No Easy Road (To Easy Street) Gallup/Goodwin - 06/25/03 08:06 AM

Hey folks,
How's everybody doing? Hopefully great. Well,I ran across a lyric a few days ago by Bobbie Gallup and thought it was a really well written song. So with her permission I put some music down for it. It was kinda funny, I didn't read the other posts until after I did the music and the way the song turned out was very similar to what people were describing. This place rocks. It was a blast to record this one. Lots of fun.
Basically what you'll hear is some drums, bass, rythm, lead guitar, and lead vocal. All the music was performed by me so there may be some messups here and there. The drums are done using loops. Hehe.
I'm thinking a Randy Travis vibe on this one. Or even more Bluegrassy in a final production. What do you guys think?
No Easy Road (To Easy Street)
© 2003 Lyrics: Bobbie Gallup ASCAP / Music: Brock Goodwin
It was always right around the corner
Up around the bend
But as days and years flew past
I wondered where it all would end
Traveled on some backroads
Following my bliss
Hitchhiked on some interstates
But it's all come down to this
CHORUS:
There ain't no easy road
To easy street
Gotta rest my soul
Get off my feet
Gotta look inside myself
For what makes life complete
There ain't no easy road
To easy street
Don't need no killing on the market
Or be no millionaire
Long as I can face that mirror
And like what I see there
Don't need to keep up with the Joneses
Or win the lottery
As long as I can share the joy
That God has given me
CHORUS:
There ain't no easy road
To easy street
Gotta rest my soul
Get off my feet
Gotta look inside myself
For what makes life complete
There ain't no easy road
To easy street
Bridge:
I've taken all the detours
Paid my share of dues
Had to spend time in the valleys
Walkin' off the blues
But the mountaintops were worth the time
An' the struggle that they took
To overcome each obstacle
To get a better look....cause
CHORUS:
There ain't no easy road
To easy street
Gotta rest my soul
Get off my feet
Gotta look inside myself
For what makes life complete
There ain't no easy road
To easy street
