(From the upcoming album Southwest Storytime)

lyrics

* * *
if I hear one more song bout goin down to the river
I think I’m gonna lose my mind
my soul's just fine I don’t need no redemption
gonna leave you sodden fools behind

I’m goin southwest
as south and west as one can go
no matter how you go about it, you always end up in San Diego

I’ve broken down in every town from Deming to Bemidji
ate at every Dairy Queen in between
but my internal compass only points in one direction
that’s North 32.75, West 117

I’m going southwest
s - o - u - p - h - w - e - s - t
as long as you got moxie, you can ride along with me

well I bought beef jerky in Albuquerque
frightened by a mouse way up in Taos
saw Evan Longoria playing ball in Peoria
ate tamales in Nogales
clocked a puma outta Yuma
learned some physics at Cal State Zzyzx
mass hysteria in Hesperia
ate a burrito in Escondido
had an enchilada in Ensenada
got lumbago in Borrego
climbing out a winnebago
saw an iguana in Tijuana
on the way to San Diego

if I hear one more word bout goin down to the river
I think I’m gonna lose my mind
my soul don’t need cleansin I don’t need redemption
gonna leave you sorry fools behind

goin southwest ...
s - o - u - p - h - w - e - s - t
as long as you got moxie you can ride along with me
as long as you got mota you can ride along with me
as long as you got existential dread ... you can ride along with me

GMacGuffin San Diego, California

I write songs about bad people in unfortunate circumstances, then sing and play them standing up (the songs, not the people).

Sometimes I record them so I can play drums and such.
