Song information
The music was written a bit influenced by "I Keep Forgetting"" by Michael McDonald, which is a great tune in my book. The marimba sounding part in the middle was a tribute to "New Math" by Dave Samuels, another great piece. The lyrics were written after the music was all put together. Looking for a subject to write about, I turned to a recent road trip I had done from Seattle to Boise. The "Dr. K" in the lyrics is a tribute to my ex housemate, Mike Kesterson, also a musician who was called Dr. K mostly due to his shaved head. Steve Caustrita contributed drums as well as some of the keyboards. He also helped master and mix the tune.

Lyrics
Three star hotel
Curtains in the breeze
Behind could be a city
Could be blowing trees
And Dr. K wouldn't hang around
He wouldn't say to be so bound

CHORUS:
Gotta keep it moving
Gotta keep it growing somehow
Gotta keep it moving
Gotta keep it growing somehow

Still three days before you have to leave
Gotta find something to pull out of your sleeve
You might have to go a hundred miles 
To get a picture for your files

REPEAT CHORUS:

The museum's over there, but the cost is insane
But the state chambers don't seem so plain
And the art store stays closed until four
But the trails weaving through hit you to the core

And in the evening hours could it be said
You could find a novel, you might not have read
The nightspots are worse for wear
But there's no telling what might be there

REPEAT CHORUS:

Very FULL sound this... Vocal forward in the mix as it deserves to be in a tune like this.
Really like the main melody. Always enjoy your guitar riffing!
