Showgirl Series #9 "Road by Road"

“We have become fast fans of singer/songwriter Carrie Cunningham and her Showgirl Series”

Where did that come from?

Story behind the song

Over the past few years, I have been experiencing a ton of spiritual visions. From dreams where God is talking to me, to experiencing past lives. I know that Is hard for people to hear both sides of the spectrum, but it's true.

During one of my writing sessions with Jan Edwards and Lucy Leblanc, I was telling them of some of my visions. I have a friend whom when we were around each other, I would get "flashbacks". I ended up traveling back in time around 8 times when he was around. All 8 times, he was there. Other times, I had visions and he wasn't in them, but they are clear as day. Like they happened last week.

All three examples in the song are taken from my past live experiences. The first one has been with me since I was a little girl.

Lyrics

I was a child with visions, cursed & convicted no one could understand
They took me to the river, in a trial by water, bound my feet and hands
I can still feel myself sinking to the bottom like a heavy stone
That was just one trip I remember for my old soul

Just before dawn, I could see their shadows outside my teepee
There was fire everywhere, smoke filled the air, and all I heard were screams
I can still feel the horses' thunder on the ground as I tried to run
Took an arrow to the heart in the burning field, but I'm still not done

Life by life road by road
'Til I get where I'm supposed to go
Each time I return there's something to learn
So I'll take it slow
Life by life road by road

My West Virginia lady was crying on my shoulder begging me not to go
My blue coat and a musket strapped around my chest, I could hear the bugle blow
There were bodies everywhere when I reached the battle of Gettysburg
As I laid on the ground, rain washed me clean and I left this earth

Life by life road by road
'Til I get where I'm supposed to go
Each time I return there's something to learn
So I'll take it slow
Life by life road by road

Life by life road by road
'Til I get where I'm supposed to go
Each time I return there's something to learn
So I'll take it slow
Life by life road by road
Oooh
Life by Life
Road by Road
