Just the road and its majesty
And I’m lookin’ at you with the world in the rear-view
And I’m lookin’ at you with the world in the rear-view
As the long Fourth of July weekend approaches and many will be traveling on vacation in the days ahead, I suggest some rousing music by Shooter Jennings perfectly designed for the holiday and summertime cross-country driving. I know it is one of my favorites to blare in the car—with the windows open to the warm July air when motoring along highways or county roads—and, as Shooter describes in the song, to just sing along.
Surprisingly, the song even begins with a few somewhat poetic lines: “Alone with the morning burning red / On the canvas in my head / Painting a picture of you and me . . ..” (I usually write about jazz, but I’m fond of all kinds of music, and I confess I often find country lyrics unassumingly poetic or entertaining; therefore, I like the words in the rest of the song as well.) Also, the video appropriately closes with some fireworks. Enjoy the weekend and drive safely!
