A proper studio demo, produced by Brian Gagnon in Toronto. It's interesting to hear what he came up with based on the work tape, which is still posted. Believe it or not, that is still me on vocals. He pushed me a bit... Status: On hold in Canada

Life is a one way road – ©Terry Fernihough and Laura Ranieri

Mary – took a job in her home town
After years of city let down
She rented out her 10th floor condo
Packed her laptop in her 04 Honda
Only 32 feeling older
She should be married mamma told her
Hotshot lawyer left her flat,
She’s going home not coming back
Build
But as her wheels turn, through the intersection
That familiar gravel, feels like the wrong direction

CHORUS
Life is a one way road
Places change, sometimes you can’t go home
Face it, the past is long ago
Sign says that Life is a one-way road

V2/
Mamma did her room up in a new way
With a Martha Stewart duvet
They’ve long since sold the old oak table
It’s TV trays and digital cable

Coffee with Liza from the eigthth grade
She smiles politely but it feels fake
Baby pictures by the score
Nothing in common anymore
Build
And where they used to play – that little sidestreet park
It’s all been replaced – by a shiny new Walmart

CHORUS

Bridge
So she throws her bags back in her Civic
Thanks mom and dad –for the visit…
