| Lyrics: | No time to dream American dreams Gonna ride the wind and spread my wings Can't stand the man Time to run New vocation..vagabond I adore you babe, but I can't tell When to kiss and when to bail I'm so sick and tired of Broken hearts and chasin' love I threw away my telephone Kept my thumb and some rollin' bones I threw away my piece of pie For a piece of mind and a battle cry No time to fear no lookin' back I found myself on the railroad tracks I see my breath in the air Catch a train go anywhere The Gods are blowin' in my hair The world is whirlin' I declare I'm not homeless, I'm home-free Nothin' nobody can take from me Free ride lullabye Free ride |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
