up - He is amazing) I tried mixing myself in Sonar but apparently I suck at it . . .

LYRICS
There’s only two things in life I want to do
Sing my songs and be in love with you
I got nothin’ else cuz the day jobs they don’t pay
Make enough for new strings and food for another day

I get up early workin’ before it’s light
I play my grandad’s guitar late into the night
So tired I can’t sleep when the day is through
That’s when I write the songs about my love for you

And I pray that you’ll be free
Someday to bring your love to me
I’m gonna play the blues today
And wait ‘til you decide to stay

I’d rather be lonely then try and find someone else
Even though I can’t sleep when I’m sleepin’ by myself
I ain’t never been like this or stayed alone so long
I’ll just wait and listen ‘til you’re finished with that ol’ song

And I pray that you’ll be free
Someday to bring your love to me
I’m gonna play the blues today
And wait ‘til you decide to stay

GUITAR Break

There’s only two things I really need to do
That’s makin’ music and makin love to you
So I’ll keep playin’ my sad songs all alone
And I’ll keep hopin’ that you’re comin’ home
Won’t you please come home

Don't ever try and be like anybody else and don't be afraid to take risks. -Waylon Jennings
