It’s been a while since I’ve made an #openmic entry. I’ve been enjoying a nice day off work, cleaning around the house and blasting some music. This song popped up on one of my Spotify stations and I forgot how much I love the lyrics!
Eve 6 had a couple hit songs back in the late 90s/ early 2000s and I remember purchasing the cd and falling in love with the lyrics to this one. There’s something so peaceful about taking a drive alone and cranking up the tunes!
The family will be home soon and I only have the house to myself for a short while. So I learned this as quickly as I could and threw it together with some basic power chords. I wanted to play it with full chords, but time is of the essence! I messed up a lot and it’s horribly inaccurate, but I guess that’s kinda my style ;) I did the best I could with the time I had. Here’s my super simple acoustic adaptation of the power pop song.
Here are the lyrics:
Tonight I feel ambitious and so does my foot
as it sinks on the pedal
I press it to the floor
I don't need a girl, don't need a friend
Cause my friend Lonesome's unconditional
We're flying forever bored
And for a moment I love everything that I see and think and feel
I love my broken side view mirror
Cause it's so perfect I'm so perfect you're so perfect you're not here
I hear the change in gears
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
This is an open road song
The night is beckoning
Although I have nowhere to go but home
Feels good to be alone
With every turn comes a new frame of mind
If I could frame my mind
Where would it hang?
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road
This is an open road song
Thanks for checking it out!
