about

The lyrics for May the Road Rise Up are inspired by the words to a popular Irish blessing that read:

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

The refrain is verbatim from a quote by the spiritual guru the late Ram Das—“We're all just walking each other home.”

lyrics

Verse 1

Keep the wind at your back
Keep the sunshine on your face
And I will hold you in a warm embrace

Chorus A

May the Road Rise Up to Meet You x4

Chorus B

May the Road Rise Up to Meet You x2
We are all just walking each other home
May the Road Rise Up to Meet You x4

Verse 2

Your tears fall soft like rain
As we walk holding hands
Knowing we may not be here again

about

David Woodard Nashville, Tennessee

David Woodard returns with GET IT GOOD, a full-length effort full of his trademark sugar-sweet melodies and harmonies. There is much more here than throwbacks to the Liverpool’s favorite sons. David influences are often on his sleeve as overtones of Fountains of Wayne, Cheap Trick, Big Star, The Rolling Stones, and even boygenius trickle from your speakers like familiar friends. ... more
