about

This is the title track. Its a song about bouncing around, meeting new friends, playing music, and trying to start a band.

lyrics

Goin' places
I've never been
Meetin' friends along the way
Hope they'll stay
Or maybe we'll catch up another day

Over the horizon
We're spinin' round
Sunsets, Sunrises,
Some lost, Some found,
Some never leave this town

There's a place where you can go
In the hills or the valley below
Chasin' ancient tigers
Makin' strange encounters

Travelin' down another road
Find a guitar everywhere I go
Another gift, Another town, Another pal
Another chance to work on my sound

Came upon a stroke of luck
Bought this axe for twenty bucks
She taught me six or seven rhymes
Now I sing em' all the time
I get by on what I find

There's a place I like to go
In the hills or the valley below
Findin' hidden treasure
Makin' strange encounters
