Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.

Another cracker Jim. It came over as a pop/rock song in my mind, i guess it could work as a country rocker too. If I get time later I'll try it on my guitar both ways. Great hook and it reads as if it all came out of your pencil without having to struggle for the next line, I love it when that happens. Nice song to wake up to on a Saturday morning     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
