“Course Corrections” is my seventeenth record and was written with the massive up and down rollercoaster we’ve been on and the best take away from the title might be advice: if you see a course correction you can make in your own life, and you can make that correction, maybe it’s a good idea.
You can buy “Course Corrections” directly from me Here.

Are you going to make up your mind
I’ve had some time to make up mine
If you’ve got some living to do without me
It’s ok
I’ll still be
Waiting on your lovely heart
Even if it’s a lonely start
Waiting on your lovely heart
I can’t cut myself loose from you
I know it’s what I got to do
If you’ve got to have me gone
It’s ok
I’ll still be
Waiting on your lovely heart
Even if it’s a lonely start
Waiting on your lovely heart
If tears could only smile
I might see their personalities
They would show themselves to me
Before they fall fast and deep
Souls of salt
They lay to rest
For here is the place they choose to die
One by one
I watch them go
I watch them go
There a mystery
Only they can explain in their short lives
In the evening is when you can see
The salt tracks left by these water lines
It’s impossible to hide
Once you’ve seen
The evidence of their short lives
Souls of salt
They lay to rest
For here is the place they choose to die
One by one
I watch them go
I watch them go
I’m here for you
When you call on me
I’ll come when its time
Tears have a hold on me
I can still feel something of myself
That could have been our last sunset
We didn’t count on the sunrise
Or the passing of time
There’s a desert
In my mind
And it’s empty
Everything before is like a mirage
Our futures are pictures in the sand
The winds will change their lines again
I’m in need
Of a course correction
Before this desert is going to kill me
Maybe I just need to hold you one more time
Our futures are pictures in the sand
The winds will change their lines again
Left myself back there somewhere
in the city of lights
will I have to return to find it again
The city of lights won’t sleep
it only dreams about what might have been
the street that leads you to her
is the only one that you want to be on
opened my eyes at 37 thousand feet in the sky
ask myself why I left her side
she’s still waiting for me
on that street
The city of lights won’t sleep
it always dreams about what might have been
and the street that leads you to her
is the only one that you want to be on
Does the street even bother to remember our names
doesn’t matter we won’t ever be the same
and the lights will stay on while we’re dreaming again
The city of lights won’t sleep
it only dreams about what might have been
the street that leads you to her
is the only one that you want to be on
Lonely
How can it be
that with all the love around you you could feel so lonely
if only
someone could make it through to you but you keep the world outside
you built that wall too high
now you’re wishing you were Somebody else or with Someone else
I know I tried
to break that wall
But I can’t
you don’t have to be lonely
on your own
you don’t have to go it alone
Stay with me don’t let the screen take your eyes away
don’t be a cell phone slave
because there’s still magic in the day
but the computers can steal it away
You got yourself too high and now you’re wishing you were Somebody else or with Someone else
Don’t keep the world outside
It will do you no good
you don’t have to be lonely
on your own
you don’t have to go it alone
don’t keep the world outside
don’t close your eyes
don’t build that wall so high
you don’t have to be lonely
on your own
you don’t have to go it alone
Don’t forget your promise to me
You said that you were going to be better this time
Starting over in a new place and with a new face by your side
I want it for you
Dreams were sold to the young and old
That ain’t you and that ain’t me
We were so young we didn’t know what we were doing with our lives
I only wanted to make you happy
We would have given everything
until the world would come crashing down
so we opened our eyes
You know how I feel about you but it just wont be enough
for you
and in time you’ll see it too
Now I know now what kind of man he needs to be
so we opened our eyes
(Don’t forget your promise to me)
float this is life on a cloud
why worry about it now
fingers open and catch nothing
I can’t hold time
do you recognize me
from another place
am I familiar to you
let’s dance on this cloud
together for awhile
I’m getting back on my feet again
I’m coming back to the world
I see a light I never saw before
It was always on
And this light my eyes were closed to
Blinds me now they way it used to do
One time when I was a child
I’ve been down so many roads
It’s hard for me to feel who I used to be
The past is a tapestry
Pulling it apart won’t set you free
The past is a tapestry
I’m opening my eyes again
Everything fits together now
I knew it one time
When life was simple
How do we forget
Finding things I didn’t know were lost
like the meaning in your eyes
I won’t forget again
I’ve been down so many roads
It’s hard for me to feel who I used to be
The past is a tapestry
Pulling it apart won’t set you free
The past is a tapestry
