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....
