~ Missouri Queen ~
I was born in the Georgia sunshine
Raised between the loblolly pine
My momma is a Missouri Queen
Unto her I owe everything
She hitched a ride on a shooting star
They went everywhere near and far
Her father warned her, don't be caught in the light
You got fly high if you wanna make through the night
She returned to that house on the hill
To teach me lessons about standing still
She said all the troubles that come your way
They too shall pass someday
It's taken a life time to get this far
There are no more shooting stars

Dear Life

~ Dear Life ~
We were climbing over walls
And squarin' off with the night
Facing our demons
and putting up a good fight
Singing songs about the old times
and loves that aren't here
worrying about tomorrow
and shown' no fear
Taking polaroids for memories
Whisky for Strife
In the belly of the buzzard
We were hanging on to life
Taking polaroids for memories
Whisky for Strife
in the belly of the buzzard
we were hanging on to dear life
Momma said there might be days like these
Might be hard to get out of bed
You got do what you can
Not to lose your head
Bottom might drop out
Life can come undone
Sun might disappear
And the good will die young
Taking polaroids for memories
Whisky for Strife
in the belly of the buzzard
we were hanging on to dear life
Taking polaroids for memories
Whisky for Strife
in the belly of the buzzard
we were hanging on to dear life
Now you're stranded in the street
Wondern' which way to go
Someone calls out your name
But it's no one you know
You're stumblin, down the alleyway
Tryn' to hail a ride
we'll come back to the beach someday
if we can just stay alive
Taking polaroids for memories
Whisky for Strife
In the belly of the buzzard
we were hanging on to dear life
Taking polaroids for memories
Whisky for Strife
In the belly of the buzzard
We were holdn' onto life

~ Song For Mother ~
She said I ain’t gonna go there
You never know what’s in store
You lose a part of yourself
Every time you open the door
Every time you open the door
She said you wouldn’t understand
You haven’t lived the life I lived
They can take whatever they want away from you
Until there’s nothin’ left to give
Until there’s nothin’ left to give
Oh my boy was just a child
When they stole his life from me
It’s more than I can care to bare
Did you watch it on TV?
Oh, Did you watch it on tv?
It’s all that I can think about
Those 30 second clips that feed the churn
It’s all that I can think about
What good can come from this now?
You live but you don’t learn
You live but you don’t learn
And I could tell you a thousand stories
About the way he looked at dawn
Oh what good could come from this now?
My boy he is gone
Oh, my boy he is gone.

John L keck Kansas City, Missouri
I write from personal experience on the whole, and even when I’m telling a tale, its grounded in something that's happened to me... a sliver of time in the crazy ride that has been my life. Hopefully that comes through honestly .I write about everything, often about love or emotions surrounding relationships, those seem to be the songs that people respond to the most. ... more
