about

This was recorded in a South Jersey basement in July of 2014.

lyrics

It had been three years since I had seen you
and we drove in your car and I listened.
You told me all the place you had been,

"It won't be much longer that I'll stay in Austin" you said.

We watched the bats fly overhead.
Talking by the riverbed how no one place across the states is perfect no matter what place you stay.

That life for me I had left behind,
back up North I was spending my time,
I had made peace with my home,

but you said "I'm in love with the road,"

You have every essence of this country.
No woman had made me feel that way.
Our stars were crossed, it just wasn't in the cards.

"It's not going to happen, at least not tonight "

So I said goodbye and headed South,
I called you from a hotel room, but it just wasn't going to work out.
There was nothing I could do.

So good luck, and goodbye.
Enjoy the road.
You said you got things to do.
I must head home and fly alone.
I'm headed back North.

I said "I'll see you on the other side,"

So I hung up the phone and sat and thought of you alone.
Thinking maybe one day I'll see you again.
