A total made up story. I am in the first person because 'He' did not sound so good. LOL!
A new song from my one man band expanded by my Daughter Tara playing Lead Guitar.
Me on the verse fills hers would be better. LOL! NEW Mix 1/4/2009.
Story behind the song
Just another rocker. A common story. Guy is leaving town cant take the crap in his life. Picks up a hitchhiker. They get together and unfortunately as so often in life his problems he had before follow him to his new life. The girl is running away as well and gets sucked into the same old situation.
Lyrics
Hitting the Highway
Words/Music Tony DeLecce 9/21//2008
Driving down the Highway
I was looking for some fun
When I looked beside me
up came her thumb
She said I’m hitting the highway
I’m California Bound
I’m leaving this morning
Gotta get out of town
CHORUS
She can’t remember
The life they shared together
Seems like it was only a dream
She can’t stay
Cause he’ll never change
She’s leaving her problems behind
I was here and she was there
and I was going nowhere
I was lost when I found her
Now we’re leaving together
We’re hitting the highway
We’re California Bound
We’re leaving this morning
To be the new kids in town
CHORUS
I can’t remember
The life I had before her
Seems like it was just a bad dream Chords: Verse: A, G, C, D, A
I can’t stay
There’s too much pain Chorus1: A, G, D A
In the life Chorus: Dm, Em, Am C
I was living without her Dm, Em, C
Middle Lead
I’m drinking in the morning
I’ve been drinking all night long (All Barre Chords)
I’m wondering why I came here
and why she came along
I’m hitting the highway
Gonna leave this California town
I’m leaving in the morning
I don’t want to bring her down
Running on empty, feeling ashamed
I have no one left to blame
I cant stay cause I’ll never change
Girl I know your feeling the same
