Friends Anymore

Jay Knowles had this idea. I almost fell out of my chair. I couldn’t believe how different it was, but still accessible to everyone who ever fell in love.

Walk Away

I’ve had the good fortune to write with Jay Knowles (think “She’ll Leave You With A Smile,” George Strait). A totally original, fun person to work with at all times.

Memory Road

This is one of my favorite songs that I’ve written with my very talented Texas friend.

Change a Man

Years ago Rand Bishop asked if I’d write with his friend David Shields. I’ve been grateful ever since. This song expresses everything a first time father feels.

In The Middle Of

I love working with Robin and Brent.

We’re Closed

One of my absolute favorites of the songs I wrote with Lisa and Jamie.

Some of That

Another Jamie and Brandy song. Brandy could sing the phone book, and I’d buy it.

Comin’ Up Empty

Jamie and Lisa asked me to help finish and improve this song when it was more than half done. Their title was a hit by itself.

Where You Get Off

This is a cool song.

Black Beans and Rice

We wrote this to show that real professional hit songwriters are really capable. We had the most fun in 10 years and laughed until we hurt!
