Steemit Open Mic Week 44 I Want Home (original song)
Hi there fellow Steemians
This was written while touring the UK with a country/rock band. heavy snow meant we were unable to get to some of the gigs (or the venue seats lacked bums for the same reason!) Anyway, I soon realised that living the dream of being a touring band in the UK isn't necessarily what you might imagine.
I hope you like it
p.s. I thought this might be a good opportunity to experiment with the new "looper pedal" birthday prezzie. I've a bit to learn yet... 😊
I Want Home
Saturday night and the band’s not playing
Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing right
The club’s been gone ages or that’s what they’re saying
I want home wanna be there tonight
The bright lights may lure you to all the wrong places
When the comfort you’re seeking is so hard to find
And the city’s so busy, a sea of sad faces
I want home, wanna be there tonight
Too many nights working and waiting
Too many miles to get back to you
The choices we’re making and calling it freedom
You said it was something that we had to do
Far in the distance a siren is wailing
A problem for someone that I’ll never know
But I stop for a moment, ‘cause I know you’ll be waiting
I want home, wanna be there tonight
