Green Machine is about a green stratocaster (guitar). I came up with a simple/complete song idea, and wanted to finish it with little effort. I decided to just write about the guitar i was playing. This was recorded in December 2008 on my tascam DP-01.
feel the force pull me in
around my neck, feel it starting
close my eyes, take it in
strumming starts, sounds fill the air
she's got a life of her own
i take off, and i don't know where, but i know that she'll lead the way
and she's warm sometimes, but oh so cold
each time i look for the chance
to be as one, there's nothing else
yeah she's my green machine
there have been times when she was my only friend
how could i turn that away
got me out of some deep dark places
don't ever want to be there again
and she's warm sometimes, but oh so cold
each time i look for the chance
to be as one, there's nothing else
yeah she's my green machine
repeat chorus
to be as one, there's nothing else
yeah, she's my green machine
my green machine
