It's that time of the week again when I need to go to the bathroom!
So, I wrote this song in 2011 after my first experience hitch-hiking and busking around Southern England, I got home and I realised that the world is an open road and I don't have to stay in my sad little Northern town. I felt free, I felt like I'd found the key, and I was one of the few people brave enough to hold it!
A few months later I set off into mainland Europe with no more than £100 in my pocket, no bank cards, no rich daddy to bail me out - just a guitar, a set of harmonicas and a rucksack, and I spent nine months exploring France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, then I lived the Winter out in the Arctic North of Sweden, moving on through Finland and Norway and eventually back home. All by hitch-hiking, busking and couch surfing!
It was the most amazing thing I've ever done, and to be quite honest I'm ready to do it again, I've been stuck here ever since I got back in 2012...
So, Southbound Boots is like an anthem for people everywhere wanting to escape.

Thanks for listening!
Nice!!! First song written?!...Damn!!!! It sounds like you been writing for lifetimes.
Thanks Gabriel, I was very much into Bob Dylan at the time, it possibly shows! Are you singing another one for us this week?
I intend to. It will have to wait a few days.. .busy with work.. up at 5:00 am this morning, getting ready to roof an apartment in my home town.
Sounds tough, well I really look forward to your next appearance!
Hard work has been my salvation. It has brought me back from the clutches of death itself. I am grateful for the opportunity and happy2b.
That's probably where I'm going wrong! I'm the laziest busker in the world...
I got away with that as long as I possibly could.
Wow amazing. Keep it up bro...steemit first supercars blogger said hello if you like super heavy cars checkout our blog
First try at songwriting? Well more like that please.
Strong song lyrically and vocally.
Thanks man, I see you've got some new songs up too, I'll be having a listen soon!
Another good number. TBH, I felt a definite urge to play along with a dobro. Keep up the original material... loving it.
Thanks Geoff, you can play along with whatever you want! What is a dobro though? Haha
Awesome, makes me want to rock out in my bathroom (that's not a euphemism)! Upped.
Do it! #bathroomsessions

Thank you, glad you liked it! You came along at the right time because my songs posted previous to this one are, let's say, less positive. Haha. Oh but I meant to mention to you earlier, you should listen to Born to Forget, I saw one of your posts where you were literally talking about the theme of that song, about remembering who we really are?... I think you will like it.

loved it. It sounds amazing!!! I also do covers, play violin and do videos on youtube as well. We have to support the music industry on steemit, that's why I upvoted you :D
Take your spam elsewhere, it'll only get flagged here.
Tried to be nice.... FUCK YOU THEN!
You didn't try to be nice you moron, you just copied and pasted the same idiotic message onto every music video you could find, without even listening no doubt. Go back to Facebook and Twitter with that crap, it doesn't work here.
You are right... I did COPY AND PASTE. Just to the ones I liked, but it's fine though...... Keep acting like an AH
😴 You won't last very long here...
