Twin Rocks, Oregon - Shawn Mullins[00:00:00]
I met him on the cliffs[00:00:08]
Of twin rocks Oregon[00:00:09]
He was sittin' on his bedroll[00:00:11]
Lookin' just like Richard Brautigan[00:00:12]
I thought he was an old man[00:00:15]
He wasn't but thirty seven[00:00:16]
He said he'd been ridin' trains[00:00:21]
For fifteen years[00:00:22]
Drawin' portraits[00:00:24]
To keep his belly full of the beer[00:00:25]
And looked to me like he'd died[00:00:28]
And missed the plane to Heaven[00:00:30]
But he was a nice old guy[00:00:35]
For a younger man[00:00:36]
He had a bottle of Mad Dog[00:00:38]
He held in his hand[00:00:40]
Waved around a lot[00:00:42]
To make his point[00:00:43]
And I listened as he told his tales[00:00:48]
Wine and women and county jails[00:00:51]
We finished off that bottle[00:00:55]
And smoked a half a joint[00:00:57]
He said I came here to watch the sun[00:01:01]
Disappear into the ocean[00:01:06]
Is this been years[00:01:10]
Since I smelled this salty sea[00:01:11]
He turned his bottle up and down[00:01:17]
I saw him lost and I saw him found[00:01:21]
He said I don't know what I've been[00:01:26]
Lookin' for maybe me[00:01:27]
Well I told him I too had been[00:01:39]
Travelin' around[00:01:41]
Livin' out of my van from town to town[00:01:43]
Playin' for tips and whatever records[00:01:47]
I could move[00:01:48]
I said I don't reckon I'll be makin it big[00:01:53]
You know it's hard to get rich[00:01:55]
Off a tout of coffee house gigs[00:01:57]
He said Yeah but ain't it a blessin'[00:02:00]
To do what you wanna do[00:02:02]
I told him Yeah I pulled off here[00:02:06]
To watch the sun disappear into the ocean[00:02:08]
'Cause it's been years[00:02:14]
Since I smelled this salty sea[00:02:17]
Me turned his bottle up and down[00:02:22]
He saw me lost and he saw me found[00:02:26]
He said I don't know what I've[00:02:32]
Been lookin' for maybe me[00:02:33]
I said It's get kinda late[00:03:01]
Better be headin' down the interstate[00:03:04]
Can I give you a lift[00:03:07]
To San Francisco bay[00:03:08]
He said Nope I think I'm just[00:03:14]
Going to sit here and rest[00:03:15]
Maybe wait on the[00:03:17]
Tokyo Montana express[00:03:18]
I might just lay here[00:03:22]
And dream my life away[00:03:23]
I'm gonna sit right here[00:03:26]
I'm gonna watch the sun[00:03:28]
Disappear into the ocean[00:03:32]
'Cause it's been years it's been years[00:03:35]
I'm gonna turn my bottle up and down[00:03:41]
You can see me lost[00:03:45]
And you can see me found[00:03:47]
I met him on the cliffs[00:03:59]
Of twin rocks Oregon[00:04:00]
He was sitting on his bedroll looking[00:04:02]
Just like Richard Brautigan[00:04:04]
Just like him[00:04:09]
