Roll On

I wrote this song in another midnight creative flurry.  I really like it. 


Roll On

by Kurt Lussier

I woke up on Monday morning too soon,
I had nothing better to do,
Then think about Sunday morning,
I packed her things and she was gone,
Had to watch her moving on, roll on, roll on, roll on.
Roll on, roll on, roll on.

You spend you life building something strong,
You teach her what’s right and fight what’s wrong,
Then on a Sunday Morning
You say goodbye and hope you’ve done enough
To help her roll on, roll on, roll on.
Roll on, roll on roll on.

Then you get a call without warning,
She says, “Dad there’s someone I want you to meet,
I think you’re going to really like him.”
Roll on, roll on, roll on.

And so I put her hand in his,
Another man that takes my place,
And I step back and watch her,
Roll on, roll on, roll on.

And you think of the games you played
And the sad days you were the only one,
To wash all her tears away and help her find
A better way,
Now you find your setting sun,
A place to ride, til you are done,
Roll on, roll on, roll on,
Roll on, roll on, roll on.

Sometimes the Wheels

Three songs this week, first Stupid Boy that I just posted and now Sometimes the Wheels.  Occasionally I wake up with a song that I've written in a dream.  I quickly lose them before I can get to a guitar.  But occasionally I trap enough of one to complete it.  This is one such song.  A little folksy guitar thingy.  Tomorrow I will fine tune my songwriters challenge song, called Doug McNally gets it right.  A songwriting trifecta of a week.


Sometimes the wheels.


Sometimes the wheels burn up the highways,
sometimes the wheels spin in my head,
Sometimes the road goes on forever
sometimes I can't sleep at all

there's a song,
that I keep singing
Some days, it don't sound no good at all,
but I, Just keep on a-singing,
just to drown out the noise outside these walls.

Sometimes the wheels burn up the highways
sometimes the wheels spin in my head
sometimes the road goes on forever
some days I can't sleep at all

there's peace on the horizon
somewhere there's hope, to set me free.
I'll just keep on a driving,
and chase what's right in front of me.

Sometimes the wheels.....


I'm a testament to what went wrong
Broken words and failing songs,
all alone when all else is gone.

Laughing at myself
like a punchline from a dream
Out of useful lies but finally free.

I know, yes I know
I know, yes I know.
there's one more place to go.

Sometimes....

Stupid Boy

Working on an intro song.  It's just a short little thing to lead into another song.

Stupid Boy

I'm just a stupid Boy,
     just a stupid Boy,
I'm a stupid boy, and I
     can't take my eyes off you.

I'm a stupid boy,
     just a stupid boy,
     such a stupid boy,
     and I don't know what to do.

I'm older now,
      my lifes' half way through,
I should be a wiser man
      but I think that a I am...

Just a stupid boy,
     just a stupid boy,
Just a stupid boy and I,
     can't take my eyes off you.

Like I'm fifteen once again,
Like I'm sixteen once again,
Like I'm twenty-two, and I
     don't know what to do

A stupid boy,
I'm just a stupid boy
such a stupid boy and I
can't take my eyes off you.
