I feel a whole lot better – Key of A
Verse 1
I was sittin in a tavern drinkin away my blues
When in walked my ex and the one who filled my shoes
It was the first time I’d seen her since she left with him
He spotted me across the bar and looked at me and grinned.
Well I felt my blood boil ya my face turned red
And I jumped right up off that stool and went straight for his head.
Chorus
She broke my heart so I broke his nose and now I feel a whole lot better
It was after I took him to the ground and jerseyed him with his sweater
Well how dare she leave me with a dear john letter
Ya she broke my heart so I broke his nose and I feel a whole lot better
Verse 2
They slapped them handcuffs on me and they read me my rights
They took me to the station and that’s where I spent the night
As I laid there thinking ’bout what I did, I realized that now I was the one wearin that grin
And I know I should be worried any normal man would but hittin him right between the eyes felt so damn good
Chorus
Bridge
Well I’ve been told I’ve got a temper, and I’ve been told to keep it cool
But I don’t like no one playin’ me for a fool
Chorus
Yeah she broke my heart so I broke his nose and I feel a whole lot better

Lonely  - Key of E
 
Written by: Adam Knapp
 
Verse 1
 
I seen an old man on the street the other day
he was clinging to a bottle in a paper bag
he looked lonely
It seemed like his soul was locked in a cage
and I couldn’t help but stop and give him some change
He looked lonely, ooooooohhhh he looked lonely
 
Chorus
 
When you’re traveling down this road of life
It can take you for one hell of a ride
But if it throws you off, it can get lonely.
 
You’re going ninety miles an hour when you hit a dead end
And it feels like life has done you in but you ain’t alone if you’re feelin’ lonely
No you ain’t alone if you?re lonely.
 
Verse 2
 
I called up my buddy to talk last night
I could tell in his voice that he’d been cryin’ cause he’s lonely
He hasn’t been the same since his wife left
He can’t sleep at night and he’s so damn depressed
Cause he’s lonely, ooooohhhhhhh ya he’s lonely.
 
Repeat chorus
 
Verse 3
 
I stopped to see my Grandpa, he was sittin’ in his chair in his overalls
He looked lonely
He just loves to talk about the good ol days
but if you mention grandma tears fill his face
cause he’s lonely, ooooohhhh he looks lonely
 
Repeat chorus
 
I seen an old man on the street the other day
He was clinging to a bottle in a paper bag
He looked lonely.

Chorus

When you’re traveling down this road of life
It can take you for one hell of a ride
But if it throws you off, it can get lonely.

You’re going ninty miles an hour when you hit a dead end
And it feels like life has done you in but you ain’t alone if you’re feelin’ lonely
No you ain’t alone if you?re lonely.

Teenage Farm Boy – Key of E
Written by Adam Knapp
Verse 1
I remember way back when I was just a young man workin on the family farm
I was still fairly green only seventeen ya thirty seemed so far.
Now lookin back I have to laugh at all the times I had
My mom and dad raised me good but the whiskey made me bad
Chorus
I was a teenage farm boy and I was up to no good
Draggin trucks and tractors or anything I could
Ya the morning comes early chasin women all night
They dropped me off at the barn and I’d be all right
Verse 2
I’d be crusin in the tractor wearin sunglasses still hurtin from the night before
But needless to say by five o’clock I’d be ready to party some more
And I’d hear momma holler boy you better behave if you’re goin out again tonight
And my daddy’d look at me and just shake his head and say that boy just ain’t right
Chorus
Tag
Between big mud tires and dual exhausts and getting whiskey bent I’d probably be a millionaire
With all the money I spent
Chorus
They dropped me off at the barn and I’d be alright

[Lyrics]


Turned to the Bible – Key of E
 
Verse 1
 
A tan line on his finger marks the spot where a ring was
Ain’t no sense sporting a gold band
When she’s holding on to another man
Jeans and boots, dresses and suits
Are all cleaned out from the closet
As he sits and stares at the empty room
Well he damn near lost it
He goes downstairs to start the day but nothin’ matters anyway
Cause everything the boy worked for has walked out the door
 
Chorus
 
And he cries
Good Lord please help me and pick me up off of my knees
Help me get on with my life, remove from my heart this dull knife
Yeah he’s been hurt real bad and he’s licking his wounds
Since his life’s turned into a possum tune
The only difference is, that he’s turned to the bible and not the bottle
 
Verse 2
 
Where did we go wrong keeps echoing down the hall
He can’t believe there’s no love between these walls
And he’s trying real hard to accept the fact
That the girl he married ain’t coming back
It isn’t easy moving on when you’re together so long
But he’s been going to work and he’s attending church
And he’s never stopped walking the dog
But the one thing you know that’s helped him the most
Is talking to God
 
Chorus
 
And he cries
Good lord please help me and pick me up off of my knees
Help me get on with my life, remove from my heart this dull knife
Yeah he’s been hurt real bad and he’s licking his wounds
Since his life’s turned into a possum tune
The only difference is that he’s turned to the bible and not the bottle
 
Yeah he’s been hurt real bad and he’s licking his wounds
Since his life’s turned into a possum tune
The only difference is, that he’s turned to the bible and not the bottle
 
He’s turned to the bible

Biography:

Born in Kingston, Ontario, raised on a dairy farm just north of Kingston near a small village named Seeley’s Bay. As a young boy, Adam would sing along with artists such as Ricky Skaggs and Randy Travis while working the fields. It wasn’t until he was 18 that he took his music more seriously and listened to artists such as Alan Jackson and Brooks and Dunn for inspiration. Adam entered a local country singing contest in 1999 and won. One of the judges was a skilled guitar craftsman and gave Adam guitar lessons after the competition ended. Adam picked up on his favorite instrument quickly and began performing locally and across south eastern Ontario. Adam has enjoyed and witnessed many life experiences that have inspired him to write his own material. From triumph and tragedy, Adam writes about what he knows and his music is relatable to many. Adam’s inventory of music can make you laugh, cry or just have a good ol’ time.

Adam is a member of SOCAN, the Songwriters Association of Canada, CCMA and NSAI.
