Hi Forum friends. Have not posted in a bit but I have been checking in as often as possible and hearing some GREAT stuff!! This is such an amazing collection of great writers and cool people. This is a song about heartbreak in the heart land. All fictional. It was inspired by the sound of the RTs. It is amazing how inspirational BIAB can be. Hope you enjoy. Would absolutely love to hear what you think. Take care. Greg

SUTHERLAND ROAD

We drove my father’s truck that night, on Sutherland Road

Our hearts were filled with passion, emotions exposed

We swore undying love we never would forsake

The starlight dancing off of the lake



You left for college far away, later that year

I asked some friends about you, but never did hear

I joined the army and soon shipped out for the war

Still don’t know what the hell it was for



I got my discharge, came home last May

I heard you’d married, moved away

Guess your dreams were bigger now than this small town could hold

A world away from Sutherland Road



I heard your father passed away

I know you were home from just one day

I was drinkin’ at Eddie’s Bar and watched you walk on by

I nearly choked on the tears I couldn’t cry



Last night I found myself up on Sutherland Road

The soft grass glistened still, from the last time it snowed

I took my clothes off and I dove into that lake

Trying not to feel my frozen heart break
