“This album is dedicated to his friend and producer Peter Nelson… his soul will forever live in these songs that will be handed down from generation to generation for years to come … a story like this adds to the many adventures this artist has lived in his life.
These experiences and emotions allow him to find the inspiration to compose his music.
A sincere, introspective style, a constant search for strong emotions, because this is the only way Terry K 3TL knows how to express himself artistically.
You need to listen to this album several times and I suggest you focus on the lyrics and arrangements that help these beautiful words to become poetry” – Edgar Allan Poets
“There is an authentic country-folk musicality through the feelings and raw soul of Terry K 3tl.
The poetic and splendid texts take us into a whirlwind of emotions, which sends us back to our best memories, to the love for the deceased and those who accompany our lives. The rocking chords and the artist’s voice take us to the guts from start to finish.
A wonderful musical gift. Dive into this wonderful and poignant “Tell Me A Story”:
“This heavily folk-acoustic-country song is among the biggest releases this year, with its soaring emotionality and epic sounding tone that gradually escalates according to the narrative. “To A Friend – A Celebration Of Life” is a beautiful hymn to friendship , one of those songs that are prescribed to stigmatize your place in history! It really is impeccable work” … – Roadie Music
“The songs are joyful, heart wrenching, indecisive, and brutally honest – just like life. Here’s our review of “Henry Bought a Gun.”
First off, love the fact that this tracks in at over seven minutes. When you see that you know you’re in for a tale where nothing is held back. Instrumentation is straight forward and well produced – two acoustic parts, banjo, electric slide, B3, bass and drums – nothing fancy, keeping the focus where it should be, on the story. If you’re a fan of true, older country, this is going to be right up your alley. This is Kris Kristofferson, with a big of Gordon Lightfoot and George Jones.” – Phantom Power Music
“Promised Land closes the album. A collaboration with Stevens Sisters, it’s a richly atmospheric piece that revisits the themes of death introduced by 15’s Up. It’s the perfect ending.
I continue to be impressed with Terry and his collective. Their music eschews bells and whistles, instead choosing to be direct, emotive and relatable. You can’t buy the kind of experience Terry has, and the care he brings to his craft. Tell Me A Story is a must-listen, no matter who you are.” – York Calling

Nobody knows me nobody cares
Nobody laughs at the clothes that I wear
Nobody answers when I call home
I walk the floors at night can’t sleep alone.
No-one to hold my hand in the dark
No -one beside me on a walk in the park
No- one to laugh with no-one makes me smile
Guess I’lI get used to being alone in a while
How it really happened
I’ll never know
Now I’m so lonely
You know I loved her so I don’t go out much, I don’t answer the phone
Leave the lights out and seldom leave home
Started smoking and drinking all day
Don’t see my friends, they just get in the way.
Break –
Ilay a lone each night wish I could hold her I should try and fight But I’m so lonely
got the blues every night. I know they’re talking – don’t really care
My life ain’t worth much if she isn’t here Should get it together, Lord knows I’ve tried
Tain’t been right since the day that she died
Nobody knows me nobody cares
Nobody laughs at the clothes that I wear
Nobody answers when I call home
I walk the floors at night can’t sleep alone.
How it really happened
I’ll never know
Now I’m so lonely
You know I loved her so
I feel her presence I know she’s not there
Sometimes I see her on the dark midnight air Wish I was dreamin’ that it all can’t be right
But I’m so lonely got the blues every night
Nobody to laugh at my jokes
Share some wine with over dinner
Have a laugh share a story
Folks think I be crazy
They might be right
But I’m so lonely I got the blues every night

Promised Lands featuring (insert)
Will you come to my funeral say something nice
Will you wear the black dress And make ‘em look twice Will you come to my funeral see to my tie
I got no one to check care why I died
Will you come to my funeral say something good
Will you hide in the back
In black glasses and hood Yes, it’s true that it’s over But please don’t be blue
If you can, try to smile
Once it’s over, it’s over That’s how it goes When it’s It’s over, it’s over End of the show I’m here waitin’ in a cardboard crate
So please baby hurry, oh please don’t be late
When you come to my funeral They might call you a liar
But say something nice Before they toss me in the fire When you come to my funeral take your time makem’ wait I’m goin up in flames
On our last date
Now we’re back together, how it’s meant to be
Like the initials in the heart on that big maple tree Mistakes yeah we made ’em but you weren’t one of mine The biggest was yours ‘cause you were too kind
Will you come to my funeral say something nice
Will you wear the black dress And make ‘em look twice

