about

This is the first blues song I wrote that is actually a blues song not blues-rock or some other hybrid. It's about thinking you're on your way and then finding out you really haven't gone anywhere.

lyrics

I'm movin' over yonder, headed for the golden hill
I'm movin' out this mornin', headin' for the golden hill,
but when I looked down, I was walkin' on a treadmill!

That sun is so hot, hot enough to cook my brains
That sun is so hot, hot enough to cook my brains
Won't get no relief until lit start to rain

Step by step, just movin' along
Not worried 'bout a think as you're singin' your song
Just when you think the trouble's all in the past,
you find you're goin' nowhere fast!

I was climbin' up a mountain, headin' up the steepest side
I was climbin' up a mountain, headed up the steepest side,
but when I looked up, I was on the downward slide

Step by step, just movin' along
Not worried 'bout a think as you're singin' your song
Just when you think the trouble's all in the past,
you find you're goin' nowhere fast!

Movin' out this mornin', headed for the golden hill
I'm movin' out thisi mornin', headin' for the golden hill,
but when I looked down, I was walkin' on a treadmill!
