The Quillow Man

Lyrics

I was born and raised on a family farm,
Life was simple, but it had its charm.
Went to college, found a lady so fine,
Thought raising kids would be our lifeline.
In the rural country, not much to do,
My wife had a spark, she had a vision too.
She made a quilt that folded into a pillow,
Called it a Quillow; man, what a thrill though!

They called me the Quillow Man, oh yeah, he's the Quillow Man,
Stacking up the fabric, yeah, you know I had a plan.
Bought it from the best, VIP and Fabri Quilt,
Pillow panels for dreams, never felt that guilt.
Yeah, I was the Quillow man, flying from town to town,
Had no sewing skills, but I wore my crown.

Next thing you know, this farm boy's dreams unfurled,
Trading feedin' cows for a runway world.
Fashion shows in LA, couldn’t believe my eyes,
Pretty girls in fancy clothes, oh, what a surprise!
All I could say was, 'Wowzers! Holy Toledo!'
They don't make 'em like this back home, you know.
Holy cow! Man, oh man! See those legs,
That fancy hair, I'm just counting my dregs.

They called me the Quillow Man, oh yeah, he's the Quillow Man,
Turning dreams into stardust, you know I can.
From fabric swatches to a life so grand,
With each stitch, I built my own brand.
Yeah, I was the Quillow man, dodging every doubt,
With my head held high, man, I figured it out.

Now the city lights shine like stars above,
But nothing beats the fields, or the one I love.
Miss the dirt roads and the smell of the hay,
But the Quillow life's got me hustling each day.
From small-town dreams to a life on display,
I’m the Quillow Man, paving my own way.

So here's to the farmers, the dreamers, the grind,
Chasing our passions, leaving doubts behind.
With each quillow stitch, I'm crafting my fate,
And if you have a dream, man, don’t hesitate.
You might be surprised at where it could lead,
From a farm in the sticks to the top of the feed.

So when you see me rollin', know I’m living free,
Quillow in my bag, just you wait and see,
Country boy with grit, got my dreams in my hand,
I’m the Quillow Man, living wild and grand.


I Got The Good Kind of Blues

Lyrics

Woke up this morning with the daylight grinnin’,
Coffee tasted like a promise kept.
Shoes by the door said, “Go on, live it”,
Every worry overslept.
My shadow waved like an old-time friend,
Said, “Man, you’re rich and you don’t even know.”
I got air in my lungs and a road that bends,
And a heart that won’t say no.

I got the good kind of blues, yeah the sweet-spot kind,
The kind that claps when the band hits time.
Good Kind of Blues, no losin’ my shoes,
I’m losin’ myself in the good kind of blues.
I’ve got the good kind of blues, I just laugh and choose,
The kind of joy you can’t refuse.
Good Kind of Blues, stitched into my shoes,
Yeah, I got the good kind of blues.

Bills still talk but I don’t listen,
They hum while I whistle back.
Every scar’s just proof I’ve been livin’,
Every wrong turn taught me track.
Found my smile in a pawnshop mirror,
Reflections I learned to embrace.
Every tear’s a memory that drew me nearer,
To the love that I can’t replace.

I got the good kind of blues, yeah the sweet-spot kind,
The kind that claps when the band hits time.
Good Kind of Blues, no losin’ my shoes,
I’m losin’ myself in the good kind of blues.
I’ve got the good kind of blues, I just laugh and choose,
The kind of joy you can’t refuse.
Good Kind of Blues, stitched into my shoes,
Yeah, I got the good kind of blues.

So crank up that guitar, let’s make some noise,
With the rhythm of life, we’ll dance in the joys.
We’ll shout out loud, let the world hear our tune,
Rolling in harmony, beneath the bright moon.

When the storm clouds gather and the sky gets grey,
I’ll pour out my heart in a soulful sway.
With every note playing, my spirit lifts free,
In this country blues life, I finally see.

I got the good kind of blues, yeah the sweet-spot kind,
The kind that claps when the band hits time.
Good Kind of Blues, no losin’ my shoes,
I’m losin’ myself in the good kind of blues.
I’ve got the good kind of blues, I just laugh and choose,
The kind of joy you can’t refuse.
Good Kind of Blues, stitched into my shoes,

Yeah, I got the good kind of blues.
So raise your glass; let’s toast to today,
With the good kind of blues, we’ll find our way.
Life’s a wild ride but oh, what a show,
With the good kind of blues, just let it flow.


Island Blues Feels So Good

Lyrics

I came down with a heavy heart, had the long road on my mind,
Gray skies follow me everywhere, trouble always right behind.
Then the sun hit my face in Jamaica, felt my worries start to slide,
Palm trees whisperin’ secrets, sayin’ “Man, just let it ride.”

