Out On That Road


A heart in your condition
Shouldn't be out on that road tonight
Bad clutch and your load keeps shiftin'
But hold on, Buddy you'll be allright
You'll wake tomorrow morning
You'll probably be in Memphis or somewhere
And they won't know one thing about her
Those lips, those eyes, that hair

Don't Think About Her When You're Trying to Drive
(Hiatt/Keltner/Lowe/Cooder)

Got Another One Out



          I killed my cigarette and got another one out and went through all the slow futile face-saving motions of lighting it, getting rid of the match, blowing smoke off to one side, inhaling deeply as though that scrubby little office was a hilltop overlooking the bouncing ocean - all the tired cliched mannerisms of my trade.
