RPM 2024 track 7
A good friend of mine has a Samoyed. This is a song about him.
I was hoping for a kiiind of Cheap Suit Serenaders feel. Acoustic guitar, a 1920s tenor banjo and a brand new mandolin.

Goin' out east, we don’t have much fun
Haven’t got much faith, and I never want some
Goin' out east I’m gonna drive my car
Like I got someplace to be, gotta get real far
Sunrise to sundown
Breaks over, shuteye
I’ll keep the lights on…

I might be warming up, turn me over
But the spinning wheels are stuck, on the shoulder
I lost the day
In a trade I lost my soul to the devil

I’m not the bigger person
I’m not the wise old sage

Not gonna wait around…

Let’s get closer, complicated

headed out - the night was new

Gather round, praise the sound

Into the wind I felt it

And I’m looking for a red eye
And my train’s not coming round

RPM. Month of concessions. I had lots of ideas, and they all seemed to fall apart. Time was not in abundance. Glad this was a leap year, for me to squeeze this out in a few hours after work.

Toward the end of the month, I (Kevin) got a wild hair to try something silly with Robbie’s sweet little acoustic ditty about the cycle of the seasons, which lets us end the album on a sweet and hopeful note. Hope you like it!

This short track also spawned from Robbie’s “E Rock Jam”, though in a more roundabout way than Sugar Free Jam earlier on the album.
