A bluesy epic, raw grind with a huge rock n roll shift in the gears. Horns, dirty slides and gritty harmonies.
lyrics
Oh I need a holiday,
Some country air, anywhere I’ll stay, I go slipping out
Driving round n droppin in and droppin out
Rainbow trails and pots of gold, gonna get my fill before I get too old,
I got a thinking man’s brow and time to get it solved.
And she says, I got a guy who’s hard to please, knots in his hair, holes in his jeans, won’t follow directions, the veins in my neck show I need release.
And he goes, I got a girl who’s hard to please, drops from her tongue, it’s not what she means,
She’s on a mission, to floor my condition, it’s not what I need.
And we go on and on and on
We go on and on
So I queried the man who advised me to stand by,
said your stuck with the blade that you live or you die by,
you carry that weight, puts the lines on your face, that what he said.
And it’s too much to mention, the pain is immense, I’ve got splinters in skin where I crawled at the fence, and the blood from my nails are leaving a trail for the dead.
