words and music by jimi ray



when I first started doing music  everybody told me that if I didnt move to
nashville that I couldnt be successful in this industry. I understand what
they were saying. ive never moved.  after 10 years of full time music and
ministry and 5 cds later, I think im successful. it all depends on what a
person deems as success!  god never gives you more unless we are faithful in
the small things-being obedient where we are. im a big dreamer and im guilty
of wondering “what if”! however,  the other side may look greener, but it only
means that you have to fertilize your yard more to keep it that way--and I
hate yard work!! musically, this is an ode to our roots--a little southern,
allman brothers thang!!  roscoe came up with some killer riffs to complement
daves slide!!
