[chorus]
come and ride the road that links the cities of the sun
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
try that again
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
got that alright. tucumcari, albuquerque, flagstaff, phoenix. and points west
[verse 1]
bad times came, and bad times went, and left us here alive
desert folks have histories of learning to survive
the troubles took the cities, then the rich farmland beside
but skipped our land as barren wastе, so here we all abidе
[chorus]
come and ride the road that links the cities of the sun
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
pretty good. got nine more verses to get it right…
[verse 2]
we have no oil worth digging for, just wide jojoba plains
the sun is like a hammer here, and twice a year it rains
but we know where the waters hide, and where the stock can feed
so we survived and prospered when the old world died of greed
[chorus]
come and ride the road that links the cities of the sun
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
[verse 3]
the pack trains and the wagons bring the goods down to the road
we d~cker over prices, then we convoy up and load
now, some of us like steam wheels, and some drive alcohol
but when it comes to weapons, we’ve no arguments at all
[chorus]
come and ride the road that links the cities of the sun
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
[verse 4]
we drive out of the city, and the desert floor unrolls
we meet the road repair crew, and we pay them out their tolls
we swap them news and gossip through the cb on our way
and that’s the only taxes that we’re ever gonna pay
[chorus]
come and ride the road that links the cities of the sun
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
[verse 5]
bless the cool of nighttime, though it makes the driving slow
the heatscopes warn of trouble long before the gangs can show
a couple rounds of rockets makes the bandits go away
and that’s the last of trouble till the coming of the day
[chorus]
come and ride the road that links the cities of the sun
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
[verse 6]
the sun comes up in banners and the heat comes down like lead
our heatscopes now are useless, and there’s trouble up ahead
some gang has set a roadtrap ~ do we fight or do we pay?
h~ll, fire the big recoilless! we ain’t payin’ tax today!
[chorus]
come and ride the road that links the cities of the sun
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
[verse 7]
we get to albuquerque with our armor full of holes
but we’ve got all our cargo safe, and the market street unrolls
we’ll take our pay in car repairs, more armor, and more sh~lls
for the next stretch goes to flagstaff, and that road’s a dozen h~lls!
[chorus]
come and ride the road that links the cities of the sun
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
[verse 8]
so now we’ve got a passenger ~ some kind of preacher man
who sneers at our crude violence, and brags about his plan:
to bring back laws and governments, and all that whole shebang
oh, put him on the tail‑gun, quick, here comes another gang!
[chorus]
come and ride the road that links the cities of the sun
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
[verse 9]
we stagger into flagstaff late, all wounded, scarred, and wrecked
we’ve fought three gangs since morning, but our cargo’s still intact
our passenger is leaving. i think he’s realized
that freedom’s wild and wooly, we don’t want it civilized!
[chorus]
come and ride the road that links the cities of the sun
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
[verse 10]
so pour the drinks, you merchants, for the heroes of the road
we wouldn’t swap our rolling lives for all the goods we’ve towed
so patch our wounds and armor, and make our ammo true
for the next stretch goes to phoenix, and that’s a mother, too!
[chorus]
come and ride the road that links the cities of the sun
it’s the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
the tucumcari‑albuquerque‑flagstaff‑phoenix~run
