Brad's Story
Life
to be sung by an angelic choir, with the strum a single guitar
playing bar chords:
"Movin Fast"
"used to ride those country roads for miles,
in his mamaÂs lap
against DaddyÂs arm,
hummin old songs
with the radio
a family chorus
far from harm
and now he sits remembering
such nights of past simplicity
the smell of vinyl seats
a family chevyÂs charm
thinkin of going nowhere
but home
(chorus~~~~ sing it girls):
"can we give it meaning?
can we make it last?
can we rub our palms
upon
the stars?
hoooold on hoooooold on
hooooold on weÂre movin fast"
"And though the roads
are smoother now, and the lights of barns
more frequent now
a midnight ride
across the county line
makes him smile
coz it all seems so decent
whether withering fields
in winter
whether planting green
in the spring
on a dark country road
such warmth...Expand for more
in recollectin'
thinkin' about goin nowhere but home"
+++++ chorus instrumental
