Greetings from California! I managed to write this one with a borrowed ukelele (thanks to Erika) on the couch I’m staying on. It was 17 degrees when I left Atlanta yesterday and 70 when I landed here, so there’s a bit of longing for leaving in this song.
The sound quality is not quite as polished as the others – it’s all done on my phone, and I’m learning my way around how best to do that. There’s a little sound glitch early on, but the song comes through fine.

Oh can you see my way
Out here across the bay?
Everyone comes out here to live
I used to comeeach year
Across the waters dear
Now it seems I have less left to giveI stay holed up in my shed
Like I left myself for deadCan you get me out of there?
Where to?
I don’t care.I cam from way up north
Packed my bags, I set forth
Headed down the Appalachian Trail
But still the winter’s cold
Or maybe I’m just old
I need a card to get me out of jailI thought I had one somewhere
Maybe here or over thereCan you get me out of there?
Where to?
I don’t care.I’m running out of space
I’m trying to save face
I’m looking for a way to get out of this placeI got my bags all packed for the trip
This is is a factCan you get me out of there?
Where to?
I don’t care.
