Backstory:
On this latest Nashville Country song, (Lyrics by Clare Steffen, Music and Vocals by William Sherry), I asked William to add a little vibraphone, and he gave me just a hint of it, but if you listen closely you can hear it on this New Grass (next generation Blue Grass song.
Lyrics:
Twenty bucks and a broken-down Ford
Was all I had to change my life
I’m running from the slumlord
I ain’t living the high life
Got more bills than I got cash
Wondering how long it’s gonna last
I’m ready in case I gotta dash
You know bad news travels fast
Chorus
The fast lane calls my name
I’ve been living there as long as I can say
I guess I got skin in the game
Maybe it’ll get better someday
It’s the life I’ve been forced to play
Don’t seem to know, no other way
They say I got the right to change
But to me, that just seems strange
I’m gonna pack up my Ford
Take my twenty bucks and hit the road
Maybe I’ll hit the Eastern Seaboard
I don’t plan to hit the Mother Lode
(or go where there ain’t no color code)
‘Cause I know....
Chorus
Fade
Maybe it’ll get better someday
I’m tired of the fast lane
