they pick so much speed they don't gotta eat?ghost train outta kokomo? part of the landscape on a freeway scene? mother mary hangs up the washing still while poppa work...? oh we can barrel outta here... somewhere the sunsets on a place thats sick... right into the panama zone... (solo) short change artists play all the greats... they never had such a jamboree the night rock n roll turned 33... blow right across western tennesee.. its alright son.. you can come home now...(I KNOW IM WRONG)
anyone got the lyrics for this? its not a track on earthquake weather... anyone know where its from?? always wondered about this one, its not mentioned in any books ive read about him
@fatcat669 - Amazon markets this song as being on Earthquake Weather, but it isn't. I don't know much about it either. Joe did some work for soundtracks in the late 80s, so maybe this was one of them. Also check out his song 'When Pigs Fly', also for a movie.
@TimeWarper75 Its from the Gangsterville single that was taken from Earthquake Weather.It was a 3 track EP...Gangsterville,Jewellers & Bums & Punk Rock Blues.
The other 2 tracks were on the album but this one wasn't.
As far as I know the only way to get hold of it is to track down a copy of the EP.
ppl like Joe are sent here to try heal the world through music, Joes music certainly healed me. One man, One Life , One Voice , One Legend. Luv ya Joe x
This must be one that didn't make it on to Earthquake Weather. Definately, the Latino Rockerbilly War sound. I was lucky to see them a few times. Dont get me wrong, The Mescaleros are great musicians and made Joe's songs sound great but he Latino's were more Strummeresque, if you know what I mean.
