ARTIST'S NOTES:
Playing the Main Entrance in Prairie du Chien. Longing for Troy MT which is slipping away. Callin' em like I see em as the drinks slowly kick in. April 2004.
lyrics
Two bottle blonds
one horsehoe bar
Pabst Blue Ribbon shines
like the evening star
parallel universe
parallel fifths
bottles of Jack
stacked through Doppler shifts
train whistle fading on a Mississippi track
he don't know you from Adam
but he'll watch your back
Guy next to me's German
he don't remember much
like that translucent smile
with that Velcro touch
stalactites stalagmites
teeth and dental floss
cool spring rains fall
from Prairie to LaCrosse
open bag of Cheetos
generic potato chips
houseboats being rented
from old unrented slips
Showers to the north
the weatherman always says
hard to tell at times
though I feel their wicked ways
Twisters spun last Tuesday night
I missed it all of course
driving down the freeway
without pride or remorse
river rats float downstream
past cypress trees and bars
airlines post last minute fares
can't stop these balding tires
Memphis calls from way downstream
St. Paul echoes blandly
I'm somewhere halfway between
not feeling too half badly
the Northwest calls
the Midwest sighs
the south knows so much more
these rivers flow in such a way
around this molten core
two bottle blonds, one horseshoe bar
Pabst Blue Ribbon shines
like the evening star
