lyrics

Well, I got my woman and we’re headed North
Gonna cross the border and escape the war
Well, it ain’t desertin' if you didn’t enlist
Feet are hurtin’, but I ain’t raisin’ no fists

I don’t know where the road may go
but I know it’s gonna be sure damn cold
Hey, I don’t know where the road may go
but I got my baby and a nice warm coat

Yeah we’ll gather some sticks and we’ll make some heat
Boil the water, make love so sweet
Yeah, me and my baby never been so free
Don’t even wanna know what’s on TV

Sky so big, it’ll make you seasick
Never be lost, long as we can see it
Sky so big, it’ll make you seasick
Never be lost, long as we can see it

Oh, and I got the notion that I should write home
So I picked up the pen and this what I wrote
Dear Mom, Dear Sister, oh you know, I miss you dear so
Won’t you come and meet me here
I got a feelin’ it’s gonna be a good year

Woah, this year
Ooh, this year

Well, they packed up their bags when they got the word
Hit the road at the first sign of dirt
Snow was meltin’ when they headed my way
Got to me in the middle of May

Words can’t say what it meant to me
When I saw em’ coming with the whole family
Yeah, Pop and the Boys and the Little One, too
I smiled real big, cause that’s when I knew

Woah, this year
Ooh, this year

Woah, this year
Ooh, this year

about

Josie Martin Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My music exists to me as a source of comfort in the face of life's mysterious unfolding.

It doesn't claim to be an answer, nor is it a home for those who seek to quell the absurdity of wondering about what can never be known.

It is emotion.
It is satire.
It is art.
It is infinite.
It is.
As I wish to be.
