This is a song I wrote recently. Let me know what you guys think. Enjoy it lol I like it. The song is in regular tuning with a partial capo on the 2nd fret covering all the strings but the top two. LYRICS:::::::: V1: Goodbye Mountains and open spaces. Old friends and older faces. I pack my bags, turn the key, and hit the gas. I make my way to the land of the beaches. Drive past the old south and Georgia peaches Another memory for every road I pass. V2: I kiss both of my grandmothers My parents and my brother They are the ones I will miss the most Like sand time slips right through my hands Blown away before I get a chance to land One minute I'm here the next I'm on the coast. PC1: If home is really where the heart is Did I just leave it there? And is the grass really greener over here, It looked that way I swear PC2: If this is such a small, small world How could I feel alone? I guess I'm not in Kansas anymore And I'm a long, long way from home CHORUS: I'm leaving almost Heaven in West Virginia, for miles and miles of 95. This old world keeps turning, As I make my journey But I won't fight it, I'll just hop in ... and ride BRIDGE: And I will ride until I find my place Wherever it may be Yet when I get to this new place I find the steps that I retrace Have led me to the place I started in.

If I could get you to write songs and sing them somewhere where people would just cry for what you sing, and laugh at what story you tell I would. You remind me of Adam Druitz.

well you got my attention. And I'm here in the PHilippines. There's this guy in malaysia, he put you up in his Tagged account for that we hate people at work. Hey, you're cool. Thanks for being a voice in the void

You're are one of the best musicians Ive seen, you got a different style, you sing, you play violin (I thought you only played that until I saw this), and you play guitar, which made me listen to the whole song...you rock, all the luck in the world and if you wrote this, you should make yourself famous man! Keep it coming, dont stop! /(XD)\

Thanks so much! And will do! Although I might just do some fiddling in there myself lol

Very nice, dude. Keep it up. And good luck, if music happens to be something you would like to do as a career. Email me if you cut an album and need fiddle.
