A song about chasing a dream and playing on the road
Artist picture
We are a group of people who enjoy songwriting and then recording the songs. We do it for fun.
The Overtone Gang is a group of people who enjoy songwriting and then recording the songs. The structure of the gang is flexible and people may participate on one CD and not on another. It's their choice. Each person is allowed to pursue their own projects and come back to join the gang. Egos get in the way of music so we try hard to eliminate the reasons for it. 7 different people have been involved in the first three CDs. The Cycle of Life CD included a lot more people (16 in total). Our CD "Relations" had only four people. On our latest CD, Earth, there were three of us, Melanie Broussard, Buddy Trotter and Danny Liggett. The gang has written and recorded songs for 8 CDs. These were recorded by ourselves (no record deal). We duplicate our own CDs, design and print out the booklet and put the jewel case together. We do it for fun.

Story behind the song
My wife Grace gave me the idea for this song. Howard provided the excellent guitar and mandolin work on this song.
Lyrics
Another night in a No-Tell motel A nameless town in the middle of hell Another stop on this endless tour One more crowd I have to endure The same old songs night after night Played’em so much they don’t sound right I go through the motions I know the drill A smile on my face but inside I feel Like I’m.. Blown by the wind, pushed by the tides Burnt by the sun, ‘til I’m all empty inside Chasing this dream that’s so hard to see I’m beginning to think, it’s not meant to be Many years ago I started this quest Thinking that I was better than the rest I would tell my stories, sing my songs Up the spotlight is where I belong But fame will play a trick on you It’s just out of reach and clearly in view It will lead you on day after day ‘til you’re far behind and all you can say You’ve been.. Blown by the wind, pushed by the tide Burnt by the sun ‘til you’re all empty inside Chasing a dream you can almost see ‘til you realize it’s not meant to be This old six string has been through it all Through the bad times the days I stood tall And it’s still here, here at the end Seem like it’s been my only friend Gonna find me porch with an old rocking chair Me and this guitar we’re playing from there I’ve said it before, but you wait and see This time I’m done, I’ll no longer be Blown by the wind, pushed by the tides Burnt by the sun, ‘til I’m all empty inside Chasing this dream That’s so hard to see I’m beginning to think, It’s not meant to be
