Desperation Road (Album Version) - Michael Martin Murphey[00:00:00]
Driving West out on I'm 40[00:00:10]
On my way to taste some California wine[00:00:12]
Broke down family flagged me down[00:00:21]
Near the Arizona line[00:00:24]
Their whole world was in a pickup[00:00:28]
I guess it couldn't pull the load[00:00:32]
It was just our vacation[00:00:38]
But to them it was desperation road[00:00:41]
The lines on their faces[00:00:49]
Told the story of the places that they'd been[00:00:52]
Now their home is a highway[00:00:59]
That never seems to end[00:01:04]
Empty dreams and empty pockets[00:01:07]
Sure can make a heavy load[00:01:11]
To some of us it's just a highway[00:01:18]
But to others it's desperation road[00:01:21]
Their eyes had a sadness[00:01:29]
From another place in time[00:01:31]
A silent reminder that the grapes of wrath[00:01:39]
Still make bitter wine[00:01:43]
And it sure makes you wonder[00:01:49]
'Bout all the seeds our country sows[00:01:53]
Which of us will be the next[00:02:01]
To travel down desperation road[00:02:03]
I helped them start their pickup[00:02:11]
And watched them as they faded out of sight[00:02:13]
Guess the last thing I remember[00:02:21]
Is the faces of the children in my lights[00:02:24]
That night in a motel room[00:02:29]
I have a dream that made my blood run cold[00:02:32]
I saw my own wife and family[00:02:39]
Standing out on desperation road[00:02:43]
And their eyes had a sadness[00:02:50]
From another place in time[00:02:54]
A silent reminder that the grapes of wrath[00:03:01]
Still make bitter wine[00:03:05]
And it sure makes you wonder[00:03:11]
'Bout all the seeds our country sows[00:03:14]
Which of us will be the next[00:03:22]
To travel down desperation road[00:03:25]
Could be your own wife and family[00:03:32]
Standing out on desperation road[00:03:35]
