about
Unearthed treasure: an unreleased studio version of "Foot on the Floor" featuring accompaniment by cello and fretless bass. This song is one in a collection that I wrote during an epic cross-country road trip in 2005.
lyrics
The storm is miles away, you said
As you stepped into the rain
Looked over your shoulder
And disappeared again
But your ghost rose up at break of day
And tailed me down the interstate
With the radio up loud to drown the din
I don't care where I'm going tomorrow
If I can stop going out of my mind
I got my foot on the floor
But I can't seem to get you behind me
The road rolls out the red, red sun
Coming in at number one
Everything is gonna be alright
I hold the wheel and sing along
Sometimes I can be so strong
But I still can't keep from dreaming every night
I don't care where I'm going tomorrow
If I can stop going out of my mind
Got my foot on the floor
But I can't seem to get you behind me
I wrote your name and I tore it apart
All folded up in a paper heart
In a hotel room in Denver yesterday
But you haven't even thought my name
Since the night I drove myself away
And I wonder why I care, but I can't say
Did you think that I wouldn't remember
Did I think that you wouldn't forget?
Did I think it was going to be easier
Leaving like this?
I don't care where I'm going tomorrow
If I can stop going out of my mind
I got my foot on the floor
But I can't seem to get you behind me
I got my foot on the floor
But I can't seem to get you behind me
I got my foot on the floor
But I can't seem to leave you behind

I could listen to Lauren sing forever. Her writing is vivid and sensitive, sweetly and painfully human--never apologizing for sharp corners and rough edges. The beauty of her spirit shines through. Summer Russell
