Heaterswitch Sunrise Blues

from Crooked Songs by Rance Garrison

/

about

Recorded at Joe's house on the same day as Light Up Ahead, Dust of the Earth, and Country Elegance. An earlier, more fleshed out version also appears on "Lonesome Highway," but I like the simplicity of this one.

lyrics

Well its so late the sun is rising
And the night is dying
And the street lights are fading
As yesterday's credits roll
And I'm thinking about the old days
About old friends gone their own ways
I know that time flies, baby,
But it feels just like a stroll

It feels like everybody's leaving this place
And I'm still standing here with a dumbstruck look upon my face
Fond farewell to all old times
Put 'em in a box and lay it all on the line
I'm gonna sit around and watch the sun rise

Well, there's no windows in my home
I just hang out here all alone
Sometimes my girl drops by or a friend comes to call
And my truck's heaterswitch is broken
There's so much that goes unspoken
There are things I'd love to tell you
That I will never say at all.

It feels like everybody's leaving this place
But I'm still standing here with a dumbstruck look upon my face
Fond farewell to all old times
Put 'em in a box and lay it all the line
I'm gonna sit around and watch the sun rise.
