"Thinkin' bout redemption
Thinkin' bout remorse
Thinkin' bout this old boat
And how it went off course
Thinkin' bout Coast Highway
And California skies
Thinkin' bout a pretty girl
With moonlight in her eyes."
Mr. Burke... this is SUCH a fine write! I could have quoted the entire song - it is strong from start to finish.
The melody - every bit a match for the lyric. Well sung - as always.
Good songwriting? It should be posted and let it speak for itself... Robert Randall Burke - leading by example...

I look forward to each of your songs.
