Talkin' To Myself

- (c) T Culler Bennett ASCAP

Like a darkened moon, Twas the month of June

Running circles in my mind

Pressures hitting me, like a tragedy

What I said was so unkind

How could I be so mean, the words I chose obscene

What I said was meant for me, and not for you

I was talking to myself,

I've been digging my own, Personal well

And I just fell in deep,

And just feel like I could crawl

Underneath this shell

It wasn't you, it's me

I hope that you can see, Clearly

That I was talking to myself.

How can I be so wrong?

Why are you so strong?

What is caged inside of me?

You give a Second chance, in every circumstance

A truer friend you could not be

I only try to hide, what isn't good inside.

I sure need you much more than you are needing me

I was talking to myself,

I've been digging my own, Personal well

And I just fell in deep,

And just feel like I could crawl

Underneath this shell

It wasn't you, it's me

I hope that you can see, Clearly

That I was talking to myself.

I've put my foot inside my mouth, one too many times

Will you forgive what I said?

Change your mind...

I was talking to myself,

I've been digging my own, Personal well

And I just fell in deep,

And just feel like I could crawl

Underneath this shell

It wasn't you, it's me

I hope that you can see, Clearly

That I was talking to myself.

Steering Wheel Album Lyrics:

Every Now and Then

- (c) T Culler Bennett ASCAP

I’m keeping closer to my vest, I am scared

I must confess, Just how did you find me here

There is nothing I can say, I know I can’t push

You away, You’ve been showing me for years

I wish I could hide my face

I need a strengthening of my faith

Cause…. Every now and then I’m missing what’s right in front of me

Every now and then I struggle to believe

Every now and then I’m weaker, You see

I must admit, now and then, I feel so empty Whoa, Whoa, Whoa

I am hoping this will pass, these feelings, surely will not last,

Can You make them go away

I’m feeling locked inside this place,

Wanting so much to erase, what You see here on display

I wish I could hide my face

I need a strengthening of my faith

Cause…. Every now and then I’m missing what’s right in front of me

Every now and then I struggle to believe

Every now and then I’m weaker, You see

I must admit, now and then, I feel so empty Whoa, Whoa, Whoa

Am I really not alone here

I can’t make it on my own here

Cause…. Every now and then I’m missing what’s right in front of me

Every now and then I struggle to believe

Every now and then I’m weaker, You see

I must admit, now and then, I feel so empty Whoa, Whoa, Whoa

Haley

- (c) ASCAP T Culler Bennett

She sits cold in her room, she feels her life, sinking

Her shallow thoughts, how they consume, a strangled mind not thinking

All alone, she wipes away the tears. She never dreamed she’d throw away the years

Haley she doesn’t understand, this part of her plan

She believes, this is how it’s gonna be

Haley we only hope you know, there’s One who loves you so

He’s there, He cares….Haley

It was not so long ago, she was the one and only

Now she really wants to know, if it will always be this lonely

She doesn’t have a place that she can turn

She wonders if, there’s anyone concerned

Haley she doesn’t understand, this part of her plan

She just believes, this is how it’s gonna be

Haley we hope you only know, there’s One who loves you so

He’s there, He cares….Haley

She’s losing hope, she’s at the end of her rope

Will someone see, will someone come and rescue, Haley

Haley she doesn’t understand, this part of her plan

She just believes, this is how it’s gonna be

Haley we hope you only know, there’s One who loves you so

He’s there, He cares….Haley

Without You

- (c) T Culler Bennett ASCAP

Not a day goes by, without You by my side

Not much more I need to say

Sometimes I can't see, just where You're taking me

But I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am not alone

I'm not on my own.... 'cause

I am helpless, I am hopeless, I am weary, dejected,

I am desp'rate, when I'm without You

I am speechless, I am joyless, I am lonely, disconnected

I am dying, nothing without You

Without You

Here's what I remember, just a good pretender, never showing who I was

But there's now a diff'rence, I am not indiff'rent,

I am new and it's because

I am not alone

I'm not on my own.... 'cause

I am helpless, I am hopeless, I am weary, dejected,

I am desp'rate, when I'm without You

I am speechless, I am joyless, I am lonely, disconnected

I am dying, nothing without You

Without You

I wanna see Your face. I wanna know Your ways

Your love, it quenches me

I am helpless, I am hopeless, I am weary, dejected,

I am desp'rate, when I'm without You

I am speechless, I am joyless, I am lonely, disconnected

I am dying, nothing without You

Without You

Pray

- (c) T Culler Music ASCAP

I don't know where this will go, but I don't mind the tryin'

