from Song A Week, Volume 6 by James Tristan Redding

about

Written for Marty Dodson.

lyrics

Marty, you know I'm a fan because I told you that I am
You also know that I'm a writer
Crazy seeing Clubhouse change the Athens of the new south
To a network with connections even tighter

And I wonder if I ever would have got to know you better
If we'd never joined the Thursday evening round
What a gift that Steven's giving to the writers who are driven
By allowing us to hear each other's sound

What's my next destination?
The best place in the nation
Yeah I'm lookin' for an all expenses paid
364 nights 365 days vacation
Wanna' get away so take me to SongTown USA

Now I still got a day job but I also know it's no prob
To take some PTO for writing sessions
Whether meeting at your office or my apartment if you wanted
Let's sit down and write something really special

What's my next destination?
The best place in the nation
Yeah I'm lookin' for an all expenses paid
364 nights 365 days vacation
Wanna' get away so take me to SongTown USA

How many lines should there be in our bridges
Depends if we're in SongTown city limits
Or sittin' here in this little Five Points kitchen
Not to mention if we're tryin' to pitch it
