One More Broken Highway is out now.
Story behind the song
This was actually the first song that I ever wrote, or I should say half wrote. I got a tune in my head and thought it sounded like a good country song. Old country. One day I realized it was the tune of Blue Christmas. Instead of playing anything on the track, I decided to just put a karoke band in the background. It was already the sound that I wanted and its a goofy track anyways. And although it didn't make the album, I like it for what it is. It's the only lyrics that I've written where a character is made up.
Lyrics
Billy Rose walks a green mile.He's been serving his sentance for a while. They say he shot a man in Memphis. For fooling with his wife. They say he told the cops they're wrong, it was she who took his life. Early Tuesday, Billy, got off early. He got some flowers and brought'em only to see. His hand caress her neck. His neck go snap and crack and Billy Rose Billy Rose Billy Rose. Now Billy Rose is laying on the table. The crowds a waiting for Billy's final saying. And his wife she waves goodbye. One finger to the sky. And says goodnight. Billy Rose says goodnight.
