Story Behind The Song
I wrote 'Rainy Night Road' on acoustic guitar and luckily for me the lyrics came quickly, which doesn't always happen! I realised that the song needed the magic of Corin Anderson's (CoriAnder) production skills and a vocal from Gus Harrower.

Lyrics
Hands locked on the steering wheel
Will I ever make it home?
I'm battered by the wind and rain
Emergency control.
Cause I'm sitting in my box of tricks
With a five year guarantee
It's ageing like a vintage wine
As nobody can see.
Here in my mind
Your face in the summer sun
Time rewinds
Erased, undone
Blue light sirens on my tail
I'm a genuine buccaneer
Radio, not quite company
There's a static atmosphere
Scenes, hard to find
A trace of a race that's won
Dreams unwind
Erased, like a web unspun
Shaken by rain again
Filled to the top
Waiting for something
Here in my mind
Your face in the summer sun
Time rewinds
Erased, undone
Waiting for something
Waiting for you