Heaven knows the way it goes, and there's no point denyin'

Nothing ventured nothing gained, I'll never go through life restrained

There's nothing more I won't do for You

When it's out of control, when I can't turn the tide

And there's no other answer and I've barely got my pride,

When the pressure seems to hard to bear, no one really seems to care

I get down on my knees today, I bow down my head and pray

No one said inside my head, that living would be easy.

Trials come and trials go but still I'll go on pleasing,

There's never been an easy road to carry this worlds' heavy load,

But Jesus said He will carry you

When it's out of control, when I can't turn the tide

And there's no other answer and I've barely got my pride,

When the pressure seems to hard to bear, no one really seems to care

I get down on my knees today, I bow down my head and pray

Days will come and days will go when you don't have the feeling

And you can't tell how you can carry on

He said trust your heart and let it go, and you just keep believin' in Me, in Me

There

- (c) T Culler Bennett ASCAP

I think I'm lost in a dream

Like I lose my mind in an ill forgotten scene

It's like my life's feeling out of control

I must awake, or risk losing it all

That's when I hear You, I can feel You

There, You are there, always waiting for me

There, You are there, hold my hand, don't let go of me

I know, I know, Heaven waits for you

I know, I know, I want Heaven too

Time it's passing me by,

If I had one wish, there'd be no regrets tonight

I've wasted far too many years down this road

Without a care, trying to make it on my own

Then I hear you, I can feel You

There, You are there, always waiting for me

There, You are there, hold my hand, don't let go of me

I know, I know, Heaven's there for you

I know, I know, I want Heaven too

I'm tired of waiting for the day,

When the moments rights, and my fears begin to fade

And You say life can last forever

And You say You can make it better

That's when I hear you. I can feel You

There, You are there, always waiting for me

There, you are there, hold my hand, don't let go of me

I know, I know, Heaven's there for you.

I know, I know I want Heaven too.

"In You"

For my daughter, Rhen

My heart’s desire, to stay on, the narrow way, I’m upon

Not to question where you’re leading, my life’s in your hands

And I’m seeing You, for who You are

I’m safe, here in Your arms

In You, all things are possible... In You, I can move mountains

In You, I am alive again... In You, my life makes perfect sense

The beauty of a child who sees, the wonder of, such pure belief

Calls to me from deep inside, and draws me here, to Your side

Your love, rains down, where peace, and joy are found

In You, all things are possible... In You, I can move mountains

In You, I am alive again... In You, my life makes perfect sense

And when Your love surrounds me, I find strength

When everything consumes me, Lord bring me

To Your place of mercy

Forgive me, when my life isn’t pleasing

To You

In You, all things are possible

In You, I can move mountains

In You, I am alive again (Your name is Holy)

In You, I can move mountains (You are my heart)

In You, I am alive again

In You, my life makes perfect sense

My life makes perfect sense

Don't Forget About Me

- © T Culler Bennett ASCAP

No one said it would be easy, some things they never are

As I gather my belongings, to fight here in this war

I hope that you enjoy this season, While I'm holding back the pain

Of knowing I’m not with you, one more time again

Oh, Oh, ... Oh, Oh ...

