RIK: "I have two amazing loves that split my time-my wife, and my music. Most of the time they tolerate each other, but that's about it."

lyrics

Lay down last night, with a geared up mind
Glowing in the darkness, no sleep could I find for hours
Up with the alarm, on the big road again
Pushing to make Mobile by 6pm
Sing my songs with a smile

I was standing on a corner when you found me, a poor man in Richland
Didn't take me long to realize I'd been saved

Lay down last night, in a bed all mine
Little motel by the water on the Gulf beach side
All alone, thoughts of you fill the room
Up with the alarm, back in the van
I-10 east to Jacksonville to do it again
Sing my songs for awhile

I was standing on a corner when you found me, a poor man in Richland
Didn't take me long to realize I'd been made

I drop my gear by the door and I'm in your embrace
I vow to never again leave this place
This is just too right
But when I tell you I'm gonna hang up my guitar
Stop all my running and maybe open a bar
You laugh, cos you know

I was standing on a corner when you found me, a poor man in Richland
Didn't take me long to realize I'd arrived

I was standing on a corner when you found me, a poor man in Richland
Didn't take me long to ask you to be my wife
