My latest track "Ode to the Road"

lyrics

The code of the road
Can’t be borrowed or sold
You couldn’t write this stuff even if you tried
But that’s ok you don’t have to
Cuz we’re coming ‘round again
And that’s why we wrote this ode to the road

Disco balls and overalls
Doors at eight and it’s an empty hall
Ben and Clay are out there throwing the Squidge
Jer can’t find the catering line and Joe says we’re never gonna check on time
The opening band’s stuck in traffic on the bridge

Chauncey likes to tell me that it’s not a real show
But I see Kidd and Betty down in the front row
But the band won’t play cuz the fridge is outta beer
The green room’s about a couple blocks away
Gare’s already there but he says “There’s no way”
“But hey man my banjo sounds great in here”

The code of the road
Can’t be borrowed or sold
You couldn’t write this stuff even if you tried
But that’s ok you don’t have to
Cuz we’re coming ‘round again
And that’s why we wrote this ode to the road

Austin got lost in Las Vegas again
But you don’t need to gamble when you’re in a band
You’re already winning when you’re on the road with friends
The boss man says I’m not paying you to tune
You’ll leave here with a nickel if you don’t play soon
So we put on a show the he hoped would never end

The show is done and it’s day off eve
We got til four til the bus is gonna leave
There’s an old place where the locals hang around
Order what you want the label’s picking up the tab
We can get it on in the back of the cab
The boy’s got a woman in every town

The code of the road
Can’t be borrowed or sold
You couldn’t write this stuff even if you tried
But that’s ok you don’t have to
Cuz we’re coming ‘round again
And that’s why we wrote this ode to the road

We love it at the Fillmore and the Music Hall
The Earl in Atlanta and the Turf in St. Paul
The Exit, The Basement, The Ryman gotta play 'em all
The Capitol stage where Jerry played
The Troubadour where dreams are made
Let’s get on the road real soo so we can play for you all

The code of the road
Can’t be borrowed or sold
You couldn’t write this stuff even if you tried
But that’s ok you don’t have to
Cuz we’re coming ‘round again
And that’s why we wrote this ode to the road

A sonic voyage that truly captures a certain bands extended jams without trying to replicate them. Has a mellow, happy feel. And very tight. Awesome! Roger

Nearly forgot for a second that Neal Casal wasn't playing on this live album. :( May he RIP. While I haven't seen John Lee Shannon live, so far he's doing a great job with Adam MacDougall, Dan Horne, and Mark Levy. Very fine recording, hours of quality music for a good price! ✌️ ebookreader
