Here’s another song I wrote—the story just impressed itself strongly on my mind. A guy is somewhere in Nevada at night, drifting, leaving some things and someone behind, not sure where the road will take him next. He just knows he needs to keep moving, and he’s waiting for a ride. There are three verses, three choruses and a bridge. Enjoy.

 Waiting For A Ride

Got some trouble, it gave my pen an itch

Sewed my wounds but off by a stitch

Highway night crowds my eyes with stars

And the mocking light of the passing cars

Just a dream away

Our warm bed

Just a dream away

Things I should've said

Just a dream away

Touching you just so

Just a dream away

Everywhere I want to go

Is just a dream away

Out here the moon seems alone like me

In this darkness I can better see

That the past is rarely ever clear

And I don't know where I'll go from here

Just a dream away

A second chance

Just a dream away

The way we dance

Just a dream away

Nothing is lost

Just a dream away

Hurt has no cost

Just a dream away

[bridge]

But now I know

I'm not afraid anymore

To feel what I feel

To open any door

When I'm empty inside

I've got nothing to hide

Even I was with you

I was just waiting for a ride

So, it's for the best that I'm out here

Where broken hearts have nothing to fear

Sitting on the road, stood up by my pride

With everywhere to go and waiting for a ride

Just a dream away

You holding my hand

Just a dream away

A safe place to land

Just a dream away

Love is a distant tide

Just a dream away

When your waiting for a ride

That's just a dream away
