The New Oasis

There's a road that has been worn down
where an old road has been lost
down by the steel mill train line
and the wheels have paid the cost
thousands on their full tanks
rolling to the seeds
of a new wheatfield in a new nowhere
rolling where the new wind leads.

(chorus)
Unknown eyes and unknown faces
unknown town and worn down places
who are they who the wind replaces?
when the bossman burns down the new oasis.

Memory serves no culprit well
as he leans on down the road
sees the vagrants who he hired one time
with busted backs and heavy loads
some may wonder if he sleeps
when the wind brings storms they prayed to drown
his fortress filled with new recruits
the rain for years keeps bleeding down.

(chorus)

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
