about

After we were mugged at gunpoint unloading our car in front of our house after a gig, everything I did for the next several years was about moving from Oakland to a peaceful rural setting. I lived six months without chris in Ignacio, hear Durango Colorado. I still miss that town with an ache. We spent six months in Sonora, California; we bought acreage in the Slocan Valley in British Columbia. Looks like we're gonna end up in Siskiyou County, California, within an hour of Ashland, Oregon, a town that makes me feel almost as good as Durango did. Jump that Train was a way of venting! I wrote it in Durango.

lyrics

I had me a lover in Tucson
Had a tattoo of a rattlesnake
His eyes were dark and cool
His house made out of sweet red clay

I stayed with a Bayou Hougan
He give me the cher delight
He taught me to ride the cayman
Whenever the water would rise

And Mama, how the highway hums
in the back of my brain!
One of these blackout nights
I'm gonna jump that train.

I've got an ache I live with
I got an itch I can't scratch
I'm neither here nor there
I can't keep to one place on the map

I stole a lover from the north of Ireland
Eyes green like a summer sea
He sets my house afire
He's the sugar in my bitter, black tea

My head is a live transistor
I'm getting a frequency
I'm charting a destination
Wide open space calling for me
