🔥 About the Song
Welcome to Mirror Check — a heart-hugging country melody from The Christian Cowboy Life. This song is all about accountability, spiritual honesty, and growth. Whether you’re driving down an old dirt road or sitting in quiet reflection, it’s a reminder that sometimes the person we need to fix… is the one in the mirror.
🕊️ “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.” – Psalm 139:23
💬 Behind the Song
Mirror Check was written during a season of deep frustration—especially with people in the church who weren’t living up to what they preached. But instead of confronting them directly, this song became a way of turning the lens back on myself. It’s a musical confession that sometimes, we’re the common denominator in our own messes.
It’s got a little grit, a whole lotta grace, and the kind of down-home truth only God can stir up in a cowboy’s heart.

Let this truth ride with you: honest self-reflection is tough, but it’s one of the most freeing and faithful things we can do.
Lyrics
[Verse]
Woke up this morning, heart full of blame,
Same old problems and none of them changed.
Folks round here just ain't treating me right,
But every face looks familiar in the night.
[Verse 2]
Met a stranger down at the local bar,
Sipped my whiskey and showed him my scars.
But he had the same old story to tell,
Maybe the problem ain't everyone else.
[Chorus]
Mirror check, it's time to face the truth,
Can't keep pointing fingers, here's the honest proof.
The common thread is staring back at me,
It's time to fix the man only I can see.
[Verse 3]
Lost a lover, she walked out the door,
Said she couldn’t take my ways anymore.
Thought she was wrong, but now I see clear,
I’ve been running from the answer in the mirror.
[Verse 4]
Every job I’ve taken ends the same,
Boss says I got myself to blame.
Stormed out again, but now it’s plain,
The reflection shows a man who needs to change.
[Chorus]
Mirror check, it's time to face the truth,
Can't keep pointing fingers, here's the honest proof.
The common thread is staring back at me,
It's time to fix the man only I can see.
