One day I was banging out some chords on the guitar and my then-9-yr-old son starts singing "Music River, I hear ya callin". An instant song, thanks Cris.
lyrics
Headed south out of Boston
The coldest day of the year and it felt that way
I left because I knew our love was broken
I threw the rear view mirror out the car that day.
Chorus
Music river
I hear you calling
I’m headin down to find my new home
Music river
Got to keep rolling
Don’t leave me standing on your banks alone
Running blind on empty feelings
3 days of wondering why I’d gone this far.
But the sun was shining down on Austin
I sat on the shore and played my guitar
Chorus
Bridge
Running quietly through the city of love and peace
Strummin out a song on my old guitar
Sometimes all I think there’s only you and me
And sometimes I hear music in every bar.

All me. With a little help from my son. Cool.
