about

Justin - vocal, guitars, bass, comal, percussion

Song for the blue goose. She was a good ol bird.

lyrics

she was an 88 corolla with a death wish
born on an unpaved county road
rust ate up her fenders like cancer
she was sacked out and riding low
we'd been playing bar gigs in the southlands
we were washed up with no place to go
so we hung a hard left off of I-10 west
and crossed into old mexico

we had her pedal to the metal across the nueces plains
we held our breath till the sun went down
down in potosi state, we rolled in late
into some little mountain town
well, my mama always said i had no direction
and i just pointed south
as long as we've got something in the gas tank
we'll drive her till the road runs out

she was an 88 corolla with a carburetor
she ran like she had nothing to lose
passing sugar cane trucks on the switchbacks
of the trans sierra madre routes
we parked her up on a clifftop
looking over old pacifico
well, the grass grows round her fenders
she's just waiting for someplace to go
