Dylan Made Me Do It
I purchased LIFE's Bob Dylan special/book/mag yesterday. Flipped through it last night and this afternoon. I've been a Dylan fan since I picked up the guitar. Just seeing some of the pictures in this book & reading about what inspired some of his songs made me want to write. So, I wrote a few verses and a chorus. I'll probably add another verse or two and/or a bridge, but I'm satisfied with it thus far.
"The Road is Gonna Be A War"
If something is inside you let it out
If cannon balls explode inside your chest, you shouldn’t doubt
That the road is gonna be
The road is gonna be a war
If everything you have is robbed from you
And you are left with nothing but this moment, you know that
The road is gonna be
The road is gonna be a war
Say what they will
Say the wrong things, you know I will
What if there’s no savior in the end?
What if everything you played your cards on is a myth?
Say, the road is gonna be
The road is gonna be a war
The constant current might drag you beneath
Turn you, shake you, spit you out, and tangle you with grief
Yeah, the road is gonna be
The road is gonna be a war
Say what they will
Say the wrong things, you know I will
