My debut solo album, released in 2003. It was co-produced, engineered and mixed by Danny Cinelli at Planet Studios in Montreal and featured some great Montreal players: Tony Albino (drums) and Alan Baculis (bass).
Elevator goes up,
And I go with it one more time and forget,
Elevator goes down,
And throws me out on this new town and says not yet,
Years ago, we bought a van and drove long miles in it,
You should know, I still carry around that van in my pocket,
Blue as the ocean,
It shined like gold
Chorus
When it runs you down, shakes you down,
Like it can,
There will come a day, getaway in a van,
I’ve been doing time thinking I’m,
Not the man,
There will come a day, getaway in a van
And the dashboard sang,
About highways, love and life without regret,
But it didn’t mean much,
We were still too young to know what it meant to lose yet,
And I know my name,
Is the same it was when we had time to spare,
It’s a fool who thinks,
That the land of milk and honey is, a place out there,
What’s in the rearview,
We left behind,
Chorus
Bridge
Burn up the atmosphere, you carburator heart,
Don’t have to know to steer, just know a rolling start
