Work: I retired from a major oil company in 1997.
My hobbies are spending time with my grandchildren and writing song lyrics. I belong to a local songwriters group and collaborate with many wonderful and talented singer/songwriters. I sing my own songs I make especially for the "over 50" seniors under "songwritingranny" which I hope to make song videos for and show them on this site

V1
Me and my big brother after church on Sunday
Out in Granny's backyard playing Army Green Beret
Climbing in the old oak tree, smell of supper on the breeze
Music drifting through the door...man?.
That's something to die for
V2
Me and Jeannie Farmer, walking down to Skalseys Creek
An old dirt road to a swimming hole in the Carolina heat
Laughing in the warm night air she lets down her long brown hair
She?s more than just the girl next door..... I swear...
That's something to die for
Chorus
Country, God and family
These things I believe
Are the things in life worth living for
Country, God and family
What it takes to keep them free
Makes everything I do worth fighting for
That?s something to die for
V3
Me and my sweet Jeannie after church on Sunday
Out in Granny?s backyard as our little children play
Memories made forever of one more day together
Before I leave again ?for war?.
That?s something to die for
Bridge
Far away in a foreign land a blinding flash in the desert sand
My dreams are gone like fading tracks erased by the wind
Repeat Chorus
Tag
That?s something to die for
That?s something I died for
Tears came into my eyes when listening to this song, thank you so much for dedicating this song to our soldiers. May GOD Bless America for ever, and may the good lord bless you for your talent. V.A.Cepeda - Milford, PA
Hi Media,
Thank you for your comments. My co-writer, Herbert Hartley, initiated the idea and it was our way of paying tribute to all the men and women who fight for our country and freedom. We must not forget all that they give up and sacrafice for our safety and freedom....all our veterans deserve our love, respect and support. God bless them all! .....Pat
