The Boulevard

Might get us out on the boulevard

Out on to the asphalt

Where the big rigs full of LED’s

lead the way

When I am feeling well

I am wanting to go somewhere

To a place not crowded by barking dogs and folks

Into the mountains and clean air

Mile after mile of two-lane tree lined roads

 

This is it

The one life you get

No matter how hard you try

You’ll never do it all

This is it

The only life you get

Go have a ball

 

Take a moment

Stop and enjoy the view

As you stumble and muddle your way through

This is it

This is it

 

The only life you will ever get

Tuesday Morning Rant

When I was a boy, the devil would taunt me and call my name,

He would say to me who do you,

who do you think you are fooling

And we would play the game

 

Today I sit in the house, with a cup of coffee in hand

and I think of Bakersfield or Flagstaff Arizona

all the places I have been

 

I sit here somewhat wounded and bleeding

Licking the cuts

I want desperately to find a two-lane and own it

Replete with soft shoulders

Pot holes and fences

 

Take me from this miserable city

With its noise, dirt, crime and petty offenses

 

The open road, my old heart is calling for you once again

C’mon baby, give me a little more of you

C’mon baby, yeah, give me a little more of you

Walk a little ways in my shoes

 

No more nosy neighbors or barkin dogs

Electric bills or natural gas

Give me the road

And kiss the part of me

That goes over the fence last.

 

I hear the train in the distance

Such a lonely sound it makes,

When it is gone there is only silence

So quiet, you can hardly hear the sound of my heart as it breaks.

 

Tuesday morning in the Big Town.
