I like the first line
Well it’s almost Felinghetti like.
Hey there urban cowboy
Will you buy this girl a drink?
Take me to the well Painted Desert
On route 66
It feels like
It feels like
If feel like
it came out of
a town, in southern Arizona.
Can you give us a melodic feel for that kind of life?
For what life was like before the trucks and the stench of the Internet
Before the illegals, coyotes from the south
Let us praise
The deep south of the Rio Grande
Is this tubular slide guitar?
Or, maybe is it just Clint Eastwood chewing Peyote.
Hallucinations
Open sky
Clouds in fast forward.
Reverse pedal steel guitar, guitar.
