Hi All, It's been a bit busy lately, but I thought I would share something new - this is called San Antonio. In my mind today I saw you Running wild through the summer In the heat of the day I can feel California Ready to mourn ya Headed where the dust winds blow San Antonio San Antonio In our days and nights together Living hard through the winter In the cold of the night I left for California Ready to mourn ya Shiver when the desert turns cold San Antonio San Antonio In my old blue jeans and leather Driving fast through the seasons In the mist of the morning I was in California Ready to mourn ya Wishing on the day growing old San Antonio San Antonio All BIAB Tracks: 366: Bass, Electric, Country Ev 065 362: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 362: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 2446: Guitar, Baritone Electric, Background Ev 065 RealDrums: NashvilleEven16 Sidestick HiHat Thanks for listening!

Another lyrical gem, Bob. Clever parallel structure of the verses. The vibrating guitar adds a nice touch to the mood of the song!

Bob, I had been gone for a while also but noticed when I starting posting again that you were missing! Great to hear a new one from you and it's like you haven't missed a beat! It's a great song with what I feel has your signature sound to it! Thanks, Torrey

Like your geographical lyricism, you got a style that resonates with me, I've said that before. Enjoyed hearing it again.

Nice one.... I like this.

U.S. place names have a long history as song titles in Australia: a large part of our cultural cringe.
I assumed it was in the dry lands but had to confirm by looking it up - Texas' 2nd most populated city.
Hwy Ten to the Golden burning state.
A solemn, sad rewrite of Route 66's depression (economic) migration as an emotional leave taking.
Nicely done.
Cheers

Good to hear another enjoyable ballad from you. Nice images, like "Driving fast through the seasons" describing both the driving feel and nature. Simple but beautiful chord progression. Great band, the baritone guitar fits excellently the mood. Your break hasn't affected your excellent vocal delivery.

Cool song & lyrics...
I liked the way you rhymed "California" with "to mourn ya"...
Quite unusual & refreshing...
Your guitar also sounds great on this one...
I enjoyed the listen.

As usual, an evocative combination of lyric and instruments.
