Backstory:

I initially wrote the lyrics to this for a Tanya Tucker pitch. Brought them to Dan Harrison & Hayley Giovinazzo and they offered some great input and we tweaked accordingly. Dan & Hayley solidified the melody and then they recorded the demo. Dan produced it. Hayley on vocals.

Livin’ Gone Astray

V1
The gates are finally open
The road is turning right
Been praying to the stars above
To point me towards the light

The climb’s been unforgiving 
Crawled up and tumbled down
Busted knees and dusty dreams
And cracks left in my crown

PRE (4 5)
In all that getting lost I’ve found

CHORUS
There are so many shes
That have been me along the way
I’m making’ peace with each 
Kissing their cheeks, offering grace
Wrapping them in kindness
And removing all their shame
Dreamers don’t reach dreams without some livin’ gone astray 

I wasn’t made for mainstream
It wasn’t made for me
Some are fine to stay fenced in
And some are born to run free 

Been singing like I’ve lived a life
Since I was just thirteen (open to an alternate line here - was written with a specific artist in mind)
Now turning round it all turned out
Just how it’s supposed to be



REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE 
I’ve loved and I have lost
Sunk my sorrows, paid the cost
I’m only human after all
And I’m still here, after all

CHORUS
Of those wandering she’s
That have been me along the way 
I’m makin’ peace with each 
Kissin their cheeks, offering grace
Wrapping them in kindness
And removing all their shame 
Dreamers don’t reach dreams 
Without some livin’ gone astray
Dreamers don’t reach dreams 
Without some livin’ gone astray
