| Lyrics: | I’ve been running down this road The only road I've ever known Just looking for freedom Hey just looking for freedom Yeah just looking for freedom I've been trying to get back home But almost been gone too long I’m trying to wake up still It's all too real I don’t know how I could ever deal All this world has is just a dream a dream, a dream I've been trying to make this right Sketch out my plans every day and night I'm trying to ride this ship We've all been hit I've sent this S.O.S. But the bow is dipped We’re about to drown Water’s on our lips But we drift, we drift I've been running down this way The only path I've ever strayed Just looking for freedom Hey just looking for freedom Oh just looking for freedom I've been doing this so long I'm ready to die bring this ship on home I feel my soul depart The rapture starts Feel the fire rise from within my heart Let the devil appear Let's make a deal, a deal, a deal I've been running down this road The only road I've ever known Just looking for freedom Hey just looking for freedom Yeah just looking for freedom |

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."
