about

"BESSIE," (the name of my motorhome/car house) was the first song I started writing for the record right after I threw myself into FT RV living and hit the road in 2022.

I needed space and time to process the events of the pandemic and the loss of my Mom to cancer. This song is an ode to the road and getting used to not being able to talk to her everyday and tell her all the little things. The bridge is an epic nod to the prayer I'd say every time I got behind the wheel, "angels, guides, guardians and Mom, I thank you for watching over me and guiding me on this journey. I pray that you keep me safe. May the road be smooth and the way be clear. Amen!"

lyrics

Bessie

She likes cruisin at 55
gone are the days of the fast lane
slow and steady we roll

I don’t wanna plan I just want some time to get it together cuz I’ve lost my mind
And my heart

CHORUS
She would’ve said go out n get it
But I’ll worry bout you and don’t you forget it
Just call me every day and tell me everything

Took a little time to enjoy the ride
Now I’m sitting right back and laughin and cryin
It’s so beautiful

where I’m gonna go I just don’t know,
Workin my way down the road
In my time

CHORUS
She would’ve said go out n get it
But I’ll worry bout you and don’t you forget it
She would’ve said l love you with her arms around me
Please call me every day and tell me all the little things

Bridge
I thank you every single day
And I pray that you keep me safe
And I miss you, I miss you, I miss you Oh
So I’ll take you with me

CHORUS
She would’ve said go out n get it
But I’ll worry bout you and don’t you forget it
She would’ve said l love you with her arms around me
Just call me every day and tell me everything
Please call me every day and tell me all the little things
I wish I could call you every day and tell all the little things
