This starts with a country-style chorus, but the verses owe more to Bo Diddley!

Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate.

Story behind the song
This started with the country chorus - but then the verses went off at a tangent.
Lyrics
UFS 08 Lonesome Highway Start with chorus E Gonna take a break from that Lonesome Highway B7 E Gonna take a rest from that daily grind Gonna slow my pace on some scenic byway B7 E Find a place to ease my troubled mind Verses (faster ) E A E (E A E) With all you’ve seen and all you’ve done E B7 E ( E B7 E) Still gotta remember where you come from We all need to know our roots If you wanna move on to those growing shoots See those businessmen on that train Some of them don’t remember their name See those wild geese flying by They know where and they know why See that politician’s smile Makes you want to run a mile Hear the deceit hear the cant Set’s you off upon a rant Papers full of celebrities Brings you down onto your knees Sporting heroes made from clay Do their best to spoil your day
