I was working on 17 when you told me you had to leave
Moving westward on the Arizona trail
You said good old boy don't you even worry
I'll see you in the desert-land soon.
Now he's gone, so young.
Now he's gone, so young.
Life was passing by so fast we didn't have a chance to speak
Growing up miles apart has its own rewards
But I was a fool, lost my cool in sin and misery.
A good word from ya brother was all I ever needed
Now he's gone so young.
Now he's gone so young.
I heard the news on a Tuesday, man what a shock on my colored screen
I didn't think I had to find out this way
I knew you would tell me brother don't you even worry.
I'll see you in the desert-land soon.
Now he's gone, so young.

Moving Onward

Asleep with four wheels humming along
Another two rear-side carrying the load
I woke up puzzled, said, man where we been.
We're moving onward to a whole other land
Hello to Kansas, Missouri to be fair
We're into a roadhouse, we played to blank stares
The faster we played, the drunker they were.
We're moving onward, to california shores
Breezy bay frisco, caught me some fog
Onto San Diego, the land of the sun.
I got off at LA bright light but no stars.
I'm moving onward, I'm moving on.
Windy Chicago, that's what I'm told.
We sang a few numbers and back on the road.
I'm wishing for peace, I know I'm alone.
We're moving onward, but I'm going home.
Dirty Old Allston, I missed you my dear.
It's been so long now I've counted the years.
But it's all been worth it just to be in your sights.
I'm done moving onward, I'm home alright.
I'm home.
