💬 Behind the Song
This tune was inspired by those real-life moments at mama’s table and the diner counter, where temptation calls louder than reason. It’s a story of humor, humility, and healing. It’s got a little grit, a whole lotta grace, and the kind of down-home joy only God can stir up in a cowboy’s heart.

Lyrics
[Verse]
Friday night at mama's, plates stacked high with delight,
Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy running bright.
I dug in deep, couldn't help my greedy cues,
Now I'm paying the price for a life of food abuse.
[Verse 2]
Saturday morning, rolled out of bed with a frown,
Stomach's in a knot, got me running up and down.
From barbecue to pie, I just couldn't get my fill,
Now I'm counting the minutes till my next Crohn's pill.
[Chorus]
Oh, too much of a good thing, ain't good for this old soul,
Every bite's a battle, got me losing all control.
Sugar was my weakness, now I'm toughin' through the pain,
Gonna beat this gluttony and never look back again.
[Verse 3]
Sunday at the diner, saw a pie that called my name,
But memories of pain, kept me passing on the game.
It's a rough and rocky road, this journey that I'm on,
Trading sweets for sanity, praying the pain'll be gone.
[Bridge]
And I know it won't be easy, cravings might come and go,
But I'll keep my eyes on better days, the good I'm bound to show.
No more nights of grumbling, or mornings spent in dread,
Just healthy living, happy heart, and peace within my head.
[Chorus]
Oh, too much of a good thing, ain't good for this old soul,
Every bite's a battle, got me losing all control.
Sugar was my weakness, now I'm toughin' through the pain,
Gonna beat this gluttony and never look back again.
