Lyrics
I'm packing my bags, grabbing my hat. I'm hitting the road.
I'm leaving behind my second thoughts. I'm dropping the load.
Got my guitar. I've got my songs. Ready to roll.
I'm Hitting the Road!

Some say think twice, better get back, wouldn't be right.
Just dream a dream but don't step out, stay out of sight.
I'm telling you now I'm making my way, shining a light.
I'm Hitting the Road!

(bridge)
Comes a time to grab the wheel Turn the key, make it start
My timing's set, this moment's real.
A new song from my heart!

(instrumental for one verse]

I'm taking a chance, spinning the wheel, throwing the dice.
I'm telling a tale, prayin' a prayer, makin' it nice.
I'm gettin' in tune, thinking it once, singing it twice.
I'm hittin' the road!

I'm gearing it up, rarin' to go, reading the signs.
No stick in the mud, no rock in the road gonna break my spine.
I'm takin' the high way, doing it my way, draggin' the line.
I'm hittin' the road!

@richard_schletty , what blew me away (and surprised me) on this song was your unexpected top drawer harmonic playing. So cool!

@jmill I loved collaborating on this song – lyrics, vocals, harmonica and mixing. I only played harmonica on a precious few songs. One notable song was my solo creation called "Rise Up, Cowboy" which was inspired by the film Rustlers Rhapsody. I should post it here.
Wow, what a golden era for us at MacJams. "We coulda been contendas." LOL – in another life, maybe.
Keep going.