Of course it still matters
Even though I say it don’t
I know it’s gonna hurt
Even though I say it won’t
Of course it still matters
And we can try
Maybe this time no one needs to cry
Not all your fault
Turned out the way it did
Not all your fault
Nothing special that you said
If I was so unhappy
Should have told you why
But baby if you think that it could work‘i’m willin’ to try
Chorus
A Million little pieces – How you left my heart A Million little pieces – Not sure where to start A Million little pieces – Shouldn’t be so hard What tools will I need – To mend a broken heart
Break
Don’t know what changed Don’t know how or when All I know Is here we go again
You say it will be different
You know you might be right
‘cause this time I don’t have a heart to break Chorus
A Million little pieces – Not sure where to start
What tools will I need – To mend a broken heart
A Million little pieces – How you left my heart
A Million little pieces – didn’t think it could be so hard.
Of course it still matters Even though I say it don’t I know it’s gonna hurt Even though I say it won’t Of course it still matters And we can try
Maybe this time no one needs to cry
Maybe this time no one needs to no one needs to cry Maybe this time no one needs to no one needs to cry Maybe this time no one needs to no one needs to cry Maybe this time no one needs to no one needs to cry no one needs to cry

I’ve waited so long to tell you so here we go I love you darlin’ I’m sure you know
I gotta say everyday
Must be the way that you kiss.
I still remember the day that we met
You started talking haven’t stopped yet
But baby I love you wiilin’ to bet
It must be the way that you kiss
Chorus
Your lips are so tender eyes are so bright Nothing compares with you holding me tight. Don’t know just why but I’ll hazard a guess It must be the way that you kiss
Sitting together your hand in mine
Does straight to my head sweeter than wine Some kind of magic I can’t define
Anticipation don’t know how it starts But Oh that feeling deep in my heart so excited got me on the run
Kisses like yours got me undone
Tell me again say that you’re mine
We’ll be together ‘til the end of time
So please don’t stop Let’s not waste time It must be the way that you kiss
Chorus
When you’re not around I feel so alone Counting the hours ’til you’re back home. I can’t wait for the end of the day
It must be the way that you kiss
must be the way that you kiss
must be the way that you kiss
must be the way that you
must be the way that you
must be the way that you kiss

Take this heart and break it I don’t feel it any more
It don’t really matter
It never has before
Take this heart and break it
I can’t use it any more
Let me down so many times
I can’t trust it like before
Take this heart and break it
I won’t need it any more
‘cause if I feel love comin
I’ll turn my back and close the door Chorus
You have such a pretty smile
Eyes all sparkling blue
I’d like to think that what you say
Is honest and true
Words of good intention
Can be taken so many ways
So take my heart and break it
It’s a price I’m willin’ to pay
Bridge

So many times before
Go ahead, give it your best shot Whats one more
Still believe that love can find a way Now you’re here
Could be my lucky day
Break

Let me down so many times
I can’t trust it any more

Take me to the promised land
Lead me take my hand
Take me to the promised land again I was once there before
To return I swore
Take me to the promised land again
Verse 1
I searched for silver found gold Borne the wrath and felt the cold Heard stories too fantastic to believe
I’ve heard laughter, seen pain Walked in sunlight, drowned in rain Now I’m on my own again
Verse 2
Live my life the way I choose
Make mistakes break the rules
Done many things that others never do Won and lost and dammed the cost Upon the sea of dreams was tossed Shattered dreams behind me in my wake
Chorus
Take me to the promised land
Lead me take my hand
Take me to the promised land again I was there once before
To return again I swore
Take me to the promised land again
Verse 3
Some say I will burn in hell
Those who don’t I wish them well
Either way I don’t really care
Life is what you make it son
One more round and then she’s done Please take me to the promised land again
Take me to the promised land
Lead me let me take your hand
Take me to the promised land again I was there once before To return again I swore
Take me to the promised land again Take me to the promised land
Lead me let me take your hand Take me to the promised land again I was there once before
To return again I swore
Take me to the promised land again Take me to the promised land again Take me to the promised land again

