A True Story - Two Towns Called Rotterdam (OFFICIAL DEMO RECORDING)

Would you believe me if I told you this was a real romance, a true story, a documentary in music of my parents love story. A real country zinger. Yes I am 1/2 Dutch. Lyrics - She was born in ’67 in Rotterdam, New York Where winter laid its snow down on every front porch Her daddy drove a semi her mama cut the neighbors’ hair and with her younger brother she never could compare Two towns called Rotterdam an ocean in between, Two kids born in ’67 living separate dreams. Before they knew each other before the stars aligned Life was drawing both their roads toward the same place in time He was born in ’67 in Rotterdam over seas Raised on Dutch tradition and Vlaardingen streets His father was a peddler where the money makers sat His mother stayed at home where the party was at He stumbled through his school years while his brother found his way Never knowing someone waited half a world and years away Two towns called Rotterdam an ocean in between Two kids born in ’67 living separate dreams Before they knew each other before the stars aligned Life was drawing both their roads toward the same place in time Softball took her to Rotterdam across the deep blue shiny sea she stood in his bedroom sat with his mother over tea he took a long vacation to the good ol' USA went to see the horses run but missed her again that day Then fate played its cards and the deck was stacked They were the All-Star softball player and the boy who tipped his hat Two towns called Rotterdam no ocean in between Two kids born in ’67 stepped into the same dream Two towns called Rotterdam two roads that intertwined Life had always led them to the same place at the right time
