About Backroads Hallelujah
Words Before the Music
For years the songs came before there was ever a way to sing them. Lyrics on the back of work paper, notes in a phone, verses that showed up on long drives and quiet mornings. I wrote them down even though I couldn’t sing a note or play a single chord. I just knew they were worth keeping.
So they stacked up, page after page, with no audience and no plan, only a quiet hope that someday they might be more than ink on paper. Backroads Hallelujah is that someday: hallelujahs from broken places, set to a melody at last. The words are mine. The voice is new. The hallelujah is real.
