lyrics
I’d drive that thing to California
But I wouldn’t drive it back
I know a thing or two about used cars
But I don’t know a thing about that
What’s it like to have a woman
What’s it like to have a man
What’s it like to feel something
Or to know that you can
So I’ll drive that thing to California
I’m gonna drive and never look back
Or I could drive to Carolina
If I could figure out where that’s at
Would you miss my guitar if I didn’t play it
Or my truck if it didn’t drive
Do you miss the ones who made it
Would you miss my breath if I weren’t alive
But I wouldn’t drive it back
I know a thing or two about used cars
But I don’t know a thing about that
What’s it like to have a woman
What’s it like to have a man
What’s it like to feel something
Or to know that you can
So I’ll drive that thing to California
I’m gonna drive and never look back
Or I could drive to Carolina
If I could figure out where that’s at
Would you miss my guitar if I didn’t play it
Or my truck if it didn’t drive
Do you miss the ones who made it
Would you miss my breath if I weren’t alive

Favorite track is a toss up between Wristwatch, Rip Torn, and the one I picked. Anyway I love the songwriting on this record!

Perfect quiet lo-fi album that reminds me of all the seasons and spending them in a small suburban house with old wooden floors.
