Eh.

Pretty far from my best. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and then I compounded the weakness by playing badly and messing up some edits. Oh well.

The lyrics are about driving in Waltham, MA, home of the most idiot traffic I’ve ever experienced… and I’ve lived near Boston, MA for my entire life… that’s saying something.

Guitars are all Les Paul.

Just when you think you know the way
They go and put a detour in your lane

want to go around
I can’t go around
I want to move ahead
I can’t move ahead
I want to get along
I can’t get along
I want to push through
I can’t push through

I thought that I finally figured it out
(Not this time)

Saved!
