So here is a new song inspired by the last great song by Robert Dean called Visions of Woodstock. I told Bob that I got all fired up and heard another song in my head right after I finished hearing his song, and I would send him the results. Here it is Bob.

Walking Backwards
By David Snyder
V1
A man in a Black Mercedes
Just pulled on up on the row
Greasy hair and diamond rings
Tells me things I need to know
I say tell me something lawyer
How do you stand the radio
Sounds like the kind of music
They might be playing down below
All the young kids chasing
Somebody else’s schemes
Repeating worn out phrases
They don't even know what they mean
I look up don’t see the sky
Just neon everywhere
Every cell in me says what the hell
You know I just don’t care
CH:
I’m walking backwards
All the way back down the hill
Away from the big machine
I hate working in this mill
V2
Next I meet the Devil
Dressed in purest white
Pointing to the billboard charts
And a stadium of light
I say tell me something devil
Something don’t feel right
Your music sounds like gunfire
And it’s drowning out the night
And every prophet’s chasing
Somebody else’s schemes
Souls like scattered ashes
In a world of broken dreams
I look up don’t see the sky
Just neon everywhere
Every cell in me says this is hell
And I’m getting out of here
CH 2:
I’m walking backwards
All the way back down the hill
Away from the big machine
I hate working in the mill
Gonna drive back to the lake all right
Gonna get myself baptized
Gonna kiss that pretty girl
You know the one with the angel eyes
I’m walking backwards
Running from this scene
I’m walking backwards
Walking backwards to my dreams
CH 3:
I’m walking backwards
All the way back down the hill
I say to hell with your big machine
I hate working in the mill
Gonna drive back to the lake all right
Gonna get myself baptized
Gonna kiss that pretty girl
You know the one with the angel eyes
I’m walking backwards
Running from this scene
I’m walking backwards
Walking backwards to my dreams
