about

This is the title track off of my 4th solo CD. After all the tragedy I had been through, starting in 2011 with the death of my brother, and up to where
I am now, I put down into words and music. This is my family story.....

lyrics

Family Matters

John Crain was my firstborn son stubborn hearted bound to run
I watched an angry boy grow up from a half empty glass to an
overflowing cup
He left town and never looked back that Portland rain had
what he lacked
When I think about him I couldn’t be any prouder
cause family matters

Sarah came home a total surprise September’s child
with searching eyes
Had me right there in the palm of her hand
in that certain way that a daughter can
She’s independent loving and kind
but she felt trapped in between the lines
And Texas had what she was searching after family matters

Dallas came home that fateful night
we said goodbye to a cherished life
He was sad and I was too but the more we loved him
the more we knew
I guess something’s were meant to be
and the good Lord’s ways are a mystery
His heart of gold is a treasure chest not a day goes by
where I don’t feel blessed
Stella showed up at the worst of times I thought my wife had
lost her mind
But she saw something deep in me a reborn faith that I’d believe
There was something more to life than this so we’re starting over
with two more kids
And more will be revealed in the days hereafter
cause family matters

Sherry’s all that I have left of the family that lived like
Father Knows Best
Tommy’s gone too young to die it was the only time
I ever saw my dad cry
With angel’s wings and broken hearts I watched my mom and dad
fall apart
What was once a family tree fell branch by branch all around me
Some days I wake up lost and confused what’s a poor little orphan
boy to do
When no one’s there to comfort him that’s the minute
that Sandy steps in
She’s my rock and she’s my strength and she will go to any length
To pull me right back from the edge of disaster that’s why
family matters
