Story Behind The Song
Hey, we all drive to get away, and the singer and I really connected on this topic, of having an angel and a devil on each shoulder whispering contradictory things while you are alone in the car with nothing but the wind, the music and the hum of the engine.
Song Description
This song is about using the road as therapy. Your car, your music and your future. As the title suggests 'Dancin with the Blacktop' is about the dance you do with the road as you are driving to forget or driving to a better place.

Lyrics
Melt like a snowflake greeting the sun
All the darkness coming / coming undone
Lit like a candle / facing the east
No longer chocked by this dirty halo
I got a devil on the back seat
My heart is ticking a broken beat
I take a breath look him in the eye
Twisted smoke from his crooked smile
Chorus
But you can roll / you can roll with it
You can drive into the sunlight
Just put the top down you can fly
You can fly until you're feeling / feeling alright.
VII
I got a head full of shredded, fragments of a nightmare
A razor breeze cutting through me
Throw the tears into the night air
Caustic dreams keep burning
Plastic smiles keep grinning
I am the phoenix rising rising
Ashen mind, a straight line
Chorus II
But you can roll / you can roll with it
You can drive into the sunlight
Just put the top down you can fly
You can fly until you're feeling / feeling alright.
But you can roll / you can roll with it
You can drive into the sunlight
Just put your foot down you can fly
You can fly until you're feeling / feeling alright.
