Hey guys,

Sorry this post is late. I got caught up in Thanksgiving and the immense food coma that overcame me. But hey…it feels good to be home.  I hope everyone had a good holiday, and with that said, here is today’s lyric.

“I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face
There isn’t one of these lines that I would erase
I lived a million miles of memories on that road
With every step I take I know that I’m not alone
You can take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home”

hint: you should probably know this without a hint: but the first half of the artist’s name means “good”

“What a field day for the heat/ A thousand people in the street/ Singin’ songs and they’re carrying signs/ mostly saying, “hooray for our side””
