lyrics

A night in the city of flowers, hey I'm just passing through
Lifted up with the help of a viking lad who'd just passed 22.
We'd been chasing the sun with the rain at our heels,
could hang a left for a diamond mine
But mother she calls so we're headed her way
Over mountains and railway lines.

In a quarry I laid my guitar down, on some old preconceived ideas
and a bluesman demands my attention, like the road on the ride down here.
A kiss for a song? If I get a note wrong, would he step back? I guess that he wouldn't
Cause summer's almost gone,
I could ask him to come when the road calls,
but I wouldn't.

We hit the road for the love of folk.
We hit the road, it's the life we know.
We hit the road like there's nothing to lose
But it's taking it all everyday this, the life that we choose.

Through to sun valley in search of a gap in the clouds
Rain a fly in my whisky, that I'm just picking out
A voice in my head, and outside Kill City Blues.
Oh everyone's a critic, ain't that the truth.

We hit the road for the love of folk.
We hit the road, it's the life we know.
We hit the road like there's nothing to lose
But it's taking it all everyday this, the life that we choose.
