I'm headed Southwest to 'scape from Boston snow
Goin' to Virginia to see the Shenendoah
Through Pennsylvania
The fields of Gettysburg
Paused for a moment
The wind was all I heard

I'm learning to love my life again
Yeah, I like it
I'm glad to see you here my friend
Do you like it?

I felt the music in Nashville, Tennessee
Two nights in Memphis beneath an old elm tree
I've been to Graceland
The King's still in his prime
A little faded
But otherwise he's fine

I'm learning to love my life again
Yeah, I like it
I'm glad to see you here my friend
Do you like it?

Warmed by the campfire
I've laid 'neath the stars
Under the heavens
I've played my guitar
It is a feeling
I cannot describe
It makes me certain
That I am alive

Cold nights in Texas brought snow to Santa Fe
Each night above us a comet made its way
Toward Colorado
The mesas start to rise
In perfect silence
Against the Western skies

I'm learning to love my life again
Yeah, I like it
I'm glad to see you here my friend
Do you like it?

Roadside is the condensed story of the trip my wife and I made from Boston to California. I intended the song to be a travelogue that would remind us of that wonderful time when we grow old. We left behind everything and everyone I knew good and bad and I felt a world of possibilities open before us. It felt like a rebirth.

The United States is an amazingly beautiful and diverse piece of land which I think everyone should be given the time to explore it at least once in their life.
