Hi MKM smile

Thanks for the read and comments. I'm guessing when I get it recorded it won't sound anything like what I got in my head but it'll be a fun one to get into. 

Cheers and Thank Again smile


Hiya Buvvy smile

Thanks my friend. Years of too much partying led to a spaced out and somewhat vivid imagination. lol Thankfully there's Spellcheck or you wouldn't be able to read this.

Cheers, Muchly Appreciated smile

P.S.  I have been trying to return your Email but it keeps coming back? Everything OK on your end?

Hi Roger smile
I'll be working seriously at figuring out Cubase in a few weeks time. I'll be on holidays then and won't have work on the brain to bog me down. smile I'm also looking at picking up a descent mic (Shur57 or 58). It won't make my voice purdy...but it'll help some what.

Cheers and Thanks for the read and commenting smile
PS...I haven't got your package yet. I hope it didn't get lost in the mail sad

Hiya BV smile
As a younger lad that was the road I drove, thankfully I made it this far and can look back on it as lesson learned.
My gear is minimal and I am presently figuring out Cubase as my other recordings were done on Audacity. (Good Freeware Program for recording, Check with Russ on that) I figure I had the smarts for learning it but I was wrong on that count (too many brain cells lost in my youth lol) Any who hopefully something soon.

Cheers and Thanks for the time and comments smile

Hi Mark smile

I can hear a real smooth bass line following this piece. smile

You got to get a keyboard or hook up with some mates. You write some good songs that deserve to have some backing. smile

I wish I could spill out lyrics overnight like this.

Well Done smile

I hear ya there on the wrong road as that was the road I took in my younger days. I was one of those guys that went straight ahead when I came to the fork in the road. lol

Thanks for read and comments. smile

Hey Selso smile
I did a re-write on the lift in the song. I hope I didn't wreck it.
Have a boo and let me know what you think, I'm still struggling with recording so it might be awhile yet.

Appreciate the enthusiasm  smile


Hi Ark smile
This place takes place in the southern states but  I'm guessing unfortunately it's a world wide event.

Cheers and Thank You for the read and comments smile

Hi toots smile

The lyrics have been changed, Hope they still read OK.

There ya go Jim smile   You've been Chordieized smile

Great sound that comes out of such a small package, now we're looking forwards to the video.
If they ever sell the H2 up here I'll be thinking big time on spending some cash on one. Lots of great reviews ...and the proofs in the pudding.

Well Done smile

Hey PapaTom smile

Sorry to hear your in a funk. Hang in there, tomorrow is another day and it can't rain forever smile
Meanwhile, Kudos for reaching out.... it's not easy most times.

Here's a great song, live version but still sounds great and it's pretty easy play on the guitar.

Cheers smile

This is a Dylan style bluesy ranting kind of song. A little wordy with lots of harp and blusey lead in the breaks. I'm also toying with putting in a bridge, but don't want it to be too wordy. smile

Drive a Different RoadKen Peters May 16 2010


[E]Moving to LA, I made a pit stop in El Paso.


[E]This freaky dude approached me and he offered me some grasso.


[E]He whispered to me cautiously this bud will do you right.


[A]One hit will knock your socks right off, one toke will rock your night.


[A]It's a special blend of mellow and I call it Texas Yellow, it's a [B7]bomb.




I know


[E]Jimmy smokes crack but I don't care,


[E]He's a freak show on his own.


[E]Existing in the dirty shadows,


[E]Jimmy's mind is blown.


[E]Shaky hands and rubber bands.


[E]Needle tracks his skinny thighs.


[E]Got to keep on looking got to get another high.




[A]So Ilooked up to this freaky dude.


[A]I stayed calm and in [E]control.


I said[B7]thanks but really no thanks man,


[A]You see I Drive a Different [E]Road.




[E]Half way to LA, I stopped in Phoenix Arizona.


[E]This sexy girl approached me just to show me what she's made of.


[E]She smiled at me alluringly then winked and gave a sign,


[A]One hundred bucks will get you where the warm sun never shines.


[A]I'm a special blend of pleasure, I'm a rocking desert treasure, I'm a [B7]bomb.


I know


[E]Jasmine likes to hook for cash.


[E]She stalks the dim lit night.


[E]Looking for a John to please,


[E]A lover at first sight.


[E]Cheap perfume and motel rooms,


[E]She shares her tawdry wares.



[E]Got to keep on hooking cause there ain't no one that cares.




[A]So I looked back to this sexy girl.


[A]I stayedcalm and in [E]control.


Many [B7]thanks but really no thanks Ma'am


[A]You see I Drive a Different [E]Road.




[A]I made it to LA and I was finally settled in.


When my [E]neighbor dude knocked on my door, he's pushing drugs and sin.


I'll [A]get you anything you want, I'll get you what you need.


I'm [B7]down the hall, just through the wall, Oh man just ask and you'll [E]receive.


[B7]


[E]Now I dig faded worn out blue jeans.


[E]I dig rocking songs.


[E]I dig a plain white tee shirt man,


[E]I dig my hair worn long.


[E]I dig smoking cigarettes,


[E]I dig a knock down fight.


[E]But I don't dig those pushers keep those hookers out of sight.


So I [A]looked out to my neighbor dude.


[A]I stayed calm and in [E]control.


I said [B7]thanks but really no thanks man.


[A]I Drive a Different [E]Road


Many [B7]thanks but really no thanks.


[A]I Drive a Different [E]Road.
