I need a zipper on a good coat
Need the unheard music to find my throat
There are things I need you to know
About me
I'm in a small car driving West
In a big country driving West
I used to push my will through
Didn't let anyone tell me what to do
Now I wonder if it was best
To adopt these stances
I'm in a small car driving West
In a big country driving West
Anchored my feet to big books
Just to have a better look
At things as they really are
From the windshield from afar
I'm in a small car driving West
In a big country driving West
The lone wolf hunts free
Where there are no hands to feed
There are things you never cared to know
And there's things I'll never show
I'm in a small car driving West
In a big country driving West

Hoping For A Miracle

Siphon off some gas from the continental artificial vein
In the early hours before dirt felt rain
Surrounded by tenets of love's little cowards
Monetarily theistic and willed to power
By those who seek to take all my opportunity
And leave me with not one shred of dignity
Now there's a table set, only a few will eat
Bread burns as it's bartered in the street
All it's blessings lifted from needy tongues
To feed the poor the rich exploit the foreign and the young
Standing in the market where bodies are sold, or stacked in the garage
Waiting for the fall of the mirage
Now I've been in four different Cubas, and a dozen red states
Where thieves of broken dream pick their running mates
Walking the street hoping for a miracle
hoping for a miracle

Oozing the laidback lush California sound, Windwolves puts you in that warm breeze off the ocean summer night state of mind.
