driving down a lonely road
searching for signs to turn this life around
need to make some tracks on solid ground
this heart of mine has been carrying a heavy load
I've got the late night blues
singing a song, feeling confused
I've got the late night blues
singing a song, feeling confused
driving down a dead end road
need to put on the brakes before it's too late
find my way back to the nearest interstate
driving fast and free, talkin' to you in secret code
GPS, recalculating, recalculating, recalculating
my head is spinning, trying to find the road to you
seems destiny is a vast unknown, lost without a
clue
my hands are sweating, my heart is palpitating
Maybe, I need to call it a night,
call it a night,
call it a night
signs will be clearer in the morning light
light, light, light
On the radio, Coast to Coast talking about dreams
I'm in the fast lane, chasing lost pieces of my own
searching for signs through the headlight beams
I've traveled too far, too damn late to postpone
I've got the late night blues
singing a song, feeling confused
I've got the late night blues
singing a song, feeling confused
looking at the time, I wanna call your cell phone
how to reach you, your number is out of sight
driving in the night, I've never felt so alone
I wonder if we'll ever truly get it right
driving down a lonely road
searching for signs to turn this life around
need to make some tracks on solid ground
this heart of mine has been carrying a heavy load
Maybe, I need to call it a night,
call it a night,
call it a night
signs will be clearer in the morning light
light, light, light
author's note: A work in progress - thanks for reading
I've been sick and listening to some late night radio
and this was birthed. I guess when you sleep all
day you are restless in the night.

Oh my friend, I feel you on that lonely road, chasing lost pieces of your dreams. Sometimes the road does not go in the direction we had hoped. But it is always going the right way. Sometimes, we have to let the soul follow, in trust, and see what the path is bringing to us. A very beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteWords of wisdom my friend. Thank you
DeleteAlone and possibly on the wrong road. Like the part about recalculating.
ReplyDeleteMaybe all roads eventually lead to the right destination, in between you just get caught on a detour ot two? It’s about the full journey in some ways.
DeleteHi Truedessa, I am really sorry to hear that you have been sick I hope you are on the road to recovery. I was thinking that this sounds like a song that could be sung in a country western bar. I can feel it deeply.
ReplyDelete(You had said in my blog that you hoped I was well. Yes, I am indeed well. The reason you didn't 'see' me the past two weeks was because I was traveling out of country! Nice to feel that you noticed I wasn't around.)
Take care, my friend!
I am glad to hear you are doing well. Thanks for visiting and letting me know.
DeleteI think it sounds like a beer drinking/whiskey type song. Thanks for hearing the melody.
Very nice! And by the way, I think the invention of the GPS robbed the driving experience of a lot of its fun. I refuse to own one.
ReplyDeleteHaha - Do you take maps just in case? Sometimes a wrong turn can lead to an adventure.
DeleteSeriously navigation is fairly new. What did everyone do before it was a common feature in a car? I take a fold out map with me just in case. I once went over the border to Canada and my GPS gave out.
I love it, True. I LOVE it. Now, tell me about your secret code.
ReplyDeleteHi Blue
DeleteThank you, tell me how are you?
Sounds like this song needs a tune to go with it. Fine on its own as well, however.
ReplyDeleteThe tune is my head happily looping...
Deletei tasted the sadness and the plea to be found here. the weaving of the song is so well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you...
DeleteI love your late night song!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim, my mind likes to wander unknown roads..
DeleteThis is so heart-stirring .. sometimes we lose our way before reaching the destination ❤️
ReplyDeleteThat is true, I think its a learning curve of some sorts.
DeleteI like how you described this lonely, late night feeling as trying to communicate with secret code to someone where GPS and the phone aren't working.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, one needs to figure out that code..thanks for hosting tonight.
DeleteThis has the making of an award-winning country song. Take it to Nashville!
ReplyDeletehaha - thanks for that boost of confidence Bev...
DeleteI can almost hear the music. Nice
ReplyDeleteThanks, I can hear it in my head...
DeleteThis is such a vivid image of being lost in the fast lane at night... the music of the poem is great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bjorn birthed out of restlessness
DeleteThis begs to be put to music!
ReplyDeleteSmiles
DeleteThis is great. I knew it, at one time.
