Spoken:
First time I saw you, nursin’ a black eye
And leanin’ on my car, askin’ me for a ride
It was ‘round about dusk, and I said hop on in
I never asked where you were headed, or where you’d been
Later that evenin’, after a couple beers
And after confrontin’ your demons, and facin’ your fears
We moved in together, with no second thoughts
And now a month or two later, look at the trouble we bought
Sung:
Well, I hear the landlord beatin’ on the door
Grab your things, you know it’s time to go
Where we end up, it don’t matter any more
It could be Louisiana or New Mexico
Spoken:
Doin’ time in Houston, southeast of downtown
You know, on Telephone Road they only beat you down
That Space City Plan ain’t worth a damn when you’re poor
Think it’s time we find a place we ain’t been before
Well, just spin the globe and tell me where you think we outta go
North or south, east or west, it’s all the same, you know
As long as you don’t tell me we’re goin’ to Oklahoma
‘Cause I’d rather spend eternity drugged up, and in a coma
Sung:
Well, I hear the landlord beatin’ on the door
Grab your things, you know it’s time to go
Where we end up, it don’t matter any more
It could be Louisiana or New Mexico
Spoken:
I-10 outta Space City runs both east and west
And so do Amtrak and Greyhound, who knows which is best?
All I know is, it’s time we was hittin’ the road
We can’t give them bad guys no time to reload
Sung:
Well, I hear the landlord beatin’ on the door
Grab your things, you know it’s time to go
Where we end up, it don’t matter any more
It could be Louisiana or New Mexico
Well, I hear the landlord beatin’ on the door
Grab your things, you know it’s time to go
Where we end up, it don’t matter any more
It could be Louisiana or New Mexico
Blues de Space City
Recitado:
La primera vez que te vi, cuidando un ojo morado
Apoyándote en mi coche, pidiéndome que te llevara
Era alrededor del anochecer, y dije que te subieses
Nunca pregunté a dónde te dirigías, o dónde habías estado
Más tarde esa noche, después de un par de cervezas
Confrontando a tus demonios y enfrentando tus miedos
Empezamos a vivir juntos, sin pensarlo dos veces
Ahora, un mes o dos después, mira los problemas que compramos
Cantado:
Bueno, escucho al propietario golpeando la puerta
Agarra tus cosas, sabes que es hora de irse
Donde terminaremos, ya no importa
Podría ser Luisiana o Nuevo México
Recitado:
Pasando tiempo en Houston, al sureste del centro
En Telephone Road solo te golpean para abajo
El Plan de la Ciudad Espacial no vale nada cuando eres pobre
Pienso que es hora de encontrar un lugar donde no hayamos estado antes
Gira el globo terráqueo y dime, a dónde crees que nos deberíamos ir
Norte o sur, este u oeste, todo es lo mismo, ya sabes
Mientras no me digas que iremos a Oklahoma
Porque preferiría pasar la eternidad drogada y en coma
Cantado:
Bueno, escucho al propietario golpeando la puerta
Agarra tus cosas, sabes que es hora de irse
Donde terminaremos, ya no importa
Podría ser Luisiana o Nuevo México
Recitado:
La autopista I-10 de Space City corre tanto al este como al oeste
Y también Amtrak y Greyhound, ¿quién sabe cuál es el mejor?
Yo solo sé es que ya es hora de que salgamos a la carretera
No podemos darles tiempo a los malos para recargar
Cantado:
Bueno, escucho al propietario golpeando la puerta
Agarra tus cosas, sabes que es hora de irse
Donde terminaremos, ya no importa
Podría ser Luisiana o Nuevo México
Bueno, escucho al propietario golpeando la puerta
Agarra tus cosas, sabes que es hora de irse
Donde terminaremos, ya no importa
Podría ser Luisiana o Nuevo México

Born in Arizona, Red Roberts presents a vintage, old-school sound with a fresh and very personal
production.
While talking with his longtime friend, John Duer, it was decided that Red would record some of John's tunes, using John's band (in Toledo, Spain). Covid travel restrictions required Red to do his recording in the US, while the rest recorded in Spain. Thanks, technology!...more