Got them Island Blues feel so good, they don’t weigh me down,
Ocean breeze keep time with me, like a slow blues sound.
Friendly faces everywhere, warm smiles when I roam,
Yeah, these Island Blues feel so good, Jamaica feel like home.
I really love the Island Blues… Island Blues.

People here don’t rush the clock, they let the moment breathe,
Shake your hand like they mean it, say “Respect,” and they believe.
Laughter driftin’ through the air, like a tune I always knew,
Even my blues start dancin’ when the sky turns that deep blue.

Got them Island Blues feel so good, they don’t weigh me down,
Ocean breeze keep time with me, like a slow blues sound.
Friendly faces everywhere, warm smiles when I roam,
Yeah, these Island Blues feel so good, Jamaica feel like home.
I really love the Island Blues… Island Blues.

Every sunrise paints my spirit anew,
With each wave crashin' down, it feels like it's true.
It’s the rhythm in my soul, it’s the song in my heart,
Island blues healin’ wounds, givin’ me a brand new start.

Sunset paints the horizon, in colors bold and bright,
Music of the island plays, fills up the starry night.
Friends gather ‘round the fire, share stories of their lives,
With each laugh, we lift each other, feel that joy arise.

Got them Island Blues feel so good, they don’t weigh me down,
Ocean breeze keep time with me, like a slow blues sound.
Friendly faces everywhere, warm smiles when I roam,
Yeah, these Island Blues feel so good, Jamaica feel like home.
I really love the Island Blues… Island Blues.

So here’s to the rhythm that carries me on,
With a heart that’s been mended, I’ll sing this song.
For every lost soul seeking peace in the night,
Just follow the island blues, and you’ll find your light.


Angels in the Saucer Light

Lyrics

I was sittin’ on my porch ‘bout a quarter past two,
Moon hangin’ low, sky split open blue.
Saw a silver shadow slide across the night,
Had me wonderin’, Lord, what’s wrong and what’s right.

Some folks say angels got wings of pure gold,
Some say aliens ridin’ ships cold as stone.
But when that light hit my weary eyes,
I swear heaven and space shook hands in the sky.

Preacher say pray, scientist say wait,
Bluesman just feel what he can’t explain.
If angels hum hymns and UFOs glide,
Why can’t they both be on the same ride?

Some folks say angels watch over me,
Some say strangers from another galaxy.
But when that night wind whispered my name,
Sounded like mercy, sounded like flame.

Grandma said, “Child, don’t fear the unknown,
God made more rooms than you ever been shown.”
If there’s life out there beyond this dust,
Then angels and aliens both come with trust.

Some folks say angels got eyes that can see,
Some say they’re just tales for you and me.
But when that light danced like fireflies,
I felt a connection, no more goodbyes.

So I’m gonna keep lovin’, I’m gonna keep prayin’,
For the mysteries out there and the songs they’re sayin’.
Whether in the heavens or riding the stars,
Angels in the saucer light ain’t too far.

I’ll be sittin’ on my porch, guitar in hand,
Waiting for the night and the sacred band.
With a heart wide open, let it take flight,
To the rhythm and blues of the saucer light.


Wedding Crashers

Lyrics

We were sittin’ on a park bench, talkin’ ‘bout beans in a can,
When we saw a sign say “Open Bar”, we had a brand new plan.
Borrowed socks from Goodwill, shoes don’t match at all,
Found a tux in a dumpster behind a Vegas mall.

I said, “Buddy, stand up straight, don’t scratch and don’t you burp,”
He said, “Man, if there’s shrimp cocktail, I don’t care how I look.”

We’re two bums in a tux, crashing weddings for the champagne,
Eat the cake, hug the bride, then we’re gone like rain.
Let's crash the wedding, then grab the silverware,
We don’t know who’s gettin’ married, but we really care.

He’s wearin’ a tie like a belt, I’m wearin’ a belt like a tie,
I told the groom “Congrats, man,” he asked me, “How do you know the bride?”
I said, “Oh… uh… college,” then tripped into the DJ booth,
Now the Chicken Dance is playin’ and Grandma’s cuttin’ loose.

We’re two bums in a tux, crashing weddings for the champagne,
Eat the cake, hug the bride, then we’re gone like rain.
Let's crash the wedding, then grab the silverware,
We don’t know who’s gettin’ married, but we really care.

The dance floor’s alive, and we’re feelin’ so fly,
With a drink in my hand and a wink in my eye.
Laughter and love are the air that we breathe,
Just two wedding crashers, we’re hard to believe.

Now the uncle’s doing the worm, and the kids cheer him on,
With a toast to the couple, we’re just singin’ along.
Life’s a grand old party, and we’re wearin’ our smiles,
With a slice of two cakes, we’ll stay for a while.

