I Do 02:54
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Am7 I bow my head on a Sunday Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Am7 And pray to God, “What’s your plan? Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Am7 Why I’m stuck on this one thing Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Am7 It’s a truth I don’t understand Why I think ‘bout tomorrow And not just live for today Cause I don’t want love to borrow Here and now, I just want it to stay Dm Am7 Cause I’ve been thinking bout the time Fmaj7 Cmaj7 When I look into those eyes Dm Am7 It’s my vision in the night Fmaj7 Cmaj7 It’s a dream come true Dm Am7 I put your hair behind your ear Fmaj7 Cmaj7 And I wipe away the tear Dm Am7 Babe you look so good in white Fmaj7 Cmaj7 You’re a dream come true Dm Am7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 And I’ve been dreaming bout the time to say, “I do” Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Am To say, “I do” Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Am To have a kiss last forever And every day hold your hand A dream of mine since I met you Is to be your number one fan Love as deep as the ocean Love as high as the sky Let’s put this love train in motion And make the goodbyes become goodnights by design Cause I’ve been thinking bout the time When I look into those eyes It’s my vision in the night It’s a dream come true I put your hair behind your ear And I wipe away the tear Babe you look so good in white You’re a dream come true And I’ve been dreaming bout the time to say, “I do” Fmaj7 G#7 To say, “I do” X2 (Key Change) Fm Cm7 Cause I’ve been thinking bout the time Eb G#7 When I look into those eyes Fm Cm7 It’s my vision in the night Eb G#7 It’s a dream come true Fm Cm7 I put your hair behind your ear Eb G#7 And I wipe away the tear Fm Cm7 Babe you look so good in white Eb G#7 You’re a dream come true Fm Cm7 And I’ve been dreaming bout the time to say, “I do” Eb G#7 And I’ve been dreaming bout the time to say, “I do”

The Runaways 02:52
Intro: E G6 A E May I have this dance, may I have the night Her daddy told me better have her home by 9 G6 A E So we shook hands, locked eyes, and made a compromise E I grabbed her hand and she grabbed mine And we started walking ‘to the promise of the night G6 A E Then her daddy realized, that I lied B So I looked at her and said, “Are you ready for what’s ahead?” E To the streets we go, leave it all behind Don’t worry ‘bout the money or the car we drive G6 A E Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride E To the streets we go, I got a lot to say Don’t worry ‘bout nobody it’s just you and me G6 A E If the wheels keep turning they’ll call us The Runaways (Intro chords) The Runaways X2 Five days in and we had it made People kept calling us The Runaways But what they don’t see I see are the marks your daddy gave I heard a knock three times on our motel door Daddy came looking more mad than before And with one glance I knew that my right hand would be very sore So I looked at him and said, “Are you ready for what’s ahead?” E To the streets we go, there’s nowhere left to hide G6 Tomorrow you’ll be wearing black and white stripes Aadd9 E So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride E To the streets you go, there’s nothing up ahead G6 Don’t worry ‘bout your daughter ‘cause we’ll be wed Aadd9 E I’ll be the man she never knew as we drive into the sunset So I looked at her and said, “Are you ready for what’s ahead?” (2nd Chorus Chords) To the streets we go, leave it all behind Don’t worry ‘bout the money or the car we drive Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride To the streets we go, I got a lot to say Don’t worry ‘bout nobody it’s just you and me If the wheels keep turning they’ll call us The Runaways The Runaways X2

