about

country rock musings about looking for your place on this earth

lyrics

I can't recall
How long I've been
Out on the road
Baked by the sun

And I leave
Blood on the tracks
And
smoke on the lake
But they are
Just some old tapes
And the smog from LA

And so I'll surf these dunes
And hum my tunes

And now I'm
Hanging low
And driving high
Like tide and noon
I'm just passing by

But I
Leave behind
A trail of crumbs
But the crumbs are clouds
And the sky is clear

As above
So below

And so
there's no way back
Nowhere to be
Not homeward bound
But boundless and free

And I
Lost the trail
But I
Found time
'Cause one of these days
Might be the last

And my fate and fears
Hide on the road
In the shape of trees
Underneath the rocks

Growing moss
Getting old

But when I thought I found
Just what's in store for me
I move up on ahead
Then I finally see

It's not what I thought
It's just a traffic cone
Left by side of the road
Right by the side of the road

So I guess I'll be
Another traffic cone
Left by the side of the road
Right by the side of the road

And yet I'm still here
Stuck in my balcony
The light breaks through
The wind is brisk
There's no place I'd rather be

And so
These scenes and songs
Will only pass me by
But
The dead are grateful
And I think
I just might die

So take me to the garden parties
And your local music store
We'll hang out at the airport's Yard House
Great food and classic rock

There's no place
I'd rather go

I want to stay
I want to go
By the side of the road
By the side of the road

I want to stay
I want to go
By the side of the road
By the side of the road
