track number 8
sun kil moon
i crossed the highways like i did as a child
their john steinback calm
peeling victorians that used to house whores
i take the back streets back to my digs
and look up at skies like i did as a kid
of a life close to what i'm living
a traveling singer who plays good guitar
we're destined to be this
she set the bait and i took the bite
i walk around thinking the sun's always low
they're the highlights of my songwriting days
these are some words i wrote down last night
i've beat 'em to death and i can't get 'em right
a relentless itch and bed bug curse
to get up on stage and sing you a tune
this business is troubling
you get on this plane and i'll sit at your desk
and i'll leave at eight and be home by five
call me from warsaw if you have time
ever wonder why there aren't more
then ten songs on most albums?
and rest on their laurels
and i know it ain't great
will probably sequence it
and pick up some water at 7-11
on my way to a mastering session
i walk out the door and the sun always flow
they help me forget my songwriting woes
