Home recording and general music post from the archived Yabb Recording Website Message Board. Some of the info here may be outdated but many of the audio recording and home studio tips are still good. Note: The only tags I made and attempt to convert are italics, bold, center and underline. So if you see some gibberish surrounded by brackets, just ignore it.

Subject: RE-WRITE - LONELY ROADS - Added Chorus
by Curtis   |   06/07/01 at 23:49:13

Lonely Roads
[I](c)2001 Curtis Cameron[/I]

V1
Dont' you ever grow tired [I](boy)[/I]
Of walkin' those dusty roads?
Don't you ever grow weary [I](man)[/I]
Of searchin' for a home?

You've left a dozen lives behind
As if they weren't enough
The sun goes down behind your eyes
Yet you still search of love

Chorus
Those LONELY ROADS are byways, to another broken heart
Your LONELY ROADS are highways, to another token start
You tell yourself your movin' on, to find that greener grass
The truth is your still runnin' from, the remnants of your past

[I]Walk Alone, LONELY ROADS , Empty places
Walk Alone, LONELY ROADS , Empty faces[/I]

V2
How many times have you settled down
And built on shifting sands?
How many towns have you called home
Then left, a wounded man?

I've heard you say, your time has come
But your shadow's grown too long
Your wind is blowin' at your back
And it sings a broken song

Chorus
Those LONELY ROADS are byways, to another broken heart
Your LONELY ROADS are highways, to another token start
You tell yourself your movin' on, to find that greener grass
The truth is your still runnin' from, the remnants of your past

[I]Walk Alone, LONELY ROADS , Empty places
Walk Alone, LONELY ROADS , Empty faces[/I]

[B]V3[/B]
You've spent your life, driven by
A silent, searching muse
Haunted by the loves you've left
And the lonely roads you choose

You've counted miles with your heart
Each one you've walked alone
But each step closer to your mark
Is further from your home

[I]Walk Alone, LONELY ROADS , Empty places
Walk Alone, LONELY ROADS, Empty faces[/I]

[I]Walk Alone, LONELY ROADS , Empty places
Walk Alone, LONELY ROADS, Empty faces[/I]
