Lyrics

©2011
Russ Wilson

Feet are firmly planted
On the outside looking in
Watch the world go by
comeing back again.

Never had a reason
No I never found the need
To be something other
Than what I was meant to be.

Chorus

Seems there's a rule out there
I don't know where
Of how things need to be
Would you show me please
But if I always did it that way
Wont you tell me
What would that make me?

Take the road less traveled
I know I'll find my way
No place special that I'm going
Got no other Place

The sun sets in the the same place
No matter what your name
Just the way it is
Don't want to play the game

Chorus

Bridge
In my mind I like to hang around
Don't make it something that it's not
To much thinking seems to take away
What life's about What lifes about

Thanks for the listen.
On this song I used my Takamine EAN 15C. It is twelve years old and no longer being made. Best acoustic I have ever owned and I have owned many. Strings are always D'Addario on acoustic guitars and Ernie Ball on electrics. I guess the one thing that may stand out is I never plug in my acoustic's. I always mic them both live and in recording. Hope that helps... Thanks again..

	Well done. That's some nice guitar right there, It's a nice contrast to the lyrics which are somewhat depressing, or at least that's how I interpreted them. Excellent work. Check out my latest song called A Dream About a Nun Riding a Burro

mowguy3	mowguy3 said 677 days ago (July 11th, 2011)
	Thanks Depressing lyric? Not so much, at least not meant to be. Just reflecting a bit. I have always marched to my own drum. In the past I would defend that. Now I just don't give a shit. Glad you enjoyed the track. Thanks for stopping by and the kind words. Check out my latest song called What Would That Make Me?

	Really good song! Hi Russ. Really good song with some nice southern acoustic elements.
