lyrics

Coughing up blood near LaGrand
Just enough to fog up the windows
Waiting till 5am to take the greyhound
Dirty snow hits veinline I trust another to drive

The road is long and narrow
and on the other end, a warm bed alone

I'll return a victor
when the blood dries
When the shaking's temporary

If no one's dug to the rythm of the sun
Then why am I still trying
When the hours I haven't wasted have been
in the company of friends

Lucky strikes in Dark Bar
Our heads unfurl
again again again
cowboy boots on the tandem bike
toward the confluence of rivers (redundant, sorry)
let me drink and let me lie

The way is drunk and glowing
when the sun hits
A different means of living

I'll return a victor
When the blood dries
When the shaking's temporary

If no one's dug to the rythm of the sun
Then why am I still trying
When the hours I haven't wasted
Have been in the company of friends

If we could take another route
Would your blood still flow hot and wild
I went too far
I know I know

Thank you, Dancers!
by Slim Dunlap Band

supported by 6 fans who also own “Jay's Jam”

I knew Bob before he was 'Slim'. Then lost touch. Always followed him musically from Buzz Barker and the Atomic Bums to his solo work. I was never much into listening to live music at First Ave or bars so I didn't really get to watch him play and sing. I did see him open for Roseanne Cash once. Take care Bob! clayb
