Jerry makes the first assignment, and as I’ve requested, it’s a nice open-ended one: "In honor of being snowed in for 4 days, the song should have a line referencing bring trapped, stuck, or something in that ballpark.”
Another short, finger-style, stream of consciousness tune.
lyrics
Nowhere to go but up from here
Nowhere to go but up for air
Nowhere to go it's a mystery
Nowhere to go far as I can see
Locked in or locked out
Close to the edge or roundabout
Getting ready for the rebound the rebound the rebound
Nowhere to fall but down from here
Nowhere to fall so let's let's be fair
No one to call, it's a tragedy
No one to call but you & me
Locked out or locked in
Live to love or live to win
Getting ready for the rebound the rebound again
No way out from the thundercloud
You'd better find your way back in
No substitute for mercy when you don't know how to swim
