Sweeping My Own Floor
Sweeping My Own Floor is a modern blues song about finding peace in the middle of life's everyday struggles.
Some mornings, the problems of the world feel too big to carry. The dishes are waiting, yesterday is still on your mind, and the road ahead looks muddy. But maybe the answer isn't trying to fix everything all at once.
Maybe it's as simple as sweeping your own floor.
Built on warm blues grooves, honest lyrics, and the quiet wisdom earned through experience, this song is a reminder that real progress often begins with the smallest step. One breath. One task. One good decision at a time.
Because while none of us can fix the whole world...
...we can all make our own little corner of it a little better.

Lyrics
Morning light crawlin’ through the dusty blinds
Coffee gone bitter, got a head full of yesterday’s signs
Sink full of dishes, but the world ain’t mine to save
Just gotta start somewhere, even if it’s small and brave
Radio whisper says the storm rolled past
Road still muddy, but the sky ain’t gonna last
Boots on the doorway, they been waitin’ all week long
Maybe one good step is where a man belongs
I ain’t fixin’ the whole wide world today
Just sweepin’ my own floor, keepin’ trouble away
One slow breath, let the hard times slide
Little bit of daylight comin’ from inside
Neighbor’s dog barkin’, sun climbin’ slow
Old blues record sayin’ “man, you already know”
Can’t outrun sorrow, can’t drink it dry
But you can stand up straight and give the day a try
I ain’t fixin’ the whole wide world today
Just sweepin’ my own floor, keepin’ trouble away
One slow breath, let the hard times slide
Little bit of daylight comin’ from inside
Ain’t about winnin’
Ain’t about fame
Just keep that small fire
Holdin’ your name
I ain’t fixin’ the whole wide world today
Just sweepin’ my own floor, keepin’ trouble away
Step by step, let the dark clouds part
Little bit of rhythm in a workin’ man’s heart
Yeah… little bit of rhythm…
And the road don’t feel so hard.
