Lyrics

Stepping out of the apartment on a cool autumn night
I could take this walk forever
And never break stride
As long as there’s a sidewalk
Just me and you
The buildings may crumble
The city streets remain our pew

No, I don’t have a car for drivin’
I stay in my zip code
Feel like I’ve traveled the world
And baby, you are my road
Not the road to recovery…
riches…
Or the Final Four
You’re the road to my true meaning
Life has given me the store

We arrive at the restaurant
The back table’s reserved
Two women at the bar give me the eyes as I turn
They get the “thanks, but no thanks” smile from me
There’s no need for a save
When I look straight at you
The only road my mind and body would pave

No, I don’t have a car for drivin’
I stay in my zip code
Feel like I’ve traveled the world
And baby, you are my road
Not the road to recovery…
riches…
Or the Final Four
You’re the road to my true meaning
Life has given me the store

Sun rises up in the city
I got a client on the phone
He says I’m yellin’, but I ain’t yellin’
He’s beyond crawfish cray
Taking abuse is part of this job
But the paycheck keeps us here together, lets us repeat yesterday
But the paycheck keeps us here together, lets us repeat yesterday

No, I don’t have a car for drivin’
I stay in my zip code
Feel like I’ve traveled the world
And baby, you are my road
Not the road to recovery…
riches…
Or the Final Four
You’re the road to my true meaning
Life has given me the store

You’re the road to my true meaning
Life has given me the store

    Great song Bill and Trystan. Congratulations on your success in the USA SONGWRITING COMPETITION. I especially enjoyed the romantic/automotive related theme and it has inspired me to finish a song I have been working on involving much the same subject matter. Scotts vocals are always great and I love how he has brought to life my lyrics on the many songs he has recorded for me. Thank you Trystan and Scott and all the musicians at Demo My Song for the great work you do for all of us aspiring songwriters. I know I will be submitting my new song to DMS in the near future.
