Sample excerpt
Two hundred miles of nothing and I like it that way, just the hum and a radio that fades in and out. Left a city that was asking too much of me, and the desert don't ask anything at all.
Keep it straight, keep it steady, keep it going, the road don't need me to explain myself. I'll figure out my life somewhere past Barstow, or I won't, and that's alright too.
Workshop note — First person, present, hypnotic. Desert highway rock rides a steady groove: repeat the same phrase shape across the chorus. At 100 BPM leave space between lines for the guitar to shimmer.
