“Lovin’ You Left To Do” Lyrics:

All I can say

I’ve tried damn near everyday

To forget about you yeah forget all about ya baby

I’ll tell you the truth about time

It heals every heart except for mine

One of these days I’m gonna get back to feeling right.

But right now it’s cold

On your favorite side of the bed

And it’s gettin’ old

Wakin’ up to your voice still in my head

I promised myself I’d get back to

Who was before I met you

But I still got a whole lotta lovin’ you left to do

Feel like I’m on replay When I kneel down to pray

I wonder if gods getting tired of hearing the same

One day I’ll find

The courage to climb

This mountain of sorrow and make it to the other side

Right now it’s cold

On your favorite side of the bed

It’s gettin’ old

Waking up to your voice still in my head

I promised myself I’d get back to

Who was before I met you

But I still got a whole lotta lovin’ you left to do

Right now it’s cold

On your favorite side of the bed

It’s gettin’ old

Waking up to your voice still in my head

I promised myself I’d get back to

Who was before I met you

But I still got a whole lotta lovin’ you left to do

But I’ll keep chuggin’ along till I make it through

This tunnel from the past that's looking like it’ll last

Forever

Right now it’s cold

On your favorite side of the bed

It’s gettin’ old

Waking up to your voice still in my head

I promised myself I’d get back to

Who I was before I met you

But I still got a whole lotta lovin’ you

Still got a whole lotta lovin’ you

Still got a whole lotta lovin’ you left to do

About Reid T. Dillon

From the moment he first picked up a guitar at 14, acclaimed guitarist Reid T. Dillon has been forging his own path, one built on raw talent, relentless passion, and an unshakable dedication. Hailing from Farmersville, TX, he carries the spirit of small-town grit in his music, shaping a sound that is, in his own words, “real, raw, and unapologetic.”

Though he earned a degree in chemical engineering from Texas Tech University, Reid’s true calling was always music. It was in Lubbock where he joined forces with Cleto Cordero, Jason Albers, Jonathan Saenz, Wesley Hall, and Adam Gallegos to form Flatland Cavalry, a band that would go on to leave its mark on the Texas country and Americana scene. As Flatland Cavalry’s sound grew from intimate stages to renowned venues, so did Reid’s connection to music, not just as a guitarist, but as a songwriter. He found himself drawn to the craft, eager to tell his own stories and carve out a voice that was undeniably his own.

Reid’s music is deeply rooted in authenticity, fusing the storytelling warmth of country with the unfiltered edge of classic and southern rock. His songs capture the feeling of open highways, late-night conversations, and the kind of quiet moments that linger long after the last note fades.
