I once believed that I was strong enough But I was faking it, trying to make it on my own God knows I was out there long enough Lost and wandering until I found a home... in you I used to think I had it figured out I was delusional, wasting time, just getting by I thought I knew what love was all about Now it's clear that only you can get me high I've traveled all around this world of ours But never once did I meet anyone like you Now I pray to God above that he won't take away your love Cuz that's the one thing that could bring me to my knees Say you'll stay with me tonight and let me hold you in my arms I need to feel you breathe Every passing day just seems to go too fast I want to make 'em last... every moment I'm with you Cuz God knows I was out there long enough Fighting battles that just left me black and blue Now I pray to God above that he won't take away your love Cuz that's the one thing that would have me begging please Say you'll stay with me tonight and let me hold you in my arms I need to feel you breathe You must have come here from upon the stars You gave me hope again, you saved my life... you know it's true Beneath the armor you found all my scars You took my heart and knew exactly what to do That's why I pray to God above that he won't take away your love Cuz that's the one thing that could bring me to my knees Please say you'll stay with me tonight and let me hold you in my arms I need to feel you breathe God I need to feel your breathing Please let me feel you breathe I need to feel you breathe

Carolina 04:19
It all just seemed to happen in the blinking of an eye Just couldn't seem to work it out no matter how she tried And she wasn't going back there, she had turned and closed the door And she wasn't looking back now...there was too much to explore And she'd just returned from paradise but everything had changed The places where...the people there...well, nothing felt the same So she packed up her belongings and she threw them in the truck Put a jacket on her boy and kissed his forehead for good luck And she prayed for divine intervention as she gazed up at the sky A little voice inside her ear said...darling, don't you cry Amazing is in store for you, but you know what you need to do Give Carolina one more try Just one more try So she moved out of the city, didn't know what she might find Her intuition pushed her, something told her it was time And she rolls the dice as fine as anyone I've ever known It's the way she sees her angels...they let her know she's not alone She allows her faith to guide her, it's gotten her this far And with a little work and with a little luck and with a wish upon a star She packed up her belongings and she threw them in the truck Put a jacket on her boy and kissed his forehead for good luck There could be something there for you There could be something there that's true...Carolina Yeah, there could be someone there for you There could be someone there that's true Give Carolina one more try And she prays for divine intervention as she gazes at the sky A little voice inside her ear says...darling, don't you cry Amazing is in store for you, but you know what you need to do Give Carolina one more try Just one more try Sweet Carolina

Trouble 04:29
You blow my mind with all those crazy things you can do Never thought I might find a sexy little lover like you And you're making me smile... what's going on inside of my heart It's been a long while, I'm not sure I know where to start When I'm around you I get nervous... does it show up on the surface My friends say I should just take it slow But if you knew what I was thinking... my head's spinning without drinking And I'm not sure just which way to go Oh boy, I think I'm in trouble I think I'm in trouble Chills run down my spine, I've got goosebumps from my head down to my toes I plan on making you mine... I'd be a lucky man if I'm the one you chose And you're blowing my mind, I'm exposed and there ain't nowhere left to hide And you're turning me on... got me all tingly, tangled up inside When I'm around you I get nervous... does it show up on the surface My friends say I should just take it slow But if you knew what I was thinking... my head's spinning without drinking And I'm not sure just which way to go Oh boy, I think I'm in Trouble moved in next door to me Now it ain't the boring neighborhood it used to be Can I get a cup of sugar or a glass of wine Watch her walk to the kitchen... she's so damn fine She came back to the door with a glass in hand Said... seems a little early for drinking, man I said invite me in... maybe we could pass the time And I can tell you all about how When I'm around you I get nervous... does it show up on the surface My friends say I should just take it slow But if you knew what I was thinking... my head's spinning without drinking And I'm not sure just which way to go Oh boy, I think I'm in trouble Mmmm... I think I'm in trouble

They say you shouldn't live beyond your means But she's the kind of girl that money just can't buy My heart feels like it's bursting at the seams Sounds crazy, but...I've got to give it a try I bet I could make her love me I bet I could change her mind Well it used to be that I'd just sit around here feeling sorry for myself But since I met that girl...you know I haven't had the time And ever since she told me she don't belong to someone else I've got to find a way, 'cuz I'm going to make her mine They say you shouldn't fall in love too fast But she's the kind of girl you don't let slip away I'm looking for a love that's meant to last It might sound crazy, but...I've got some things I've been wanting to say Like, I bet I could make her love me...yeah, yeah, yeah I bet I could change her mind It used to be that I'd just sit around here feeling sorry for myself But since I met that girl...you know I haven't had the time, no And ever since she told me she don't belong to someone else I've got to find a way, 'cuz I'm going to make her mine They say you shouldn't live beyond your means My heart feels like it's bursting at the seams Cuz she might be the girl of my dreams I bet I could make her love me I bet I could change her mind

