Description
Written for my best friend who always had life together, even when I did not, when all of a sudden his wife decided to cheat on him for over a year. He broke the news to me after they tried to "remedy" things (still are!) I'd never seen a guy want to "just get away" more in my life, but responsibilty kept him there.

Lyrics
12/24 at The Falconeer
I feel all inside out
all these voices
I should never hear
from a friend consumed with doubt
call him a law man
but even a law man's bound to break
carry your calling
carry your music far away

its just another highway song
another lover done somebody wrong
another lover wonder where you been?
finding meaning only in pretending
yeah
its not the end
again
its not the end

so here we stand in a face to face
something must be wrong
heart to heart shoud've taken place
before one heart was gone

call it a moment
call it a "simple twist of fate"
but now that its over baby
don't mean its over anyway

its just another Highway song....

cuz in your time
dissolves right into fear
and your life
is nowhere close to where
you thought it'd be
when you lived and dreamed
we all know the feeling
you're like a dead man walking 'round
and when you're reeling
sometimes you just gotta get out of this town
cuz I got my car
and I got my radio
and its playing so low
its just another highway song...

Real Nice
For a simple guitar and vocal song I think this very strong. Guitar sounds
very nice- lyrics are thought provoking. And I really like the live, coffee
house feel of this... intimate.

If you decide to ever decide to build on this I hear places for some
harmonies and a bass line. Those are things that would fill out the song
while still keeping it's simple elegance.

Nice song... and one I've downloaded!

Real Nice
Cool man, yeah I'd love to hear your ideas for some way to fill out the sound. I'm
a basic strummer as a guitar player so not a ton of "flavor" to my playing. Haha
Thanks again !!

Very solid
I couldn't help but think about how good a friend you must be. The empathy you show for his circumstances with this song is really touching.

Great song. Great singing.

I like your "That'll work" at the end. I agree.

World weary and heartfelt
Great track...the vocals are really strong, full of character and they give a
real richness to this acoustic track. I always think the best songs are the
ones that can shine with just an acoustic backing and is is a good
example of that

Strong vocal!
You've got a great voice, man!! The vocal is definitely the strong point. The melody is also nice. The strumming is, at times, a bit monotonous and repetitive. I would suggest working on finding some alternate strumming or picking patterns to add a bit a depth and take away the "predictability" of the rhythm. Nice job, good lyrics and melody, and, once again, awesome voice.

Strong vocal!
Yah man, thanks, I play just sorta well enough to support my voice, but if/when I
record this again, I plan to add some flavor to the strumming. thanks!!
