lyrics

Percy poked his peepers
from behind the venetian
the world smacked him in the face
like he was staring at creation
the letter on the night stand
talked of adventures stained with liquor
but if she'd stayed she was afraid
he'd just try to trick her
now she's on the highway with her thumb out
trying to get to Michigan
he swears that's the last time he'll ever give
a stranger a kiss again

Leaving through the laundry
landing in the Chevrolet
he curses at the car till the engine
starts and carries him away
no more motels, no more bars
he mutters at himself
I just want the open road, the lightest load
my happiness and health
the mountains grew up to meet him
to shield him from the smoking cities
making his home high above the ocean's foam
deep in Washington's trees

and all of the appeal
he could really feel
when the stars were out
and his belly was full
with a good roadside meal
and sometimes in passing
he can picture her asking
now where'd you think your going
don't you think the
future is worth contemplating
and he says no, he says no
thinking of the future will only
make you worry about where
to go
but have no fear
I am happy right here

hiding in the hills again
reminds him of way back when
around about the age of ten
he fell in bad with a foxes den
robbing stores and robbing banks
he thought of them as chickens
but the experience will pale when followed
by betrayal
and then the plot just thickens
but a change of name and a change of heart
left him free in the north western breezes
where on the porch, with a pipe and his
ukulele he can do what he pleases

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
