Everything I am is because of the Lord and I give all the glory to Him. The simple truth is God will take care of you. Take the leap of faith, ask Jesus into your heart, accept His gift of grace, trust and live for Him. Psalm 59:16 "But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble." I am a singer/songwriter playing for the sheer joy of it. I've been finding peace singing at my piano all my life. I'm happy to sing and play for my supper anytime. :)

Lyrics
Theres a dog on a chain Standing out in the rain Barking at shadows and ghosts Hes tied to a trailer His masters a failure He aint got a bite or bone Girl right next door Just barely four Splashin in puddles and mud Mama says stay here And then disappears But that girl sees a rainbow And takes off in a run Where theres nothin to do but nothin And nobody listens at all Livin their lives and closing their eyes on lost little girls and mean dogs Theres a strung a deadbeat Who lives across the street Selling weed to kids on the block Windows blacked out And radio cranked loud Always half stoned and half-cocked Theres a mama in tears Old phone to her ear She knocks and she runs house to house Theres a dog on a chain Whos been out in the rain Pitchin a fit Tryin to yank his chain out Where theres nothin to do but nothin And nobody listens at all Livin their lives and closing their eyes on lost little girls and mean dogs Thru the patter of the rain Still an hour remains Fore the cops even send a man out And that dog starts to growl Starts to yelp, starts to howl At the trailer with the windows blacked out But that dog wont give up And his chain finally busts He charges across the street With hell in his eyes Hes the only one to hear her cries Theres nothin to do but nothin When nobody listens at all Theres a hole in the side Of an old single wide And an ambulance parked out in front Police swarm the scene Pull out pots of bright green And the corpse of the one strung out punk And a dog by the neck Still blood on his breath Drugged up to be hauled away And a lost little girl Who owes him her world Wraps her arms around him And begs him to stay Where theres nothin to do but nothin And nobody listens at all Are we livin our lives and closing our eyes on lost little girls and mean dogs

Very fine sounding collab - that's a lot of words/lyrics but I like them as well as the vocals and superb piano playing. Nice!
