Leaving Georgia

Lately I have been listening to Johnny Cash with a greater appreciation than ever before.  When doing this song, I felt close to Mr. Cash and his work.  I hope some of that feeling made its way into this song.  On Monday it will be 13 years since Mr. Cash left this earth.  His music lives on.

I owe so much on this song to the wonderful music and support from Hans and the additional care from Sam Prock.  Thank you dearly my friends.

Regards,
Chris

“Painted White Line”

Empty hallway
Empty heart
Drained of emotion
Too tired to start 
Another hopeless journey
Into the dark

Like a freight train
Trying to roll without its tracks
Like an airplane
Trying to fly with wings detached
Like a racecar
Steering without its wheel
My life feels like a tunnel
I need her here

I remember back
To a time of daisies 
And dandelions
She was the flower
I was a common weed
I could always hear her breathe
It always seemed 
She was breathing life into me

There is a painted white line
On the road for travelers
I need a painted white line
In my life as I’m traveling
But my line is painted 
Painted black

I drink my cheap wine
I remember back
To a time of daisies 
And dandelions
She was the flower
I was the common weed

I could always hear her
The way she breathed
It always seemed to me like … 
She was breathing the life into me
Breathing life into me
Breathing life into me
She was breathing the life into me

But like a freight train
Trying to roll without its tracks
Like an airplane
Trying to fly with wings detached
I’m the racecar
Steering without a wheel
My life’s a tunnel
I need her…

Start of a new writing project with a friend Mr. Matthew Odum

After hearing about Duane Allman's death, I dusted off and fired up the console at Parker Brothers Studio and made this tribute to Duane Allman.  I'm sure I speak for so many of my musician friends when I say that without Duane and ABB, I'm not sure what I would be like as a musician.  So many of the licks I play with whatever instrument I have in my hand and what little singing talent I possess have undeniably been shaped in some way by the Duane Allman.
