about

Inspired by my motorcycle rides back in the day, this song was written and recorded in the late seventies. My youngest brother, Mark, who is a fabulous piano/keyboard player and singer, brought all of his recording stuff to my house and we recorded the song on cassette. Thanks, Mark, so much fun! Smooth sailing!

lyrics

New Pavement

Would you just look at this road
It's a crying shame
Ruts that'll make your tires explode
Holes no shocks can tame

Even the repair jobs
Are rough as they can be
Asphalt piled in great big blobs
This torture test's not for me

I want some new pavement
Black as a vein of coal
I'm talking new pavement
Worth its weight in gold
New, new gold

Unmarked, low shoulder, slippery when wet
Smooth sailing, unfailing speed is what you get
With new pavement

My hand is out the window
Cutting through the breeze
Tires are humming down below
I'm doing just what I please

Cruising down the blacktop
Smoothness is everything
I never ever want to stop
Just so I have one thing

New pavement
Black as a vein of coal
I'm talking new pavement
Worth its weight in gold
New, new gold

Unmarked, low shoulders, slippery when wet
Smooth sailing, unfailing speed is what you get
With new pavement

about

William Morris (aka Lanny) Lambdin Amherst, Virginia

I grew up in a house that was always filled with music, from opera and hymns to musicals and the symphonies of the classical composers. As a consequence, my head has always been full of tunes and my song-writing has flowed from that wealth of music as well as the rock and blues I have gravitated to as an adult. My inner child stays close by, so my creations are mostly for kids - of all ages. ... more
