lyrics

when will we realize we're no longer civilized
when will we slow down and understand
this breath of life it won't last long
and all these treasured things will be gone

like grub coffee and conversation
when you didn't need an invitation
living in texas meant a hard days work
and you still believed in shaking hands
like when the buffalo roamed the land
and honesty was still the measure of a man's worth

now why do we hesitate and fill our minds with all this hate
why do we complain but we don't act
we've come too far way too fast living like this it sure won't last
and if you want to change think back

to grub coffee and conversation a little campfire congregation
when we all could find just a little time
and watching grandpa's tobacco grin
through tales of cowboys and indians
your legacy is filled with the stories that you leave behind

over grub coffee and conversation under God in one great nation
when we could still call our neighbors our friends
and you still believed in shaking hands
like when the comanche ruled the land
and honesty was still the measure of a man's worth

about

Jeremy Martin Fort Worth, Texas

These are my versions of how things were, how they are, and how it should be.

These songs were all recorded at different times in different studios so they all have their own unique sound and a life of their own. That’s perfect, that’s the way it should be…. Every song deserves to be fearless on its own platform!!

Cheers -
Thanks for listening!!
