Driving into Night

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, a little while ago I watched a documentary on the great American depression where farmers were left with nothing except perhaps a car and enough petrol to get them out of the dust bowl. I really felt for them and the animals they had which were just skin and bone. Anyway an idea for a song.
Hope you enjoy.   Willie

We started driving such a time ago
The sun is going down yeah It sinks so low
Two people here with no place to go
So I'm turning on the lights
And driving into night

All we ever had has disappeared
And all that we have left is love
And no matter how I prayed to god above
So I'm turning on the lights
And driving into night

Slow down, slow down
Ain't no hurry here
No place to go
And all night to get there

Instrumental

She rests her head on my shoulder
How did it ever come to this
I feel the night is getting colder
So I'm turning on the lights
And driving into night

Another great song Willie and interesting to hear the story that gave you the inspiration to write it.

You are on top form here. This is magic. Just rolls along so effortlessly, Great vibe and yes, great how you formed that idea into a track.

yeah, I am with Mike S.... this is big... and bold.
a great story that i can tell from your voice you were totally into the vibe of this one... it sounds real and from the heart.

a great story, that is good to tell... and to remind us, when we think we got it bad...

but the awesome part of this is in a way, it is a good ending because she has her head on his shoulder... and they aren't great, but they are ok and have each other... I also like that!
