Been runnin’ these 18 19 a day It’s been so long since I’ve been away Gotta stop in Texas for a drop off at the coast Then I’ll keep these wheels a turnin To what I love and miss the most I’m going back to Galveston Then I’m headed home Ridin like an outlaw on a breeze I’m going back to Galveston On this highway all alone Then I’m going back to Tennessee Countin the days and the lines on the road* With each one behind me I’m closer to home It helps me to hold the wheel when I think of holdin’ you The beat of the concrete lines With all my heart I’ll make it through I’m going back to Galveston Then I’m headed home Ridin like an outlaw on a breeze I’m going back to Galveston On this highway all alone Then I’m going back to Tennessee Those big Texas stars help me find my way Gotta get through the taillights I’m almost there just one more day I’m going back to Galveston Then I’m headed home Ridin like an outlaw on a breeze I’m going back to Galveston On this highway all alone One more ride and then I’m through Then I’m comin’ back to you I’ll be comin’ home to Tennessee

Sixteen hours and the road is blurred Roll down 35 without a word AC went out cross the railroad track Texas heat with the law on my back Forget me nots on the radio Rolling down south head to Mexico Left my whole life and all that I know 95 miles until Laredo No, I don’t regret the wrong I done Righted that wrong with granddaddy’s gun Laid low my wife and her lover too Burned away rage with a barrel plume Forget me nots on the radio Rolling down south head to Mexico Left my whole life and all that I know 65 miles until Laredo The lawman closes my prospects bleak Baring down bead of sweat on my cheek Ain’t gon’ make it married to this ride Come nighttime find a place I can hide Forget me nots on the radio Rolling down south head to Mexico Left my whole life and all that I know 35 miles until Laredo Nighttime came and I ran for my life Then came justice for him and my wife Shots rang out they got caught in my back Got so close now I’m fading to black Forget me nots on the radio Rolling down south was the way to go Smoked my wife ain’t got nothin to show Ain’t gonna make it to Laredo

Serenade in the summer, sitting on mountain of time Evergreens, making scenes they gonna blow my mind Hard to look in the mirror, scruffy and mixer of lime Whisper, kiss will go a long way, what can I find - this time? Summer love and a walk down the river Sudden love and it tastes so fine Set a sail for Madagascar with a lover and some cases of wine Basket case on most days, can someone show me the light? Pillow dreams, gonna sleep in no one to fight Scream and clap through the windows, heroes show us the way When it’s all too much, take a trip to far away - so today Summer love and a walk down the river Sudden love and it tastes so fine Set a sail for Madagascar with a lover and some cases of wine Summer dreams and a basket of roses Sudden love in the warm sunshine Set a sail for Madagascar, dreams flowing hard my mind Summertime, Dreams

Take your poison and pen away Have some mercy on me you let your sweet communion wine Go sour again 
tastes like bitter venom to me In this high-horse town All you ever wanted burning down the holy land Won’t you come on down These ghosts can still be haunted Breaking down this chain’s command Somewhere out on the horizons red The sun’s last blaze gone to die But you just wanna coil up like a copperhead Never let no sleeping dog lie In this high-horse town All you ever wanted burning down the holy land Won’t you come on down These ghosts can still be haunted Breaking down this chain’s command Oh, wait til you wake up Oh, wait til you see Oh, wait til you figure out You’re the one that’s counting on me In this high-horse town All you ever wanted burning down the holy land Won’t you come on down These ghosts can still be haunted Breaking down this chain’s command

v1: Alaska, why you teasing me? I'd sure love to go I'd have been there already, But there's so much snow And so much sunlight This time of year You're at the top of my list So I won't shed a tear ch: For the other 49 Do I need to be reminded Of this beautiful world I was born into 4,245 miles Mayberry to Anchorage The only one missing is you v2: I know you've got airports But I think I might drive Through the midwest, through Canada That's how I'll arrive It gets a little colder as I drive north and I wonder if you celebrate July 4th ch: Like the other 49 I don't need to be reminded Of this beautiful world I was born into 4,245 miles Mayberry to Anchorage The only one missing is you br: Even though you're about the size of Winston You've got 10 times the number of moose, and then some v3: Alaska, why you teasing me? Thought you were my friend It's a big sky country But I've already been ch: To the other 49 I don't need to be reminded Of this beautiful world I was born into 4,245 miles Mayberry to Anchorage The only one missing is you

Lift me up Bring us out of this mess And I promise that I’ll always be good Empty streets and empty seats Bars and restaurants Roads are clear, silence falls On the bleeding hearts Life’s about the journey anyways Even sitting still Life’s about the journey anyways Can’t be too far gone Dangled hope, console, cope Weather storm Change is gone, on its way Riding different boats People shouting with their fingertips Calling out the lies Pointing fingers like they know the tricks From every side Lift me up Bring us out of this mess And I promise that I’ll always be good

about

This week’s assignment comes from Artie, bunkered down up in Brooklyn:

“How about since we’re all isolating writing a road song or a song with a town or city in the title like say “Galveston”?”
