about

Song about bandlife and family. Making music is for most of the time travelling and waiting, and for the family especially the last thing.

lyrics

On my way
I put my guitars and my amp in the back of my car.
Put my navigation to our house where you are.
Now I am trying to find the guys to drive along.
But It’s again the banjo player that is gone.


Well now the road is empty and the darkness It’s everywhere.
There is just the stars and the stripes and the distance that I can stare.
Well now this deer it also stands and stares at me.
We’d hit it faster than my eyes could really see.

But I am on my way to you, I am on my way.
And I won,t let you wait, honey I am on my way.
I am on my way to you, I am on my way.
And I won,t let you wait, honey I am on my way.

Now the car is all fixed and we really wanna drive back home.
But you could wait now for that hunger to come strong.
So we had to stop just a little while to eat.
Thats why we could not keep up our normal speed.

But I am on my way to you, I am on my way.
And I won,t let you wait, honey I am on my way.
I am on my way to you, I am on my way.
And I won,t let you wait, honey I am on my way.

Well now the last thing that could stop us you would think.
Just around the corner, there was this this open bridge.
So we had to drive through the centre back again.
And baby you cannot imagine, who I met there.

But I am on my way to you, I am on my way.
And I won,t let you wait, honey I am on my way.
I am on my way to you, I am on my way.
I am on my way to you, I am on my way.
I am on my way to you, I am on my way.
I am on my way to you, I am on my way.

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
