lyrics

Strung out again up in Michigan
so I don’t think I’ll stay here very long
and West Virginia feels like a long lost friend
but I don’t know if I can go back home

Well, I don’t know much about the West
But I can smell that salt air on your chest
And the pacific coast’s been in my dreams
Saying “darlin’ won’t you come and sit by me”

Spent a summer sweating in the trees
way down south in Smoky Tennessee
And the boys well they were mighty nice to me
but i don’t think they could give me what i need

Well, I don’t know much about the West
except for bronze skinned girls and Jack Kerouac
I think that big sky might help me to forget
about the weight that’s been hanging down around my neck

I even tried the foggy skies of London
The cold wind and the rain they got me down
And all the people made me blue as hell
I didn’t think too much to stick around

Well I don’t know much about the West
but I when I reach the Rockies maybe I could rest
inside a new ole life whatever I need best
Oh I know that I gotta give it a chance.

Ten Thousand Roses

Randomly found this album on bandcamp and it quickly became my most played album of the year. Such great production to go along with Dori’s songs and world weary vibrato. TRASH JAZZ
