Hi, all:

Here’s a collaboration with John Vaughan, who wrote the lyrics. Perhaps a little out of my genre, but fun nonetheless donning some Johnny Cash blacks. Hope you enjoy the listen!

Regards,

Deej

Here’s the song:

MY DOOR IS OPEN

Here are the lyrics:

My door is open
if you're passing by, stop in.
It’s not a palace but
a warm welcome waits within
There's a bench outside
we can sit for a spell.
A bottomless coffee pot
for the tales we got to tell.

My door is open—
it’s been for a long long time.
Not a day passes here
when you're not on my mind.
The well in the garden
is full of nickels and dimes.
I make a wish each day
that you'll come my way
and spare me your sweet time.

The puppy’s full grown;
he’s a rascal for sure.
But he's great company—
he keeps one eye on the door. 
You oughta visit,
come by not just for me.
I’m sure he's not forgotten you—
why not drop by and see? 
                 
My door is open,
our chairs are by the stove.
For some folk it’s always shut,
for you it’s never closed.
The kitchen is so cozy,
we can sit for a spell.
I’ve got a bottle of whiskey—
Oh, the stories we could tell.

The puppy’s full grown;
he’s a rascal for sure.
But he's great company—
he keeps one eye on the door. 
You oughta visit,
come by not just for me.
I’m sure he's not forgotten you—
why not drop by and see?

My door is open--
it’s been for a long long time.
Not a day passes here
when you're not on my mind.
The well in the garden
is full of nickels and dimes.
I make a wish each day
that you'll come my way
and spare me your sweet time.
