Story Behind The Song
One of the upstate NY area studios called to put a compilation album to benefit the Tsunami victims. I was happening to be working on a guitar part at the time. The lyrics came easily and I added the drums/bass violins to the mix. The song is inspirational to looking at our life in a different perspective. Every day is a gift, let's take advantage of it. Let's make our lives full of "life". Rock it out!!

Lyrics
Let?s Go
Words and Music by Virgil Cain
A tragedy lets thousands blink one last time, then
Sweeps them toward the light
If I was riding through the tunnel with them,
Would I be proud of my hindsight
(and I think)
It?s time to wake up all my dreams,
Give them something they can feel
Cuz my life?s been in the driver?s seat,
But sleeping at the wheel
Chorus:
(so I say, c?mon)
Let?s Go
We get just one life
Let?s get to know it (show it who we really are)
Let?s get to grow it to a great big shining star
All this time my life?s been Sunday driving,
My good intentions all around
And I look back and see them flying out the window,
Just littering the ground
It?s time to pick up all the pieces and make them,
Into something real
Time to put my hands on 10 and 2,
And feel alive behind this wheel
Chorus
