about

A classic blues piece, this one was written when the artist found himself yet again talking a road less travelled in the middle of nowhere on his way home from a show that was somewhere, or maybe, sometimes, I suppose, knowing where nowhere is is a rather handy thing to know. This one might be for the parents more than the kids!

lyrics

Back Road Joe
with Lyn Eales

Back road Joe
Where did I go?
I'm back road Joe

I love out here
Where the kids are all so nice
I don't take that same way twice

It can take a little longer
But the road that you ride
It tells you how you feel inside

Sometimes you miss the corner
‘Cause the signs are not so big
But if I get bogged – It teach me how to dig

And when you have a wee stop
You can get out on your own - look under a stone
Find something beautiful - like scorpion
You could . . . take it back home

Barry Peters VIC, Australia

Dubbed the Paul Kelly of the underage music scene, Barry is based in Warrnambool on Australia's beautiful southern coast.

Amassing near gold record sales as a totally independent artist, his appeal is very simple: Barry writes great songs. Rich with environmental themes, his music is profound and energetic.

Warm, wise and funny, Barry Peters is an artist worth introducing to every child. ... more
