Crossroads 03:14
My eyes are salty my tears are dry but no one knows no ones asking why my tears are salty but my eyes are dry and no one cares when they see you cry CHORUS Once it was the music Once it was my life and i could take for granted that we would get it right I'm off and wandering out on my own just an old pair of boots and this dirt road to roam you were my best friend partner in crime but now that's just cobwebs we'll sweep out in time CHORUS these last cold days I know more and more that your words are small and empty as they fall on the floor i'm walking forward heart full of pain but i'll still think of you when i'm hearing those oakland trains…… CHORUS my eyes are salty my tears are dry but no one cares when they see you cry….

our show clothes hang on the shower and our mix tapes they cover the floor I get cranky and laugh after too many stops for gas I'm just driving and thinking of you the next morning is always the hardest wine bottles all over the ground there's a shotgun shell near the wreck of my heart and the whiskey always does its part CHORUS tonight we'll step on that stage and sweat for you under those lights we'll show you our dreams the secrets we've seen drunk carnies dance into the night CHORUS there's a shotgun shell near the wreck of my heart and the whiskey always does its part

Train tracks and Mountains got me dreamin' Your sweet face got me schemin' Find a space for my heart to fly Don't know how And I don't know why Moon rose red and it's time to try Moon's blood red Time to try Slow dancing to 30's blues Always brings me Back to you Snow on my face and A far off rain New moon is coming back again Don't know the words and I don't know why Don't know the words but I'm gonna try Never know where the fork will lead Never know if your heart did keep Me in yours, yours in mine So I'll just trod under this Ashen sky While the stars fall shooting (chorus) Sun beating on my shoulders down Jerk waters running me Outta town I'm heading to you and making my time Sometimes you gotta ride Dust covered boots and a rusty nail I've been down every road I need to fail this one last time may the path be right I only want to lay with you tonight While the stars fall shooting (chorus)

on the second to the longest night of the year drunk on old laughter and american beer you touch my shoulder that sunburned flesh thirsty from stars that were reaching for breath CHORUS whiskey and burn barrels under an almost full moon in a back yard in northern california singing old songs of fate love and booze fills up our nights off from working we sing in off time we sing out of tune never knowing the answer but we've got that old country tune makes sure we keep dancing CHORUS fern forms a circle our hands form a song love comes on like thunder ambers got whiskey she's passing it round dust kicks up this adventure CHORUS roachie made cake maggie sang lead sailor plucked out a sad tune [pause] but under this dusty old oakland sky we can all laugh crazy o'er those things we do CHORUS

about

Emchy from the bands Vagabondage, Rhubarb Whiskey, the Oakland Wine Drinkers Union, Jerk Church, and Feral spent a couple of years with these songs planting and watering them until they grew up and became a charming solo EP. I hope you like it.