Don’t forget about me, Don’t forget about me

Don’t forget about the sacrifice, that keeps your freedoms free

There are better circumstances, but I wouldn’t change a thing

God knows the best, I will not disagree

So keep me in your prayers and in your dreams

And don’t forget about me

The desert’s wide and it’s not easy, and I cannot find the end

And while I’m waiting in this place, You know I’m picturing us when

The time we had together, was all that we could give

Please remember me my darling, it’s for you that I live

Oh, Oh,

Don’t forget about me, Don’t forget about me

Don’t forget about the sacrifice, that keeps your freedoms free

There are better circumstances, but I wouldn’t change a thing

God knows the best, I will not disagree

So keep me in your prayers and in your dreams

And don’t forget about me

I wake up each day hoping, that maybe it’s not true

That I’ll spend one more waking moment, alone without you

And regrets that once mattered, are fading with the breeze

And replaced with your mem'ries, each time I breathe

Don’t forget about me, Don’t forget about me

Don’t forget about the sacrifice, that keeps your freedoms free

There are better circumstances, but I wouldn’t change a thing

God knows the best, I will not disagree

So keep me in your prayers and in your dreams

And don’t forget about me

Pleasing to You

- (c) T Culler Bennett ASCAP

For my son, Culler.

Just the other night, you were so right, and I knew but I couldn't give in

Wish that I could say, that I'd see the day, but I wonder if you'd understand

Wish you could see, all the things that you've taught me

So, here's to the day when I wake up and say that my boy is pleasing to You

Here's to letting go, and the way that You've showed me my boy is pleasing to You

Pleasing to You

He's tried so hard, and I know that at times he might fail

I know just who You are, You'll be with him, and He will prevail

So, here's to the day when I wake up and say that my boy is pleasing to You

Here's to letting go, and the way that You've showed me my boy is pleasing to You

So, here's to the day when I wake up and say that my boy is pleasing to You

Here's to letting go, and the way that You've showed me my boy is pleasing to You

Pleasing to You

Remember Me

- (c) T Culler Bennett ASCAP

I need You to break my heart... And can You give new starts

Somehow reveal in me... All of Your plans, and what You see

I feel like I'm starting to fall, like You are not there, Not there at all

Remember Me, I once was alone but You captured me

But now I find an empty place, Where You once lived

Remember Me

I try not to fall... I give all I have, I give it all

The weight of these chains I feel inside

Are crushing my faith, and I can't hide

I feel like I'm starting to fall... I feel like You're not there, Not there at all

Remember Me, I once was alone but You captured me

But now I find an empty place, Where You once lived

Remember Me

Feel like I'm starting to fall... It's like You are not there... You're not there at all

Remember Me, I once was alone but You captured me

But now I find an empty place, Where You once lived

Remember Me

Remember Me, I once was alone but You captured me

But now I find an empty place, Where You once lived

Remember Me

I Am Here

-(c) T Culler Bennett ASCAP

Summer Days had just come. Little boys went outside again to play and run.

One day a girl, that I met from down the street,

Said that she loved me, and my mom and dad said she was sweet

But that was long ago, and I don't even know,

But when she moved away, she took with her my heart.

And while I was feeling sad, then over walked my dad,

And he looked at me, and this is what he said...

"She's gone, but I am here...

I know it seems too hard to take the pain when the feelings are so near

But I promise I will be there for you, I'll be the one that you can turn to

And I love you, let me dry away you tears

By your side, I'll be, I am here."

The time came, my little boy found a wife,

His wedding day came far too soon, but it was all a part of life

We did our best, and we tried to teach him well.

He was so much in love his mom and I could surely tell

It was the time that we all know,

And it hurt to let him go, and his mother could barely hold it in

It was time for him to fly, and she knew the reasons why,

And with tears in my eyes I said to her...

"He's gone, but I am here...

I know it seems too hard to take the pain when the feelings are so near

But I promise I will be there for you, I'll be the one that you can turn to

And I love you, let me dry away you tears

By your side, I'll be, I am here."

My wife of 40 years had been my best friend.

It was so hard when I knew that she was near the end.

Then the day came, and to heaven she passed on.

My little boy was there beside her until the time that she was gone

Then he looked up at me, and for the first time I could see,

How much he'd grown up, and he'd turned into a man

He had a look in his eyes, and it caught me by surprise,

When he put his arms around me and he said,

"She's gone, but I am here...

I know it seems too hard to take the pain when the feeling's still so near

But I promise I will be there for you, I'll be the one that you can turn to

And I love you, let me dry away you tears

By your side, I'll be, I am here

I Do, I Will

- (c) T Culler Bennett ASCAP

For my wife, Teri.

