The Driving Blues #2

from Roger Manning (RM3) by Roger Manning

lyrics

bullshit come at me like a tidal wave
i could lay down and drown
or jump on top and surf away

riding them troubles like a wave to the next chapter
can't see nothing but grey
but the sun is up there somewhere
motion feels good
find the freak i always wanted to be
driving without headlights through texas moonlight

riding them troubles like a wave
i do love this road
and the feeling i live for

all night talking romance with alice
one word followed another - stampede
some nights
are too cool for sleep
listening to julianna, midnight across alabama
"the lights" in spanish moss rest-stop
this just might be "the best time of my life"

i sure get a lot from music and certain people i know
i do love this road and the feeling i live for

beauty is so sexy
i want someone who blows me away - the feeling i live for
someone who can look at me like that
that's who i want
sit in some cafe and trade stories
walk each other off the plank into a sea of honesty
she kills me and she knows it
the ultimate attention is to be understood

ride that feeling like a wave
i do love this road...

i want someone who blows me away
but it's timing as much as anything
musical chairs, the one sitting there
when the music breaks is it
driving with out headlights through desert moonlight
one dream follows another - stampede
i sure get a lot from certain people i meet

it'll all come at you like a tidal wave
you can either lay down and drown
or jump on top and surf away

ride them troubles like a wave
i do love this road and the feeling i live for

Roger Manning New York, New York

The first Roger Manning album was released by California punk recording label SST (Black Flag, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.). I toured the US and occasionally bits of Europe for over 10 years performing wordy-solo-rock accompanied by bass-heavy amplified 'acoustic' guitar. There's been a bit of re-emergence since 2007 and the album release in December 2014. ... more
