This is one of my favorite songs that I've written.  My mom says she wants me to sing it at her funeral.  That's how much she likes it.  It's my musical & spiritual testimony.  You don't have to agree with it.  But I hope you like the music.

Well, all my life I've been playing some kind of music.  I was raised on Elvis, Little Richard, and Jerry Lee Lewis, Ricky Nelson, Buddy Holly, Bill Haley & The Comets.

The Beatles came along and sang about "Sergeant Pepper",  "Here, There and Everywhere",  "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds";  The boys from Britain were right!  I was a real "Nowhere Man!"

I've been north and south, east and west playing music;  I've been in nightclubs, country clubs, coliseums and convention centers.  One time I even played on "Saturday in the Park."

I like ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Molly Hatchet; Elton John, Johnny Rivers, Leon Russell and Bob Dylan.  And just like the song he wrote says, "You Gotta Serve Somebody."

So, in 1969 I gave my heart to Jesus.  Now my music and my life are more on the Rock than ever.  The beat might sound the same, but...

I No Longer Sing the Blues!

For the rest of my life I'm gonna sing and play for Jesus.  You see I'm trusting and obeying, this world is not swaying me no more, no more, no more.
My life's built on the Rock.  My name's up on the Roll.
I hung up my "Blue Suede Shoes," and

I No Longer Sing the Blues!
