On The Roadside

My mama left me stranded far away on the roadside
told me to use this money spend it well and spend it right
don't do like your papa baby don't do just like he done me

I met my papa once he was never close to home
he was traveling on the roadside
heard him slur and then he spoke
"when there ain't no place to hide, son, that's when
you know you're not alone"

Well that was many years ago I traveled hard wore down my shoes
I was crying on the roadside ran out of money couldn't pay my dues
My mama's words have haunted me
"don't you get mixed up in the booze"
my mama's words have haunted me
"drink like him you gonna lose"

about

Dan Frechette California

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
