ROAD WEARY BLUES

It's been a while I know! Please forgive my absence!
I have been doing a lot of travel foreign and domestic. Also
a lot of time spent on doctor visits all contributing to a lack
of inspiration to create music. Excuses, excuses I know.
Anyway I decided to force myself to sit down and come up with something
hopefully worthy of your time to listen.
This is one I had an idea for a few years ago and decided to re-write
lyrically and melodically! It's a song for the trucker/salesman/musician out on the road
chasing a dream or just making a living while at the same time sacrificing a home life.
I've been there and lived it!
I sincerely thank you for having a listen. The Bandcamp upload allows up to 10 listens
without forcing a purchase decision!

****A late edit**** A few have mentioned the busy (crowded) lyrics. This is a work in progress, and I continue to make minor adjustments here and there. I have a reason for what I've said and plan to keep the vast majority of this intact. I was already on the bubble with some of the words and had planned to make minor changes!

Two lane road late at night
Moonlight shining down through my window bright
Rays of light penetrating my soul
Perpetual motion of the wheels takes a toll
Been on this journey since I don't know when
Can't remember where I'm going or where I've been
Distant neons fixed in my gaze
Glow in the dark illuminate my way
If you care to know
Hear this tired old soul

I don't want I don't want
To sing these road weary blues
Take me home out here I've learned
When you think you win sometimes you lose

Loneliness is the admission fee
The price I've paid to chase a crazy dream
I must untangle from this web I weave
Nothing good here now that I perceive
I hear a voice that I used to know
Now disrupting my status quo
The indecision that my heart endures
Has made the way out feel so unsure
Though the road goes on
I'm just standing still

I don't want I don't want
To sing these road weary blues
Take me home out here I've learned
When you think you win sometimes you lose

I don't want I don't want
To sing these road weary blues
Take me home out here I've learned
When you think you win sometimes you lose
