While making up this song, unknown to me, my best friend was in Houston, Texas, packing his truck. He threw his clothes and an old guitar into the back seat, and hit the road for home, Wilmington, NC. Arriving at the Thunderdome, I handed him a beer and some headphones, then cranked up "NEVER LOOK BACK". He freaked.. The song I had written and recorded was a concise description, both emotionally and eventfully, of his impromptu departure from Texas! But it was written and recorded the day before I had any idea he was leaving! WHAT? Fun eh? That's my story, and I'm sticking to it, for now...
Anyone know the Eagles. Sell this tune for me. And please add a screaming Hammond B-3 and email it back to me!
lyrics
NEVER LOOK BACK
Day has just begun
Goin' on vacation
Time to take some fun
Leave some aggravation
Nothing to be done
Rest and relaxation
No battles to be won
No time for complications..
Throw a few clothes in the car,
and load up my old guitar,
Crank the music up, roll the window down,
Baby, let's blow this town..and never look back...
Blowing in the wind
Needs no explanation
Don't care where I've been, got no expectations..
Wonder what we'll find just around the bend..
Did you read the sign, said the road never ends..
Throw a few clothes in the car,
and load up my old guitar,
Crank the music up, roll the window down,
Baby, let's blow this town..and never look back...

I've posted some barely adequate recordings here, many bad writer's renditions, of a few songs I've written in my life.
Most of my songs never recorded, likely never will be. No matter, just mutterings to myself. I'm a lyricist who believes that language is a dog chasing it's tail. Didn't immerse into human life as I probably should've, or perhaps I immersed too much. The dark births the light....more
