about

Sometimes you feel like having a good old party with some old friends in an environment where you feel at home and want to go back to.

lyrics

Well I've been working all day baby nine till five
Just keeping it up and staying alive
We’re gonna have a party from five till nine
And keep on moving till the midnight jive

So bring me a bottle from the liquor store
We can drink some booze and maybe get some more
I wanna dance with the girl next door
And make it till dawn on the dancefloor

Take me down to this river
Take me up to these grounds
Take me down where the life goes round and round
Take me down to this river
Take me up to these grounds
Take me down where the life goes round and round
Homeward bound

Yeah we’re gonna have a party with some good old friends
You don’t need a word just to understand
So get up girl and don’t take a stand
We can sleep by the fire sure we can

Caus ive been driving all night gotta let of steam
Once in a while we gotta get things real
So bring your pie and I’ll take my cream
Its not as weird as it may seem

Take me down to this river
Take me up to these grounds
Take me down where the life goes round and round
Take me down to this river
Take me up to these grounds
Take me down where the life goes round and round
Homeward bound

The rhythm is rolling like the good old days
Girls are moving in many ways
Will you come on over do you wanna stay
We can go outside and maybe break away

So give me some candy like you gave before
Lets go back home and maybe move some more
Or you wanna be the last one on this floor
Then I am going home right through this door

Take me down to this river
Take me up to these grounds
Take me down where the life goes round and round
Take me down to this river
Take me up to these grounds
Take me down where the life goes round and round
Homeward bound

Dieter van der Westen Amsterdam, Netherlands

The new album Honesty of the hopeful is an ode to everyone who makes the best of life in an honest way and does not give up. The melodies on Honesty of the Hopeful are simple and hook into the themes of the lyrics, sometimes energetic and enthusiastic, sometimes tragic and compelling.
Americana, Folk, Alt-Country with a bit of Soul. ... more
