lyrics

SURFER JOE

Here’s a song for Surfer Joe
He’s got no secrets but his palms won’t show
Only thing you really know
He’ll disappear before it snows

Give it up for Surfer Joe
You don’t ever see him come & go
He keeps you high—he can keep you low
Give it up for Surfer Joe

Honest face like a tired horse
No regrets & no remorse
You ask for credit & he’ll say of course
He’s got a sense who to endorse

Some people are not made for reincarnation
So they’re bound to slip into somebody else’s skin
Somebody else’s blood for a new sensation
He’s the man—you got to let him in

credits

from Dorado, released February 17, 2017

"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
