Down The Road Feat: Becky Schlegel, Dan Gaarder, Andy Dee & Zannman

Glen Campbell recorded this song, often touted as the best country ballad of all time in 1968 when I was a high school freshman. Little did I know that 20 years later Glen would become my publisher and that I would get to record with an All Star background choir in Nashville in 1990.  Now and then inspiration and magic strikes like lightening. This is my tribute to Glen, who among several other Nashville legends mentored me and influenced everything I have done since as a songwriter, producer, artist, and recording professional. God Bless You Glen- may you sing and play with God's Angels..  Chris

Long & Winding Road 4 Payton

"I kept myself in boxes,
Taped shut, labeled fragile
Now I’m unfolding…
And I don’t care if it’s messy."

I walked like a question
Curved back, soft tone
You traced my silence
Like it was carved in stone

Said “you’re too much” in quiet ways
With every glance you looked away
But I learned loud from broken days
I’m not that girl, I won’t obey

Ah-ah, I unfold me
Ah-ah, unapologetically
Ah-ah, don't control me
I unfold, unfold...

Your rules were riddles
Painted gold
I tried to solve you
But lost my soul

Now I scream in full technicolor
Found my echo in another
Don’t need your shade to feel the light
I dance alone, and that’s alright

I’m not your shadow anymore
Not the echo by your door
I’m the thunder and the floor
I’m the scream you can’t ignore

I burned the scripts, I broke the scene
Wrote new lines with gasoline
Every flaw, a burst of art
Every tear, a fresh restart

Unfold me, I won’t rewind
Unfold me, don’t cross that line
Unfold me, no more disguise
Unfold me — watch me rise

I was paper, now I’m flame
You’ll forget, but I remain
Folded once, but never tamed
Now I rise, and say my name

Unfolded
