Always happy to help - I consider it an honour to be asked.
Hope the RV project does as smoothly as the song.

That was a fun listen! Up tempo, rocking with an attitude.
Nice write, good mix, good vocals.

My sentiments are the same as Deryk! I can see this song being really rad live and seeing it performed. The RV life sounds like a fascinating dream. Really awesome song, and thank you for sharing.
Cheers,

The "LIVEness" of this song is very apparent, and it was done in the feel of Jackson Brown's old harder edged stuff. Back in the day I used to do a thing to open that was Jackson's "The Road and the Sky" that was connected as a medley to "Redneck Friend", as they were almost the same song anyway. He had David Lindley in his band then playing slide and dobro and I wish I had the opportunity to put a good slide part in there. That led me to the Real Band Wish List request for more slide parts.  The full time RV life is a ways off. I have the RV and budgets dictate that I build it slowly, adding the solar panels and hardware first, then the towing package last. All while somehow funding a bathroom reno in my house. I can't even list it with this 1960s bathroom. Kitchen and living room are done. One bedroom is an office. The master doesn't need anything. The 2 upstairs bedrooms that are right now my music rooms I am not touching. Let the buyer do what they want. When it happens there will be a blog, a youtube channel, and a photo album, so everybody can come with me!

"My RV"---that is a really good lyric hook. Using "V" gives you a lot of rhyming flexibility! And your lyric topic is a fun one that nearly everyone 'of a certain age' can relate to!
Consider posting your lyric...I like to read as I listen along. You have some really nice lyrical choices in there!
Especially like the harp background solo's. Thanks for sharing..hope you can still work musically while your 'wheeling around'!

Hope you can still work musically while your 'wheeling around'! That's the plan! The studio will go with me! AND run on solar power about half the time! I will get the lyrics up for you when I get back to that computer. By request: I was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio The town that's widely known as the home of rock and roll And as I look around, it's really clear That there's really nothing much that’s keepin’ me here So I made a short list of places I might go Well I think I might head South to sunny Florida Or maybe west to Nashville Tennessee As I sat here thinking it occurred to me That I can go anywhere I want to be So I'm gonna be livin' on wheels in my RV I really gotta say that life's been one good ride Though I burned a lot of bridges once I got to the other side Now that I'm retired, my time is mine And I really like waking with the crack of nine To do what I want, whatever I decide So I think I might head out to Arizona Or maybe to the desert in arid New Mexico As long as I have money to pay for gas It really doesn't matter where I plant my a$$ So I'm gonna be livin' on wheels in my RV I packed my clothes and my music gear And made a plan to get the hell outta here No more winter, no more cold I gotta do it now before I get too old I think I might go down to Amarillo The winds of west Texas sound mighty mighty good to me So I'll say my goodbyes and be on my way To take in all the beauty of the USA And I'm gonna be livin' on wheels in my RV

Eddie, I really like this country rocker! The subject hits close to home. I will be out there 6 months out the year in a few more years hopefully. Until then I will follow your travels with great interest. I am sure we will cross paths in the future, Tom

Eddie, I love the song, and I strongly identify with the sentiment. My wife and I just got home from Arizona. Trust me, you will love it. I've considered doing an album of traveling songs based on the RV life. I think you might have a good start on that with this one.

All this talk of living on the road makes me want to cross the Atlantic,
buy an Airstream and hit the trail.
Maybe meet up with my old pal Eddie and do some gigs in the desert.
At least get away from all this English rain!
