YOU GET DOWN THE ROAD

 been hesitant to post this but its time as they say... laid it down and move on... hard lessons in life when things go silent... one thing I have learned from a very traumatic childhood is how to get back up on my feet... you got no other choice but to get back up and keep swinging... the best "revenge" in life and love they say is a life well lived in encouragement and being love... some are up for the journey... some pretend... some live in fear... I cannot do either... its one step forward... each and everyday... look around and see there are others with you... love you, Brander

YOU GET DOWN THE ROAD
by Brander Raven McDonald, Norway 2024

1. SHE WENT WEST & I WENT EAST
SEARCHING FOR TRINKETS LOST PAST THE FEAST
SHE MADE A PROMISE & I MADE A VOW
I SAT WITH A VIKING, SHE SAT WITH SACRED COWS

SPICE TRADE OF LOVE AND FEELING FORLORN
SHE CAME HOME WITH A HEART LIKE A STONE COLD STORM
AND BOARDIN’ MY JUNKET AND OFF TO THE SKY
I WONDERED ALOUD WHY SHE EVER DID FLY

CH: WELL MY DREAMS ARE MADE TO BEWITCH
ITS A WONDER WHY I EVER STEPPED OUT ON THIS LEDGE
SOMEBODY WARNED ABOUT THE TREMBLIN’ DAWN
THAT YOU GET DOWN THE ROAD IF YOU JUST KEEP MOVIN’ ON

2. SO BY THE WATER SIDE AND A PROMISE OF LOVE
HAD ME WONDER WHY IT COME CRUMBLIN’ DOWN
AS THE WINDS BRING THE PAIN LIKE SHIPS OF THE PAST
I DREW UP MY SAIL LIKE A VIKING MAST
CH:

3. AS I TURNED MY HEAD TO SEE IF SHE STOOD THERE
ALL COULD SEE WERE WAVES ON THE SHORE
WITH NO ONE TO WAVE ME OR LOVE ME GOODBYE
I KNEW THIS “LOVE” HAD NO TWINKLIN’ EYE
CH:
