Artist picture
Everybody and their brother is doing it now: writing, performing and recording at home. I do it, and, in fact, my brother does too. In my case, I play guitar, bass, dabble with keyboards, mandolin, and banjo, and sing. Furthermore, I've even built two my guitars and a bass, that last of which I gave to my brother. I do it all for fun and the love of music, with no commercial aspirations whatsoever.. My gratitude to the people at the Cakewalk Forum for all their valuable advice and criticism.

Story behind the song
a straightforward declaration directed toward our current administration.
Lyrics
1. I live in the land of nothing for free There’s no free lunch for you or for me Still every day as I look around I see that nothing’s impossible There’s no such thing as a free pass As we barrel down the freeway with our foot on the gas As I pull myself up by my bootstraps I ask is this really plausible? Chorus: We go flying into the night Driving through the dark with no headlights Headed for the future with out nose to the ground Looking for leaders where none can be found. 2. Every day my blood boils As I see our boys shuffle off this mortal coil Dying in a struggle for a rich man’s oil I say it’s reprehensible Your son too can join in the hunt But no President’s son can be found on the front Dirty work reserved for those who have not It’s indefensible Chorus: We go flying into the night Driving through the dark with no headlights Headed for the future with out nose to the ground Looking for leaders where none can be found. 3. Wealth and poverty stand side by side But every election we just let it slide We’re so far in debt we got our backs to the wall It’s incomprehensible
