Description
An old song I wrote for Sixth Gear back in 2009 but never recorded or rehearsed. Recently dug it out and revised it. It's about a trip with an old ladyfriend, and the region of KY typically referred to as they Pennyroyal, or "Pennyrile" for locals haha.
Lyrics
From rolling hills and valleys To narrow streets and alleys We saw it all through the windshield Cars passing by Road rising high Just us and two lanes through the fields From sunshine to starlight From dusk until dawn We rode on without a care I turned on the air You let down your hair There was nothing but freedom out there Along for the ride You by my side We kept ridin' on down the track So far away Far from today Now there is no turning back But now all we have is today Somehow you faded away The green hills faded to black And now we've gone off track The blue skies have faded to gray I don't remember the way To get to the places we claimed And all of the streets that we named
