It's a One Way Ride

 Just about the time

my assumptions fell

you found your balance

you were under a spell

 

Hey, it’s a one way ride

There’s no turnin’ back

no room for your pride

 

You said you were lonely

looking for a new friend

looks like you’ve recovered

somebody help you mend?

 

Hey, it’s a one way ride

There’s no turnin’ back

no room for your pride

 

I guess you’ve realized

A change was necessary

midnight on the water

gives you full sanctuary

 

 now you cruise the territory

you own the wide open road

the horizon welcomes you

you learned the secret code

 

Hey, it’s a one way ride

There’s no turnin’ back

no room for your pride

 

there’s no turnin’ back

it’s a one way ride

one way ride

one way ride

    What a wonderful start! I love those lines. Get right into the meat of it.

    The harmonica works really well with this style of song too.

    Great to see you back!

    Thanks RDM - harmonica may be a little weak. Previously I dubbed in the harp hand-held but for some reason Audacity won't allow that extra track now.

    I love everything about the song, it's my kind of piece.

    The delivery was perfect.

    An absolute diamond in the rough.

    Good to have you back.

    Look forward to more.

    Very unique I love the minimal guitar base strings style. And in a world of big sound songs, I'm a big fan of just a guy and a guitar...the story line and harp...perfect icing on your believable vocals cake.

    Thanks SF - Had a good time in the song kitchen baking that particular cake.

    Hi @RCJames nice to meet you. I love the way you stated your piece but didn't bash on your subject. You pretty much accept that she has the free will to do as she pleases and let her go to do so. But making your point clear as to where you stand 'no room for your pride'. And that you're not taking her back. Now, for that listen and according to other comments, it will be a great one....yep! Love how your vocals fit the song and the harp is really cool!

    Thank you Renee - helluva sharp analysis - surprising how you knew what I didn't know I did LOL
