about

This was originally a jam that Derrick, Gary and I did back in the summer of 2006, which I liked so much, I wrote a song for it. It just seems like a fitting end to the album, even now when the album is not quite half way done.

lyrics

[INTRO]

An old roadhouse blues man
Climbs up on the stool
Moans incoherently into the mic
But his guitar sounds so cool.

You can't recall how long
You've been coming to hear him play
A lifetime of forgetting
Seems it's always been this way.

And it's a long way back to the place
That you used to call your home.

[BRIDGE]

It's time to hit the road
They're clearing up the place
The blues man packs his Gibson
In an old brown leather case.

You polish off your beer
And wipe the suds away
You've got nowhere to sleep tonight
But you know where you can stay.

And it's a long way back to the place
That you used to call your home.

[INSTRUMENTAL; Tenor Saxaphone]

And it's a long way back to the place...

Probably all me, unless I can get the guys to replay their parts, and maybe find someone to play the sax part.
