There's No One But You

2/11/2024

[Verse]
Another day in the big old world.
Another day and a dime.
I gotta say, while I’m working away,
that I feel like I’m wasting my time.

[Verse]
But then I know what I’m working for.
I know that I’m working for you.
And so I’ll say, while I’m working away,
I got something to look forward to.

[Chorus]
You lift me up
when I’m feeling blue.
You make me smile
like no one else can do.
You make me try
to live a life that’s true.
Darling that’s why
there’s no one but you.

[Verse]
Another day of up before dawn.
Another day of scraping by.
I kinda feel like the world ain’t real,
like I should sit right down and cry.

[Verse]
But then I know that I’m living the dream,
got the whole world in my hand.
’Cause I got a dream of a girl,
and ’cause baby, I’m your man.

[Chorus]
You lift me up
when I’m feeling blue.
You make me smile
like no one else can do.
You make me try
to live a life that’s true.
Darling that’s why
there’s no one but you.

[Bridge]
You are the one whose soul I see,
setting the fire to make a better me.
As our spirits soar to the heavens above,
yours is the smile, yours is the heart I love.

[Chorus]
You lift me up
when I’m feeling blue.
You make me smile
like no one else can do.
You make me try
to live a life that’s true.
Darling that’s why
there’s no one but you.

[Outro]
Darling that’s why
there’s no one but you.

The One Who Feeds My Soul

In the depths of my mind, I come to find
that there is one who feeds my soul.
Whether far or near, she is always here,
and she's the one who makes me whole.

In a thousand dreams, it always seems
that her beauty speeds my way
past valleys and peaks as my spirit seeks
to create in each new day.

Whenever I feel like I’ve lost control,
and life is taking its toll,
I look to her ’cause after all,
she’s the one who feeds my soul.

With this passion and drive, I live, I thrive!
And all because she is there.
For her touch and her love, I rise above,
seek to better myself in her care.

She is ever my queen, she is kind and serene,
and a vision of heavenly ways.
For eternity's years, through both laughter and tears,
I am hers to the end of days.

Whenever I feel like I’ve lost control,
and life is taking its toll,
I look to her ’cause after all,
she’s the one who feeds my soul.

Yeah she’s the one who feeds my soul.

I Love Her More and More

[Verse]
Sittin’ alone in a dry air motel,
feelin’ a bit like I’m in some kind of hell.
Thinkin’ of home and the sweet thing waiting for me.
The two of us, the way life ought to be.

[Chorus]
So many years now behind us.
So many more still in store.
Every day the most important thing
is I love her more and more.

[Verse]
Workin’ away to leave my mark on the world,
thinkin’ the whole time of my girl.
Grateful as always she sees something in me.
The two of us, the way life ought to be.

[Chorus]
So many years now behind us.
So many more still in store.
Every day the most important thing
is I love her more and more.

[Bridge]
From the little things to all the big,
from raisin’ hell to raisin’ kids,
from the cold at night to the heat of day,
she gives me life and shows the way.

[Chorus]
So many years now behind us.
So many more still in store.
Every day the most important thing
is I love her more and more.

[Outro]
The most important thing
is I love her more and more.

Let That Boy Become a Man

This is a country song I wrote about everything that goes into growing up and becoming a strong and healthy man. It's dedicated to my two sons, and really to all the young men in this world whose strength will one day be needed (alongside strong and healthy women) to keep us moving in the right direction.

I hope this encourages parents and guardians in letting them grow up strong as well, protecting them but giving them the space and responsibilities needed to learn and improve.

[Intro]
Way on back when I was a boy
The kids were left to play.
Countless hours in the winter snow,
And endless summer days.
Arguments and laughter,
Mistakes you had to pay.
Learning 'bout what life was.
This was the way.

[Verse]
Fisher-Price and playing nice
And Matchbox cars to boot.
Building homes with Lincoln logs
And Legos underfoot.

Playing under streetlights
Till we were whistled in.
Shaking hands with the other team
No matter who would win.

[Chorus]
These are the things that make a boy
Into who he’s going to be.
Smiles and tears and facing fears,
Home runs and scrapes on knees.

Loving, hugging, hurting.
Learning everything he can.
Getting outdoors and doing chores.
Let that boy become a man.

[Verse]
Paper routes and mowing grass
And trading baseball cards.
Playing catch with footballs
And freeze tag in the yard.

Dr. Seuss and Judy Blume
And baseball games at night.
Playing up in tree forts,
And getting into fights.

[Chorus]
These are the things that make a boy
Into who he’s going to be.
Smiles and tears and facing fears,
Home runs and scrapes on knees.

Loving, hugging, hurting.
Learning everything he can.
Getting outdoors and doing chores.
Let that boy become a man.

[Verse]
Campfires out on beaches
Sparklers burning bright
Cardboard forts and summer shorts
And crickets through the night.

Sledding, skating, swimming,
Stomping puddles in the rain.
Racing sticks down running streams
Stubbing toes and feeling pain.

[Verse]
Green Machines and ice cream.
Saturday cartoons.
Sunday morning church with friends.
Staring at the moon.

Raking leaves and jumping in.
Cops and robbers on our bikes.
Candy stores and RC cars.
Camping, fishing, hikes.

[Chorus]
These are the things that make a boy
Into who he’s going to be.
Smiles and tears and facing fears,
Home runs and scrapes on knees.

Loving, hugging, hurting.
Learning everything he can.
Getting outdoors and doing chores.
Let that boy become a man.

[Outro]
Loving, hugging, hurting.
Learning everything he can.
Getting outdoors and doing chores.
Let that boy become a man.
