I actually began this song a few years ago, the inspiration for it just wasn't strong enough to let me finish it and it set like so many unfinished songs in a folder that hardly gets looked at. Nodey awoke in me feelings that I have not felt in so long, she is the inspiration that I needed and I once again picked it up. With her love in my heart I finished it and I dedicate this song to my love, Nodey. I love you

"My Tennessee Sunshine" - Rich
Em G D A
I was runnin' from the storms over Georgia
I was runnin' from the storms of my heart
I was runnin', just runnin' I ain't goin' back
I was runnin' just to get off this track
I found myself in Nashville Tennessee
I found your love, it set me free
The storm clouds cleared away that day
You set my soul free and showed me the way
Now baby I know, you are the one
You set my soul free, I don't have to run
Baby I love you, I'll love you for all time
Baby your my Tennessee, Tennessee Sunshine
Baby you know you got to me
Your love is what has set me free
I know I love you, you love me too
Let's just let our hearts be true
Now baby I know, you are the one
You set my soul free, I don't have to run
Baby I love you, I'll love you for all time
Baby your my Tennessee, Tennessee Sunshine
Please don't ask her to tell ya about how I "introduced" myself to Nashville at 230 am.....sheesh! Let's just say the Nashville police and I are already on,..ahem...good terms?...LOL
Rich and Nodey...congratulations on your newfound love for each other. I have chills from reading the song and the words of your hearts. You make a gorgeous couple!!!
What an inspiration....thank you for reinforcing the fact that there is someone out there for all of us. Have fun with each other...laugh often...love deeply...and you will never lose that special feeling you have now.
You just don't hear enuf of these stories!
I feel I missed out on most of it, but I love the ending!
Here's to hoping we all have a great one to share one day!
happy 4 U!
The above pic is Rich at Tootsies. After several whiskeys and beer, we left the bar and Rich "introduced" himself to Nashville. But that's another story all together.
We ended our wonderful week together with him (gulp) meeting my beautiful daughter(something no man has done in the five years I have been divorced). He took her for her first ride today. I think I have new competition!
How blessed you two are to have found what we all are looking for. Be happy, and treasure each other - every single minute of every single day. But I don't have to tell you that lol - you're doin it already....
I've been reading the forums and have been following your amazing love story. I admire you both sooooo much for hanging in and giving it a 2nd chance - and not giving up. So many people just walk away when the going gets tough, but to persevere when you know what and WHO you want, and then for it actually work out is restoring my faith in "happy endings"....
Lol - And they lived happily ever after. Now how cool is THAT !!!
Nodey, I need to tell you how much respect I have for you. You are soooo genuine and real, and are so wise.... and funny as hail . I'm a hopeless romantic and SUCH a sap lol. But I'd heve it no other way :)
And Rich? Although I haven't seen too many of your posts, I have so much respect for you for admitting that you made a mistake.....a BIG mistake lol - and fixin it so quickly. And to admit it on here, and allow the vulnerable side of you to show, just showed me why Nodey is so smitten lol.
Stay happy and safe you two....
What a rush it's gonna be when he sings his song to ya gf..... I'd LOVE to be there just to see you lookin into his eyes as he looks into yours. But unfortunately I'm in Noo Yawk....but just know that I'm there in spirit -"all "faklempt" for the 2 of ya.
Love ya,
~~~Suze
Lol,thank you Suz.I just feel very blessed to have found Rich. I wasn't looking. He just kind of snuck up on me.
I did get to hear Rich sing my song. I felt like a queen hearing him singing to me while on stage.We then came back to Nashville this past weekend and Rich being the country music fan he is,I took him downtown to Tootsies. A famous honkytonk known for giving many artists their start. We had the most wonderful time Saturday night(aside from me having to beat all the women off Rich). Seems they all liked his biker-cowboy style. One girl even tried to talk him out of his chaps. Lol...he is banned from going downtown without me at this point.
I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and following this wonderful story. I can only pray for all of you to find the same happiness. You all are such loving folks,I have no doubt that there is no way love will escape each one of you.

That is very kool bro!! I can see where Nodey could inspire beautiful thoughts to come out of you. I'm thinkin you're both very lucky people to have found each others hearts. Don't ever forget the magnificance of what you have found and don't ever take it for granted.
Peace to you both, may your souls truely become one which is the ultimate union that we all seek but rarely find.
Awww man..I got all excited when I saw Marietta. I was ready to ride down 77. Then I realized you didn't mean Marietta OHIO...dayum.
I will hear it in melody some day.
Thank you all, I will be playing this song for the first time live Tuesday night at Crystal's on the Square in Marietta. Nodey will be there and we are gonna have an awesome time. I will try to get a recording of the song so I can send it to ya'll. It might take some time as most of my stuff is still in storage in Atlanta. Love all Ya'll...and Nodey...mauuuugh!!
Rich
Rich, brother, you bring a tear to the eyes and a skip in the heart. You have no idea how happy I am for the both of you....and until we meet, love to you both
