What a fantastic production, I love your playing and singing skills, great dynamics. Well done! Mar T.

Love this part, amazing song with sweet souvenirs, great job Mark ;D

Oh yessssss....I love this and I must admit you know how to set things up.

Agree with Marty, this is something else. Incredible production for a great song.

Cool storytelling on a laid back track ... and nicely powerful at ending chorus

Man On The Street

Dad was on vacation - took the family for a ride
We got caught up in the songs we sang and the exits passed us by
Pretty soon the darkness fell and we looked up and saw a clear and moonless sky.

It couldn’t be more beautiful; the stars, they were on fire.
With the tank approaching emptiness, well it came down to the wire
We made our destination and I remember these, the best of times

There’s nothing wrong when you can laugh things off and try another way.
So we sang along on the journey back to Monterey

We are the stuff of battles lost just as much the ones we've won
The constellations of where we’ve been and of all the songs we’ve sung
So when rambling roads and songs don’t take me anywhere, well then I’ll know

There’s something wrong when I can’t find me another way
It would sure feel good if I could make it back to Monterey 

Last night I and Amelia got lost between the strings
Her vapor trails came floating down and wrapped around my wings
In disbelief I went outside and looked up and saw a clear and moonless sky.

And all the stars, they fell around me in disarray
That's why I’m going back to Monterey

I don’t belong here anymore 'cause these aren’t my days or times.
Don’t give me so many choices ‘cause I’ve made up my mind.
Yeah, you’ve all got friendly voices, but I can read the signs
These are the memories I'll save, and hold on to my wings tonight

Let’s sing about adventure with the windows open wide
We’ll sing right through the fog and chill  and let the exits pass us by.