I was born in a hard rock town
Only two choices out or down
So I thought I’d take my chances and I packed my bag to leave
Last thing I remember that my folks said
Was you’ll always have a place to rest your head So don’t you worry son, good luck, and God speed Chorus:
So come on baby hold on tight
There’s only me and you here tonight
Come on darlin’ let’s reminisce ’bout that hard rock town
Some of my friends stayed behind
Spent their lives in the smelters and mines Some of them chose the open road like me
Can’t say who was right and who was wrong
But the life of them that stayed behind seemed hard and long Of the ones that left, I can only speak for me
Chorus: So come on baby hold on tight
There’s only me and you here tonight
Come on darlin’ let’s reminisce ’bout that hard rock town
Break
Had my share of ups and downs
Mistakes and breaks
A little give and here and there a little take
I can only hope and pray that for all the rest The choices they made were for the best
‘Cause life ain’t easy when it’s lived in a smelter or mine
Chorus:
So come on baby hold on tight There’s only me and you here tonight Come on darlin’ let’s reminisce ’bout that hard rock town So come on baby turn out the light
Close our eyes and dream tonight
Good or bad we’ll dream ‘bout that hard rock town
So come on baby hold on tight
There’s only me and you here tonight
Come on darlin’ let’s reminisce ’bout that hard rock town So come on baby turn out the light Close our eyes and dream tonight Good or bad we’ll dream ‘bout that hard rock town ‘bout that hard rock town

I was sittin’ in a hotel bar west of Thunder Bay
Rolled in from Toronto, spend the night be on my way I was headed to Vancouver, just a restin’ for the night No-one to the left of me, no-one on the right
Just the way I like it, nice and quiet all alone
Wasn’t lookin’ for no trouble…so far from home
Bartender asked what I would have said I was drinkin’ corn Asked him for the bottle was about to be reborn
Hardly just got started only had a drink or two
There she was bedside me where she came from heaven knew She said I like your style, can I talk to you a bit?
I have a proposition is it ok if I sit?
Lookin’ for adventure and I really like your car
I figure that together we could go real far
I didn’t have to think much no delay in my reply
Didn’t even bother asking for her reason why
Chorus:
I said baby take a ride
Baby take a ride
C’mon take a ride with me
You can come along any old time Baby take a ride with me
I said baby take a ride
C’mon take a ride
Baby take a ride with me
Hop right in we’ll see what we can see Baby take a ride with me
Well that’s the way it started
Let me tell you how it ends
Turns out we were destined to be just more than friends We pulled into Vancouver and we turned right back around All the way to Thunder Bay and bought another round
Chorus:
I said baby take a ride
Baby take a ride
C’mon take a ride with me
You can come along any old time
Baby take a ride with me
I said baby take a ride
C’mon take a ride
Baby take a ride with me
Hop right in we’ll see what we can see Baby take a ride with me
Baby take a ride with me Baby take a ride with me

She’s queen of broken hearts
If you look close you’ll see the scars Her soul’s been battered, she’s torn apart Queen of broken hearts
Well, he was just like all the rest Put her love to the test
But her love been misplaced Came back to hit her in the face
So she chose to be alone
She didn’t care where she called home Oh she knew what she must do
One more hit and she’d be through
She’s queen of broken hearts
If you look close you’ll see the scars Her soul’s been battered, she’s torn apart Queen of broken hearts
She hears the ticking of the clock And she knows that she should stop But it’s easier said than done
Some day soon the time would come
She just needs a little time To get her life in line
But the only time she has Is on the corner next in line
She’s queen of broken hearts
If you look close you’ll see the scars Her soul’s been battered, she’s torn apart Queen of broken hearts
Yeah, it’s a lonely place to be Living this reality
But there’s one thing that’s for sure The poison’s better than the cure
Well, she heard it all before To herself she swore
That she’d rather be alone
Than spend another night at home
She’s queen of broken hearts
If you look close you’ll see the scars Her soul’s been battered, she’s torn apart Queen of broken hearts
She’s queen of broken hearts
If you look close you’ll see the scars Her soul’s been battered, she’s torn apart Queen of broken hearts
Her soul’s been battered, she’s torn apart Battered, torn apart
Soul is battered, torn apart
Queen of the broken hearts Queen of the broken hearts Queen of the broken hearts

Well I got me some schoolin’ and I thought I’d learn’t enough To keep me outta trouble pay the bills when times got tuff
I never did image all the things that might transpire
When I fell in love the first time, was too young to play with fire
I wasn’t very well equipped to strike out on my own But at 18 I decided I would leave my home
A travelin’ man is what I thought I would like to be But that life and love can mess things up is a certainty
Chorus:
Detour…should have noticed all the signs Detour…while I still had time to change my mind Detour…now, I’m out here on my own
Detour, detour
Now as I look back my best laid plans kinda sorta all worked out Most times I think I got most things kinda figured out
Just when it seems that everything has really worked out swell
Love rears it’s head and don’t you know the whole thing goes to hell
Chorus:
Detour…should have noticed all the signs Detour…while I still had time to change my mind Detour…now, I’m out here on my own
Detour, detour

