lyrics

I'm gonna drive this El Camino out past the edge of town
Drink a few beers, smoke cigarettes and let my sorrows drown
Then head back in to town

I'll wake up early in the morning, drag my weary ass out of bed
Wash my face and pull a comb through what's left of the hair on my head
I look like the living dead

It would take history's greatest writer
To describe the ways in which I'm broken
But the lines on my face tell the story better than Hemingway ever could
I swear to God someday I'm gonna head out where the highway curves
And drive this El Camino right off the end of the world
Right off the end of the world

A handful of pills and strong coffee will get me through the day
After work I'll do whatever it takes to wash the pain of livin' away
And keep the ghosts at bay

It would take history's greatest writer
To describe the ways in which I'm broken
But the lines on my face tell the story better than Hemingway ever could
I swear to God someday I'm gonna head out where the highway curves
And drive this El Camino right off the end of the world
Right off the end of the world

It would take history's greatest writer
To describe the ways in which I'm broken
But the lines on my face tell the story better than Hemingway ever could
I swear to God someday I'm gonna head out where the highway curves
And drive this El Camino right off the end of the world
I swear to God someday I'm gonna head out where the highway curves
And drive this El Camino right off the end of the world
Right off the end of the world

Fast forward to 2020. Sterling digs even deeper in the creative dirt for Dark Horses: The Acoustic Sessions. A sparse collection – one guitar/one voice. ... more
