Took a Drive Out West Lyrics

Raised in his house built with his dads own hands

Seven siblings strong playing kick the can

Found a guitar and rock in roll in his teens

Joined a band singing harmony and playing leads

Met a women on the cape with a sparkle in her eye

Soon they got married started living life

Took a drive out west to be a guitar man Took a job playing slide in a country band

Soon the guitar struggles got harder play

So he got a steady job with a kid on the way

He ran a pool cleaning company to pay the bills

Loving his kids and playing guitar still

I remember all the music playing in the house, in the car at the river around the campfire sound

Now when times get rough and hard I turn on some tunes and pick up my guitar

He gave me a gift and I use it

Thank you for the love and music

When he coach a team he championships When the car needed brakes he fuckin hated it

He taught his first born how to play the drums He put bass in the hand of his second son

I learned a couple chords and he put me on stage He said this one goes from E to D to A

Now he had his own group with his brother in law The Gavin Davies band going 30 years strong

I remember all the music playing in the house, in the car at the river around the campfire sound

Now when times get rough and hard I turn on some tunes and pick up my guitar

He gave me a gift and I use it

Thank you for the love and music

He got to help raise a few grandkids Had the same women by his side through the thick and the thin

The music kept playing and it still does No more finish on the neck his G41

Raise a great family and kept great friends

He had to fight a hard fight but he lost in the end

Remembering one of the last gifts he gave A guitar for his daughter and now she's still playin

I remember all the music playing in the house, in the car at the river around the campfire sound

Now when times get rough and hard I turn on some tunes and pick up my guitar

He gave me a gift and I use it

Thank you for the love and music

One lesson I learned from from Dave Gavin

You gotta listen to some music and love with a passion
