LAST ROAD SONG - Shelton Bradshaw live from Newport Pier's Globe

Last Road Song

Sun creeps in a motel with an “M.”
Trying to ignore where the bedspread’s been.
Was it washed before I came in?
Some mysteries are better where,
dark claims and keeps them there.

Swore I’d be gone by nine.
But I never beat turnover time.
Dusty dives forgive late rises.
If I ask real nice.

I’m on fumes to Pecos.
That’s where they make those.
The ten to Tucson
Unless a wrong turn.

Fumes to Pecos.
That’s where I’ll take us.
The ten to Tucson
On the last of the road songs.

Accident lawyer signs scaring me.
More starved sharks than a bloody sea.
How do the grey goatees compete?
I’ll save my pity for more pure things.
Life’s more than fear they bring.

Motel maids knocking next door.
New day and page, old broken swore.
No love, but Love’s Truck Stop.
Driving till I drop.

I’m on fumes to Pecos.
Wherever they take us
The ten to Tucson
Without a wrong turn.

Fumes to Pecos.
Wherever luck takes us.
The ten to Tucson
I see a light on.

Fumes to Pecos.
Wherever they take us.
The ten to Tucson
Without a wrong turn

Fumes to Pecos
Wherever it take us.
The ten to Tuscon
I see a light on

Fumes to Pecos
That’s where they make those.
Ten to Tuscon
Unless a wrong turn

Fumes to Pecos
Wherever love take us
The ten to Tucson.
On the last of the road songs.
