lyrics

The cb radio crackled, all crisis and chaos and cold static. Brutal rain battered my beaten truck. In the darkness, a friendly flash of red. Someone wanted to change lanes. I blinked my high beams, and the taillights thanked me. Mankind's last warm connection. Two teamsters, blind worms going nowhere down I-55. Together, alone. Always, always alone.

By now, my daughter would be 12 years old. Her hair smelled of strawberries the last time I held her. She promised me no more training wheels if I came to see her dance. Miss one, miss 'em all.

Lightning burned the clouds, and they fell like ash, leaving a bloody scab in the sky. Against it, to the north, the hungry Mississippi swallowed the great Hernando-Desoto bridge. What a sight.

Babylon was falling, it's faulty foundation sinking into the sand.

Soon, it would catch me, too, but I'd built a career on running, and solid ground was only a few feet away.

But then, the earth gave way, squirming, churning, crumbling beneath me. It turned, and I flew.

("For once, will you just talk to me? Can't you just sit down and talk?")
(Once, my wife asked me to sit down for a moment. My stomach tightened…)

When did I start running? Everything I'd left behind…
The trailer skidded a quarter mile, then jackknifed and tossed my broken body onto the pavement. On the other side of the river, Memphis rippled like a wave and sank into the ground. The buildings cried out for mercy, but no one answered. I should have never run away. Too late. All that was left was silence.

No more running. For the first time in my life, I stood tall and faced the wind.

Pepper is a very surprising musician. His vocal arrangements steal the show on this album, and he displays a deft lyrical prowess. All around, brilliant stuff. Husky In Denial
