Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song with Austin, Texas singer songwriter, Darden Smith. We were basically writing the song about my life. I believe it is relate-able across many situations

Song Description

accepting the things that happen in life and doing your best to move on and accept it. Whatever happens, its out of your hands.

Lyrics

Out of My Hands
Written By: Darden Smith and Jamie Trent
I was just a punk kid, made a mess of my life,
My dad said son, there are 2 roads,
The way it looks to me, you are on the wrong one,
So I signed on the dotted line, did a 4 year tour, my life has never been the same,
Wound up in a hospital bed, staring at the ceiling, damn near dead,
Trying to keep score in a losing game,
Chorus
So I try every day, to walk a line just a little more straight,
Live according to a plan, that I cant see, though it was written just for me,
The end, is out of my hands

Cuz from what I've seen, I can live a life so clean, cling to the letter of the law,
Still at the end of the day, it don't matter what I say, and it don't matter, what I saw,

It's all about right, try to turn a little bit more towards the light,
Love my family, love my friends
Cuz the big man up above, he's got his hands on the pulse,
And aint nobody knows, when its gonna end,

Chorus
So I try every day, to walk a line just a little more straight,
Live according to a plan, though I cant see, it was written just for me,
The end, is out of my hands

Bridge
And there's always another snake in the grass
I could hunt it down, or I could just let it pass,

Repeat chorus

Ending/outro
In the end, its all out of my hands,
Its out of my hands.
