If you've ever been in that place in life where you're wondering what God, or fate, or whatever has in store for you, then you've felt like I did when I wrote this song. The feeling of, "Okay God, I've done what I thought was right, what I thought would work, but it hasn't... so, now it's on you. What's your plan?" is the thought behind the simple lyric of the chorus, "Hey Lord, what you gonna do with my life?". in the blues tradition, "Hey Lord" features a stripped down arrangement with sparse lyrics, plain vocals, electric slide guitar, and my bare foot stomping the hardwood floor of my studio.