Intro: B E B E B E B G#m F# E Have you ever had somebody that you can’t have The type of hand you wanna hold but you can’t grab G#m I’ve been searchin’ for somebody but my mama always taught me F# Pray for her and God will make things right E So before I go to bed I hold my hands tight And pray to God that she’s not lonely that she’s alright G#m Oh and if she ever wonders if someone will ever love her F# I will love her till the end of time E Can’t promise much this world ain’t much and love is all I have B E I can’t get her off my mind B E I think about her all the time B E I, I need her in my life G#m F# ‘Cause I can’t live without her E She always has me at hello B E She oh she had me long ago B E She takes me high she takes me low G#m F# And I can’t live without her (Same chords as verse 1) She defines the word beauty like a sunset A photo taken of her captures God’s creation But the beauty of her heart has been her beauty from the start I can hear it in the way she talks Don’t get me started how I feel when we’re together When I have her in my life my life is better Like a sunset in the morning, pick me up but I’m still falling For her every day and every night Can’t promise much this world ain’t much and love is all I have I can’t get her off my mind I think about her all the time I, I need her in my life ‘Cause I can’t live without her She always has me at hello She oh she had me long ago She takes me high she takes me low And I can’t live without her C#m G#m F# E Yeahhhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhh C#m G#m Let be what’s supposed to be F# Let me make something wonderful E Let me make something beautiful C#m G#m Let me be what I’m supposed to be F# The one that you wanna see E In dreams and reality F# E F# E F# E Ohhh ohhhh ohhh I can’t get her off my mind I think about her all the time I, I need her in my life ‘Cause I can’t live without her She always has me at hello She oh she had me long ago She takes me high she takes me low And I can’t live without her And I can’t live without her No I can’t live without her

I Won't Cry 03:35
Bm D Rain’s falling from the blue skies Aadd4 D G Like tears from my blue eyes D G It’s pain in disguise Bm D Water’s filling up everywhere Aadd4 D G It’s hard for me the breathe in the night D G When I’m drowning in your lies What I thought to be beauty What I thought to be beauty has been redefined Has been redefined I thought you were beauty I thought you were beauty my heart redesigned My heart redesigned Bm G F#m D I won’t cry, I won’t cry Aadd4 I won’t cry for you G Aadd4 No I won’t cry for you Nothin’ like bein’ a fool Tearin’ down my walls to be with you Did you love me too You’re no good for me anyways It breaks my heart to think that way But I think that way I won’t cry, I won’t cry I won’t cry for you No I won’t cry for you I won’t cry, I won’t cry I won’t cry for you No I won’t cry for you

about

While figuring out my journey as a songwriter, I had a conversation with my mom about the reason why I write. I told her that I believed my ability to write is a gift given from God, so that His love for His people could be on display through melody and lyric. My dream is to be the type of writer who helps others understand their worth in the eyes of the Father. The world has put misconstrued filters on what "true love" looks like, and by partnering with the Holy Spirit, I plan to clear that up.

These four songs have been written over the past three months and they each have their own unique style. A good friend of mine once told me that music could not be put in a box. Meaning, we label artists and their works based on what we think we hear and what we have heard before. By accepting these labels as our identity, we do an injustice to our God as our Creator because we stay within the boundaries man has made and do not venture into a world unknown (the world of creativity). I don't want my music to sound the same. I want each song to have it's own identity, singing the story it was designed to sing.

This EP is all over the place! It's happy, it's sad, it goes on crazy adventures, it's revelatory, and very cheesy. But most importantly... it's honest. I hope what you hear connects to your heart the way it does to mine. This music is a part of me, so please treat it with care!

The beauty of this website is that you can listen to the music for free! Woo!! If you'd like to download the music so you have it on the go, feel free to do so, but that might cost you a bit. :) Surely you can find some quarters in your couch or stacked up in the cupholder in your car! The money that is made from this project will fund my mission trip to Israel in the spring of 2017. I believe that this EP will make more than enough money to provide for myself, so I will take any residual money and donate it into the trip so that others may have the funds necessary to go. The EP is at least $4, but you are allowed to pay whatever price that you believe the music is worth to you.

I want to ask you to prayerfully consider partnering with me in two missions: my mission trip to Israel next year, and my mission to impact the world through music. I am so very grateful for those who will donate. Your support means everything to me and I promise that we are going to bring the Love of God to those who have never felt it before.

Thanks for believing in me. Love you all.


p.s. there are more songs that will be coming very soon!

A special thanks to my parents for always giving me heart checks when I need them the most. They are the epitome of the Father's love and I am the man I am today because of them.

Also a special thanks to my Texans who made the recordings possible. Love you boys!