Wish I could write a song for you You could sing what you can’t say A melody to make it easy
Wash all the heartache away
Wish I could write a song for you
You could sing when you feel blue
The kind of a song that makes you smile
The kind of a song that helps you pull through
Chorus:
I wish I could but I can’t
Thought I would but I won’t
‘cause the only one that can write your song is you
Wish I could write a song for you
Kind of a song makes your dreams all come true If I could write that song for you
I’d be in that dream with you
Chorus:
I wish I could but I can’t
Thought I would but I won’t
‘cause the only one that can write your song is you
Bridge:
A song can say what you want it to say Be what you want it to be
But unless you write it yourself
It can never be real
Wish I could write a song for you
You could sing what you can’t say
A melody to make it easy, wash all the heartache away I wish I could but I can’t
Thought I would but I won’t
‘cause the only one that can write your song is you
Wish I could write a song for you You could sing what you can’t say

I’ve spent most of my life somewhere in between
Not quite sinner not quite saint mostly gracious never mean But the middle road I’d taken left me wanting more
So one day I just woke up, tried another door
I wandered blind and foolish often stumbling in the night
I thought I knew the difference between what was wrong and right I was conscious but indifferent to the troubles I had seen
In the times that I had traveled, all the places I had been
Chorus:
On the other side of darkness
Shines a bright and clear light
And the feeling that I get
Makes me tremble with delight There are many roads to choose from But only one that’s right
On the other side of darkness
Shines a bright and clear light
I knew that I was missing something vital to my soul What it was I couldn’t tell you but it left my spirit cold A meaningless existence seemed my cross to bear
My back pages all were empty and I didn’t care
Then there it was before me the way was shining clear
It had always been there I just could not see
We all can make a difference unimportant large or small
In the better world that’s coming we’ll be counted one and all
Chorus:
On the other side of darkness
Shines a bright and clear light
And the feeling that I get
Makes me tremble with delight There are many roads to choose from But only one that’s right
On the other side of darkness
Shines a bright and clear light
There are many roads to choose from But only one that’s right
On the other side of darkness
Shines a bright and clear light

Every day starts out the same
Since you quit me baby all I have is pain Waitin’ for night to fall
Sittin’ in the dark, waitin’ for your call
I knew that it was time
So I took what I could carry
And the memory of you
Wasn’t much I left behind
My reflection in the mirror, the lonely in my eyes
Sunshine don’t bring happiness and it can’t dry my tears
Sorrow can’t be cleansed with rain, I’ve loved you all these years Searchin’ for an answer ‘cause I just can’t explain
My voice echoes off the pavement I call your name in vain
If I only had one choice
Well I guess that I’d choose you
But now I’ve got a second chance
Have to take a real hard look not sure what I’ll do
Well, I wonder where the time went…how we wound up here Cast aside the ones we’ve loved and all that we held dear Searchin’ for an answer ‘cause I just can’t explain
My voice echoes off the pavement I call your name in vain
Every day starts out the same
Since you quit me baby all I have is pain Waitin’ for night to fall
Sittin’ in the dark, waitin’ for your call
I call your name
I call your name
My voice echoes off the pavement I call your name in vain I call your name
I call your name
My voice echoes off the pavement I call your name in vain

She’s so pretty, she’s so smart
She’s got both hands on my heart You heard me right that’s what I said She stole my heart I lost my head
I was down at the bar with a couple of friends The door opened wide and she walked in
A pink pair of boots and white short shorts
I knew right then what I was heading for
I told my buddies had to take the chance
So I walked on over and asked for a dance
I said my piece while I looked in her eyes
She checked me out slowly and to my surprise
She said ‘Come on lets go, the nights getting old I need to move ‘cus I’m getting cold
I like what you said now we’ll see if it’s true
I’ll chance this dance with you
Chorus:
So we danced to a 2 step and we danced to a waltz When we danced to the boogie had to find my pulse We danced to the band with the Cajun beat
I knew I’d met the one, make my life complete
We danced and we danced as the night wore on
We kept on dancing when the band had gone
I lost my heart to the white short shorts
And a pink pair of dancin’ boots
Well, we’ve stayed together after all these years Ups and downs, laughter and tears
She’s smarter than ever and she still turns heads An’ I smile when I remember the night I said
Excuse me miss would you like this dance, I’m not sure why but would you take a chance My head is clear and my heart is true
And I’ve fallen in love with you
Chorus:
So we danced to a 2 step and we danced to a waltz
When we danced to the boogie had to find my pulse We danced to the band with the Cajun beat
I knew I’d met the one, make my life complete
We danced and we danced as the night wore on
We kept on dancing when the band had gone I lost my heart to the white short shorts
And a pink pair of dancin’ boots
We danced and we danced as the night wore on We kept on dancing when the band had gone
I lost my heart to the white short shorts
And a pink pair of dancin’ boots
Yeah, a pink pair of dancin’ boots A pink pair of dancin’ boots

