Hey guys, I'm back again this week with another original song for Week 56 of the Steemit Open Mic Challenge! This one's called Road Made Man and is a brand new song I just finished writing today, so you guys will be the first ones to hear it. Lyrics below. (The hook is a play on words, as Galileo was the first person to come out about the earth rotating around the sun back in the day, proving the sun doesn't actually "rise," but that figure of speech can be a powerful thing and sometimes the science takes the backseat to a metaphor.) Enjoy!
I'm turnin' my back
and I ain't comin' back
to this old town again.
I'm cuttin' my ties
and I'm sayin' good byes
and I might lose some friends.
And I might seem a bit unstable
And this might just be the end
But even Galileo said the sun will rise again.
I'm itchin' my toes
And I'm searchin' for soul
And some confidence.
I'm losin control
So I'm hittin' the road
Cus I'm a road made man.
And I might seem a bit unstable
And this might just be the end
But even Galileo said the sun will rise again.
And the seasons all will change, and come back again.
And the color will all fade, but will be back again.
And the leaves will all fall down, but they'll grow back again.
And I might be leaving now, but I ain't comin back again.
I'm turnin' my back
and I ain't comin' back
to this old town again.
I'm cuttin' my ties
and I'm sayin' good byes
and I might lose some friends.
And I might seem a bit unstable
And this might just be the end
But even Galileo said the
sun will rise again.
Thanks for listening,
-Charles
