Making My Way

This one was kind of a scatter-shot collaboration. Robbie was playing around with the guitar riff before band practice one night, so Kenny and I (Kevin) joined in on vocals and drums, respectively. Robbie recorded that jam, then fleshed out the rest of the song later. We kept Kenny’s ad libbed first couple of lines, then Leum added most of the lyrics, and Robbie changed a few words here and there. Lead vocal duties swapped from Robbie to Kenny, then back to Robbie for the final version, so don’t be surprised if there’s an alternate take when the mixer has more time. :)

Leum Monroe – lyrics, background vocals
Robbie Robinson – lyrics, songwriting, vocals, guitars, recording
Kenny Tannehill – lyrics, bass, background vocals, recording
Kevin Craig – drums, recording, mixing

Making My Way
by Robinson, Monroe, and Tannehill
Making my way, my way back home, never never never want to live alone,
So if you don’t want me then let me know, Because I need my baby to call my own.
Take me higher or leave me out, bring the love don’t bring me doubt,
Take me higher or leave me be, bring me love or set me free.

If you don’t wanna see me, don’t hang ‘round my door,
If you don’t want to free me, don’t keep asking for more,
If you won’t bring me love, take it somewhere else
I can’t waste my passion when it’s not even felt.

Take me higher or leave me out, bring the love don’t bring me doubt,
Take me higher or leave me be, bring me love or set me free

If you can’t speak the truth, don’t go spreading lies,
I can’t waste my time seeing through your eyes.
So I’m making my way to see you at home,
We’re going to have a talk you don’t have on the phone.
Take me higher or leave me out, bring me love don’t bring me doubt,
Take me higher or leave me be, bring me love DON’T set me free.
