High Lonesome

Seems like I've got just enough time at work these days to occasionally get some kind of art onto my cup!!! Usually during lunch time things slow to where I can do this.

I've got a lot in me these days, it's about time for me to go random....



This design, for whatever reason, I got to thinking I'd put the Carl's Jr. old logo on my cup. I'm not exactly sure when, but at some point around 15 years or so back, their star lost it's boots, burger, drink and face!!! When did Carl's Jr. change their logo??? I don't know that I've ever thought about it before yesterday...

ANyway, after I drew it, the boots on it reminded me of the end of Gaslight Anthem's "High Lonesome", which has been in A rotation for a couple of months for me!!!



So the ambulances came
They took your pulse and packed up your things
And the papers read
Some boys forget what the heart it brings
And the pounding in the street
Was your heart in four four time
And the taste of defeat
Was was never too far from your mind

And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis
And in my head there's all these classic cars
And outlaw cowboy bands
I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else

So gravity came
And stole the temple that the schoolboys praised
And the crowd shuffled in
You're getting drinks for the same boys
Who once bought you everything
And the patter on the bar
Was just this one time
The patter on the bar
Was just this one night
Only to get by

And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis
And in my head there's all these classic cars
And outlaw cowboy bands
I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else

There were Southern accents
On the radio
As I drove home
And at night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
It's a pretty good song
Maybe you know the rest
Maybe you know the rest

And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
Always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis
And in my head there's all these classic cars
And outlaw cowboy bands
I always kinda sorta wish I'm someone else

When our boots they hit the ground
They made a high and lonesome sound
When our boots they hit the ground
They made a high and lonesome sound
When our boots they hit the ground
They made a high and lonesome sound
When our boots they hit the ground
Down from the clouds
They made a high and lonesome sound


See the Counting Crows & Springsteen influences there??? Thumbs up for Aye!!!
