This may be my last song for a little while, dunno, have two albums worth of stuff to put out and don't need any more songs right now. But that could change in ten minutes.

Here are some fun facts on this song and why I call it a Tribute to Band in a Box.

1.) I managed to get the words “Band in a Box” into a rhyme scheme.

2.) Unless I am missing something, I think I may have just immortalized the words “Band in a Box” in a rock song. smile

3.) I wrote this using a rinky dink notebook with BIAB 2015 and some user tracks with no electricity at night in the middle of nowhere in Lassen Volcanic State Park in Northern California in the dark with a headlamp. User tracks let you take your own band anywhere with no electricity. Even a dark wilderness beach. Gnarly Brah.

4.) Tom Petty says he wrote Free Fallin’ just to make Jeff Lynne laugh. I wrote this just to make you people laugh. Hope it works. A video is next. It will be killer, trust me.

Be excellent to one another.


Freeway

By David Snyder

Where I’m driving
It’s nobody’s business
I’m on the freeway
And I’m driving alone
Heading out of
North Sacramento
Every mile of this world is my own

PreChorus

And the sun is shining on my face
And I’m dreamin’ ‘bout you baby
But I had to leave this world
Cause I got some things to do

CH:

On the Freeway
That’s where I’m driving
On the Freeway
This world is my own
On the Freeway
At least I’m surviving
On the Freeway
Might not ever go home

V2

Looking for a place
Where I can feel worthy
Looking for a band
That knows how to rock
Taking with me
A lifetime of memories
Taking with me
My band in a box

PreChorus

And the sun is shining on my face
And I’m praying for you baby
But I had to cut these ties
Cause I got some things to do

CH

On the Freeway
That’s where I’m driving
On the Freeway
This world is my own
On the Freeway
At least I’m surviving
On the Freeway
Might not ever go home

V2 Reprise

Looking for a place
Where I can feel worthy
Looking for a band
That knows how to rock
Taking with me
A lifetime of memories
Taking with me
My band in a box

CH

On the Freeway
That’s where I’m driving
On the Freeway
This world is my own
On the Freeway
At least I’m surviving
On the Freeway
Might not ever get home

Rideout:

Keep on driving
Keep on striving
Keep the faith
Yeah keep surviving

Keep on driving
Keep on striving
Keep the faith
Keep surviving

On the Freeway
On the Freeway
On the Freeway
On the Freeway
