*******************

I was on my way to Memphis in the middle of the night
Trying to make the show and tryin to get you off my mind
you picked a fine time to leave me while I’m out here on the road
I guess you didn’t want to wait until I got back home

We can get back together when I get back from Tennessee
Burn up the past and tear up the jealousies
As miles keep flyin by It’s all I can do to keep from cryin
Trying to make the show and tryin to get you off my mind



Did you ever love me I could never tell
It’s not my job to make you happy you got to find it in yourself

When it comes to playin the games you choose I always seem to lose
I’m a Long way from home with the interstate 40 blues

We pulled out of Nashville after playin in a honky tonk bar
We had a rusty old van and a uhaul full of guitars
The phone call never came Text messages ain’t the same
Girl you make me crazy you’re drivin me insane

The road can be a lonely place when you’re playin in a band
Burnin up the highway to make it to a one night stand
I may never see you again that’s the difference between a lover and a friend
I hate to see you leavin I hate to see it end

Excellent work! Nice clean vocal. Production is top rate. I do hear a popping sound it sounds like it is coming from the guitar. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice tune, Tommy... I would say "radio ready," but it may be a bit long.... not redundant, however. Nicely constructed, well-balanced. Professional, in a word.

I particularly enjoyed the Keith 5-string open-tuned guitars.... Been listening to his stuff all week, because I'm reading his autobiography right now -- recommended, by the way.

One question: I don't think you said what RT lead guitar you used... or did you play it?

PgFan - Thanks you're right my fingers get a little excited when its my turn to take a lead. I guess I will rerecord the part. getting a good guitar sound when going direct is a huge challenge.It is a bit long,but I couldn't find a way to shorten it. It has to have a guitar break. Too good of a groove to pass up. Brallan, Thanks i read that Richards book. Very Enlightening. Tom
