lyrics

There's a boy by a bridge with a beer in a sack
He's sleepin' by the tracks
He laughs to himself
He laughs and laughs

He was raised in dirt
born straight white trash
With a deadbeat dad
His mama went mad
When the screen door slammed
He never looked back
Enough for the bus stashed in his hat

He's got a black denim jacket
with a black flag patch
His front tooth cracked
and scars on his face like rivers on a map

He's got a kitchen tattoo of a girl's name
He knows whereever she's gone she got one the same

In the summer she could be in the city by the lake
In the wintertime in the city by the bay
In the fall or spring she could be between
The end of east bay and new orleans
She's a 1-4-5 and every note between

He awoke from a dream of snow
and a memory of Idaho
He rubbed his eyes,
cleared his throat,
grabbed his shit
And he hit the road

His thumb held out
Bag on his back
Wind blew his hat
His boot heels flapped
Sweaty hands dried on his pants
Sun shinin' on his black flag patch
Sun shinin' on his black flag patch

Gar Clemens' delightful Americana-influenced-folk debut full-length may be simple, sleepy and comforting, but it is also thematically captivating, and all too capable of stirring up the kind of nagging life sentiments usually reserved for when your head hits the pillow.
