Meet me on Maple Road
Fall back into previous assumed roles
I was Morrissey or Ramone
You were always Kim in L.A Confidential
Well it’s easy to laugh about
In public at least
And it’s simple to avoid the question
Just start brushing your teeth
It’s simple to smile about it
Walking down busy streets
But behind closed doors
I know that you become the beast
The Beast like me
Meet me on Maple Road
And scatter my ashes in the pond where the litter grows
Build theme parks over my soul
Cos you don’t need a soul where I am gonna go
And you don’t need a soul where the litter grows
Soulful guitar interplay form the heart of this lovely Americana collaboration from Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2018
