I wrote the lyrics and melody for Back On The Highway Again, but did not record my own version of the song.
Instead I paid
Chris Davidson to record it for me.

Back On The Highway Again
Verse 1:
The smell of pancakes
wafting through a diner
sunrise walks up
on a mountain high
Hotel bars and
battle scar reminders
to soar we all
must slowly learn to fly
Chorus:
Back on the highway again
city lights and stars ignite
in a show that never ends
That's where I'm free
that's where I'm me
Back on the highway again
Verse 2:
The cattle stare out
over their fences
there's a will to roam
that can not be denied
A wise man says it's
all about the journey
buckle up my friend
and please enjoy the ride
Chorus:
Back on the highway again
city lights and stars ignite
in a show that never ends
That's where I'm free
that's where I'm me
Back on the highway again
Bridge:
Not all who wander are lost
some walk up to a line
and know it must be crossed
A world of adventure
new seeds left to be sowed
on the open road
Chorus:
Back on the highway again
city lights and stars ignite
in a show that never ends
That's where I'm free
that's where I'm me
Back on the highway again

- Great country vocals. Good folk vibe. Song is well produced and has pretty good song structure. Song is well thought out and nicely written. Decent Pop Country Indie Folk song.
- He has a really clean, classic sound to his voice. It really reminds me of some of the music from the 60's. The lyrics are well written and do a decent job of evoking emotion. Makes me feel nostalgic for music I grew up listening to!
- Great sound nice beat to the music the vocals are really good the lyrics are great I like the way the band plays in this and how it stands out.
- I love the soft instrumentals in this song and the vocalist sounds very genuine, sweet even. The lyrics are creative and I can tell there's no other song like it out there right now.
- Five out of ten stars overall on the rating scale for an average score. I mostly enjoyed the lead singer in this particular song.
- I really like the melody and sound to this song. It's really up beat and has a great vocals performance to it. Very nice happy type song!
- I think that this song would benefit from either increasing or decreasing the speed of the song. For some reason the pace feels awkward to me. The instrumental is a little boring. The vocals are pretty good though.
- I think this is a good song overall. The flow of the music is positive; nice beat for the track. The elements here are successful. I think it will be a good song for many playlists.
- I would have liked some sort of intro. The structure, music, and lyrics are pretty generic. There's not much harmonic or melodic variety, so the song gets boring quickly. The drums and vocals are especially monotonous. There isn't much development.
- It is definitely a different style when the song begins. I do like the pace as well as its somewhere in the middle, but it does work for me.
- One thing that I liked about this song was the instrumentation. In particular, I liked how the beat sounded as it was very happy and upbeat. The vocalist was okay, but could have been more polished.
- The beat was good the tempo was good I loved the way the song was and the pop it used the vocals were awesome I loved the vocals it what sold me well done.
- The Dance beat to this song is excellent. The singer does a good job of singing with passion and feeling. This song makes me feel great and calm.
- The drums gives the song a grooving tempo and drive. The artist vocals has a smooth harmonic presence to it. The lyrics in the song are pretty hopeful.
- The laid back vibes remind me of Jimmy Buffett, but with a country edge. This is great music for going on vacation and blasting it as I drive down the road. The vocals have a harder feeling which adds to the music.
- The music was kind of whimsical and upbeat. I didn't like the vocalist,thoug--he seemed to have a flat and monotone kind of voice that wasn't pleasant to listen to.
- The vocals are done really well done and I love the way they sound. I do feel that the volumes are spot on and I appreciate the simple use of the different elements.
- The vocals ares stupid. The instrumentals are ok. The production is good. The lyrics are also fine. This song may have the chance of being a hit.
- The vocals were too country-esque for me at the beginning of the song, so I was not into the song as much as I would've liked to be. The lyrics were good.
- There is nothing that I dislike about the song. The instrumentation is great and the artist has a great tone. The lyrics are good also. The overall production is great as well.
