Were you passin' on a steep grade, ah
Out drivin' past Minam
When the moon came up
I could see her, I had a fever
Lit by the troubles of love
I was askin' a question, what did she say?
She was answerin' one from yesterday

Sayin' fortune, it favors the bold

Jordan Valley, she would gladly
Stop in at Mrs. Z's
With the shepherds and the wreckers
To keep her company
Took a room at the old Basque Hotel
It was a kind of a prayer when her eyelids fell
One sayin' fortune, it favors the bold
And the far away from home
Ah, ah, ah
That river, in the winter
It could fuck me up
Crack my ribs, bust my lip
It could do enough

You left the building in a flurry
Am
Had your boots on in the house
Bm
C
They were dropping little dirt clods
G
You were dropping little doubts
You're asking me questions
On which I can't dwell
And I'm sorry I hold you tighter

Just remember that I am home
If you're drivin', drive
Gotta ramble, ram
Don't you forget you always come home

The textures we live for
The vices we chase
They're all out on a flood plain
That the tears inundate
So if you don't like yelling
You ain't one to cry
Find a brackish imitation
To keep those suckers alive
If you're stayin', stay
If you're goin', go
Just remember that I am home
If you're drivin', drive
Gotta ramble, ram
Don't you forget you always come home
If you're drivin'
Gotta ramble
You always come home
Wasn't much of a warning, he disappeared one morning

Put his mattress up on the back of a pickup truck

Will you think of me on your way back to Tehachapi?
In Sonoma County, well the grass is feisty
It'll put a tear in your eye, make your nose run like it was wanted
You worked on the water and I worked in the pasture
And the fog rollin' into Petaluma at night brought those two together
Will you think of me?
Will you think of me?
Will you think of me on your way back to Tehachapi?
Will I cross your mind
Down ninety-nine
Will you think of me your way back to Tehachapi?
Told you I was willin', but you heard strugglin'
Tell me how does a girl with a family like yours end up so desperate?
Well it's these Little Feats, that keep me goin'
And the day that I quit tryin', is the day my heart stops growin'
Will you think of me?
Will you think of me?
Will you think of me on your way back to Tehachapi?
Will I cross your mind
When you're gunnin' down I-5
Will you think of me on your way back to Tehachapi?
Baby, will you think of me on your way back to Tehachapi?
Yeah, won't you think of me on your way back to Tehachapi?
