I’ve been writing songs my whole life.
I hope you enjoy this sampling of my work.

Steady As She Goes
Heading west, she’s driving through the empty land alone
Left behind — the only home that she has every known
Where she’s going she don’t know
Only knows she has to go
Stops for gas and wonders ‘bout the road that lies ahead
All she knows, it won’t be like the sheltered life she’s led
She’s a little unprepared
More than just a little scared
But she’s steady as she goes
Leaving and she’s steady as she goes
A little money and some clothes
And she’s steady as she goes
Yeah, she’s steady as she goes
Breaking up with the boy she’d known forever—that was rough
But for her good enough just wasn’t good enough
When there’s nothing left to say
There’s no reason left to stay
So she’s steady as she goes
She’s leaving and she’s steady as she goes
She’ll take the river as it flows
Steady as she goes
Sometimes you break your own heart
Pick up the pieces and you start again
That’s the only way she knows
Steady as she goes
Yeah, she’s steady as she goes
She calls her folks, says she’s all right
Then she drives on through the night
Steady as she goes
Yeah she’s steady as she goes
It’s the only way she knows
Steady as she goes
Yeah, she's steady as she goes
