It all started in a burger joint scorching August day
Couple hessian kids daring each other to wander away
Well we didn’t have women less often had cash
So we sifted and twisted rolled and passed that joint along
Might have gone to Miami for the metal scene
Don’t know how much fun that that would have been
One last customer at the Greyhound between
Us and those fishnets when a man screamed New Orleans
The big easy you’ll never starve
Sixteen year old boys drink in bars learn the blues guitar
First night on the streets we already lost our loot
Well the crackhead come first then the prostitute
Well we didn’t get high and we didn’t get sex
And as far as TB well I had the doctor check much later on
Bottles clashed there was giggling the lasses was wiggling
Shy passes unintriguing but they still took us home
And in the months that tore past a man’s visage was cast
By the boy tumbling past the further and further he roamed
Watch him roll
Fell in with a hustler his wife he would pawn
And Bobby and Joany’s one true son
Well I was living all right I stayed out most nights
Well some of them are living while some of their sights have withdrawn
If my tune could carry to Lissa and Jeremy
Still life in the memory of them wailing and high
Fair Teshan and Mike Younger how your old pal has wondered
Where my imagination’s colored the truer hue of life
What spectrum was known
Jim, I'm loving this album! Sounds so good. I don't think the pedal steel was on the last versions of these tracks I heard. It's great! Kudos on a lovely record. Ben Armstrong
