You're Gone
(Zach Harmon)

My Dad wanted me to write more of a country styled song, so I started working on this. I recorded this track in my small studio about four years ago. This was my Dad's favorite recording that I did.
I lay awake though the night with no one to hold
Just a hard photo of you and this cold pillow
And when I finally sleep, I dream of how things used to be
But, that was so long ago
(Chorus)
You're gone, I'm still here
I lost you baby, now who's to save me
You're gone, I"m still here
And I want to tell you how much I miss you
But, you're gone
I try to tell myself to move on and find something new
But then again how can I, find something in this life like you
And it's so hard, to lose the ones you love so fast
And it's so easy, to live the rest of your life living in the past
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
You left this life way to soon
But, when I reach the other side
I'll be back with you
(Chorus)
When I'm gone, I'll be there
I'll find you baby, your love will save me
When I'm gone, I'll be there
I'm going to tell you how much I've missed you
When I'm gone, I'll be there
I"ll find you baby, your love will save me
When I'm gone, I'll be there
And, I'm going to tell you how much I love you
Maybe One Day

Well, I had met a girl that I really enjoyed the company of. She wasn't half bad to look at either. Anyway, everyone has a moment of infatuation with another person at some point in their life and this one was one of mine. She ended up moving away. After I knew she was leaving, I came up with the idea of this song.
"Maybe One Day"
She's got a smile on her face
You know the kind, you never get tired
She's got a lover's embrace
And you hope she'll never let go
And I...
I want to take her
And hold her in my arms
But I'll just wait
For maybe one day
She's got a warmth to her touch
That feels my heart with desire
But for a life based on love
It don't mean nothing if there's no love in my life
And I...
Can't stop this feeling
No matter how hard I try
But I'll just wait
For maybe one day
And I don't want a life
If that means being without her
Cause I could be the one
Who's only living for her
And I don't want a life
If that means being without her
Cause I could be the one
Who's only living for her
She's got a smile on her face
You know the kind, you never get tired of...
And I...
I know I love her and I'll do whatever it takes
But I'll just wait
For maybe one day
I know I lover her and I'll do whatever it takes
But I'll just wait
For maybe one day
Those Stars Still Shine

This was so cool to me. I like having multiple writers on an album. That way it doesn't seem like one guy wrote the whole album. There is a different flavor to it. Well, the studio engineer introduced me to Greg Young and told him that I wanted a song that had to do with changes. He called me the next day at 10am with a song. He wrote this song over night. I thought that was so cool.
"Those Stars Still Shine"
(verse 1)
Driving down this road
By the drive-in picture show
Where my parents used to go in the summer time
On a saturday night
Josie Wales beneath the stars
Smokey and the Bandit and a candy bar
They loved, they lived, what a sweet, sweet life
(chorus)
Changes come scene by scene
Those stars still shine over Abilene
Those stars still shine over Abilene
(verse 2)
Now I can't say I know
What lies on down this road
Or where I'm gonna go
It's a mystery, who knows these things
I'm living for today
I'm caught up in the moment and going to stay
Right here with you no matter what life brings
(chorus)
(bridge)
Baby I know a change is coming
It's just around the bend
But, I hope you will stay with me
And see just how the movie ends
(chorus)
Two Broken Hearts

Jason is a fantastic young writer who has a bunch of great ideas. In addition to his mother's great songwriting talent, they are an incredible writing duo. I was very fortunate enough to be able to have this song on my album. I fell in love with it instantly.
"Two Broken Hearts"
(verse 1)
Doing all that I can do
To keep from breaking down
Looking in the rearview
At the lights of my home town
Never thought it'd be this hard
To leave it all behind
In another mile
I'll be across that county line
(chorus)
I saw you three times this morning
Twice on my way home
This time is the last time
I'm leaving you alone
I think I'll make it easy
We're better off apart
Cause this town just ain't big enough
For two broken hearts
(verse 2)
I thought I'd take the back road
So we wouldn't meet
Then I saw you pass me
On that dead end street
Tried to turn the other way
But you were there just the same
I can't get over you
When you're in the other lane
(chorus)
(bridge)
I know I'm going to miss our little town
All our hopes and dreams
And the love we thought we found
I never thought that I'd
Be the one out on this road
There's no way around it
Someone's gotta go
(chorus)
