Guitar rock with a touch of country rock and a bit of blues.
I'm Oliver Southgate, a singer/songwriter from Essex, Uk. My songs are a mixture of Rock, Country and Blues, but whatever style I'm playing it is all about the music. The songs are like little philosophy chunks on life as I see it.

Story behind the song
A man is on his way to Las Vegas driving through the desert. He is unhappy with his life and has been saving up to risk it all at the Roulette tables. He has been seduced by TV and movies and believes it can all be won with just one spin of the Roulette wheel. Thanks to my brother Alex Southgate for some nice hammond Organ sounds on this song.
Lyrics
Heading out on the desert road Nothing much to see The towns get smaller as they pass by They won't remember me I've got the top up cos it's so damn hot Temperature 105 A long straight road, No end in sight To where dreams live and die I'm gonna make it there I'm gonna take it all in I'm gonna win it all with just one spin I've been saving up for this day Will my dreams come alive on the Desert Highway A lonely drive to get me there There's no one else around A one way trip no time to spare Hopes and fears await me in that town I leave the desert and a part of me cries Up ahead they call my name I say goodbye to my thoughts inside Black or red decides my fame I'm gonna make it there I'm gonna take it all in I'm gonna win it all with just one spin I've been saving up for this day Will my dreams come alive on the Desert Highway As I stand at the table my chips are down The colours blur then start to slow My heart beats fast as the wheel goes round Pretty soon I'll know Solo I'm gonna make it there I'm gonna take it all in I'm gonna win it all with just one spin I've been saving up for this day Will my dreams come alive on the Desert Highway I'm gonna make it there I'm gonna take it all in I'm gonna win it all with just one spin I've been saving up for this day Will my dreams come alive on the Desert Highway on the Desert Highway on the Desert Highway
