about

One day, Logan and his better half were having some "trouble in paradise". He had had tried everything he could think of and even bought her a Dozen Roses earlier that day. Nothing was working.

She went for a drive to clear her head and Logan put hands on his trusty 1986 Yamaha Acoustic to write perhaps his best ever.

Needless to say it worked and they've now been together over ten years; but the song speaks to what if. What if she hadn't come back, where would you find him? It wouldn't be pretty and Logans skilled songwriting takes you back to the greats such as Haggard, Cash and Jones.

lyrics

Well I bought her a dozen roses

On the night she left home

Now I just sit here lonesome

And she’s free to roam

But if I had one shot to tell her

Just how I feel

It wouldn’t matter, her minds made up

Guess I’ll miss me another meal

The wells dried up, the windows shut

There’s ghosts in the halls

And even though I took all her photos down

She still haunts my walls

And no amount of spirits

Can quench my thirst

The clock is slowly ticking

As I wait for my hearse

She came in once while I was out

Drowning my sins

She packed and took up everything

All her little things

She left just one trinket

On the stand by the bed

The golden ring I bought for her

My old heart it bled

CHORUS

So if your woman tries to leave you

Don’t let her my friend

Hold onto her tightly

Never let it end

Cuz life without her

Just don’t make sense

Don’t let your glass

Fill up with regret
