Moon Over Nowhere
Moon Over Nowhere (demo) - MP3
Lyrics
Every Friday I stare down the clock And I _ _ _ _ _ so I can get paid Top my tank off and touch up my lipstick Then I'm tearing like heck up the Lewiston grade There's no town in the place where I stop There's no out of the way little honkytonk bar There's no stop light or sign post or turn-off There's no sleazy motel you can rent by the hour There's a moon over nowhere tonight On a highway that nobody sees There's a moon over nowhere tonight Shine down on my baby and me My man's paycheck moved north in November And we said I'd be there by the middle of May But the job that I've got is in Pullman 'Til we're both in the black that's where I've gotta stay But I bring every blanket I own And he comes in his truck with some cold Oly beer We imagine our future together And we count all the shooters and we dream of next year

Gabe, this song needs your help. I was trying to write that "meeting you halfway" song but I just can't seem to write the verses and I don't like the 2nd and 4th lines of the chorus too much either. The general idea of the song should be that there is this couple who are separated geographically, meet for dates in the middle between their respective locations, which happens to be nowhere. It thought there could be a verse describing why they are separated (work, etc.), one describing what the girl does every Friday (watch the clock, put on some lipstick while pumping gas, "hightailing it north up the Lewiston grade"), and one conveying the sentiment that, although one day the couple hopes to be together all the time, for now meeting halfway seems to do the trick. Want to take a crack?
