Coasting

Liner Notes

I was prompted by the #reverb skirmish last night, but did not even come close to finishing on time! This production took all night. I journeyed down a few rabbit holes and back again, like our narrator. Really enjoyed layering these #surf rock guitars. These lyrics are a cross-country journey. There are two meta-narrative concepts I'm working into this album - one is real and one is a red herring. Maybe you'll figure it out!

Lyrics

I'm just coasting
Through the night
Left is the gas pumps
Right is the ocean
I'm just coasting
Through the night
Quick at reaction
Wired for distraction

Coffee gets cold
Knee on the steering wheel
Coasting on cruise control
Face in the cell phone light
Unflattering in the night
Ask me anything
I promise I will not bite
Ask anything you like

I'm just coasting
Through this life
Panhandle windmills
The moon’s the next landfill
I'm just coasting
Through this life
Stuck in the tin can
I drive like a madman

Talking gets old
Knee on the steering wheel
Coasting on cruise control
Face in the cell phone light
Unflattering at night
I wake up to the cattle yards
Frightening in the dark
Animal in a hot car
Animal in a hot car
Animal in a hot car
Animal in a hot car
