This second solo effort by Dale Thompson is much different from his first. He combined the talents of the region's most talented musicians to assist him this time. This recording, like his first, is a concept that shows one man's struggle through life. Many of the stories that are incorporated are
from Dale's past. Using real horns, keyboards, and many other unusual instruments, Dale produced a very believable blues recording. This record is available in stores and was originally distributed by Rugged Records.
Lyrics:
Tried to kill me with a piano wire
Got a tattoo to cover the scar
Hop on a freighter ride the rails out of town
Glass eyed skip tracer trying to track me down
Flat on my back wish this box car had wings
Chasing the turquoise across the sky
Got born again listening to cold steel
Shaking the cob webs from my mind
The wind is whistling through the cracks
Like a teapot about to burst
I'd trade this tattoo for one square meal
Not too bad cause I've been worse
Stop the world and let me off
Stop the world
I need a little more room
St. Vitas dance in the wilderness
Met Jesus under silver moon
