about

original demo sent in to the 2017 International Songwriting Competition

lyrics

I dropped out of college, I did what was right
I went to the mountains, I drove day and night
I met a girl, showed me world
I'd never known

Opened my eyes to the magic fount
I didn't know the price to the youth I'd found
A braindead man with a dirty hand
Stuck out on the road

And the cars drive by
And oh, how I long to be home
But the road to Motown
Is ragged, cracked and broke down
Just like me

My thoughts are empty, I got nothing to say
There ain't nothing to me, and nothing come my way
Wisdom gone, she wasn't here long
Now I'm all alone

My feet are sore and my spirit's low
My clothes are torn, with so far to go
I'm breaking down, and I hear the sound
Rattling in my bones

And the cars drive by
And oh, how I long to be home
But the road to Motown
Is ragged, cracked and broke down
Just like me
