Hello fellow Steemers,

Here is my submission for this weeks (69) open mic competition. This is an older song which I wrote while driving across Australia from Sydney to Adelaide a few years back. I used to drive across the vast Hay plains then down along the Murray River through the River Land and Barossa then onto Adelaide. The song uses the experience of these long drives as the basis for the lyrical imagery.

Lyrics 

A shallow distant stream 
running in a deserts dream
For she went rolling down 
Where all the waters bound 

Follow an empty sky 
singing in an endless sigh
clouds just drifting round
thankful for some freedom found 

hey hey now, it's just another one on there way 

So follow the highway signs 
cursing where the big birds drive
planes of water pound
heading straight underground

Rolling up or rolling down 
through distant clouds of mine 
insecticide  
don't let the good bugs die 

hey hey, now its just another one 
hey hey, now its just another one on there way 
Savoring that traveling day 

Many Thanks, Hope you enjoy 

Until next time, Keep on Steeming!

Byron
