about

An Auto-Biographical (no pun intended) song about my cars, my life on the road so to speak and finally growing up to accept the responsibility of a family and being a good Dad. The pictures on the front/back of the CD Jewel case are of my old cars. I sold both of them on ebay in the summer of 2002. It was time to let go of a lot of outdated things and ideas.

lyrics

I was born in 1968
Little town just off the interstate
Guess we couldn’t stay too long
The Highway sings a tempting song

Look Out world Here I come
Movin quick(fast) I can’t stay long
Every town goes by so fast
When all you need is a fresh tank of gas

Gypsy Blood and a couple bucks
Fast car and a little luck
I never worry when things got tough
Sing my songs or pack my stuff


I thought that’s how it was gonna be
I’d just ride this road for eternity
Never let my feet touch the ground
Never think about slowing down

The Scenery changes slowly
Sometimes you don’t realize
The speed and the distance
The Lula-bye in the lines
The drone of the engines and the
Feel of the road
I never thought I could get so lost
When I had nowhere to go…

Took awhile to slow things down
I drifted into this little town
Not too far from where I began
Kinda like startin over again

Little place to call my own
Little love that keeps me goin
Two little boys I cant hold enough
Look how fast they’ve been growing up

There’s and old car out in my garage
And I ain’t even turned the engine on
Don’t wanna wake that cat asleep on my hood
I’m gonna stay right where I should
(we both know we got it good)

My two feet will walk this ground
Right here in my boys home town
Gypsy Blood and the road be damned
I found a place to make my stand

The scenery changes slowly
Sometimes you don’t recognize
Everything you been looking for has been
Right in front of your eyes
The speed and the distance
And the Lula-bye of the road
Keeps you running faster and faster
It’ll never bring you home
Keeps you running on ever faster
It’ll never be your home

from Wyoming (​+​xtras) - 2004, released October 1, 2004
All songs were recorded with an AKG C-414B-ULS set to omni into a Fostex VF160 digital recorder. The raw tracks were imported digitally to my computer and processed with N-Tracks software. My main guitar was a Breedlove C25R except for Round Here on which I played a Takamine CD132SC.

about

Brett Allen Gregory Livermore, California

I've always been compelled to write.

Early on it was journaling and poetry, but then that merged with my guitar addiction to become songwriting.

The process was always a bit manic, pressured, as if a large gorilla had stepped into my room, grabbed me by the lapels and said, "I will not let you sleep until you write this idea down." And so for years the gorilla and I danced madly thru the night.
