Back Where I Started

V6

[Intro: Fast syncopated banjo picking, dark sub-bass pulsing] [Verse 1: Gravelly male vocals, steady techno kick] Packed the ute at midnight, left the ghost of what was home Rusted sign in the rear-view mirror, driving south alone Back under the roof that raised me, back to square number one Empty halls and quiet rooms where the laughter used to run [Pre-Chorus: Weeping fiddle layer enters, rising bass swell] I miss the morning footsteps, I miss the everyday Count the miles between my chest and where my kids still play Keep moving... keep moving... [Build-Up: Snare roll, accelerating banjo rolls] [Drop: Heavy four-on-the-floor kick, aggressive sub-bass, shredding banjo lead] [Verse 2: Dark outlaw vocals, heavy rolling bassline] Red dust on my work boots, heavy weight inside my chest Starting over from the scrap heap, no time for taking rest The road is long and winding, but I’m still standing tall Knocked right down into the dirt, but I ain't gonna fall [Pre-Chorus: Fiddle layer enters, rising bass swell] I miss the morning footsteps, I miss the everyday Count the miles between my chest and where my kids still play Keep moving... keep moving... [Bridge: Dark atmospheric synth pad, weeping banjo solo] One step back to take two forward Building up from scratch again Let the bass roll through the shadow Let the banjo break the wind [Build-Up: Pounding snare roll, rising synth pitch] [Drop: Maximum energy, heavy bass kick, fast banjo rolls and fiddle shred] [Outro: Fading kick drum, solo banjo picking, sub-bass decay] Back where I started... but I'm winnin' again. [End]
