Recorded on Tascam MKIII, 2004

lyrics

Outside Cheyenne, we popped a tire. That’s when I set myself on fire. A little further up the road, she told me, “This is all you’ll ever get, older still and deeper in debt. This is all that ever pass, three days late and out of gas.” I shuffled slowly into town, ordered a drink to get the fire down, the diner waitress said to me, she told me, “Tell it to St. Christopher, patron saint of truck drivers, epileptic indie kids and world-weary travelers.” Say it isn’t true! Can’t be, I won’t live my life like you. And if that’s just the way it has to be, let them build a highway over me. I made my peace with Father Time and carried on my life of crime. And on my chair day, I’ll retire, saying, “This is all she ever wrote, halfway mad and halfway broke. This is all there was to see and this is all there was for me.” Say it isn’t so. If it is I wouldn’t wanna know. And if that’s just the way it has to be, let them name this highway after me.
