about

Hang up those keys ya'll.

lyrics

The rear view mirror's where I'm lookin'
Thinking it'll show me what I could've been
The CB holds my only friends
I think it's time to drive that lonely road again

I'm running out of road I hadn't traveled
Running out of reasons just to stay gone
There's not much left to believe in
'Cause this old truck is all I've ever known

Now it's Friday night and I should feel alive
But I'm barely getting by
So many times I've been out of line
And caught up in a lie
These are the days I should've erased
But they're hanging over me
To sum up this life, would it be a waste of time?
I wonder if I'll ever be free

I'm always the one that's leaving town
I doubt if anyone remembers me
I'm tired of saying I don't need anyone
All this searching has left me empty

This rain reminds me of the tears I hide
Knowing I hardly make it home
It's time to scrape myself up again
'Cause nothing's set in stone

Being kicked around is all I've ever known
It's time to stop living life on my own
I'm hanging up the keys on this last load
'Cause my heart just ain't in the haul no more

Now it's Friday night and I feel alive
No more barely getting by
So many times I've been out of town
But I'm staying in tonight
The is the way to sleep in late
With my baby next to me
To sum up this life - it's no disguise
It's the perfect way to be

Fantastic sounding stoner / blues album. The whiskey soaked voice really suits the music. This album maybe a few years old now, but it doesn't date. Buy! Buy! Buy! Mr. Starsmore

Epic magic right here on this record, what a tale woven into some serious heavy psychedelic rock n fucking roll ! The Midnight Toker.
