    Will Leet's debut album, 'Come Back Roses' on compact disc! For all you retro folks out there. Pop it into your old car stereo, and experience all of the amazing artwork by Nick Hobbs. Comes with never-before-seen gatefold.

    'Come Back Roses,' is Will Leet's debut full length LP. It is the ultimate collection of genre-spanning songs written by Will Leet and Christopher Burns over the last 10 years. The album was produced by Will Leet. In December 2019, basic tracking began on a tape reel at Dreamland Studios in Kingston, NY. Over the course of the next two years, we branched out to five other studios across New York, Connecticut, and California, and involved over 25 musicians.

    The record doesn't adhere to one genre. Each song commits fully to whatever it is in that moment; folk, hard rock, country, pop, bluegrass, and even baroque pop. The common thread is in the story telling. Each song calls for different ingredients to tell the tales. I hope you enjoy this 43 minute journey!

lyrics

He called himself a New York City Cowboy
He happened to drive the midtown bus
Never felt the healing of the highway
Florida bound, our hero was

He didn't even care to call his mother
When he left his wife and kids behind
With $20 and a pack of soda
Southern shores were on his mind

Freeway, freeway, freeway
Holiday Inn
This bus only stops around the bend

Won't be long till your money runs out
And your wife comes to bail you out

Freeway, freeway, freeway
Holiday Inn
This bus only stops around the bend

On his way he met a hitching sailor
He did not know he wanted company
How could he know so far from home
The sailor man was on the lamb,
For cheating and robbery

Freeway, freeway, freeway
Ain't with me
Go on, get away I'm not your accessory

Won't be long till the man finds out
And all your luck's run out
It's a one way ticket to the penitentiary
Freeway, freeway, freeway ain't with me
