In September
The Flying Carpet
saddled up and was rarin' to go to Texas
on a whirlwind trip
The Flying Carpet
saddled up and was rarin' to go to Texas
on a whirlwind trip
On the road, the wrecked billboards advertised blue sky
in the spaces between rotted boards and shredded ads
“Icy bridge” signs proclaimed unseasonable disaster
In Amarillo at the Coyote Bluff Cafe
in the spaces between rotted boards and shredded ads
“Icy bridge” signs proclaimed unseasonable disaster
In Amarillo at the Coyote Bluff Cafe
translucent pack horses hauled neon beer signs
After a Texas shaped waffle for breakfast (!)
on the way to Dallas
“4,000 Cowboy Hats
20 miles ahead”
At the Turquoise Coffee Shop at Chillicothe
Cowboy and cowgirl silhouettes
on the way to Dallas
“4,000 Cowboy Hats
20 miles ahead”
At the Turquoise Coffee Shop at Chillicothe
Cowboy and cowgirl silhouettes
sun-blasted plants
black thumbs
black thumbs
a sense of abandonment
We drove
"Till the wheels fall off and burn”
No words needed
So glad I
“waltzed across Texas with you”
Thanks to my sidekick, Zachariah
