Pride of Cucamonga - Studio Acoustic Demo

Lyrics

Out on the edge of an empty highway
 Howling at the blood on the moon
 Big diesel Mack truck rolling down my way
 I can't hit that border too soon
 Running hard out of Muskrat Flats
 It was sixty days or double life
 Hail on my back like a shotgun blast
 High wind chimes in the night
 Oh oh, the pride of Cucamonga
 Oh oh, bitter olives in the sun
 Oh oh, I had me some lovin'
 And I done some time
 Since I came down from Oregon
 There's a lesson or two I've learned
 By standing in the road alone
 Standing watching the fires burn
 The northern sky it stinks with greed
 You could smell it for miles around
 The good ole boys in the Greystone Hotel
 Sitting doing that git on down
 Oh oh, the pride of Cucamonga
 Oh oh, silver apples in the sun
 Oh oh, I had me some lovin'
 And I done some time
 I see your silver shining town
 But I know I can't go there
 Your streets run deep with poisoned wine
 Your doorways crawl with fear
 So I think I'll drift for ol' where it's at
 Where the weed grows green and fine
 And wrap myself around a bush of that bright
 Whoa, on Oaxaca vine
 Yes, it's me, I'm the pride of Cucamonga
 I can see golden forests in the sun
 Oh oh, I had me some lovin'
 And I done some time
 And I done some time
 And I done some time
