about
One of the first two tracks released on 2015 yearlong album, Let It Rise. Released March 2015. More tracks to follow as a part of Let It Rise.
"Heading Down the Road" is a tune inspired by the desire to be a free spirit and live life to the fullest. The “road” in this song stands as both a symbol of, and the opportunity for, ultimate freedom. At a time when we all try to hold on so tight to who we’re supposed to be or what checkmarked box we belong in, this song suggests that taking control of your own ife and giving into every experience with an open heart and mind, is the way to go - Loving each moment we get in the sunlight and the rain.
lyrics
Heading down the road
Looking for the sun
Another night of loving
Man, it’s got me on the run
She always told me
I’d never stick around
I’ve got no direction
To hold me down
So let it rise
Let the sun shine down on me
Let it rain
I don’t care, I don’t care ‘cause I’m free
No I’ve got to be free, so
I’m heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Step into the sun
What do I see
All these seconds
Man, they’re flying round me
My life is a timepiece
And it’s spinning in the past
Cause we’re all wasted
Trying to make it last
So let it rise
Let the sun shine down on me
Let it rain
I don’t care, I don’t care ‘cause I’m free
No I’ve got to be free, so
I’m heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
I’m Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
In this life we get
Just one chance to live
Just one chance to stand on up and never look behind
So come on girl
Yeah, come on world
Just let me get my chance to see if I can be free, so
I’m heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
So let it rise
Let the sun shine down on me
Let it rain
I don’t care, I don’t care ‘cause I’m free
No I’ve got to be free, so
I’m heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
Heading down the road
