about

Written in Buffalo, Wyoming, USA June 2012
I spent most of the afternoon working on a new song, on a porch overlooking a beautiful ranch, you could see horses grazing in the field and the sun slowly setting. After giving up on the first song after several hours, I wrote this tune very quickly.

lyrics

Drive until I lose the road, Drive until I lose the road,
Sometimes I’m most at home when I don’t know where to go
Drive until I lose the road,

Love you but I cannot stay, Love you but I always stray
Places I am going they don’t give our kind a name
Love you but I cannot stay

I beg and plead
The miles could stretch out behind me
Looking up at stars without names
I am changed

Trouble stay away from me, I’m like a gambler with the lottery
Temptation is my best friend with expert timing
Trouble stay away from me

Try I try I’m bound to fail, To a hammer, everything is a nail
Fear it was an Everest my experience molehills
Try I try I’m bound to fail

I beg and plead
The miles could stretch out behind me
Looking up at stars without names
I am changed

I slept in parking I played for free
I slept in parking lots and played for free
But in my wildest dreams I never hoped you’d stick by me
I slept in parking lots and played for free

I beg and plead
The miles could stretch out behind me
Looking up at stars without names
I am changed

Drive until I lose the road, Drive until I lose the road,
But I’ll always have a place for you
Anywhere we go it’s the passenger seat and our home is the road
