Good stuff I discovered on Songramp in 2015
Demo by Frank Michaels of Tennessee. Thanks to all who listen!
Eighteen wheels, fifteen gears and thousands o’ miles ahead
Chattenooga to Tucson and back…here I go again
I never look at the long haul, just points along the road
Milestones I picked out every hundred miles or so
[chorus]
Funny how those little steps
Sneak right up on you
Sometimes the only glimpse I get
Is in my rearview.
Milestones along the road
Sneakin’ right up on you
First one’s that old hospital up past 109
Big sign on the roof reads we deliver anytime
Then that red brick preschool I saw one openin’ day
A little girl cryin’… clingin’ to her daddy’s leg
[chorus repeat]
Then the boarded up movie house kinda like stuck in time
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn was still on the broken sign
Next it’ll be the Alumni Pub, stopped one day for lunch
Saw a dad buy his son a beer day the kid turned twenty one
[chorus repeat]
Last trip headin home from Tucson got a call from my wife
Tellin me our little son just walked for the very first time
[chorus repeat]
