    I wrote this song while watching a Jimi Hendrix biography. The lyrics follow his life in a convoluted way.
    CD: Crazy Bitch   Label: Not yet released
    Credits: Music and Lyrics by Ian Ballard

    Story Behind the Song
    I was watching a biography on Jimi Hendrix when I heard an aunt of his quote him when he was a child: "When I get big, I'm going to go far away and I aint never going back". I thought that was the greatest line I ever heard so I wrote the song while watching the rest of the show. It was recorded with Johnny Dennis on drums and Marc Weller on bass who also added steel guitar. Tom Griffin played mandolin and I did the guitars and vocals.

    Lyrics
    Far, Far Away
    Words and Music by Ian Ballard Copyright 2003

    When I get big I'll go far away
    And I aint never going back
    I don't know where and I don't know when
    But I'll get there and that's a fact

    Far, far away
    I'll get there someday
    Looking for a mystical place
    Far, far away

    On a boat on the sea
    Floating to a beautiful new world
    Complete confusion, disillusion
    Feeling like a roadkill squirrel
