Running down old country roads
Driving down old highways
Lost in the valley where the sunlight shines
Deep in the quarry where the old men sigh
I woulda been, Shoulda been, Coulda been
Now I’m just another man man living off nickels and dimes
Trying to get by with the clothes on my back
Living for the moment, but dreaming of the highway
I woulda been, Shoulda been, Coulda been
Now I’m just a nothing-man living off borrowed time

Pack of Thirty

Listen to the words that the old man cried,
Watching as the waves crash on the sand
The old move on as the young get strong, but we all end up in the same place anyways
All I need is your love honey or a pack of 30 going down my throat
I’ve been here and there and anywhere
Ever since you left I’ve been wandering around, looking for somewhere to go
I’d left home just a week before- I had a chance to say goodbye, but I did not take it, but I did not take it
When I was a little boy, I had a fire in my heart
When I see you now I feel it burn in me again
The fire in my heart- it burns slow
All I need is your love honey or a pack of 30 going down my throat
I’ve been here and there and anywhere
Ever since you left I’ve been wandering around, looking for somewhere to go
I’d left home just a week before- I had a chance to say goodbye, but I did not take it, but I did not take it

Empty Beer Bottle

Maybe one day we can grab a cold one and watch the sun go out
Shadows crawl across the mesa, leaving without a sound
It's been a long time since you ran out
but I’m just glad to have you back around
Maybe one day we can grab a cold one and talk about how it went down
The spirits gather in the evening, feel them all around
They say the valley’s one big burial ground
Grab a beer and tell me how it went down

Way out yonder in a sad-luck town
There was a man, standing out alone
He was a-wandering, and a-pondering
There was a man, standing out alone
There was a time where he cried for home, but no one answered
So he wandered the streets, silent in the night, only to find nothing
Way out yonder in a sad-luck town
There was a man, standing out alone
He was a-wandering, and a-pondering
There was a man, standing out alone
chasing his shots one by one, tracing the time day by day
Whistling and shooting, running and gunning, taking it to the head
Way out yonder in a sad-luck town
There was a man, standing out alone
He was a-wandering, and a-pondering
There was a man, standing out alone
There was a place where he called home, but now no one answers
So he wrestled with his pain, silent in the night, only to find nothing
only to find nothing...
only to find nothing...

VTR Records recommends:
Reighnbeau's music is a perfect sonic analogue for the mystery and contradiction of the New Mexican desert and its dwellers. Check Water & RIBS off Reighnbeau and BLOOD & HARMONY on FRIENDS.

Albuquerque's best band strikes again; nothing I've heard in a long time connects such disparate genres to make something so *NEW*. It's a mind-bending album. Check We Came In and In Form to start!
