Louise Mosrie: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

I pull the brim of my hat down
And wipe the sunshine from my eyes
I hear the roar of the black calling freedom
On my wheel’s underside.

I’m chasing my past all the way
To the Carolina coast.
I’m gonna wash my fears in that green salt water,
And dry my eyes in warm sea oats.

And I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m tired of where I’ve been
I’m gonna leave this Tennessee mountain home
And learn to start again
I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m looking out for hope.
I left my life in a Tennessee mountain home
I put my soul on the road.

Please don’t try to find me
Cause I buried you in the sand.
When I see the storm clouds gather in your eyes
And I hear the thunder roll
Off the back of your hand.

I know there’ll be hell to pay
By the time you get my note.
But I’ve got to see another day
That’s why it’s me and this road, this road.

chorus

I’m on the road
Cause fear isn’t living
and love’s not worth living for
no more, no more, please no more.

(Repeat first verse) I hear it calling. It’s calling freedom.
