about

Music is our passion, though our families are our lives. The two pull and stretch but always mend.

lyrics

It’s a bittersweet curse
One that won’t go away
An itch you can’t scratch
When you’re home for a day

Out there on the road
Confined yet free
They want you back home
But they’ll never see
Just what it takes
And how much it means
When you pour out your heart
And you’re down on your knees

It’s a bittersweet curse
One that won’t go away
It’ll tear out your soul
If you don’t let it play

The freedom in life
Isn’t given to those
Who sit home alone
In their baggy clothes
It belongs to the warrior
The one that pushes on
When told not to go
just to give them a song

Nothing feels better
Than going back home
But sometimes
You just can’t leave it alone
You’ve got a soul that must be heard
You’ve got to play out every single word
Till you die
You’re stricken with this
Curse

I walk a straight line
My feet are happy to cross
I feed a main line
To my soul when I am lost
What will I write of
When I am old and alone
My heart has stayed true
Yet now I live through a phone
