Lonesome Roads (​(​forCarla​)​)

from Creature ov the Crossroads by Dusty Santamaria

/

about

Heavily influenced by a song of the same name written by one of our musical heroes, Carla Bozulich. The lyrics are suited to both the personal and the collective.

lyrics

Silence roars
Down an old dirt road
Skeleton trees all talk to me

Grandpa’s pistol
Shoots holes in my memory
Grandma please sing for me

Two wolves inside me
Have gone to war
Which one wins
The one I feed

Fear not tomorrow
Weave a story, plant a seed
Write tomorrow’s laughter
With today’s catastrophe

Lonesome roads
Lay down your headstrong
Lay down the fool card
Lay down with me

Lonesome roads
Ain’t I your sweetheart?
Ain’t I a friend?
I’m just as broken as you must be

Language twisting
To speak it is to destroy it
All the dreamers must be soldiers now

Fear not tomorrow
Free will equals destiny
Tomorrow ain’t nuthin but an open road

Lonesome roads
Lay down your headstrong
Lay down the fool card
Lay down with me

Lonesome roads
Ain’t I your sweetheart?
Ain’t I a friend?
I’m just as broken as you must be

(( D. Santamaria ))
