Greyhound Squeeze
Greyhound Squeeze by Ward C Locke | Buy Beat (112 BPM, A maj)
A long-haul bus ride gone wrong, told without cleaning any of it up.
The muse doesn't pick a lane. Neither does Ward C Locke.
No genre, no destination, no preconceived notion of what the music should sound like. Just whatever the muse is pointing at today, followed honestly and made with whatever tools work. The results don't always fit a category. That's the point. Come along if you're curious where it goes next.

Story behind the song
Eighteen hours locked-knee on a bus, then a sprint, then a very bad moment involving someone else's shoes. The blues rhythm holds steady through all of it, including the walk of shame at the end. Nobody comes out of this clean.

Lyrics
Held it in tight - eighteen hours straight,
Held it in tight - eighteen hours straight,
Crossed my ankles, prayin' at that gate.
Stumbled off that Greyhound, knees still locked,
Stumbled off that Greyhound, knees still locked,
Ran for the restroom, but my legs were shocked.
Stood at the urinal, finally let loose,
Stood at the urinal, and finally let loose,
But my aim went sideways - no excuse.
Hit the next man's wingtip
Brown leather, fresh shine.
He jumped back, looked down, looked up at me
Eyes wide. Said "fuuuuuh...."
I said "Brother, I'm sorry - that bus bent me,"
Said "Brother, I'm sorry - that bus done bent me,"
Eighteen hours of Greyhound cruelty.
Long-ride, legs-locked, spray-shot blues,
Long-ride, legs-locked, spray-shot blues,
Some lessons you learn... on another man's shoes.
What did I do?
I zipped up fast, walked out slow,
Yeah I zipped up fast, head hung low,
Some rides teach you more than you wanna know.
