Bio

The song keeps pouring forth. Wish they did when I was 25 but I was too locked up then. Took forty years to grow an identity after the bludgeoning I took early on. I know who I am now. A family man who builds with love stone and life. And who loves to write.

Lyrics

[Verse 1 -2]
(Rest)_ _ _ Em_ _ _ G _ _ _ D_ _ _ C_ _ _ Em_ _ _ G_ _ _
You got one way to drive only one way to go. The race in your chest ‘til ya just can’t rest. We numb the pain one way or another.
Am_ C_ _ _
We ain’t together we’re apart.
(Rest)_ _ Em_ _ _ G_ _ _ D_ _ _ C_ _ _ _ Em_ _ _ _
You know, I’m lonely, only thing you show me is that pout upon your face, as you disappear with grace. That straightened arrow through
G_ _ _ Am_ _ _ _ C_ _ _
my fallible heart. Do you recall the heat at the start
[Chorus]
_ G_ _ _ D_ _ _ Am_ _ _ C_ _ _ G_ _ _ D_ _ _
Baby, you gotta light it up, get rid of your pride If you want to take this classic for a ride ‘Cause the only thing that holds us back is that
Am_ _ _ C_ _ Em_ _ _ G_ _ _ D_ _ _ _ _ _ _
old familiar voice that whispers oh whispers oh whispers in the air
[Verse 3]

Rest_ _ _ Em_ _ _ G _ _ _ D_ _ _ C_ _ _ Em_ _ _ G_ _ _ Am_ _
The cynic will tell ya, you must choose the heart is a machine, no other use, but I swear if there is life ever after I will meet you at the
_ C_ _ _ Em_ _ _ G D
finish and whisper oh whisper oh whisper in your ear
[Bridge]
Em G D C
Cause ya gotta keep the wheels spinnin’. Right the final turn. The road don’t go on forever and I’m waiting for your word
Em G D C
Take shotgun now, Baby. Or get behind the wheel. Put the pedal to the metal and hear the tires squeal. (Vocal: F#_G_)
[Lead Solo]
G_ _ _ D_ _ _Am_ _ _C_ _ _ (x16)
_ G_ _ _ D_ _ _ Am_ _ _ C_ _ _ G_ _ _ D_ _ _
Baby, you gotta light it up, get rid of your pride If you want to take this classic for a ride ‘Cause the only thing that holds us back is that
Am_ _ _ C_ _ Em_ _ _ G_ _ _ D_ _ _ _ _ _ _
old familiar voice that whispers oh whispers oh whispers in the air
[Outro]
Am_ _ _ C_ _ _ Em_ _ _ D_ _ _
I love I love I love you.
