It took a while to put this one together but I think it turned out kinda cool. Lately I’ve noticed the glaring similarities between this line of work and the life of a traveling salesman… recorded in room 123 at the Holiday Music Motel…
here are the words
________
i guess i’m lost on the trail, thought i knew what i was after but i’m just swinging in the air
are we better off aimless and out of luck? cuz maybe we’re just too drunk on the thrill of the hunt…
now we’re living show to show and apartments come and go
we never take it slow. we’re just burning up the road
now i got the strangest cough. when i told you everything would be alright, baby i was wrong
i guess i’m lost lost lost. i guess i’m lost with a snake-oil salesman’s job, just slitherin’ along

I got to participate in a songwriters week held there last week (Dark Songs). It was the 3rd event like it I’ve been to. Seems like I was able to churn out a lot more ideas in the past but this last week I felt totally unproductive and stalled out for the most part. I managed to finish this tune but it was something I had been messing with for a couple weeks so I didn’t get my co-write on as much as I wanted to. Working with Heidi Spencer was really cool though. She sings on it and we did another tune I really dig called “2 Saloon Ghosts” that we have to record still…
