This song was a collaboration between myself and Wig Nelson. I wrote and played the music and Wig wrote and sang the vocals and also wrote and played the flute part. Thanks Wig!!
I played in a few bands over the years but now I just write songs in my project studio.
Story behind the song
This song was written for my 7 year old Brittany Spaniel who died from cancer in Feb.05 He always hung out with me in my studio, this was the last song I was working on when he died. He always loved to ride with us in the car, that's where the Title came from. I wrote the music and Wig Nelson wrote the lyrics. Wig Nelson also sang the vocals for me and also played and wrote the flute part.This was a collaboration between the two of us.Wig lives in Florida and I live in Pennsylvania. We exchanged files over the internet. Thanks Wig I really appreciate it, it was fun.
Lyrics
In my way, I tried to show you
How good it was to know you
And how it felt to ride by your side
In my way, I told you not to hurry
I told you not to worry
Everybody cries on the last ride.
There's something more that I wanted to say
Here's to our dreams when we're back in the day
Now dry those tears from your eyes
I've got a place I can wait for my ride
