Liner Notes: 

Started back on the 12th of September. I discovered part of the lyric and finished it today to at least a song demo form.

Roland R-05 handheld recorder
Yairi DY-46 acoustic guitar
T.C.'s voice

Lyrics: 

Gotta west coast woman in an east coast gown
Who can barely breathe
Gotta west coast woman in an east coast gown
Trying to break free
She's gonna run away with me
We're southern bound

Been sitting here waiting at least three hours
And I'm all alone
Been sitting here waiting at least three hours
Sitting with my phone
Waiting here on my own
To be southern bound

Well, the road is long and lonely
But I'm sure we'll find our way
If she decides to leave with me
We'll get on the road today

It's almost morning and I'm still here
Waiting for her
It's almost morning and I'm still here
The world's beginning to stir
Remember what we were
I'm southern bound

Gotta west coast woman in an east coast gown
Thinking 'bout me


Please keep your comments respectful, honest, and constructive. Please focus on the song and not the demo.

Heartbreaking...Clear solid recording on that handheld recorder. Enjoyed listening.

Great story. And the guitar sounds really good here.

So much here, told in an open way that lets the listener work it out. Love that hook, west coast woman in an east coast gown. Love how it's getting later and later, and this guy is still going to drive south with or without her.

I think because I grew up in the sout this has extra layers of meaning.

love the elliptical storytelling. you leave plenty of room for the listeners to fill in the blamks with their own stories.

Could definitely hear this being developed out. It's got such a solid structure to it, something to build on if you wanted to. I love some of the guitar work - particularly where you're strumming a little riff at the end of certain lines. Catchy hook too. Really nice!
