FRI-01 The Drifter's Escape
Posted: June 8th, 2010, 2:36 pm
I'd like to run The Drifter's Escape on Friday. Anyone interested?
I worked every place the old I-5 goes
and I traveled as freight all over that road
Day after day in the long endless rows
and your valley was hot and your mountains was cold
Down through the generations my family made rounds
for to draw the sweet fruit out the dark valley ground
We made honey so bitter, no one could eat
but always we fed on what you gave us to feed
Now that I'm leavin, I'm weary as hell
The confusion I'm feelin, ain't no dance can tell
My beautiful sisters I'm wishin them well
though they can no longer taste and no longer smell
All that I'm needin is a valley yet green
Where the water still flows and the flowers are clean
and on the highways and the trains I see rivers of men
I know they seek the same valley, so I'm followin them
