A slice of southern rock....this one turned out extra special, many thanks for Frank (wonderful guitars and mx), Mike (vocals), Erik (Drums) and a wonderful storyline from Paul.
Southern Rolling (Andy Gupta/Paul Dempsey/Mike Basil/Frank Zax)
00:27 (v1)
I was heading in to Macon, Georgia
Needing a place to stay
Stopping by in sun-kissed Florida
I need be getting on my way
00:40 (v2)
My feet had gotten real itching
The old pickup full of gas
It was time for me to be moving on
And there was no other I needed to ask
00:52 (prechorus)
I had my fill of sunshine
I had enough of the beaches
And if they don't get too precious
I’m gonna pick myself Georgia peaches
1:04 (Chorus)
Southern Rolling I can hear it calling
Yeah I’m heading up the road
Southern Rolling just taking my time
I ain’t fixin to cross
The Mason Dixon line
Southern Rolling I can hear it calling
I’ll be on my way
Southern Rolling just taking my time
I ain't straying
Beyond That Dixie line
1:41 (v3)
I checked into an Inn in Alabama
Went and had a drink at the bar
Pretty girl said - where you’re headed
I said up north but not too far
1:54 (v4)
She asked how long you’d be staying
I said that depends on my feet
She looked at me & started to laugh
And it sounded oh so sweet
2:09 (Prec-ch)
We spent some time together
Made some sweet memories
But the Carolinas calling
Now it's time for me to roll
2:21 (Chorus)
Southern Rolling I can hear it calling
Where I lay my hat is home
Southern Rolling just taking my time
I ain’t fixin To cross
That Mason Dixie line
Southern Rolling I can hear it calling
Open road is in my blood
Southern Rolling just taking my time
I’ll be staying
Within that Mason Dixon line

Hey Frank,
Agreed, this has to be right up there with the best ones. We do have a few songs tucked away now don't we :).
Your work - guitars, mix, arrangement is top drawer. It would have been possible without you.
Thanks once again,
ANdy
