Story behind the song
It was suggested that I write something of my own instead of covering, and being that I'm not very creative, it was a hard go for me. A friend of mine helped out a bunch on this, creating the concept and the outline for the lyrics, I changed most of them but kept the idea behind them. The music is all mine, it's rusty though. Hope you enjoy my first venture into original music.
Lyrics
The light touched my face
The sun was shining bright
Made me think of days when I was home
You know that life is hard
We don't know what to do
We have to be apart to meet the bills
I'm tired of rooms with views
I can't stand this urban zoo
I'm gone with the morning dew
Cause i'm making my way back to you
Driving down the highway
past the rocky mountain tops
I hear your voice whisper in the wind
Oh you voice reminds me that I need to be home again
Now I'm looking back
On the day that I met you
I seen the sight of heaven on that day
I couldn't make a sound
I didn't know your name
Angel is all that I could think
How did we let this happen
I can't stand to be away
All I can think since I've been gone....is that....I need to be
Driving down the highway
Past soft lit fields of green
I can see your face gleaming in the sun
Oh seeing your face reminds me that I need to be home again
Driving down the highway
I can see the ocean shore
I can almost see you there just as before
I can't believe that I've arrived
Baby, please come look outside
I want you to know, that I've finally made it home
i want you to know, that I've finally....made it......home.
