Acoustic middle of the road.
The Bent Strings are: Paul Mckendrick Just a rough mix of songs I wrote and recorded as a hobby. Patience and Persistence are NOT to be under rated. Actually I love the songwriting process, it's recording that I'm not too fond of, but there are usually surprises along the way. Anyone wishing to do a cover, remix, or whatever is welcome and encouraged, just send me an email.

Story behind the song
I'm from the east coast of Canada, and anyone from there is familar with Kitchen Party Songs. This is my attempt at writing one. The introduction is John Prine dedicating "Thats the Way that the World Goes 'Round" to the folks of the Miramichi. (Thanks Tim) *"David Adam" is David Adam Richards. A well known and respected Miramichi Author/Writer
Lyrics
Chords: Verse G D G C G D CDG Chorus G D C D G D CDG Bridge Em D Em D Am C Em D Am C Em D A long time ago, in a town far away I nurtured a childhood, still with me today And though I've grown, and like where I stay I still have a longing to say Take me, take me Back to the place that I need to be Take me, take me Back to the Miramichi I've been many places of size big and small And with few exceptions, I've enjoyed them all And though I still travel and move till this day I still have a longing to say Take me, take me Back to the place that I need to be Take me, take me Back to the Miramichi As sure as the salmon return there to spawn And David Adam* characters are alive in this song I'll be back again, I'll be back again I'll be back there someday I'll be back again Take me back again I'll be back there someday Take me, take me Back to the place that I need to be Take me, take me Back to the Miramichi Back to the Miramichi Back to the Miramichi
