American Truck
Words and Music ©2021 Chris Price


Jetted off to Chicago, Michigan Avenue
As I sailed the First Lady
I never thought of you

I got the train but it ran off the track
she got me in a torture rack
Follow my shadow but it chased me back to you

Mississippi baby here I come, over the Sunshine Bridge
Jazzin’ out in Baton Rouge
That’s exactly what I did

I got the train but it ran off the track
she got me in a torture rack
Follow my shadow but it chased me back to you

No rhyme or reason, fresh outta luck
Must have been the season
To take a greyhound or ride on an American, an American truck

Next stop is South Dakota, Black Hills out in the west
Crazy Horse, Cathedral Spires
Iron Mountain Road’s the best

I got the train but it ran off the track
she got me in a torture rack
Follow my shadow but it chased me back to you

No rhyme or reason, fresh outta luck
Must have been the season
To take a greyhound or ride on an American an, American truck

American Truck...

Loved this. A no messing' around great rocker with excellent guitar work and great guitar sound. Might be my laptop but I wonder if it needs a bit more in the bass to get the feet stamping. Also - and this is purely personal preference - but I reckon some belting female backing vocals would add a whole new dimension to it. Great track though.

Fabulous track @ChrisPrice Love the "In Yer Face" guitars - What a superb tone - This packs a real punch - Those guitars are fabulous - Overall, superbly put together and full of attitude and balls - Reminds me of The Faces at their best - Top quality Chris  :)

The Faces? Now you know I like them so I'll certainly take that comparison!! First proper rock band I saw when I was 16. Life changing moment. I immediately wanted to play in a rock n roll band and I also developed an appetite for a glass or two!! They have a lot to answer for!! ;D

Autobiographical at all? Intriguing story. Great guitar tones! Bass could come up a bit though... Nice dramatic pauses.
Very well put together as always from you.

That's rockin!
great story
and a really robust production

Another nice one Chris!
It's either this or that, then again it might be the other. 

I can promise you a future of slow decline.

The guitar riffs sound divine! Great work of the musicians in the team.
Energetic melody, wonderful vocals, amazing drums!
This is a real rock and roll!
