    The Classic Rock Road Trip That Sparked My Creative Fire

    Being the product of wannabe hippies I got to listen to a lot of old school classic rock from an era long before me. One of the tunes I can remember my dad blasting in the van while driving me around was “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac. So listening to the song right now as I’m typing this I can envision driving around some city (I don’t remember where it was) but he was looking for a skatepark to take me too so we could skateboard. See, that’s how cool my father was – he took me skateboarding and he skateboarded himself. Pretty wild. Maybe the vibe of the lyrics really rubbed off on me because I do tend to go my own way. Don’t you?

    Go Your Own Way

    Loving you
    Is it the right thing to do?
    How can I ever change things
    That I feel?

    If I could
    Maybe I’d give you my world
    How can I
    When you won’t take it from me

    You can go your own way
    Go your own way
    You can call it
    Another lonely day
    You can go your own way
    Go your own way

    Tell me why
    Everything turned around
    Packing up
    Shacking up’s all you wanna do

    If I could
    Baby I’d give you my world
    Open up
    Everything’s waiting for you

    You can go your own way
    Go your own way
    You can call it
    Another lonely day
    You can go your own way
    go your own way

    (Chorus)

    You can go your own way…
    Call it another lonely day…
    you can go your own way…

    Enjoy!
