Dangerous Road - FEAT. JOHN BROWNS BODY

I remember a time back when you were mine, I didn't know,
Just how easy it would be for you to pack up your things and go.
Now how many nights will I sit and cry all alone,
Squeezing hollow point tears from a heart that's made of stone.

Can't let you know I've been
Crying, crying, crying for so long
Crying, crying, crying since you've been gone

And now I know,
now I know
Yes now I know,
I can't let you go.

Now the air is so thick it's only getting harder to breathe.
And after all that we had how could you just pick up and leave.
Gotta hold myself together, show you just how strong I can be.
So I won't swallow my pride and I will not let you see.

I can't let you see I've been...
Crying, crying, crying for so long
That I've beeen 
Crying, crying, crying since you've been gone
Can't let you know I've been
Crying, crying, crying for so long
That I've been 
Crying, crying, crying since you been gone

Crying For So Long

The wrong way down a one way street
you got to turn it around, gotta turn it around.
The wrong way down a one way street
you got to turn it around, gotta turn it around, right now.

I keep building you up, you keep shooting me down.
I keep building you up, you keep shooting me down.
I keep building you up, you're treatin' me like a clown.
I keep building you up, you keep shooting me.

The wrong way down a one way streetyou got to turn it around, gotta turn it around.
The wrong way down a one way streetyou got to turn it around, gotta turn it around, 
right now.

I keep building you up, you keep shooting me down.
I keep building you up, you keep shooting me down.
I keep building you up, you keep runnin' around.
I keep building you up, you keep shooting me down.

Keep shooting me down,
Keep shooting me down.

The wrong way down a one way street 
you got to turn it around, gotta turn it around.
The wrong way down a one way street
you got to turn it around, gotta turn it around, right now.

Turn It Around

You've been running around the hornets nest, 
You been buzzing around the hornets nest,
Don't you know tonight you don't, you don't have to cry.

Everybody wants to be the leader of the pack.
Nobody seems to wanna hang out with me in the back.
But you've been staying out late nights, sleeping on the kitchen floor.
You can keep on taking but you're always gonna find that you need a little more.

And you've been running around the hornets nest,
You been buzzing around the hornets nest,
But you know tonight you don't, you don't have to cry.

And if we try, we can sail across the ocean
Take our worries and we'll leave them all behind.

It's been three long years, what you been doing all this time?
Sold your soul to the devil and found your faith in your daily grind.
No matter where you go, you'll keep coming around to find
The the troubles you've been making are a figment of your broken little mind.

And if we try, we can sail across the ocean.
Take our worries and we'll leave them all behind.
Don't give up, it's alright.
At your lowest I'll still be right by your side,
so dry your eyes...

Cause you've been running around the hornets nest,
You been buzzing around the hornets nest,
But you know tonight you don't, you don't have to cry.

Hornet's Nest

Got a couple tickets for a one way flight.
Run away with me lady we can even leave tonight.
Up above the clouds, you know the sun will always shine.
On a permanent vacation where it's only you and I

Lady run away with me
Lady run away with me.

So you wanna be a star upon the screen.
Lookin' pretty like the ladies on the covers of the magazines.
But when you look that way you know it doesn't mean much to me
And that's not just a promise thats a bona-fide guarantee.

Cause from the very moment
I saw you and I knew
No matter where you're going
My heart will go there too.

So let's run away,
Lady run away with me.
So let's run away,
Lady run away with me.

Hand in hand we can be partners in crime.
And you can be my Bonnie while I can be your Clyde. 
There ain't nothing you can do that's gonna make me change my mind
And if you ever double dare me you may just find I might not leave your side because

From the very moment
I saw you and I knew
No matter where you're going
My heart will go there too.

Got a couple tickets for a one way flight.
Run away with me lady we can even leave tonight.
Up above the clouds, you know the sun will always shine.
On a permanent vacation where it's only you and I
Lady run away with me.

Run Away With Me

Click your heels and count to three,
One, two, three, one, two, three.
Click your heels and count to three,
One, two, three, one, two, three.

All the freaks out tonight, on the house drink it up
High fives all around, move this way, we can't get enough
Bring the DJ with the bumpin beats, you can clap your hand and you can stomp your feet.
The way you move you know it's killin' me you stand accused of murder in the first degree.
High times, never coming down, moon outside shining bright.
Just keep staring in my eyes and you'll be blinded by the light
But I gotta know,

How deep can you roll,
How deep can you flow,
How bright can you glow, 
How deep can you, can you, can you

Click your heels and count to three,
One, two, three, one, two, three. 
Click your heels and count to three,
One, two, three, one, two, three.

(You can rock it out till the early morn' light,
You can rock it out till the early morn' light.)

Now the odds on the bet are 50/50
If I'm going now then who's going with me
How do you know, if you never listen
How do you grow, when your roots are twisted.
All the people meet on the color spectrum
Let them all run with a depth perception.
Find the answers send you in the right direction,
low class, middle class, high class exception.
Move it along, no time to quit. 
Keep on cashing your counterfeit,
Fire it up, bring it on the scene,
I'm a superfly, superclean, mean machine so,

How deep can you roll,
How deep can you flow,
I've got to know,
Cause, we gonna rock it.

It's lights, camera, action.
I've got to know, if you want it, you gotta come and get it.
It's lights, camera, action.
Take it down to the boulevard, where the sun is never setting.

We gonna rock it till' the morning light,
We gonna rock this party right.
We gonna reach until we touch the sky,
We gonna rock this party right.

It's lights, camera, action.
I've got to know, if you want it, you gotta come and get it.
It's lights, camera, action.
Take it down to the boulevard, where the sun is never setting.

We gonna rock it till' the morning light,
We gonna rock this party right.
We gonna reach until we touch the sky,
We gonna rock this party right.

Click your heels and count to three,
One, two, three, one, two, three.
Click your heels and count to three,
One, two, three, one, two ,three.

NPR INTERVIEW - Out Of Bounds with Tish Pearlman

One of my favorite tunes of all time...  My acoustic rendition of Jim Croce's classic tune, Rapid Roy!  

RAPID ROY (LIVE)

It's a demo, I felt compelled to share... Close your eyes, turn it up, then tell me how it made you feel!

SPEAK FROM YOUR HEART

A powerful track indeed... please listen to these words and share if you enjoy it!

Natural Flow featuring Yawasoe

Road Man is the solo project of singer / songwriter Jon Petronzio, which fuses elements of reggae and soul into a captivating and unique blend.  After spending the better part of the last decade touring with reggae legends John Browns Body, Petronzio has produced a powerful sophomore album entitled “Midnight Hour”.  A record laden with anthemic interwoven hooks and soaring melodies, gorgeously arranged and topped off with painstakingly chosen lyrics.  The totality of these elements take the listener on a journey which begs a repeat listen and a shout from the rooftops to sing along.  Although hard to categorize, the common thread throughout are the honest and cutting voice of a passionate musician and song craftsman. Road Man will be touring the east coast in 2019 in support of the new release.
