Roam

 As I make it through each day
Will I stay, will I stay, will I...
Questions linger in this way
Will I stay, will I stay, will I...

What is it in me that just can't seem to find peace and rest?
Why is it I dream of moving and moving
I just can't be content

Am I just a man without a home?
Am I doomed to walk this path forever alone?

I was born roam
I was born roam

Man with no home
Man with no home
Man with no home
Man with no home

I always tell myself I'm free
Will I stay, will I stay, will I...
But if that's true, why do I repeat
Will I stay, will I stay, will I...


What is it in me that just can't seem to find peace and rest?
Why is it I dream of moving and moving
I just can't be content

Am I just a man without a home?
Am I doomed to walk this path forever alone?

I was born roam
I was born roam
 Man with no home
 Man with no home

There's always reasons not to stay
Will I stay, will I stay, will I...
But I can't tell if I'm running away
 Will I stay, will I stay, will I...

 What is it in me that just can't seem to find peace and rest?
Why is it I dream of moving and moving
I just can't be content

I was born to roam
I was born to roam
Man with no home
I was born to roam

The Road


It's been one year, I'm a different man
After getting laid off, starting over again
I gave up everything for a chance
and packed my ass up and moved to Kansas

Run, run, run
I'm free again
Run, run, run
You can't hold me down
Run, run, run
I'm free again
Run, run, run
I'm nomad bound

Looking back at this thread of change
That was always there, always the same
That's why I could never seem to remain
Cause the road has always called my name

Run, run, run
I'm free again
Run, run, run
You can't hold me down
Run, run, run
I'm free again
Run, run, run
I'm nomad bound

Run, run, run
I'm free again
Run, run, run
You can't hold me down
Run, run, run
I'm free again
Run, run, run
I'm nomad bound

*Recording Details: I initially recorded drums, guitars and bass for this back in 2010.  I recorded vocals in April of 2014.  After buying a cheap Estaban G-10 practice amp, I decided to re-record all the punk rock songs that weren't attached to my Anti-Social(ist) playlist with the amp.  I used my Heil PR-20 to record the amp in Ardour through my M-Audio Fast Track.  I never even reached 1 on the volume and recorded it fairly quietly.  I'm pretty happy how it turned out.  I wanted a sort of tinnish overdrive for the mid-80's punk sound.  I kept the original bass direct line recorded in Pro Tools from 2010, but redid the drums in Hydrogen, mostly using the standard kit with a few exceptions.
