It's that time of the week again when I need to go to the bathroom!
So, I wrote this song in 2011 after my first experience hitch-hiking and busking around Southern England, I got home and I realised that the world is an open road and I don't have to stay in my sad little Northern town. I felt free, I felt like I'd found the key, and I was one of the few people brave enough to hold it!
A few months later I set off into mainland Europe with no more than £100 in my pocket, no bank cards, no rich daddy to bail me out - just a guitar, a set of harmonicas and a rucksack, and I spent nine months exploring France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, then I lived the Winter out in the Arctic North of Sweden, moving on through Finland and Norway and eventually back home. All by hitch-hiking, busking and couch surfing!
It was the most amazing thing I've ever done, and to be quite honest I'm ready to do it again, I've been stuck here ever since I got back in 2012...
So, Southbound Boots is like an anthem for people everywhere wanting to escape.
