Me and my new Garage band; first effort with the firewire solo. This is a song written about the way I felt in the days after my mother died. Forced to drive through my old neighborhood on the way to the funeral home, I was confronted with many conflicting emotions. So, here it is.

Lyrics
Driving not fast I take the long way home
Turning in every direction but the one I had known
I try and let Jesus in can't seem to free up the phone
So I cry and drive and I turn and moan
And I don't believe I was everything you needed
When my inner-voice's calls to help you went unheeded
And I Come to an abrupt stop
Creep out into the intersection, I'm hesitant
My life's little compass needle spins are more evident
Today
Life is lesson in saying goodbye
From the nipple to your Momma from your lover to your child
Everything worth loving is worth tears bye and bye
My tears are falling fast jumping from my cheeks, oh my
My view is blurred and I can't see the traffic coming
I swerve to avoid a pedestrian thumbin
And I'm running out of neighborhood
Don't know what I'm doing down here anyway
If anyone's left they'll be leaving soon in so many ways
After today
Turning in every direction but the one I had known
I try and let Jesus in can't seem to free up the phone
So I cry and drive and I turn and moan
And I don't believe I was everything you needed
When my inner-voice's calls to help you went unheeded
And I Come to an abrupt stop
Creep out into the intersection, I'm hesitant
My life's little compass needle spins are more evident
Today
Life is lesson in saying goodbye
From the nipple to your Momma from your lover to your child
Everything worth loving is worth tears bye and bye
My tears are falling fast jumping from my cheeks, oh my
My view is blurred and I can't see the traffic coming
I swerve to avoid a pedestrian thumbin
And I'm running out of neighborhood
Don't know what I'm doing down here anyway
If anyone's left they'll be leaving soon in so many ways
After today
folk song... I like this a lot. What life deals finding its way into a song, benefitting the listener as well as the very good song writer-singer.
Really nice harp there. And some tasteful acoustic riffing. Kudos to the GBand!
Welcome, Joe!
