Story behind the song
Based on a semi true story. The biggest difference in the lyric is that my wife was with me in Rome. I just channeled the feelings of the moment when we missed our train into a more interesting story for this song. Call it creative license, lol. Mastered by Densyl Farrell Jackson
Lyrics
When In Rome (V-1) Sittin' here in Rome Missed my scheduled train Feelin' all abandoned Longing for home There's not another 'til four more hours So here I sit On my suitcase tower (Chr) So I.... Guess if I wasn't here I'd be somewhere But that's..... Neither here nor there 'Cause I'm going no where So I'm...Waitin' on the next train To take me down the tracks To pull.....Me away from the pain That's turnin' my heart..... black........... (V-2) People in a hurry Almost got robbed But for a watchfull eye I thanked him kindly A friendly pigeon Lookin' to share my bread As the other lost souls Check their schedules (Chr) So I.... Guess if I wasn't here I'd be somewhere But that's..... Neither here nor there 'Cause I'm going no where So I'm...Waitin' on the next train To take me down the tracks To pull.....Me away from the pain That's turnin' my heart black........... ( Inst. solo) (brdg/coda) I don't know if this trip (F#m, B7, D, A) Will turn out good or bad It's the steps I to take To erase the memory of her Farrell Jackson © 01-18-16
