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.

We all have been in a dark place, sometimes it takes so long that we think that we belong there. As a matter of fact, darkness and sadness is empowering to devils not humans, so we should extract what empowers us from that darkness and bring ourselves back to light. Being in the right path takes sacrifices, you should stay strong, fight every bad spirit that crosses your way. Life is a battle between good and bad, make sure you stick by the right path.

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.

This song is about a group of punks who drink, smoke marijuana, and take other drugs and they look forward to every Friday night which is the night that they are drunk, drugged, and in the mood to fight. They listen to heavy rock music and love old bands like Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath.

I had a conversation a few days ago with a homeless person. His name was Tom. He was walking down the road, heading south. I asked him if he ever got lonely for someone to talk to. He said, “I’ve got the moon”. This one’s for Tom.
