	Guitar oriented rock tune. Droning slide riffs combined with layerd chords. The bridge contains a mild rock/rap feel and the ending goes for the climactic finish.

	Story Behind the Song This tune came from a summer of touring the country with Michelle Malone and the Indigo Girls. Basically we traveled around the country twice between April and August of 2001. The sights and experience will always be with me and my song writing from here on. Recording of this tune was done at my brother Jeff's home during a visit in August of 2001. The chords for the verse/chorus parts were something that I had been playing around with while on the road. The bridge was somewhat improvised during the recording session. The lyrics were all made up at the session. Recording and mixdown were done in one day. CL Lyrics Offer up the notion That we are here to please Along the path of the natural extreme Start the car up And listen to the breeze Come on and walk with me Though the age of luxury And Oh! The light will surley shine So go! Keep the party on your mind Reach through the dark And feel the angelic sea Flip over your head And sink down on your knee Storms will come And the course will surley change Lock down the hatch I'm sure it's gonna rain And Oh! Look up at the sky And Oh! Come on and tell me why -bridge- The summer has grown so hot The feeling of peace is not Something that we can feel In the daily turn of the wheel Mash the petal and feel the speed Of the highway that's calling me On down the road of desire Will it really end in fire Light the smoke, inhale the fumes Praise the lord and then consume All of the things tha ya need In order to spread your seed It's all written in the history of the world Anyone who tried this way didn't grow very old And Oh! Look up at the stars They'll tell you where All the light has gone And the river runs to the righteous And the river runs to the righteous And the river runs to the righteous sea...
