DEAD ENGINE There ain't nothing wrong with that car and it's almost five, dinner's waiting so lady, do you have to go far? cause I don't know how to get it to start (this is one of them foreign cars) refr. Dead engine Will you please come alive? This man wants to go, wants to get to his wife Well, he looks under the hood of my car mumbling, scratching his grey haired head So mister, can you take it apart? – I ask cause, you see, I do have to go far Refr. Dead engine Will you please come alive? This man wants to go, wants to get back to his wife Now this man's on his back underneath my ol' car and I tell 'm; Gotta make it to Kansas today – He says; Wow, lady! Do you know where you are? You better take the last bus if you're smart Refr. Dead engine Will you please come alive? This man wants to go, wants to get back to his wife Now I'm getting my bags from the trunk of my car as I hear that engine roar and the old man say I got it, this thing! This car's got a heart If you don't buckle up, it won't start You gotta be safe, if you want it to drive Refr. Dead engine Will you please come alive? This man wants to go, wants to get to his wife
2.	Bed On The Back Seat 02:26	lyrics	buy track
BED ON THE BACKSEAT I took another nameless exit in another timeless night Rolled my wheels, my tired eyes off some highway in Ohio and my cash was running low Refr. Been sleeping in my car Made my bed on the backseat Got my legs folded up I could smell my sweaty feet All I wanted, was to lay down Lay low, sneak in tonight Park this car way outta sight on a campground in Ohio Pull in late, no-one to know Refr. Been sleeping in my car Made my bed on the backseat Got my legs folded up I could smell my sweaty feet Next morning, when I woke up Stiff and cold, I couldn't pay I'd start her up, be on my way along some highway in Ohio Back on track, back on the road Refr.
3.	Windy Road 04:14	lyrics	buy track
WINDY ROAD Did you know, he said This road that we are on is one of the toughest in California, and Did you know, he said Big Foot is a friend of mine He’s been here all along Would you like to meet him tonight - just follow the Refr. Windy windy road Moonless mountain night If you want to serve me right Bring me down tonight Did you know, he said These mountains we’re in they get higher and higher They can take you by surprise and did you know, he said that aliens are here been landing all this time Would you like to join them tonight Refr. Did you know, I said This girl behind the wheel crashed one time already So you better hold on tight and did you know, I said This girl sure wants to see it all She’s come this far and she’d love to fly tonight Refr. Windy windy road Moonless mountain night If you dare to serve me right Try and bring us down tonight

about

Live opnames van drie roadsongs geschreven tijdens een tour door de VS maart/april 2002. Gebaseerd op wat ik onderweg meemaakte. Er zijn er wel meer, maar daar zijn vooralsnog geen opnames van.

Dit optreden vond plaats later in datzelfde jaar 2002, met Rudy Hofman op gitaar. Het kraakt allemaal nogal maar klinkt wel echt leuk genoeg om te openbaren.
En wie weet neem ik de andere roadsongs nog wel es op met ukelele.

Album art: tekening gemaakt in San Francisco door iemand die me daar heeft zien optreden.
