Track 01. Keep On Rolling (Stranger Planet Blues)

Описание: [Intro]
Mick-style half-spoken snarl
Well I been askin’ every crossroad,
“Did I walk just to stop, or stop so I could walk again?”
Boot-heels answer back: keep rollin’, keep rollin’…

Verse 1
Smoke and gold up in the evening sky,
Sun bleeds out and the highway sighs.
I’m half-buried in a motel sheet,
Heart gone cold but it still finds a beat.

Pre-Chorus
Town is dead, cats and rats hold their breath,
I feel my pulse turn to concrete in my chest— oh-yeah!

Chorus
Stranger planet, all alone,
Lose the map but I’m still movin’ on.
Footprints fade in the hour-glass sand,
But baby I won’t fade, no I won’t fade,
Can’t erase a rock-and-roll man!


Verse 2
Thought I had a picture in a tattered guide,
But the lines ran wild like the delta tide.
Everything’s foreign, everything’s raw,
Horizon keeps laughing like an outlaw draw.

Pre-Chorus
Dead-beat desert, bite of the sun,
Still I’m huntin’ that miracle run— c’mon!

Chorus (repeat)
Bridge — (slow-burn, gospel B-vox “ah-ah”)
I drop my load by a midnight fire,
Let the north-wind stroke my busted wire.
If the stars don’t talk, if the moon don’t sing,
I’ll tune my bones till the metal rings.


Verse 3
Seasons spin like a worn-out wheel,
Flowers dance and the butterflies steal.
I fill my lungs with the springtime dust,
Kick the road again—baby, wander or bust!

Final Chorus
Stranger planet, stage so wide,
Lose my way but I keep my stride.
Footprints wash in the shifting sand,
But I won’t fade, no I won’t fade—
’Cause the song keeps carvin’ my brand!
