lyrics

There is a spot at the end of a thought,
That nobody finds till they're free,
It isn't a vision of pure energy,
Dirt's what you end up to be,
So book me a flight to the end of my life,
Save me a seat next to you,
Fix me a drink and then call me a fool,
A fool that has never been true.

To anyone he's kissin',
All the one's he's missin',
That saved themselves a seat meant for two,
Your nickers are gone the camera is on that's your cue,
There's no goin' back you're stuck on this track,
You're the new one.

So give me a loan I'm so broke and alone,
Lend me a place in your bed,
I'll always be broke hope you like a good joke,
A joke that is tragic instead,
Like jump up and down like a half drunken clown,
Show me your little tattoo,
The only thing gone when our minds greet the dawn,
Is a half empty bottle of booze.

I woke up on the tile,
Confused and beguiled,
Nothin' I could ever refuse,
My consciousness gone but I linger on just to be,
There's no goin' back I'm stuck on this track never free,
Never free baby.

Mountain Movers (2017)
by Mountain Movers

supported by 10 fans who also own “Blues For A Pecan Tree”

This album runs the gamut from the instrumental guitar freak-out of "I Could Really See Things" to the melodic pop perfection of "Vision Television. With only six songs on the record, each song except for the 19-second "Intro" have room to breathe and expand. The sound of the lead guitarist Kryssi Battalene's guitar is pure sonic bliss, and the rest of the band ably holds down the rhythm. kevcor73