We’re two bums in a tux, crashing weddings for the champagne,
Eat the cake, hug the bride, then we’re gone like rain.
Let's crash the wedding, then grab the silverware,
We don’t know who’s gettin’ married, but we really care.

So let’s toast to love, and to good times we find,
These wedding crashers are the lucky kind.
We may not have an invite, but we dance with flair,
Just two souls on a journey, we don’t have a care.


Wizards

Lyrics

Met a wizard down by the crossroads,
Moon hangin’ low like a rusted spoon.
One minute he a gray old raven,
Next minute he a man hummin’ midnight tunes.

Got them shape-shiftin’ blues, yeah,
Skin don’t stay the same.
Some folks change their feathers,
Some folks change their name.

Saw a woman in the firelight,
Eyes like polished jade.
She smiled and turned to silver fox,
Lord, that kind of magic make a preacher afraid.

Got them shape-shiftin’ blues, yeah,
Skin don’t stay the same.
Some folks change their feathers,
Some folks change their name.

Dancing shadows under the old oak tree,
Whispers in the wind tellin’ tales of lore.
A spell is cast, and the night’s alive,
With every beat, my heart begins to soar.
In a world where the ordinary turns divine,
Embrace the unknown, let your spirit thrive.
Wizards and wonders, where dreams align,
Feel the rhythm, let the magic come alive.

Got them shape-shiftin’ blues, yeah,
Skin don’t stay the same.
Some folks change their feathers,
Some folks change their name.

Now I’m riding this old highway,
Chasing stars, feeling the spark.
With every turn, find the light inside,
It’s a soulful journey, igniting the dark.

So meet me down where the wild winds blow,
We’ll sing our song 'neath a luminous glow.
With wizards and dreams dancing through the night,
Together we’ll chase that sweet guiding light.


Growing Old Gracefully

Lyrics

I don’t run as fast as I used to run,
But I know which roads are true.
I’ve learned which storms will pass me by,
And which ones make me new.
Every wrinkle’s got a story,
Every scar’s a badge of grace.
I finally like the mirror,
When I look myself in the face.

I’ve traded chasing shadows,
For standing in the sun.
Turns out the best years of my life,
Ain’t over, they’ve begun.

I’m growing older gracefully,
Like a song that’s found its key.
I don’t need to prove a thing,
Just growing older just me.
I’ve got less fear and more faith now,
More laughter, less regret.
I’m growing older gracefully,
And these are the best days yet.

I don’t need the crowd to notice,
I don’t need the loud applause.
I’ve learned the quiet moments,
Are what matter most of all.
I choose my battles wisely now,
I sleep a little better too.
I’ve learned that saying “no” sometimes,
Just means saying “yes” to truth.

I’m growing older gracefully,
Like a song that’s found its key.
I don’t need to prove a thing,
Just growing older just me.
I’ve got less fear and more faith now,
More laughter, less regret.
I’m growing older gracefully,
And these are the best days yet.

Guitar solo that echoes the spirit of the past,
Reminding me of moments that were built to last.
Every note a reflection of the wisdom I've gained,
As the music swells, I’m never feeling drained.

With every cup of coffee, I savor every sip,
Life’s just a winding road on this old cowboy trip.
I dance with my shadows, I sing to the moon,
Finding peace in the chaos, it’s never too soon.

I’m growing older gracefully,
Like a song that’s found its key,
I don’t need to prove a thing,
Just growing older just me.
I’ve got less fear and more faith now,
More laughter, less regret.
I’m growing older gracefully,
And these are the best days yet.

So here’s to the road ahead,
The miles I’ve yet to roam,
With every step I’m taking,
I’m right where I belong.
I’m growing older gracefully,
The best is yet to be,
Every day’s a little brighter,
And I’m finally just me.


God I Love Coffee

Lyrics

Alarm clock yelling like it’s mad at me,
Sunlight breaking in—total audacity.
Mirror says, “Buddy, you look barely alive,”
Brain still buffering, eyes on version five.
I tried being positive, I tried being nice,
But my soul needs beans before it gives advice.
I ain’t grumpy, I’m just temporarily mean,
I’m a hostage situation till I get caffeine.

God, I love coffee—hallelujah, amen,
It turns mumbles into sentences, boys into men.
From zombie to somebody in a single cup,
I don’t wake up—I get poured awake first thing up.
Oh God, I really love coffee, it’s a spiritual thing,
That first hot sip makes the angels sing.

Before coffee, don’t ask me a thing,
My personality’s on airplane mode—no ping.
I can’t find my phone, it’s already in my hand,
I put milk in the cabinet like it’s part of the plan.
I’ve got dreams, ambitions, brilliance on deck,
But right now, all I need is that caffeine check.

I ain’t grumpy, I’m just temporarily mean,
You’ll see the real me once I get my caffeine.

