Hope everyone is keeping safe.
Today I thought i'd return to a song from 2013, and one that's quite special to me. I was completely amazed that so many people asked if they could cover this one over the years, and felt very honoured, as it was one of the first originals I wrote.I think its appeal was that many could identify with the lyrics, as sometimes we just feel the need to find ourselves, and be free from the restrictions of life, and probably never more so than now what we are living through !. Sadly many who recorded this are no longer here, or have simply lost touch, but the links below are to those who still have it uploaded and did wonderful covers.
Thank you to Michael Hermiston, John Leon, Michele Barton Thomas, and Rich, to name but a few.

LYRICS
Gonna hitch a ride, to a place where I belong
And if I ride beside you, will you let me sing my song
Temptation, frustration, all I've ever known
rejection, correction, etched in to my bones
Will you take me somewhere I can see...
Where I could be me.
Gonna hitch a ride, to a place where I belong
And if I travel with you, will you help me sing my song
Salvation, dictation, the books they threw at me
I tried to see the light, but it just blinded me
Will you take me somewhere I can see...Where I could be me
Gonna hitch a ride, to a place where I belong
And if i ride beside you, will you finish my song
Contentment, fulfilment, are what I need to find
These yearnings, weigh heavy on my mind
Can you take me somewhere I can see...where I can be me