If I asked you should we marry Be afraid what you might say So I’ll let the question linger To be asked another day
If I asked you should we marry What if you answered no
Maybe you weren’t ready
When you are please let me know
We both done this dance a time or two before
And understand it’s easy to walk right out the door
If I asked you should we marry And if you answered yes Could we both be happy
Or would we second guess
If I asked you should we marry And you said that it was time
In God’s grace we’d walk together Back in step and back in time
Please don’t ask I have no reason why If you force me, I might make you cry
When I look into your eyes and I see myself reflected
I know it’s been along time and I know that I’ve neglected
To tell you what you mean to me and just how much I love you I love you
If I asked you should we marry
Be afraid what you might say
So I’ll let the question linger to be asked another day

Woke up this morning watched the sky Turn gray to pink to blue
Cigarette’s burning slow coffee’s cold Nothing left to do
You left me at the airport Didn’t say goodbye
I thought I saw you smile girl As tears came to my eyes
Now I know I deserve what comes my way Guess there’s nothing left for me to say Day fades to gray
Day fades to gray
You and I talked yesterday ‘Bout what your plans might be You needed space
I just got in the way
You said you might be back one day But you couldn’t tell me when
We might not be lovers
But I thought we might be friends
Now you know I won’t stand in your way I was wrong, can’t change what I’ve done Day fades to gray
Day fades to gray
Now I see what a fool I’ve been
I just lost my only one, my lover my best friend Thought we were happy be together
‘Til the day we died
The times I left you all alone the times I lied The nights I wasn’t home
You said I never listened
If I had then I‘d have known
You said you’d no more tears to cry It was time for you to go
Now I know I deserve what comes my way Guess there’s nothing left for me to say Day fades to gray
Day fades to gray
Now I see what a fool I’ve been
Just lost my only one, my lover my best friend I hope I’ve learned a lesson now
From everything I’ve done
A million sad I’m sorries
Can’t fix what’s come undone
Now I know I deserve what comes my way
We’ve been through it all before, best be on my way Now I know I deserve what comes my way
Guess I said it all before, ain’t nothing left to say Day fades to gray
Day fades to gray
Day fades to gray
Day fades to gray

Rock me in your arms tonight, baby My world is spinning way too fast Help me to forget the past, baby And rock me in your arms tonight
Rock me in your arms tonight, baby Make the demons go away
Tell me that you’re here to stay, baby And rock me in your arms tonight
I’d be lying if I told you
I always want to be alone
I’d be lying if I told you
You could never be the one Lying if I told you
So don’t believe a single word Pretend that you believe me Say you’ll never go unheard
Rock me in your arms tonight, baby My world is spinning way too fast Rock me in your arms tonight, baby Help me to forget the past
Rock me in your arms tonight
Make the demons go away
Tell me that you’re here to stay, baby And rock me in your arms tonight
Sometimes I can’t stop cryin’ Sometimes I can hardly breathe Sometimes I can’t stop cryin’
So darling could you hold me please Sometimes I can’t stop cryin’
I don’t know the reason why But if you said you loved me I know that I could try
Sleeping with my eyes wide open Dreaming but I think it’s real Rock me in your arms tonight And hold me ‘til I learn to feel
Rock me in your arms tonight, baby My world is spinning way too fast Help me to forget the past, baby And rock me in your arms tonight
Rock me in your arms tonight
Make the demons go away
Tell me that you’re here to stay, baby Rock me in your arms tonight
Rock me in your arms tonight
Rock me in your arms tonight

Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
In the morning when I wake up
You bring me lovin’ in a sweet, sweet cup You don’t stop ‘til you fill me up
Your love is a beautiful thing
Then you ask would you like some more Even better than it was before
You’re the only one that I adore
Your love is a beautiful thing
Chorus:
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
When I dream about you Are you dreaming of me When you open your eyes Do you see what I see
When I open my heart
Do you feel what I feel
When I say that I love you You can trust that it’s all…….
Chorus:
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
Your love is a beautiful thing
It’s a beautiful thing
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
In the evening when the sun goes down Not another soul around
Your heart beating is the only sound Your love is a beautiful thing
When I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord my soul to keep I’m so happy that I’m in so deep Your love is a beautiful thing
When I open my heart When I open my heart When I open my heart
When I open my heart
Do you feel what I feel When I lay beside you
You can trust that it’s all real
Chorus:
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
Your love is a beautiful thing It’s a beautiful thing
