Hey everyone here's a song I wrote in the '80s but I am a child of the '50s...love BiaB...it was inspired by the days when we aimlessly 'cruised' in our dad's cars til we could afford our own then we cruised some more, around in circles over and over ...as with all of my songs it is blatantly and unashamedly about Jesus...hope you like.

Cruisin'
words and music Dan Simmons

Ooo...Whop...Bop (X4)

Cruisin'...cruisin' my life away
Misusin' most of my time
Losin'...I was playing a losing game
Wasting away my life
Cruisin' on down the line

Searchin'....searchin' down every road
Hopin'...hopin' to find
Someone...someone to share the load
To give me some peace of mind
Cruisin' on down the line

I didn't know where I was going
I couldn't see cause I was blind
Jesus came into my heart
He gave me a brand new start
He brought direction to my life

Movin'... now I'm movin' down a new highway
I'm groovin' feeling alive
It's so soothin' cause I know He knows the Way
I'm still cruisin' but I'm letting Him drive
Cruisin' with Jesus this time

Ooo...Whop...Bop (X4)

I didn't know where I was going
I couldn't see cause I was blind
Jesus came into my heart
Gave me a brand new start
He brought direction to my life

Now I'm movin' down a new highway
Oh, I'm groovin'...Feelin' alive
It's so soothin'...I know He knows the Way
Well I'm cruisin'...but I'm gonna let Him drive
Cruisin' with Jesus this time!

Ooo...Whop...Bop (X4)
Cruisin'...yeah I'm Cruisin' with Jesus this time!

Hi!

Just listened to your song. We like it a lot! Has a nice retro vibe to it. particularly enjoyed the Rock-a-billy guitar in the background. Great vocal harmony and you captured the mood perfectly.

Very nice, indeed! Best to you,

Alan & Di

Alan and Diana...thanks so much glad you enjoyed it...best regards Dan

Excellent vocal. Loved this song. Well done..

Cruisin'...cruisin' my life away
Misusin' most of my time
Losin'...I was playing a losing game
Wasting away my life
Cruisin' on down the line

Very good writing!! Fun, clever rhyming that is meaningful. This is a nice song and production. As always, your vocals are great! Enjoyed! Take care. Greg

firesong, Great work, Great message!! I thought your vocals were very good and I really appreciate the harmony in the chorus. The choice to use the Baritone guitar was a wise one, it really adds to the song. Thanks, Torrey.
