about

Open roads, landscapes , unmeasured hours and distances leave the mind free to imagine the places that we'll arrive at sometime...or ponder the connection between those and the places we've passed through already.

lyrics

Sugarland

Top strand of barb wire & the fence posts stickin’ out of the snow
Runnin’ long side a frozen gravel prairie road
Gunmetal grey and ten below in the last light of day
A coyote stopped up in the field about a hundred yards away
Sniffs the air and slides across the borderline
Leaving just the mist that was risin’ off his back behind

I’m going to Sugarland and I’m comin’ back
I’m going to Sugarland if it’s the last thing I do
I’m going to Sugarland with you

Shut the engine down on the shoulder, checked all the tires
Only sound out there was a hum in the transmission wires
Saw an eagle turning circles in a clear blue sky
Through a rusty bullet hole in a bent metal sign
If I could make out what that eagle is tryin’ to say
I could tell you just how many more miles to go and which way

I’m going to Sugarland and I’m coming back
I’m going to Sugarland if it’s the last thing I do
I’m going to Sugarland with you

Everybody wants to get there, everybody finds their own way
Everybody’s gonna make it yeah, we’re goin’ all the way

Memories, ghosts & heat-waves rise up off the highway
Silver flash through the insulator glass playin’ tricks with your eyes
The daydream has a water tower with the name written on the side
And a town you can’t reach no matter how long you drive
If you ever should arrive maybe you’d roll straight through
There’s always some place new on the horizon waiting for you

I’m going to Sugarland And I’m coming back
I’m going to Sugarland if it’s the last thing I do
I’m going to Sugarland, I’m going to Sugarland
I’m going to Sugarland with you
