about

Gear change or Sea change?

lyrics

You took a big step lately
Closed a door on a life a little crazy
Let your hair down with and spilt a little gravy
And took the long way home

Headed out of the city
With the top down the the car’s so pretty
And the bags packed now you’re ready
All the bridges have been blown

You put the foot down
Feel the freedom of not slowing down
Eat up the miles to the next town
Now the demons have gone underground

You’ve left the bills behind
bit parts that were tough to find
Bad reviews were so unkind
All the seeds were never sown

The book you wrote
To keep the business and the house a float
Packed in boxes on the disused boat
With the things you store below

No more agents meetings
Stock options and plastic greetings
Festivals with back row seating
Distribution that was taking a beating

At the motel reception
For sale sign it gets some attention
A lick of paint and some invention
A little wood a little stone
A country place
Small town gossip with lots of space
A breakfast order that ain’t no race
Just an office with a phone

Some rooms need attention
Have to look at the washrooms dimensions
That will keep my hands full a little tension
Hear the bell it’s coming from reception

I paint the walls and the entrance
A good price for a change of direction
Enough time to get some  redemption
A little touch a feel of home
A little touch a little home
