I 75 (Co-Write Tom & Janice) - 07/16/15 12:47 PM
We are calling this blend of genres Appalachian Honky-Tonk. Bob (90db) supplied us with the band name I 75. So now we have a song to go along with it. I could get long winded here about the story the song tells, but will let it speak for itself. All comments/suggestions are encouraged. Tom

I 75
Thought it might be best to leave you there that night
don’t know I could have made it through another fight
Took the baby and the boys you were passed out on the couch
No time to try and wash the blood off of my blouse
Just trying to survive
Headed up I 75
there’s been stories on the news bout what they call abuse
Is that us I ask myself but really what’s the use
never been apart since we were in our teens
How the hell do I know what co dependence means
Just glad to be alive
On I 75
There’s desperation in your phone calls
The kids keep asking if you’re alright
What can I tell them between the whiskey and the pills
Anything I say will be a lie
Cept Daddy sends his love but Daddy’s not coming home tonite
We’ve been stuck up here Knoxville Tennessee
I wonder now and then do you ever think of me
been talking to myself. bout heading south
Don't ya know I barely got the words out of my mouth
Well I dropped that car in drive
Headed down I 75
There’s desperation in your phone calls
The kids keep asking if you’re alright
What can I tell them between the whiskey and the pills
Anything I say will be a lie
Cept Daddy sends his love And Daddy we’re coming home tonite
Daddy sends his love Daddy we’re coming home tonite
