Rollin' down the highway
Into the sun
Going the right way
No wrong way sign

the Sun is scorching baby
the pavement is dry
and your still waiting baby
For my car to arrive

I'll meet you
at the station
your coming home
i made a
reservation
For us to be alone

rollin down the highway
ridin like the wind
things are going my way
I get to see you again

feeling the heat now baby
you're on my mind
and when we meet now baby
we'll both be doing fine

been waiting such a long time
for this day to arrive
made a plan for me and you
but for now I drive

I'll meet you
at the station
your coming home
i made a
reservation
For us to be alone

I exit off this highway
the time is drawing near
almost to the driveway
I can hardly steer

I see you there waiting baby
a sight for sore eyes
you're coming with me now baby
and we're gonna drive


I'll meet you
at the station
your coming home
i made a
reservation
For us to be alone

Hey Tricia, a few little tweaks and this could have worked as the duet you were looking to do with Mimmo. :)

I love the sound on this, there's so many different things that all blend nicely, and of course the vocals always make me jealous. lol

Great job all, nice to see you around Vinnie. :)

Thanks John......but I've already recorded vocals for this fifty million times....no thanks!! ;D ;D
I think more of a ballad for Mimmo and me. ;)

Thanks for the positive feedback.

I like the vibe on this...has a 70's feel to it.

The song would be nothing without the vocals though... 8)

My mixers notes:

Mix could be better...Vocals are probably a bit to loud and wet and I dont have the compression setting quiet right...sounds decent enough for now though...didnt have drum stems...only stereo drum Stem.

You did a terrific job on the music, you and Tricia did a terrific job with the lyrics, and Tricia you did a terrific job with the vocals You Rock! Yep I'm going to play this cool song again. You all did a fantastic job! Thank you Vincet your friend Jimmy.

Really nice collab, you two.  :)

I like the different things that are going on - lots of texture.
Definitely a compelling 70s vibe.  ;)

Nice song!!

I really like the descending sequence.

Good vocals Tricia and nice instrumentation.

Tricia, you and VIncent have a lot of good tracks - I was listening to Cats Away and LBE over the weekend. Love that Heart meets Zep feeling you've got.

It was good to listen to Marc's bass playing as well.
