Simcoe Honky Tonk Boogie
Single · A song for friends
Demo recording
Produced with AI music tools, not performed by me or a band. The lyrics are mine, and a live version with real musicians is the next step.
Driving south on Highway 48 in sideways snow, his memory runs the other way, north to Jackson's Point on Lake Simcoe. Back then, they lasted till sunrise every night. Later in life they scattered, and some found their way back home. A bar-band roll call of every name worth shouting.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Heading south on 48
And the snow was falling sideways
Then I butted out and I was back at Jackson Point
Verse 2
They were so new by the firelight
Had no sense how their lives would fly by
We all got good and scattered about
Nice to see some find their way back home
Chorus 1
Ben N Robin, John N Lexy,
Wheels N Skeebo, the Roth’s N Currie,
Trev N Miller, Jen N Averie,
Lorie, Luke N Woody,
And Jesus — Boell on the guitar
Verse 3
We'd last till sunrise, each and every night
We had a place to go, and we knew how lucky we were
Chorus 2
Skip N Graham, Doug N Borkzon,
Geoff N Rachael, N Bergerman,
Jay N Jake N Lisa,
And good ol Shelly
Verse 4
Ol mix tape playing the Dead,
Heading home, time to pick up the phone
Instrumental
Outro
