This is one of the songs that helped me keep my nose to the grindstone and manifest our dream. Lin and I were into the Mother Earth News, live sustainably, back to land movement. When we built the Buda Treehouse in 1983, Buda had a population of 789. We were in "the country". We had made it!!! We had no idea that in 30 years we would become south Austin.
A HIGHWAY GOODBYE:
When Guy Clark first sang “L.A. Freeway”, it wasn’t just about leaving a city — it was about escaping a life that didn’t fit his soul. With a guitar case full of dreams and the Texas dust still clinging to his boots, he wrote it after packing up his small Los Angeles apartment, whispering to himself, “If I can just get off of this L.A. freeway…” The song became a hymn for every restless spirit who ever felt trapped by the noise of the world. Years later, when Clark sang it on stage with a half-smile and a faraway look, you could still hear the gravel roads of home echoing in his voice — weary, free, and utterly true.
