When In Rome

(V-1)  Sittin here in Rome 
Missed my scheduled train
Feelin' all abandoned
Longing for home
 
There's not another
'til four more hours
So here I sit
On my suitcase tower

(Chr) So I.... Guess if I wasn't here
I'd be somewhere
But that's..... Neither here nor there
'Cause I'm going no where

So I'm...Waitin' on the next train
To take me down the tracks
To pull.....Me away from the pain
That's turnin' my heart..... black...........

(Inst. solo)

(V-2)  People in a hurry
Almost got robbed
But for a watchfull eye
I thanked him kindly

A friendly pigeon
Lookin' to share my bread
As the other lost souls
Check their schedules

(Chr) So I.... Guess if I wasn't here
I'd be somewhere
But that's..... Neither here nor there
'Cause I'm going no where

So I'm...Waitin' on the next train
To take me down the tracks
To pull.....Me away from the pain
That's turnin' my heart black...........
 
( Inst. solo)

(brdg/coda) I don't know if this trip (F#m, B7, D, A)
Will turn out good or bad
It's the steps I to take
To erase the memory of her

Farrell Jackson 01-18-16

My first solo song of 2016! A Southern Rocker with some slight turns after the first chorus and at the outro.

Farrell Jackson - songwriter, all vocals and instruments. I'm debuting my 2007 G&L Stratocaster, on the guitar solos.

DrC - drums programming.

The lyric is based on a semi truth. I was in Rome and missed the train and almost got pick pocketed but I was with my wife. I just drew upon the feelings of that moment for these lyric....that's what we do as songwriters, right? Lol.
