Lyrics
I'm a goddam superman
Singing a travel song
The world I'm living in
ain't too wide, but it's long
Long roads leading
Somewhere out there

I get lost
but I don't mind
I'm just passing cars
and passing time
I'm driving down the road
The road without a care

I put my foot down
And l blow out of town
I’m lost then I have found
There’s nothing left to do but..

Roll the windows down
and I can breathe
Roll the windows down
that's all I need
Roll the windows down
and I am free
I'm free

The Badlands look
Pretty good from here
I like the view
in my rearview mirror
Got the sun in my sights
As I drive into the light

Arizona border
Land of the gods
I lost it all in Vegas
wouldn't give you the odds
I'm sure there's some light
behind the stars I see at night

Good Job
I loved the chord progression and main melody. Lyrics
matched the mood of the music too. Too much guitar
stuff going on. I would have like hear more of the
acoustic by itself. Lose one of the guitars and add a bass.
The lead was a little mechanical and could flow a little
better. You sound a lot like me - your creativity is
pushing your (current) ability. Keep playing and writing. I
hear some real talent here.

Good Job
Thanks for the great feedback - hit a lot of nails on the head. Definitely pushing limits and learning tons. I've played guitar for many years but never did leads until I got GarageBand so I experiment a lot. This song has my first-ever back-up vocals.

Solid
Strong mainstream composition. I love it when people
write about their life in details; and doesn't hitting the
highway make you feel great? Nice. I really appreciate the
harmonies, especially in the chorus. Nice rhythm acoustic
guitar; could have used more of the faster strumming one,
and perhaps more hi end EQ on the slower strumming
one, and a little more stereo separation of the
instruments. Very solid tune and arrangement.

Little more lead in
I felt the intro was a little abrupt, I would have liked a little
more of a lead in. My speaker setup tends to make vocals
quiet, so I'm not sure if it was just me, but the vocals
could be brought up in my opionion. The vocals were
pretty nasaley also. I've found the remedy to this is to
place your mic verticalssy as opposed to horizontally in
front of you. Other than that, loved to guitar work and
the lyrics. Good work!

Little more lead in
Thanks for you comments -- I'll work on the vocals -- though I admit I
always admired Lennon's nasally singing. On the opening, I've only written
about ten songs in my life, so I'm still learning on arrangement. Mostly go by
instinct and feel, but ability sometimes limits.

Nice Tune
This is your best tune that I have heard so far. Good lyrics,
nice beat, good harmonies. Only advice I would give is to
lighten up on the lead guitar and solo. On a crisp, fast
moving song like this with the pretty harmonies I would
use a cleaner sound and have a little livelier solo that
would match the rest of the song better.
