From the recordings Another Kind of Train and The Good Road
The Brother Bicker Band’s new single “The Good Road” celebrates the completion (and convenience) of the city’s ring road in the band’s hometown of Calgary with driving roots-rock energy and soaring harmonies. Recorded at Evergreen Sound with Mark Troyer, the track blends grit, melody, and heart into a modern ode to progress, staying true to your path, and the open highway.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Sometimes life gets tough
I don’t know where to go
Bridges burned and lessons learned
Caught in the rush hour flow
I look up ahead Where life has led
Along that yellow line
It’s sixty miles of trails and trials
Till I reach that exit sign
Chorus
Takes me on the Good Road
I know my journey’s long
Straight and true, it cuts right through
Keeps me going strong
Take me on the Good Road
It’s the road I’m driving on
Life hits a curve, I hold my nerve
and keep it rolling on
Take me on the Good Road
Verse 2
Someday’s traffic’s light
Other days it’s slow
Well it’s Stoney and it’s lonely
A place I gotta go
When I’m on the brink it’s time to think
my spirit’s free to roam
My soundtrack plays paving the way
For me to make it home
Chorus
Take me on the Good Road
I know my journey’s long
Straight and true, cuts right through
Keeps me going strong
Take me on the Good Road
It’s the road I’m driving on
When life hits a curve, I hold my nerve
and keep it rolling on
Take me on the Good Road
Solo
Bridge
It’s a fine road, takes a wide load
Some hills I gotta climb
But It’s a bypass for the BS
And gets me there in time
Chorus
Take me on the Good Road
I know my journey’s long
It’s straight and true, cuts right through
Keeps me going strong
Take me on the Good Road
It’s the road I’m driving on
When life hits a curve, I hold my nerve
And keep it rolling on
Outtro
Take me on the Good Road (I know my journey’s long)
Take me on the Good Road (it keeps me going strong)
Take me on the Good Road (it’s the road I’m driving)
Take me on the Good Road (it keeps me rollin’ on)
Take me on the Good Road
