I hope you enjoy the Premier of “Come To My Life Tonight”. This song was written in 1984 and has finally become a reality to me.
I wrote this song on a greyhound bus on April 12th that year. I was working as a brakeman for Southern Pacific Railroad and our assignment was to catch a greyhound bus and travel to Carrizozo, New Mexico to bring back a train. As I traveled through a town called Ore Grande, NM, I saw a beam of sunlight fading behind the rocky mountains and it shined on me. I felt like I was being singled out and it felt like God was looking down on me.
That brief moment inspired me to write but I couldn’t put it down on paper because I didn’t have anything to write with, eventually I forgot about it. On the following day the exact same thing happened. It was just like the movie Groundhog Day except this time I had a pen and pad. A lady by the name of Kay Roberts recorded it and placed it on her album.
For 26 years it was stored in a suitcase until Pershing Wells encouraged me to find it and record it. Finding it was a miracle in itself, I felt it was another sign. At this time in my life this song has powerful meaning to me and I want to share it with everyone. Hope you enjoy it.
I wish to thank the following people that performed on this song:
Waylon Thibodeaux – Fiddle Player,
Pershing Wells – Lead guitarist/Producer,
Terry Chaisson – Back up Vocals.
