Holy Road

Driving down back country roads deep down in the South
Made it out the West cCast as an outlaw running round
A restless spirit and a lonesome heart makes it hard to settle down now that I got a steady place to lay my body down all I can say is...
Oh holy road, oh holy road, oh holy road take me away, take me away again
Tried my hand as a family man keeping up a yard
Sometimes I think I'd be better off just sleeping in my car
Used to be a singer in a rockabilly band felt like I had the whole world in the palm of my hand
And I still do sing a song or two
But I'm so far away from you
Oh holy road, oh holy road, oh holy road take me away, take me away again

Two Strange

Too strange for my mind too strange for these times, I'll be two strange in a way.
Across the high mountain ranges and the dark dessert plains
I'll be too strange in a way
Too strange for my mind too strange for these times I'll be too strange in a way
Well you can't hold on to what's already gone just look up at the sky and say so long
Goodbye my love I'm traveling on
Never meant to hurt you or do you wrong
The good things in life just don't last too long
They pass like the tides and the seasons change
Never in my whole lonesome life have I ever felt this strange
Too strange for my mind too strange for these times oh I'll be too strange in a way
Oh I'll be home soon cutting loose and feeling good but I'll still be too strange in a way.
Too strange for the country too strange for the city I'll be too strange in a way
Too strange fory mind too strange for these times I'll be too strange in a way

Rattlesnake Wash

At the intersection tween lost and found
Headed out east through Phoenix town
First bridge I crossed was rattlesnake Wash
You told me I'm in every one of your songs
Spent my nights partying with Jake and Pete
Getting all wasted and losing sleep
Spent my summers up in Aetna springs
Old California ain't got nothing on me
Took me half an hour just to wash my feet
Soaping my toes in a cold water spring
Stopped for the night in Amarillo
Took off my boots and hit the pillow
In Oaklahoma nearly lost my life
There was a ladder across that old highway line
Stopped once again in Memphis town
It was hard to find a place to settle down
26 cops in Tennessee
One of em escorted me through Johnson City
When I hit that North Carolina line
I was hootin and hollering and feeling just fine
Well it ain't that hard to write a song these days
Open up your heart and let the radio play
Ain't that hard to write a song these days
Open up your mind and let the radio play

Coyote Night
02:48
|

|
Between these walls many a dream was laid to rest
Between these picture frame windows
All hope was put to death
Nothing will ever be the same again
So long honey it's over it all has to end
Jack's Queens and aces wild nights in the middle of nowhere
Takin it all in letting it go roll it on down the road again
Wildfires burning up the west coast it runs dry
Flooding out east all summer long the crooked creeks swell and the rivers roll on
A fleeting dream a forgotten song lost in time
Try to remember it
Forever chasing it into the coyote night

Wine and Pills
02:31

|
Well I never had a love like a freight train
Cus a freight train just keeps rollin through the night
I need me soft kisses in the morning and in the evening I need my sweet wine
Don't ever tell me I’d forget you cuz your memory still keeps me up all night
Don't ever ask me to love you like I used to
There ain't no erasing all the crazy things we been through
But the pills and the wine just get me through the night
The pills and the wine just help me feel alright
I know this is wrong but what else is there
When I just keep chasing memories
Things change and people leave when it's over
But the pills and the wine just get me through the night
The pills and the wine just make me feel alright.
