The "Xtra Styles" style used in this song is just what I was looking for to finish up this song. Hard driving, hot, and fun to work with.

There are two great guitar tracks in the style, but no lead guitar that would fit my needs. So I recorded a lead guitar track using a Fender Nashville Power Telecaster to finish up the song. Vocal is mine. The tracks were exported from BIAB to Reaper, vocal and guitar tracks added. This is probably NOT the final mix but it's pretty close to what I want.

BIAB info is below. However for those who would like to see the progression and other details here is a link to the actual BIAB file. I have the Xtra Styles pak loaded and the latest build of BIAB Everything prog on my computer. So if you get an error message check your BIAB installation.

Enjoy,
Bob

LYRICS:

Drive
© 2016 Bob Buford


(verse)
Sun’s coming up in my rearview
A new day’s coming on
I’m putting these wheels in the wind
Before anybody knows I’m gone

(chorus)
Well, I got to drive
I got to drive
There’s nothing else in this world makes me feel so alive
Lookin’ good, feelin’ strong
Baby, let’s just get gone
Wind it up, turn it on
I got to drive

(verse)
CDs piled in the backseat
Man, I love them good old songs
One little suitcase’ll do me
I’ve been shut down too long

(chorus)
I got to drive
I got to drive
There’s nothing else in this world makes me feel so alive
Lookin’ good, feelin’ strong
Baby, let’s just get gone
Wind it up, turn it on
I got to drive

(bridge)
When the sun comes up on Monday
I’m heading back in to town
And I’ll have all week long to daydream
Of me and this ragtop down

(chorus)
Drive
I got to drive
There’s nothing else in this world makes me feel so alive
Lookin’ good, feelin’ strong
Baby, let’s just get gone
Wind it up, turn it on
I got to drive
Wind it up, turn it on
I got to drive
