VERSE 1
Out on the desert highway
On my way back home to you
I saw a shooting star and made a wish
I prayed would come true
In my mind I saw you sleeping
Back in those California hills
And when I thought about your fiery eyes
They warmed the desert chill
CHORUS
When I think about you
I think of midnight rides
When I think about you
I think of love by fire light
When I think about you
I wanna be by your side
When I think about you
VERSE 2
I dreamed of low fires and snowy nights
Waiting to be share with you
I saw the souls of our children in the fire light
Praying for my wish to come true
In my mind I saw you dreaming
Beneath those California skies
And I was in your lovin? arms
Before the sun could rise

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
And we kept the sun from rising
So, we could stay wrapped in our arms
We kept the love light burning
Till we became those shooting stars

REPEAT CHORUS

END Reprise
When I think about you
I see the sun set and rise
When I think about you
I see a slow midnight ride
When I think about you
I see your fiery eyes
When I think about you
I see shooting stars
When I think about you


I really liked this song! The vocals and music arrangement where very good! This song was easy to listen to and has radio quality.

Memorable hook - Nice groove - Good tempo - Pretty decent Musicianship - Retro Almond Brothers - The Band

Definitely a country song. Gets to the grit of the song quickly, which is great. Some nice chord progressions. Use of the California Hills imagery is great. Love the lead solo bridge.

The song has lots of balls (am I allowed to say that?) with powerful Bob Seeger style vocals and plenty of country rock slide guitar going on. On first hearing, some of the chord progression comes as a surprise, but in a good way which become very natural after a couple of listens.
Has a feel of a live performance about the recording with some rough edges which can be forgiven for the trade off in atmosphere. Some fine guitar playing.
Has great potential.

Epic desert adventure with emphatic vocals and roots Americana feel.

Nice Vocal and good start on the front of the song.

The vocal was excellent. The instruments were really good. The mix was well balanced. I liked the place where you stopped for an instant. Nice touch. The instrumental ending was really good, nice and melodic. Nice song give us more!!!

nice vocal, nice glide/electric guitar work, plaintive and meaningful vibe and cool chord progression--some very nice lyrics as well...well written all the way around. quality work!

I loved the soulful sound of the guitar.

This was a cool mixture of ozzy's country vocals meets Chris isaaks guitar. I liked it!

Good lyrics

Excellent vocal (definite country/surfer kind of vibe). Starts out sounding like its going to be country. But, then you break into your belt and it goes a different (good) place. Arrangement sounded tight. Vocal was strong and clear with a touch of soul. Great job!

liked the vocal style of this rock folk track has a soulful edge to it
good instrumentation throughout. and guitar playing

Very cool vibe-y song overall. Like the vocal. Good visual impression.

Real good one here. All around good effort.

Nice changes in song and good hook in melody

BLUESY COUNTRY TOONE__/great songwriting--I like it--would be a great one to do live!/this song touched me way down in my soul somewhere/kinda unique message--thanxs--joe

The singer has a very fine a distinct style with a strong delivery. Love the lyrics as this reminds me of an Allman Brother's composition. The lead guitar is simply outstanding; very fine Folk/Rock arrangement.

Great song, really liked this! superb vocal performance with a really good chorus. Some great and unexpected chord progressions. Nice break down and resume into the last chorus. thanks, enjoyed this a lot.
