State Highway One

Hay bales on new years day
A soup of grass served on the tray
And all the lakes are made of clay
Drinking at the matinee
We had no telling from the time of the sun
That shone upon state highway one

I asked Hannah G what she wanted to hear
She said to buy her a drink would be fair
So I looked far away and gave her my beer
She said Beer I dont drink and got up from her chair
She had the face of a wardrobe and the body of a nun
And she was on my mind on state highway one

We stopped by at the old train
Where the water had rained
In a tide of change
That left the gates all rusted and chained
We drove so far I was tempted to run
Straight down the line of state highway one

Vague memories in the head
The ace of diamonds the ace of spades
The ace of hearts lies in wait instead
For a tour that disappeared
The game that came and divided the nation
Either side of state highway one

The unrest was all there before
All we needed was reason for
Declaring civil war
Laying chairs upon the floor
People wanted to know whose side you were on
If you crossed state highway one

Id love to show you how to laugh
Put pebbles on your photograph
Count the hairs upon your head
Tuck your blankets into bed
Me and Hannah G we could have led the demonstration
Hand in hand down state highway one
