Bio

I began playing music at the age of five as the drummer in my father’s band. As I got older, I began to play drums for other acts. At the age of 20, I began playing the pedal steel guitar, having never taken a lesson in my life. Along with my sister, I began working with the Loretta Lynn Show and later moved to Nashville where I worked on the road for many stars. I have played with such notable acts as Gary Stewart, Johnny Paycheck, George Jones, Kitty Wells, Hank Thompson, Johnny Bush, and a host of others.

I’D GIVE MY LAST BREATH
(TO SPEND ONE MORE NIGHT WITH YOU)

YOU TOLD ME IT WAS OVER BETWEEN YOU AND ME
I CRIED ALL NIGHT AS I TRIED TO SLEEP
MY TEARS STAINED YOUR PILLOW- PRAYING IT’S NOT TRUE
I’D GIVE MY LAST BREATH
TO SPEND ONE MORE NIGHT WITH YOU

CH:
I DREAM ABOUT YOU EVERY NIGHT
YOUV’E GOT MY HEART AND SOUL
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU’LL EVER KNOW
IN MY HEART I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
I’VE ALWAYS BEEN TRUE TO YOU
I’D GIVE MY LAST BREATH
TO SPEND ONE MORE NIGHT WITH YOU

THE MEMORIES WE MADE I’LL NEVER FORGET
ALL THE LOVE YOU SHOWED ME — I FAILED TO SEE
I LOVED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART
I KNOW YOU LOVED ME TOO
I’D GIVE MY LAST BREATH TO SPEND
ONE MORE NIGHT WITH YOU

Repeat Chorus
