The Singer and the Songwriter - Rest Stop Angels
Nevada and Oregon, the stateline divides
This blink of a town, good place to break down
Four dollar steak, fill up the tank
And be on your way
Graveyard shift, long haul truckers and drifters
Blow them a kiss, pocket the tips
Hide all the cash 'tween my box spring and mattress
Duffle bag ready the back of the closet
You still haven't noticed
Hear me now, rest stop angels
Somewhere over diesel rainbows
The heart knows when to say when
Think of the oil, the distance it travels
Crossing the ocean in giant steel barrels
The things that we trade, the price that we pay
To turn something crude into something of use
Bruises will fade but some things never change
My sister in Boise says I can stay
Look toward the sun with the hope of a hitchhiker's thumb
Hear me now, rest stop angels
Somewhere over diesel rainbows
The heart knows when
I'll say when, rest stop angels
Somewhere over diesel rainbows
The heart knows when to say when

Down by the side of the I-95 Nevada and Oregon, the stateline divides This blink of a town, good place to break down Four dollar steak, fill up the tank And be on your way

In between the states Of sleep and awake The sky let's down her hair in grey Tresses of rain Long steel snake Whistling train Lilac fields where someone Must
The Singer and the Songwriter - Flight Risk
You always said, "Have an escape plan In case the cabin fills with smoke." So I would practice counting rows to the exit With my eyes closed In case the plane goes
The Singer and the Songwriter - Virginia
You and me, a run-on sentence Field sparrow song says, "Go on, go on What you waiting for go on" The month of June a dandelion Take the yellow hope in your mouth
