Hank Williams shit kicks Jagger takes Richards down south .dig up David Briggs bring him into town set fire to that Cadillac and drive it around .Blair Harvey sleeps on the tracks. Hail fallin like god from above. rock n roll bitch. BLACK. Love crawlin down the avenue .heart strings breakin. kill ya before you get a chance to die .one for the ditch two for the road nothing to get gone now go man go .snarlin at the mad ones .guitar playin like a junky on Sunday .a downtown shame. Februaries busker. Four hours straight no break .sons name is Townes never lets him down .walkin talkin cryin the blues.evil gospel train wreck lover. BLARVEY. Robert Johnson's 38 special left to rust on the last train and the last kiss .Blair Harvey is the a.m. lady twisted in vain stumbling out your door and birds don't sing. Battered six string dream .the paper doll .the laughing ace. the silent film of your heart. burnin wheels and love wont sing. The underground .no mans town .cold irons bound .no money for bread medicated blind willie blues. Just fade and haunt the road drive and drive lookin for its ghost. Lovesick rails. The echoes of a station .last strum of a storm .darkness in the pot. a pocket full of holes .hazy light amongst the smoke drownin in the alley and comin back up to pray .this time that time last time no time.
