Pedal To The Metal

from LOVE IS THE HERO by MARTIN LUTHER MCCOY

/

about

Additionally this song too started in a session many years ago in a studio in Dumbo BK,NY. Camus and Paul and I had a vibe and eventually I took the files back west and then down south to Don McCollister's studio where we tried a few different approaches. Cold Play was mashing up the world and that Yamaha piano happen to be in Don's studio so we added another vibe to an already dense with layers soul jam. There are at least 5 different versions of this song but this one had a nice spark to it so I put it on this version of the record...ie, there will probably be another version, the deluxe Love Is The Hero Sessions.. it's actually a double cd.

lyrics

in a hustlers world
with no one to trust
but she ain't the average girl

he lets her ride
because she keeps him close to God

now he wants out of the game
but this ain't a life you can simply
just walk away from

so he buries his pain
deep inside his manly pride

I got some cash baby grab your keys
don't pack a bag take what you need
whatever helps ease your mind
tonight we leave the city behind

let's put the pedal to the metal let the top lean back
I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll run into
I'm checkin' for you how you feel about that
I think it's time we rendezvous

now he's rubbing her back
trying to work out a demon
that's haunting her life
someone took her innocence
so trusting was hard for her
until she found him

surely her mother is concerned
quit running around
when will you learn
but she said 'tomorrow waits for no one'
tonight we'll leave this city behind

chorus

cause all he really wants is to be with you
to feel your warm embrace
to wake up and kiss your face
now all she really wants is a love that's true
tonight was made for lovers
under covers
now take your top down and let the girls be free :)))

chorus
