about

"Where U At" was inspired by stories Rob read about some fatal accidents that involved texting while driving. Browsing the internet, Rob came across an article from a while back about a young woman, heading off to meet a new friend at a baseball game, who texted "where u at" while driving - sadly, it was that single act that caused her to be distracted just for a moment, crash, and lose her life. The second verse is based on another incident where a young man texts while driving. Featuring Rob's vocals and horn work, he's playing every instrument here.

lyrics

Where U At words and music by Rob Birdwell

she was on her way
heading out to some place fun
to see some guy she met
playing baseball under an American sun

where u at
that’s all she said
that’s all she said
in a text message driving

where u at
and that’s all she wrote
when everybody knows
something good’s worth waiting for

he was on a ride
with his girl at his side
cruising straight on the money
a casual reply on the sly
what the hell, lol
boom, crash, ah honey

where u at
that’s all she said
that’s all she said
in a text message driving

where u at
and that’s all she wrote
so promise me please
that you’ll keep it
on the sweet and down low

it’s the same old story
technology for you and me
is like apes at The Modern Museum of Art

much too late for sorry
so light my days
with a cryptic phrase
before I fall apart

where u at
that’s all she said
that’s all she said...

where u at
and that’s all she wrote...