I know sometimes you just might, might wonder what tomorrow, it may bring.

Here's one thing I know

As long as we're together, we'll face stormy weather, you and me, fearlessly

God knows as one, we're even greater than two. One heart together joining me and you

I do, I will, take this vow here forever

I do, I'll fulfill your every dream and together

We'll join hands today, from now on we can say,

I do, yes, I will

Today we start a new life, walking as husband and wife.

Faithfully, together we'll see, yeah

The months turn into years. We'll share joy and some tears.

Together we'll be a family. Yeah

And we'll grow stronger as we live through each day.

Holding onto these words as we joyfully say

I do, I will, take this vow here forever

I do, I'll fulfill your every dream and together

We'll join hands today, from now on we can say,

I do, yes, I will

The hands of time will pass before our eyes and each hour we will be together.

We'll raise a family. We'll grow old and grow wise.

And today we begin forever.

I do, I will, take this vow here forever

I do, I'll fulfill your every dream and together

We'll join hands today, from now on we can say,

I do, yes, I will

I will, take this vow here forever

I do, I'll fulfill your every dream and together

We'll join hands today, from now on we can say,

I do, yes, I will

I do, yes, I will.

"...I love you Teri, my beautiful wife that I am so thankful for."

Steering Wheel

- (c) T Culler Bennett ASCAP

I've seen days of hope, days of joy, but I've not seen days like these

I've watched innocent, girls and boys, do just as they would please

Some are lying, some are dying, for a cause they say

Almost hopeless, are we trying, to keep yesterday

So, can we please, take the steering wheel

I am begging please, take the steering wheel

Must have been, my innocence, that blinded tehse two eyes.

But then again, I can't give in, and watch while no one tries

Some say they love you, but they're above you, hopin you won't see

The path we follow, is hard to swallow, living a mystery

So, can we please, take the steering wheel.

I am begging please, take the steering wheel

There is fear, there is pain, there are lives, dying everyday

Fading hope, losing faith, mindless fall, will we remain

So, can we please, take the steering wheel.

I am begging please, take the steering wheel.

So, can we please, take the steering wheel

I am begging please, take the steering wheel.

Album Headline - STEERING WHEEL

You hold in your hands T Culler's newest full length album, "Steering Wheel." In the chaotic maelstrom that our world can sometimes become, isn't it nice to know that we have a stable and loving Father in Heaven who we can turn to in times of great need? This album journeys into some of the most tender places of human emotion and resonates clearly in the hearts and minds of those it touches. In some of the most down-to-earth and common sense lyrics playing on the airwaves today, T Culler reminds us when things spin out of control, we can regain our course if we just "...take the Steering Wheel."

Thank You’s

There are so many people that I have to thank at this point in my journey with music. To my amazing loving family, Teri, Culler, Rhen...you have all believed in me from the very start, and let me do this thing that God has put on my heart. You have been loving through the times when I am gone physically and mentally, and I could not have done any of this without you by my side. I love you all so very much. Frances Baker, without whom so much of this would not be happening without your unending passionate belief in me, in all aspects of my music and life. Without you, I could have given up, but you wouldn't hear of it, and here we are with a recording contract doing this third project. I will always be indebted to you. Rob, Lily, Andrew (Little Dude), and Melody, thank you for allowing your wife and mom to give of her time and energy to this project. Tony and Marilyn Roe, I cannot tell you how amazing you are in your belief in me, without fail. You have been my sounding board for all three records, and your approval meant everything. Your wonderful family, Robert, Ryan and Victoria have been and always will be part of who I am, and I appreciate you all so much. Tony, nobody can dance to these songs like you:) My many church families who have loved and guided me along the way, the Zod Lounge boys who are the absolute best, Scotty who gave me a chance, Tate Music Group for believing in what they heard, the men and women at the Rutledge Shelter who have shown me that sometimes we all need a little help up, my mother, and my father who went to be with the Lord this year, I miss you! Finally, to my Heavenly Father who without Him, nothing is possible. All glory goes to You for whatever great things have been done or will be done through this work. I love you all.
