Back On The Road

"A live concert by country rock band This Side Of Life has created quite a stir. The event wasn't publicly advertised and was staged for an invited audience of family, friends and well-wishers, but there were a significant number of protesters and gatecrashers intent on spoiling the proceedings. There was already high security for the show, but the local police had to be called to control and disperse an angry mob. 


"Still the show went ahead as scheduled. All proceeds from the concert are going to a national charity for the rehabilitation of ex-prisoners which is a pointer to the reason for the protests. All members of the band are serving life sentences in a maximum security prison and are more accustomed to solitary confinement than appearing in front of a large audience. Organising such an event was a very controversial decision by the prison authorities and raised questions from many campaigners who were against the idea. Yet, despite the protests the band gave a superb performance and hopefully silenced some of their critics. Music is a universal language that we can all relate to and this project is an experiment to use music as part of a program intended to rehabilitate some of the country's worst offenders."

I know you’re busy

Thought I’d drop you a line 

Just had a visit from an old friend of mine 

He called to tell me what I already knew 

We’ve got some old

Unfinished business to do 

Just got time to reload 

And then I’m back on the road 

 

So goodbye, I hope to see you around 

My feet they won’t be

Touching the ground 

Cos once I’m moving

Then I’m not gonna stop 

You won’t believe it

And your jaw’s gonna drop 

When you see me explode 

I’m going back on the road 

 

So long and take good care of yourself 

You know I love you

And there’s nobody else 

But if you want me

Then I know that you’ll wait 

I’ve got to go now before it’s too late 

To collect what I’m owed 

I’m going back on the road
