Up on the Road

Song 9# for my RPM 2022. I don’t know how it happened, but I ended up with a bit of an alternative quasi-delta blues here. I walk a lot of country roads at night so….. The harmonies were fun. Thanks to anyone who listens! Onward!!

Sometimes you walk a road
sometime you go too far
and when you realize
it’s already getting dark
mmm hmmmm
but you say you love me (in the evening)
and said you care
I’ll hold on to something (in the evening)
and I hope to meet you there
Up on the road
up on the road
again my friend
yeah up on the road
up on the road
again my friend
And the lights flash fast into your eyes
as the rain came pouring down
but we’ll find each other anyhow
I know where we’ll be found
(and the rain, and the rain)
but you say you love me (in the evening)
and said you care
I’ll hold on to something (in the evening)
and I hope to meet you there
Up on the road
up on the road
again my friend
up on the road
again my friend
up on the road

I'm just strolling down memory lane (RPM 2022) this morning. This is a great song.

Dig the variety of styles track to track with your voice being the only obvious connective tissue. This is a nice take on the Delta Blues style, clear influence, but it doesn’t seems derivative or like a pastiche.

Loving this one. I'm staying on the straight and narrow of "little parlour guitar in standard tuning, write song, record song, on to next..." but I'm itching to play some other stuff and instruments... and THIS makes me gaze across the room at Les Pauls and Resonators and the shelf of slides, and... and...
