about

I have recorded this song a lot. I recorded it for a Tycoon Machete album. The reason I record this song a lot is because this is a fucking great song. No other reason is necessary.

lyrics

mother road

you cursed – you spat on the ground
the night we burned your daddy’s farmhouse down
my car loaded – your bags all packed
we both know there’s no turning back

when we had half a chance
we pulled into the fields so you could dance
in the headlights you spin so fast
your bare feet kicking at the past

like the wind we are gone
and chasing the sun
down this mother road

in the morning we were delivered
we tossed the gun into the muddy river
this dust will cover all the blood
this is between us and god

like the wind we are gone
and chasing the sun
down this mother road

we’ll get lost – we’ll be out of touch
in california if it’s not too much
keep running until the money’s gone
this is the time for our song

like the wind we are gone..
and chasing the sun…
down this mother road
