lyrics
Blue Mesa, keep rising
Out of the, horizon another day
Best be on our way
There's an arrow, pointing that way
It's a narrow, stretch of highway stretching out
Out across the land
Well I hope, hunny that you understand
My love's like an ocean far away
Gonna wake tomorrow to another day
This desert was once the ocean floor
I want to feel your waves, lap upon my shore
Now the sun is, high and blazing
Watch the shadows, ain't it amazing how they disappear?
After all these years
The cactus wind is, softly blowing
The sand whispers, both knowing that we won't
Won't soon pass this way
We said goodbye, to yesterday
My love's like an ocean far away
Gonna wake tomorrow to another day
This desert was once the ocean floor
I want to feel your waves, lap upon my shore
Shooting stars, light the night sky
Broken hearts, wish and wonder, wonder why
We had to say goodbye.
My true love, hunny don't you cry
Born
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
Cerebral palsy curbed his ability to play guitar the conventional way, so Nagoda learned double slide, this is his debut LP.
