Get me to the station by a quarter to one
All of my sweet luck is at the end of a run
Oh yeah
Get me the station by a quarter to two
This town’s like a stripper with a broken shoe
Either she’s getting fatter or the veils have shrunk
And anyone staying is blind or drunk
A quarter to three, a quarter to three
You’ve got my blessing on your family tree
And if they stop me at the border by a quarter to four
You know a clean pair of shoes’ll get you through any door
Get me to the station by a quarter to five
A man with velocity’s a man alive
Alimony, alimony’s what it’s about
You get to get in free, you’ve got to pay to get out
I’m gonna load my jacket on the luggage rack
Dust my shoes, and kiss my back
In seat two six on car number seven
Gonna point my last cigar to heaven
Seven o’clock, seven o’clock
Things ‘round here are beginning to rock
I’ve got my ticket and it’s time to fold
These U.S. dollars into my bedroll
Get me to the station by a quarter to eight
Cut the conversation, I don’t wanna be late
Got my destination, I’ve been happy to wait
For too long
Too long
Too long.
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
I’m a long time fan of Tex, the Beasts and Aussie-alt rock .. and recently been over indulging in the back catalogues of SPJ and Ian Rilen. Why mention that? This record is inspiring and an aural pleasure that grows each listen. Despite the talent, crafted musicianship and acknowledged influences on this record, they still deliver the same raw emotion, telling observations and Lo-Fi attitude we love Tex and his compatriots for.. fave tracks are Pay the Devils Due and Danger Has Been Kind trumblesinegypt
