LYRICS:

I walk down the road looking for my tribunal
Like tom and huck stumbling down the aisle of their own funeral
Please goddess of the road, get me on my way
 
You see my love just left me so I’m on my own
And my heart’s banged up looking for a foster home
The highway moon is getting me dizzy
 
I see a mirage of medusa,
A top of an Appaloosa, what I wouldn’t do to be with you and your caboosa
Whispering to Mr. beck now who’s the real loser
 
Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to,
I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then I‘ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin’ and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride
 
A PYT ushers me back to the rear
I haven’t been many places and i definitely haven’t been here
To think i was just a lonely soul in the cold with my thumb out
Now I’m rolling a smoke and being told to stick my tongue out
 
We bounced and blared and so did the Lorry
She teased my hair and held me close with a story
Of rag tag visions as the moonlight poured in
Second star to the right and straight on til’ morning
 
Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to,
I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then
I‘ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin’ and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride
 
Looking at her face was like looking at the sun
She said you can’t ask of everybody what you don’t ask of one
Either way, we got today and that’s all we may be allowed
I know that if we hold it together,
There’s real love we can bring about

Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to,
 I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then I’ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride

The Sound Of Sunshine Going Down

Michael Franti is a globally renowned musician, humanitarian, and activist, celebrated for his high-energy live performances, socially conscious music, and unshakable optimism. With three Billboard No. 1 hits—“Sound of Sunshine,” “Say Hey (I Love You),” and “I Got You”—and a track record of six Top 30 Hot AC singles, 10 Top 25 AAA singles, and three Billboard Top 5 albums, Franti has built a career on music that uplifts and unites. His concerts break down barriers between artist and audience, transforming venues into spaces of joy, connection, and shared humanity.

On March 28, 2025, Franti released his 14th studio album, Welcome to the Family, a collection of 13 new songs that embrace themes of inclusivity, self-discovery, and resilience. The lead single, “Break Up With Everything,” is currently climbing the US AAA charts, setting the tone for an album that channels personal and global challenges into anthems of hope and change. “Every one of us has a family—whether by birth, circumstance, or choice. When you put all those together, they form the world family. Right now, the world is filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and division. This album is about taking those emotions—what I experience every day—and turning them into music that reminds us we are never alone.”

To bring this message of connection to life, Franti will embark on the Welcome to the Family Tour, a nationwide summer trek with stops at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Pier 17, and more. Known for his immersive concert experience—where he often performs from the crowd, invites fans on stage, and fosters a true sense of togetherness—each show is more than just a performance; it’s a celebration of unity and positivity.

Beyond music, Franti is the founder of Soulshine Bali, a forty-room, five-star boutique retreat in Ubud, Indonesia, dedicated to wellness, creativity, and human connection. He and his wife also founded Do It For The Love, a nonprofit that grants live music experiences to individuals facing life-threatening illnesses, veterans, and children with severe challenges. Since its inception, the foundation has granted over 3,500 wishes, touching more than 15,000 lives worldwide.

Franti’s career is defined by his ability to turn hardship into hope, fostering unity through music, activism, and philanthropy. Whether on stage, at his Bali retreat, or through his foundation, his purpose remains the same: to bring people together, lift spirits, and remind us all that we are part of something bigger. With Welcome to the Family, he continues to create not just music but a movement of love, inclusivity, and transformation.
