Midnight Barn Studio
An independent songwriter and producer creating original blues, rock, cinematic, and genre-bending music through Midnight Barn Studio. Drawing on decades of experience with early internet radio, and digital broadcasting, I am especially interested in the future of independent and AI-assisted music, artist discovery, curation, and new ways for original music to reach listeners.
View Creator →Ode to the old 1977 K20 truck I use to own and love. Wrote this song last winter when my new Ram truck's heater went out again and pissed me off, 30 below zero temps, 2nd newer RAM truck to fail at heating. $1800 repair 10hrs labor...... -------------------------- Ain’t got no touchscreen dashboard glow Just a knob that says "defrost" and it barely goes But that ol’ V8 still roars alive When I turn the key in this four wheel drive No power windows, gotta crank ‘em down No backup cam when I look around The seat don’t heat, but it’s torn just right To cradle my butt through the coldest night They laugh at my ride like it’s some old joke But she starts in the cold and never left me broke Heater works just fine Radio’s stuck on ninety five No Bluetooth here, but I got drive No brake assist but I'll still survive No apps, no maps, no screen to scroll But I’m warm and loud and in control Snow’s comin’ down, but I don’t mind This rustbucket ride? Heater works just fine Got my flannel coat and my lucky shoes Gonna bowl a 90, drink a few cold brews Truck bed’s full of snow and tools and pride But them Michelins grip like a county fair ride Forget your fancy wireless dash I got steel and grit and a tank full of gas Heater works just fine Radio’s playin’ “Sweet Caroline” No GPS, but I know the road To beer and pins and stories told No touchscreen world inside this cab Just frost on glass and a county road map But I got heat and it dont cost me a dime This rust bucket ride Heater works just fine WiFi’s for wimps The fenders sometimes flap But this old truck Gets me there and back Heater works just fine No need for hands free park and drive I’ll trade your tech for my tailgate tunes And locking hubs that still pull me through No app's gonna drive me home tonight Just wiper blades and a dashboard light She ain’t pretty, but she’s mine And damn right, son — Heater works just fine Turn it up, roll ‘em down… Heater’s hot and the beer’s inbound ©2026 - All rights reserved Lyrics – if any, graphics, audio production.