I Can't Wait 04:32
Sailing past the street lamps as they swim across the dash I stare out the window and watch it all go by The medicine's not working and I'm running low on cash A heaviness weighs upon my eyes My mind begins to wander, the rain begins to fall This road goes on forever, I should've told you when you called that I can't wait to rock you like a baby in my arms and feel you close to me There's no giving up on me and you...I'll be home before the night is through I can't wait to see the sunlight dance across your hair when you smile at me There's no giving up on me and you...I'll be home before the night is through So I'm two hours from the border, a million miles away from you I check the city lights behind me in my mirror I wade into the darkness lost without you by my side The sound of your sweet voice ringing in my ear Then my mind begins to wander, the rain begins to fall This road goes on forever, I should've told you when you called that I can't wait to rock you like a baby in my arms and feel you close to me There's no giving up on me and you...I'll be home before the night is through I can't wait to see the sunlight dance across your hair when you smile at me There's no giving up on me and you...I'll be home before the night is through All I see is you...I don't even know how long I have been gone And you...I need you to be the one up waiting for me when I get home Cuz I can't wait to rock you like a baby in my arms and feel you close to me There's no giving up on me and you...I'll be home before the night is through And I can't wait to see the sunlight dance across your hair when you smile at me There's no giving up on me and you...I'll be home before the night is through

If I'd have got a nickel every time I had to see you cry All those crocodile tears you wasted over all those years I wish I had a dime for every time I had to 'splain myself Put my words upon a shelf...baby we could analyze them there Ooh Lord, I would be a wealthy man Instead I've got a healthy plan for winnin' back your love Ooh Lord, I would be a lusty man Instead I'm gonna trust the plan I placed in the Lord above Wish I had a quarter every time I watched you walk away I had something left to say, but you weren't gonna hear no more I wish I had a dollar every time you went and broke me down My heart just layin' on the ground, splayed out bleedin' everywhere Ooh Lord, I would be a wealthy man Instead I've got a healthy plan for winnin' back your love Ooh Lord, I should be a lusty man Instead I'm gonna trust the plan I placed in the Lord above They say there's a new one born every minute But you can't help it once you're in it And sometimes things don't turn out like you plan I know in the end I prob'ly went and drove you to it But I never thought you'd go and do it And I'm not sure I will ever understand Ooh Lord, I should be a wealthy man Instead I've got a healthy plan for winnin' back your love Ooh Lord, I could be a lusty man Instead I'm gonna trust the plan I placed in the Lord above

The winding road that life will lead you down Can run you in circles...end up right where you began And every time you stop to think about why you keep runnin' You wonder why you ever ran Ooh, the answer lies inside of you Ooh, you search and still it hides from you Believe what you've seen If you want to know where you're going It's important that you recognize Where you've been The winds are strong and they can set you back You've got to push through it, 'cuz There ain't nowhere else to go The walls you put up have all begun to crack No need to rebuild them They won't protect you any more Ooh, the answer lies inside of you Ooh, you search and still it hides from you Believe what you've seen If you want to know where you're going It's important that you recognize That it's never too late To take that one leap of faith And just when you think you'll slam into the ground The wings you didn't think you had Will turn the whole thing around Ooh, the answer lies inside of you Ooh, you search and still it hides from you Embrace who you've been If you want to know where you're going It's important that you recognize The space you're in And that where you're going ain't where you've been.

Available through Bandcamp and on all major streaming services, including Apple iTunes, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Spotify and more!

Envisioned as a tribute to the music of his youth, "Honeysuckle Shine" is the culmination of more than a year's worth of songwriting, and Lance's first self-produced album in over twenty years.  Urged onward by the amazing guitar talents of Mike Gibson, and a co-write and backup vocals by Michelle Galston on the albums' first single "Trouble", the music is set aglow with creative songwriting and contagious melodies that are as original as they are familiar.

With most of it's offerings couched firmly in the blues, this album takes the listener on a casual ride that starts off slow and ends too soon, and is likely to appeal to fans of artists like Stephen Bishop, Randy Newman, Little River Band, Gerry Rafferty, Paul Davis, Tom Petty, Elton John, and many more of the legendary songwriters of AM radios' golden age.

In an effort get the feel and sound he wanted, Lance sought out world-class mixing engineer Jan Schenk and took his goods to Amsterdam, where they worked to get the tracks just where they needed to be.  Then, to polish it up and add that "Shine", the mixes were sent to Nashville and mastered by Richard Dodd, the Grammy Award-winning engineer on Tom Petty's seminal masterpiece "Wildflowers", as well as many other mind-blowing credits too numerous to mention here.

Created with the idea of vinyl records in mind, the album is available both digitally and as a limited run vinyl LP, and can also be heard through all major streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and many others.

And so, ladies and gentleman, without further ado and for your consideration...

"Honeysuckle Shine"
