Interesting lyric

[NoSleepTill]

some one made me a mix tape befor i headed out around New Zealand a few years back with this Seals & Croft song funked up and covered by King Curtis..


See the man on the black top highway movin' past a no man's land.
All alone on the black top highway. Movin' just as fast as he can,

ridin' thumb

Left his home down in Macon, Georgia. Left the shade of an old oak tree.
Got his dreams in his left front pocket. Got his eye squinted towards the sea,

ridin' thumb

He don't care where the road goes, just as long as he gets his ride. And he don't care 'bout food and water.
He just lets his conscience be his guide,

ridin' thumb,

Left his sister and his mama cryin', beggin' him not to leave that day.
Said he'd write but they knew he was a-lyin'. Got no razor, got no pay,

ridin' thumb.

if your into old funk and like a bit of hitching you gotta check it out!

[NoSleepTill]

and another road related tune,this one by Brendan Perry formaly of the mighty Dead can Dance...


Woke up this morning
Set off down the road
Left behind me all those years
Searching for a common soul
I've been looking for a thousand
And one distractions
To empty my mind
Of thoughts of loneliness
I've been looking for someone
To take away my frustrations
But all I find is a sea of emptiness

Death will be my bride

Three hours from sundown
I'm still on the road
With those voices in my head
Ringing down the years
For the wind whispers my name
And the leaves they lend a helping hand
If I don't reach you by this time tomorrow
I'll be stone cold dead in the ground

Death will be my bride[/i]
