Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
'Ruth' was originally written and performed for a Creative Arts camp I was leading at Bluestone Camp in West Virginia in 2003. On May 21 2006 the youth group at Beckley Presbyterian Church, WV, did their own version of the play.
Lyrics
Dont send me home In our lives we are forced to made hard decisions Try to figure out whats right or wrong to do Right now I am struggling with the vision Of what my life would have been like without you, Youve been closer than a mother to me, Closer than any sister I every knew, So dont send me back to any old home, Thats not something I can do Im sticking with you sister. I will not go. Oh no, no no. Chorus Dont force me to leave you Dont you send me home Wherever you live thats where Ill live Wherever you go, Ill go Your people will be my people, Your God will be my God, And I will die in the land where you die, So help me Lord, I know that.. I just cant live my life without your love. Packing up your bags you say that you are leaving right now Now listen lady, that is a journey I can never never allow. This land of pain and sorrow holds absolutely nothing for me, All I have here are my bleakest, darkest memories. You lost a husband? Well so did I! My husband - he was also your son, Dont you see our lives they are linked together By ties that cannot be undone. Im sticking with you sister. I will not go. Oh no, no no. Chorus