God, I love coffee—hallelujah, amen,
It turns mumbles into sentences, boys into men.
From zombie to somebody in a single cup,
I don’t wake up—I get poured awake first thing up.
Oh God, I really love coffee, it’s a spiritual thing,
That first hot sip makes the angels sing.

Pour it hot, pour it strong, I can take the heat,
Cream and sugar like a melody sweet.
Like a wildfire igniting, sparks flying high,
In the morning chaos, coffee’s the reason I fly.

God, I love coffee—hallelujah, amen,
It turns mumbles into sentences, boys into men.
From zombie to somebody in a single cup,
I don’t wake up—I get poured awake first thing up.
Oh God, I really love coffee, it’s a spiritual thing,
That first hot sip makes the angels sing.

So here’s to the brews, the mugs held high,
To the morning rituals that make us comply.
With every last drop, it’s a love affair,
God, I love coffee, it’s beyond compare!


Let The Universe Work This Out

Lyrics

I used to sprint toward every maybe,
Chase the clock like it owed me favors.
Tried to force the future early,
Pulled the petals, counted the layers.
Every sign said slow your breathing,
Every door said not just yet.
Turns out timing’s got a rhythm,
You don’t rush what hasn’t met.

I was knocking on tomorrow,
With yesterday’s shoes on tight.
But the stars don’t read our schedules,
They just show up when it’s right.

Let the Universe work this out, I'll wait,
With my hands open wide.
Let the Universe do its magic,
While I’m living my life.
Let The Universe pull the strings,
No begging the sky for a sign.
What’s meant for me knows my address,
It’ll find me right on time.

I used to overthink the silence,
Read too much between the lines.
But quiet’s just the Universe,
Writing in invisible ink sometimes.

Let the Universe work this out, I'll wait,
With my hands open wide.
Let the Universe do its magic,
While I’m living my life.

Let The Universe pull the strings,
No begging the sky for a sign.
What’s meant for me knows my address,
It’ll find me right on time.

Now I’m learning how to surrender,
Trust the road that’s yet to be.
Every twist and every turn,
Is a part of my journey, can’t you see?

So I’ll sit back and watch the sunrise,
Let the colors paint my skies.
With every beat of my heart I know,
The Universe is on my side.

Let the Universe work this out, I'll wait,
With my hands open wide.
Let the Universe do its magic,
While I’m living my life.
Let The Universe pull the strings,
No begging the sky for a sign.
What’s meant for me knows my address,
It’ll find me right on time.

Yeah, let the Universe work this out, I'll wait,
With a smile on my face.
What’s meant for me knows my address,
I’ll find it in this space.


Big Daddy Rooster

Lyrics

Sun ain’t up but somebody knows,
Who to holler loud and steal the show.
Alarm clocks snoozin’, world still asleep,
But Big Daddy crowin’ like he owns the lease.
He don’t need coffee, he don’t need grace,
He wakes the planet straight in the face.

Farm to city, hut to mall,
That rooster’s call is a global call.

Cock-a-doodle-doo—who’s your daddy now?
Big Daddy Rooster, yeah he runs the town.
Feathers puffed, chest stickin’ out,
Big Daddy Rooster lettin’ everybody know how.
Eggs on your plate, boots on the ground,
You don’t eat breakfast without him around.

Chickens keep the world on beat,
Scrambled, fried, or extra sweet.
Grandma’s kitchen, diner grill,
Sunday brunch—yeah, they pay the bills.
From back-road coops to skyscraper views,
Every culture got chicken news.

From nuggets to stew to a five-star plate,
That bird’s been workin’ overtime, mate.

Cock-a-doodle-doo—who’s your daddy now?
Big Daddy Rooster, yeah he runs the town.
Feathers puffed, chest stickin’ out,
Big Daddy Rooster lettin’ everybody know how.
Eggs on your plate, boots on the ground,
You don’t eat breakfast without him around.

So let the sun rise with a dust and a scratch,
Big Daddy leads the way, there’s no match.
Through fields of clover, in morning’s soft light,
He struts his stuff, he’s a glorious sight.

Neighbors know when he starts to sing,
It’s the start of the day, let the joy bells ring.
Kids on their bikes, old folks in chairs,
Everyone smiles when they hear that flair.

Cock-a-doodle-doo—who’s your daddy now?
Big Daddy Rooster, yeah he runs the town.
Feathers puffed, chest stickin’ out,
Big Daddy Rooster lettin’ everybody know how.
Eggs on your plate, boots on the ground,
You don’t eat breakfast without him around.

So here’s to the rooster, bold and proud,
Big Daddy’s crowin’, draws the crowd.
In every heart, that call’s a tune,
Big Daddy Rooster risin’ with the moon.
