Abie Lena Comments‘This is the funniest song in the whole album. It comes from that side of me that was moving on to the next chapter of my life, it also shows how the album switches from the sad songs to the more confident and happier songs. I like this sudden switching we did intentionally in the album, as the time was passing by I was feeling better with myself and so the songs were born from a stronger side of me.
I had the lyrics of this song first, so I wanted a blues influence on it with country guitars. Rick produced this one, and Julian helped complete her a little bit by changing some line of it. I’m very cling to release this as a single in a near future, my label wanted this as the lead single, but after discussing a little more we decided that we should start first showing the fragile side of the album.
Everytime I listen to this song, I start laughing, because it’s me speaking with my ex-boyfriend by saying that he is so full of himself, but if you really pay attention to the lyrics, I’m kind of taking the same plot he took. It’s a song that will remind my fans to my first album too. It has more of that blues influenced I used in my first album, an influence that is less used in this new album but it’s still here.’
Song DescriptionSwitching from the sad songs of the album comes ‘Baby Hit The Road’. It starts with a percussion-driven jazz melody which later is incorporated with backing vocals and electric guitar. Abie has an incredibly ironic and funny tone on her vocals. There also the addition of bass and piano leading the song to a softer blues.
Right after the first chorus of the song, there’s a break moment where another electric guitar is introduced and then it goes with the song till finally Abie reach the pre-chorus of it and it comes back to the original structure presented before.
In the stripped-down piano bridge Abie's vocals carry a twinge of sweetness before the chorus starts strongly and surprisingly ironic. The final chorus is louder than the other ones, but it’s because of the full melody structure the song took before it ends in the piano.
Abie give us a very unique style while singing this song, she’s sounding ironic and acidic, it’s like if she’s laughing the same time she’s singing the song. Lyrics are about Abie getting all of her confidence and self-acceptance back, she’s telling her boyfriend to never comeback anymore because she’s sick of him and now she only cares about her and even more she’s telling him that he was not good enough for her and that’s the reason they broke up, a little too selfish for Abie, but still very original.

LyricsYou think you know
You said I was immature on stories of love
But you don’t know
Just because you’re older or because you’re grown
No I don’t agree
Baby I think it’s better if you disappear
Take your things I’ve made up my mind
I’m so over you
And you don't need to try
You don’t have
Anything I could use for
And baby I don’t want to see you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
You look at me
With punishment eyes as if you’ll judge me
You think I’m a fool
Just ‘cause I didn’t have relationships like you do
You should know this is my choice
I rather be a fool than be all coiled
Haven’t you thought, you’re not that much?
Take your things I’ve made up my mind
I’m so over you
And you don't need to try
You don’t have
Anything I could use for
And baby I don’t want to see you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
And today I pray, someone will show you
That love isn’t just taking all for you
If you were humble, there weren’t all these tumbles
You really don’t know how to love
But someday you’ll see it, someone will make you feel it
You don’t know anything
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
Baby hit the road
Don’t want you anymore
