An original song I wrote and created with AI. I thought it came out pretty good after a bunch of edits and redos. 😊
Verse 1
It was 2 a.m. when the call came in,
Momma’s voice was shakin’ on the line.
“Honey, Daddy’s real sick, can you get here quick?
I think we’re runnin’ out of time.”
She drove through the night,
Empty roads, no light,
Till she finally made it to him.
The man once strong and tall
Looked so frail and small
Lyin’ in that hospital bed.
Pre‑Chorus
She sat on the edge as he opened his eyes,
On his face, relief and a soft surprise.
He nodded his head,
And this is what he said—
Chorus
When it’s all said and done,
There’s only one.
Only so many trips ’round the sun,
And then there’s none.
Dreams and regrets,
There’ll be plenty.
Bad times and good,
There’ll be many.
But life keeps flowin’ along,
And you’ll never be alone.
So wipe away those tears,
Let go of those fears—
I’ll be watchin’ from above.
’Cause when it’s all said and done,
There’s only one.
Verse 2
It was 2 a.m. when the call came in,
Daddy’s voice was tremblin’ on the line.
“Your grandma’s real sick, can you get here quick?
I think we’re runnin’ out of time.”
She drove through the night
With the radio low and light,
Till she finally made it to her.
The woman steady and strong—
Something felt so wrong
Lyin’ in that hospital bed.
Pre‑Chorus
She sat on the edge as she opened her eyes,
Wearin’ that look—so knowing, so wise.
She nodded her head,
And softly said—
Chorus (Variation)
When it’s all said and done,
There’s only one.
So many trips ’round the sun,
And then there are none.
Dreams and regrets—
Honey, there’ll be many.
Storms and sunshine—
There’ll be plenty.
But life keeps rollin’ along,
And you’ll never be alone.
So wipe away your tears,
Forget those fears—
I’ll be watchin’ over you.
’Cause when it’s all said and done,
There’s only one.
'Cause when it's all said and done,
there's only one......life.
Just came across this Aaron Lewis track “Give My Country Back” and the lyrics hit hard.
“If you don’t like my country, you can give my country back…”
Straight talk. No fluff.
Who else has been bumping this one lately? 🇺🇸

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope everyone is enjoying their American Eagle Day!🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸
Murphy is practicing his frisbee catching skills today. I think this working dog wants to be an eagle too! 😁
Growing up in the West teaches you the importance of working hard, respecting the land and leaving things better than you found them.
America is vast, beautiful and abundant. We don’t have to choose between conservation and prosperity—we can do both.

@dbongino Florida almost made the same mistake, but God was smiling on us and we elected DeSantis… He won by only 0.4% in 2018… He has since made this State one of the best to live in, as you well know… 🫡
It’s remarkable to watch people vote for their own decline.
I’ve seen this phenomenon play out three times now.
I was born and raised in New York City during the Abe Beame, Ed Koch, and David Dinkins years. Those administrations often seemed locked in a competition over who could do the most damage to the city’s economy and public safety. The city was struggling. Then lightning struck: Rudy Giuliani won the mayor’s race and, in just a few years, helped turn New York around. The city felt alive again.
Businesses returned, crime dropped, and there was an energy and optimism that had been missing for years.
I left shortly afterward because of a work-related move, but I watched from afar as New York went from Bloomberg to de Blasio to Adams, and now Mamdani. Sadly, I fear the city is headed in the wrong direction again.
I saw a version of the same story in Maryland. Despite being a deep-blue state, voters elected a Republican governor who improved the state’s trajectory and won reelection comfortably. Rather than build on that success, voters turned back to progressive policies under Wes Moore, and many of the same problems are reemerging. I’ve never understood why people choose policies that create trouble when they’ve already living with the receipts.
Now I live in Florida, where the Scott and DeSantis administrations have transformed the state into an economic oasis. Every day, I hope Florida stays on its current course and avoids the mistakes that sent places like NY City and Maryland backward.
