lyrics

Things look the same everywhere I go. The world get's smaller as my heart grows. Another state, another mile. That detour taken was worth while. Sun beating on my face and chest. I close my eyes I enjoy the rest of this 14 drive. Hope we make it out alive. If there's one thing I've come to learn. You get what you deserve, but only if it's earned. I don't wanna go home yet. Can I stay here for a while? One more city and one more mile. I don't wanna go home yet, can I stay here for a while?
The time has come for fun to end. I'm leaving all my distant friends. I'm coming back to you. Hope I see you in a week or two. Wish I didn't have to leave, in my soul I still believe. I'll be back another day. We can sing our hearts and lungs away. If there's one thing I've come to learn. You get what you deserve, but only if it's earned. I don't wanna go home yet. Can I stay here for a while? One more city and one more mile. I don't wanna go home yet, can I stay here for a while? I wish I didn't have to leave. In my soul I still believe I'll be back another day. We can sing our hearts and lungs away

about

Matt Salkeld Bakersfield, California

I started writing solo stuff because I wanted another creative outlet that would challenge me. I played my first solo show in 2010 and I decided to keep it going. I write honest songs. Hope to see you at a show ✌️❤️
