about

well well well if it isn't another version of this song

we recorded this because we had extra time when we were recording the primary tracks for Watershed, so we fired up the tape machine and put a capo on the guitar and made this.

lyrics

My check engine light was on
When I reached the rio grande
We hadn’t been gone long
But I wished I had a van
I sure wished I had a van

My little Pontiac gets me
Where I need to go
From point a to point b
Like New York to El Paso
New York to El Paso

We left north Caroline
Thinking we were in the clear
But that little orange light
followed us down here
It followed us down here

We saw New Orleans
And We saw the end of the world
But out in Joshua tree
It was all instagram girls

Drove from coast to coast
Saw our country critically
Seeking as do most
Some authenticity
A little authenticity
