Ever wonder what people like Elon Musk or Richard Branson feel like when they create new ways for humans to move about and travel to new adventures. This song is dedicated to that type of person who longs for exploration of new frontiers and figures out ways to get there. I salute those forward thinking individuals. Here's to the Future of Men on the Move.
Keith Forrest on Saxophone.
A Hold On Me
No shoulder to cry on as I open my heart to the wild
I won't take in any more bad water,
gonna leave all my troubles way behind
I knew from the moment I felt it,
I knew it would take me away
Now even tho' I have roots in the ground,
it's my heart I must never betray
Drivin' down a distant highway
Sailin' on the open sea
Flyin' thru the blue horizon
This passion's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me
Won't let me go
It's got a hold on me
Time don't mean that much to me now
'Cause where should I go? Where should I be?
The closer I get to the future of my life,
the farther I get from reality
I knew from the moment I dreamt it,
I knew it just wasn't a lie
I dreamt it, I felt it, I knew that I had it
I'll keep it in my pocket till the day that I die
Drivin' down a distant highway
Sailin' on the open sea
Flyin' thru the blue horizon
This passion's got a hold on me.........won't let me go.....
For tomorrow I'm heading,
tho' life is filled with goodbyes
I won't let it get to me,
if you want come with me, you can be by my side
See, I'm chasing the Owners of Rythym,
I'll follow their lead in the sky
So here's to the future of men on the move,
I'll keep this emotion alive
Yes I'll keep this emotion alive
Drivin' down a distant highway
Sailin' on the open sea
Flyin' thru the blue horizon
This passion's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me
Won't let me go
It's got a hold on me
