The road is your first trip on the road
Charleston, Jacksonville, Albany, Pensacola, Cocoa Beach, Key West, Little Rock and Memphis.
The road is a 58 Chevy with a u-haul hitched to the back
The road is north south east and west
The road is a matchbox of reefer, your first black beauty, drums without cases, leaving a small town, being in a town where something’s happening.
Memories of youth, all of your belongings under one arm. Lost love and mistakes, an older women all of 23.
After gig affairs that wouldn’t kill you
Greasy restaurants
Five star dining, eating in the kitchen.
Occasional respect
The road is laughs and fears
Hallucinations
Black and white
Little or no money
A 59 Volkswagen bus
A monkey on owsleys
Two bands one gig in Birmingham
Your gear stolen
The band leader taking most of the money off the top
Waking up in a new state
The union rep at the club to check your card
The Road Is (part 9)
