Feel like walking, don’t you wanna come too
Strong wind blowin’, here’s a jacket for you.
Feel like walking, don’t you wanna come too
Been feelin’ like walking for a year or two
Been feelin’ like walking for a year or two
Feel like walking to the grocery store
What we can carry and we won’t buy more
Feel like walking to the grocery store
I got a little money so we don’t look poor
I got a little money so we don’t look poor
Used to have gas and an automobile
Now there’s nothing but rusted steel
Used to have gas and an automobile
Those long ago days just don’t seem real
Those long ago days just don’t seem real

Another Second Chance

Dark before you know it
A daylight savings crime
I’m waking up in twilight
And dizzy all the time
Lonely in the night time
Before the sun comes up
Be back before you know it
With an overflowing cup
I’m living in surprising days but things look just the same
A missing piece completely changed the game
Another plan done
Another band gone
Another man in another circumstance
Another day dawned
Another night long
Another time for another second chance
Never really knowing
The way it’s s’posed to be
The big misunderstanding
Is what’s come over me
You’re coasting down the highway
And stuck in standby mode
The headlights catch me standing in the road

Illinois

There’s a town on a river in Illinois
Where the riverboat never sets sail
And the people who gathered along the shores
They seemed heavy and pale
I can barely remember the way we lived
Those workdays and nights at the bars
Here’s to the loneliness
Here’s to the loneliness
There’s a place ’cross the river in Illinois
You can go there and never be found
And the people living beyond the shores
They keep looking ’round town
I can barely remember the way we lived
Those workdays and nights at the bars
Here’s to the loneliness
Here’s to the loneliness
Here’s to the loneliness
I can barely remember the way we lived
Those workdays and nights at the bars
Here’s to the loneliness
Here’s to the loneliness
Here’s to the loneliness
Out to the sunny west

Arroyo Grande

Traveling on the water’s edge
Miles to go before I head
In one direction
Much prefer I didn’t have to choose
Shifting down to lower gears
It’s been hours, seems like years
Forgot to mention
We don’t have to go if you refuse
Arroyo Grande
Hold on when the bridge begins to sway
The other side’s not far away
Arroyo Grande
I can hear the ripples fade a way
I’ll follow you if that’s OK
The other side’s not far away
Spend the night beside the school
Up in time for breakfast food
There’s no hurry
We’ll be there before we need to be
Leave before we say goodbye
But I think I caught their eye
Listen, surely
They don’t think that we intend to flee
Arroyo Grande
Hold on when the bridge begins to sway
The other side’s not far away
Arroyo Grande
I can hear the ripples fade a way
I’ll follow you if that’s OK
The other side’s not far away
Memories of prairies
Help us climb another hill
Do they think of us, I hope they will
I hope they will
Arroyo Grande
Hold on when the bridge begins to sway
The other side’s not far away
Arroyo Grande
I can hear the ripples fade a way
I’ll follow you if that’s OK
The other side’s not far away
Arroyo Grande, Arroyo Grande, yeah

Down West Los Angeles, California
DOWN WEST is a rock trio. Featuring songwriter Steve Stanard on guitar and harmonica, Theo Waddell on cajon, drums, and percussion, and Ron Feliciano on bass, it’s the kind of indie music that could only be grown in Southern California.
Down West recommends:
This sounds like Wilco is playing in your living room, and not quietly either. Tweedy's voice and songwriting are as intimate as ever.
