I had a painful night and I'm trying to wake up so I listened to "The River", then decided to rework it to keep me distracted until I can move (which needs to happen soon... gotta go go go!)


"The Roadway"

You know a dream is like the roadway
Ever changin' as it flows
And the dreamer's just a driver
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in time
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the lines...and

I will drive my Fiero
'Til the twisties run dry
Like a bird upon the wind
This roadway is my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will drive my Fiero
'Til the twisties run dry

Too many times we drive aside
And let the curves slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you drive upon the highway
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the mountains
And dare to steer the ride.

Yes I will drive my Fiero
'Til the twisties run dry
Like a bird upon the wind
This roadway is my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will drive my Fiero
'Til the twisties run dry

There's bound to be sharp corners
And I know I'll have to crawl
But with the good Lord as co-pilot
I can make it through them all

Yes I will drive my Fiero
'Til the twisties run dry
Like a bird upon the wind
This roadway is my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will drive my Fiero
'Til the twisties run dry

Yes, I will drive my Fiero
'Til the twisties run dry
'Til the twisties run dry

I played the song and mentally inserted your lyrics. Very good. Someone with some musical talent should record this. We could make it the Fiero Creed.

nice job!

My thread title got cut off again. It wasn't even as long as others on here! It used to read:
Garth Brooks "The River", Fiero Style

Anywho, this is actually one of the few songs I can sing well because it stays in my limited octave range. If I had a karaoke version for the background, I might be able to record it. I don't play guitar so that wouldn't work, heh. :/

I'll try and dub it tonight for you. I have the Karaoke tunes...

Nicely done!

Still at work! 13 hours and counting! Lots of meds! *sigh*

12:45 AM, I'm still here! I lost count! 16 hours! I'm gonna stop shouting now!
Time to go , I have to be back here in 8 hours. How's that for a constant battle to stay between the lines?

You did great!. You could even do a Garth album....

"Well I'm shameless....when it comes to drivin' you.
You go any where I drive you to....any place at all....

And I'm helpless....when I shop the Fiero store....
You just keep me buyin' more....I'll buy anything you need...

You know that I'm not a man who's ever found, what I couldn't fix what I couldn't tear down
I could walk away from any other car I've owned, but I'd never owned a Fiero before...

Well I'm shameless.....swore I'd never compromise, but a swap has made me improvise
Cradle's on the floor.....


I'll let someone else finish it.....

That's great! ^^^

I'm finally starting to recover from work last week, now it's time to go back to work! Well, that's the way of things I guess. It pays the bills and some more.
