lyrics

I see the road winding through the canyon
Down to the valley
Swallows are gathering on the fence
By the far-right lane
Seems like all of God’s little creatures
Are getting restless
Two more hours & I’ll be
On a southbound plane

There’s a gray light shining
On the far side of my eyelids
& a stillness in my mind
That I can’t explain
Angry men & women
Spreading the gospel
But I’ve got a ticket for a window-seat
On a southbound plane

Blue blue skies
Blue blue skies
Blue blue skies
For as far as my eyes can see

What else can you leave behind
Other than the things you don’t really care for
Spare them for the raptors
Circling over the plain
I’m gonna be traveling light
On that long sweet journey
There’s only so much you can take
When you board a plane

"There’s substance, originality, & cleverness at work here. I admire how these people take something that already exists traditionally & reinterpret it with their own ingredients to create something truly effective that resonates. This record is straight whiskey. Tom Waits would be proud."—AMERICANA HIGHWAYS ... more
