Topic: "So True"

This is just a song about looking to what’s right for inspiration to live by in your life. I kept it kind of generic because what is right is a little unique for everyone so you all can figure out what is right for you.

Re: "So True"

Most excellent, Jeff!
For me, the inspiration is my wife and kids and our lives together.

If somebody had told me 30 years ago that I would be so fully domesticated and loving it, I would have thought they were crazy.

Like you, the other thing that sustains me and keeps it all fun is song writing . . . best habit I ever developed!  I have to take my wife's car to the tire store tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to sitting there waiting for it while I chip away at some song ideas that need more tender loving care.
