Against the wind

Against the wind

It seems like yesterday

But it was long ago

Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights

There in the darkness with the radio playlng low

And the secrets that we shared

The mountains that we moved

Caught like a wildfire out of control

Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

 

And I remember what she said to me

How she swore that it never would end

I remember how she held me oh so tight

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

 

Against the wind

We were runnin' against the wind

We were young and strong, we were runnin'

Against the wind

 

And the years rolled slowly past

And I found myself alone

Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends

I found myself further and further from my home

And I guess I lost my way

There were oh so many roads

I was living to run and running to live

Never worried about paying or even how much I owed

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time

Breaking all of the rules that would bend

I began to find myself searchin'

Searchin' for shelter again and again

Against the wind

A little something against the wind

I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

 

Well those drifters days are past me now

I've got so much more to think about

Deadlines and commitments

What to leave in, what to leave out

 

Against the wind

I'm still runnin' against the wind

I'm older now but still running

Against the wind

Well I'm older now and still running

Against the wind

 

 

The time is early September; time to roundup and move some of the cattle around to greener pastures as we get ready for the next season.

 

It is in the spring-summer of our life, we regale our passions in the hope the memories will keep us warm in the fall-winter while we wait for the final destination. ♪♪♪ Life's worth living when we do and share our best friends.

 

 

There are those rare moments in life when happiness just exudes from every pore contagiously touching those around us...

 

We can be lucky by having a family to support and surrounds ourselves but real contentment comes when we feel the love of those we love by choice. I can't get enough

At the request of my brother and family members a series of photos I call: “Living life is a form of art”. Depicts our legacy in a visual format; captured by several of our family members. Moments of our day to day living; looked under the perspective each moment is precious like a priceless work of art! Enjoy the series friends. Have a wonderful life; don’t forget to hug your loved ones and tell ‘em how much you love ‘em! Time passes by very quickly…

The Man I Want To Be

 

 

God I'm down here on my knees

Cause it's the last place left to fall

Beggin' for another chance

If there's any chance at all

That you might still be listenin'

Lovin' and forgivin' guys like me

 

I've spent my whole life gettin' it all wrong

And I sure could use your help just from now on

I wanna be a good man

A do like I should man

I wanna be the kind of man the mirror likes to see

I wanna be a strong man

And admit that I was wrong man

God I'm askin’ you to come change me

Into the man I wanna be

 

If there's any way for her and me to make another start

Could you see what you could do

To put some love back in her heart

Cause it gonna to take a miracle

After all I've done to really make her see

 

That I wanna be a stay man

I wanna be a brave man

I wanna be the kind of man she sees in her dreams

God I wanna be your man

And I wanna be her man

God I only hope she still believes

In the man I wanna be

 

Well I know this late at night that talk is cheap

But Lord don't give up on me yeah

 

I wanna be a givin' man

I wanna really start livin' man

God I'm askin’ you to come change me

Into the man I wanna be
