i'm alway here and there - not really going anywhere - just rock-n-rollin' on the wheels - sometimes i get to ride the steel - i got a motor in my brain - and it keeps driving me farther down the road - it's hard to keep it straight - sometimes i can't relate - it's from always living on the outside - sometimes i've had to just swallow my pride but - i got a hotrod in my brain - and it keeps driving me farther down the road - i've had to work those jobs - and get traeted like a dog - but i'll keep my dignity - by trying to do what's right for me because - the gears have shifted in my brain - and they keep driving me - farther down the road...

in my hotel room - i got a single - i'll do what i want there - watch the weather channel and smoke myself silly because i have the night off - in some other cities i'll sleep with the light off and let the television radiation eyelids close slowly - i think it's funny that you think you know me - i like my showers - i dont mind the hours - to live like a rockstar i'll do what i can - i'll live like a rockstar if thats what i am - order a pizza and clean up the front seat , bring in my guitar to write a song , stay clear of the locals and keep an eye out for cool folks, or go to the waffle house and check out the pawn shops - now someone is coming up here to see me - my friend jimmy says that i must really be crazy - watch a little cable and try to stay sober and live like a rockstar - check out when it's over

heart like a ghost - body of a haunted house - skeletons and cobwebs are all that remain - creeky old stairs - the tar roof is leaking - paint is all peeling and the foundation is cracked.... (i really can't remember the rest and i can't find the notebook the lyrics are in , but you get the idea...)

well i might call you drunk at 3am just to say i'm all alone, but i quit drinking years ago and they just cut off my phone - now i've hit bottom, so many times that i call this place my home , but this time i think i've lost my mind and my head is turned to stone.... i don't sleep right most every night, and some nights not at all. thats why i'm up before the sun and thought that i would call. i was dreaming about the friends i missed, and some of them were dead - as i awaken pieces break, embedded in my head... i smoke myself to sleep again and sometimes it takes hours, or find a 24-hour restaurant,or take a nice hot shower...so come and see me if you can find me in this garbage and we'll both hold tight, turn out the lights, and we might sleep well again....

about

originally released on cd july 2004 with different album art (i can't find the really cool photo of me in front of a florida waffle house with palm trees that ed wilcox took, so i'm using this photo of my trusty ol' 1989 chevy pick-up "sassy")
this version also contains one extra track not on the original e.p. "calling st. cecelia" , as well as a live version of "room 114" recorded in hampton virginia on the "mike bell and..." tour
