Do you like a good Western? If so, you are going to love these lyrics. Written in the form of a ballad you will be transported back to the wild, wild west. You will ride the western plains on horseback. Drink your fill of whiskey at a cowboy's tavern. And yes, witness a gun fight. Just a few of the things you will be exposed too. Enjoy!

Life is a struggle. Everyone at some time or another has met with their fair share of problems. Whether it is divorce, financial debt or just having to deal with our kids and our health, we can always count on life throwing us a curveball. These lyrics express just that through humor. Because it is my belief that humor helps us cope.

Most believe that God does exist. And I agree. I think he is omnipresent in humanity's daily existence. Available and active. I believe is takes pleasure in the things that make us happy. One of those things is music. These lyrics are reflections of my beliefs that I hope others share. The roots of country music stem from gospel. So, I do believe that God does listen to country music.

This song sings of a situation all of us have either heard, read about or experienced ourselves. The death of a parental figure can be devasting to a young child. And as adults we struggle to offer an explanation to those children, words of comfort and peace. This song may help those adults who are looking for the right thing to say to when a child loses a parent.
