Highway 35

Highway 35 is the 4th chronological song in my evolution. is about me living with my grandparents before their death and after the deaths at different times of my baby sister and parents and the seeds and core values of my unknown gift were born.

A lot of people always tell me aren't you a country boy from San Marcos.
Where's a country song ?

So sat and thought and played some notes on the guitar and here it is.

In my life, So far I have Gone
But I know there's no return to no family and home.


And as the years and miles go by
But I can always in my minds eye.
For a minute Take the years back and go down highway 35

I remember what grandpa taught me about love country and family.
Grandma playing piano and teaching me song and harmony
She gave me the gift and opened the way back for me.

In that old southern white painted church JESUS set my soul free.
They went to heaven and left.
But in my heart their always with me

I wish I had known how time would fly.
I would have told them more I loved them so.
The world was mine and I had to go.

And it makes me cry
There's no one to go back to down highway 35


In my life, So far I have Gone
But I know there's no return to no family and home.

I remember what grandpa taught me about love country and family.
Grandma playing piano and teaching me song and harmony.
She gave me the gift and opened the way back for me.

In that old southern white painted church JESUS set my soul free
They went to heaven and left
But in my heart their always with me


In my life, So far I have Gone
But I know there's no return to no family and home


I wish I had known how time would fly.
I would have told them more how I loved them so
.
The world was mine and I had to go.
And it makes me cry
There's no one to go back to down highway 35


And as the miles and the years go by.
And in my minds eye.
For a minute Take the years back and go down highway 35


So for I have gone.
But I know there's no return to no family and no home.

I never thought I could write something so touching that it would make me cry,
Thank you JESUS for never giving up on me and giving me this gift.
