I kill the engine of the jeep just as the song completes the chorus before it turns into the bridge.
This is one of the songs that I murder on the ukulele and the bridge is the hardest part. The chorus isn’t bad. The verses can be played the same as the chorus. Yet the bridge, I can never quite put together.
For those that don’t know, the bridge goes like this:
“I hear her voice in the mornin’ hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin’ down the road, I get a feelin’
That I should’ve been home yesterday, yesterday.”
I suck at it. I can’t deny it.
It’s what greets me when I go to leave, my work week done. It’s sunny and comfortable out. The bridge passes, and the chorus hits. That’s the part we all know, the part that’s easy to sing along with whether your alone or among friends at the local pub.
It’s a good one to hit the weekend with, and I take my country roads home.
