This song has been stuck in my head for the past two weeks. It’s from Willie Nelson’s new album called Dream Chaser. It makes me smile every time I hear it. So I finally decided I needed to, at the very least, make a video.

There are lines that ring so very true to me. The first: "It's worth every mile to get to sing for a while. Truth is, I've done it all for free."

I love that. I am so fortunate to make a living making music that I love. And I've been practicing, singing and writing more than ever this year. I don't ever not want to do that.

The second line is: "Last night a new song came to me. Faster than I could write it down. Sometimes I wonder, if there'll be another. Then another comes around."

My friend Mikey Mason likes to talk about being a musician as his job. He writes a new song every week. He doesn’t wait for inspiration.

I may not be writing a new song every week. But there are times when I stare at that blank page. I can’t help but wonder if I’ll ever write another song I love.

Later, I’m in awe that I was able to finish the song and create something I love.

Like my new Doctor Who songs. I don't know if they are all the best "drinking songs". But I do know they are fun, beautiful, and catchy. Songs I love. Songs I'm proud to have written.

Willie Nelson is 93 years old. He’s still writing songs that inspire. I’m happy to play this song. Enjoy the video!
