about

Yet another of the many "Anniversary Songs" for Bat's wife, Brenda. This one is a relatively true account of an anniversary vacation.

lyrics

Stuck in a Standard station waiting for the repair
Finding our destination isn’t anywhere
Somewhere in Colorado miles from God knows where
Stranded on Big I-25 and we don’t care
Just my baby and me and the good Mr. Jones
We were headed up to Denver to roll the bones
Somewhere in Colorado never, never knows

The wrecker arriving shortly towed us to Trinidad
Told us our situation wasn’t quite so bad
Mr. Jones got hotel rooms and finding the nearest bar
We laughed and drank while the locals wondered who we are

At the end of the night baby pulled me to her
And made love to me on every stick of furniture
Somewhere in Colorado I was loving her

Morning finds us hung over on a pleasant day
A garage and Kit Carson’s museum, then we’re on our way
Burning numbers along the ride
We laughed until we each got a pain in our side
Rolling along with the tide
We were somewhere in Colorado

Somewhere in Colorado something was in the air
Driving an El Camino, we were on a tear
Bathing in our bravado, burning both ends of the flair
Somewhere in Colorado, baby take me there

The airport in north Aurora, the bar at the Regency
Mr. Jones bade us stay, but we went on our way
To the Lakewood scene

Kevin and Laurie’s parties, concerts in the field
Museums and zoos and the clubs and the booze
Till our senses reeled

Mr. Jones rang us up at the end of our stay
But which hotel he was in it seemed he couldn’t say
And I guess it didn’t really matter anyway
He was Somewhere in Colorado

Somewhere in Colorado, Venus and Mars in the air
Driving an El Camino, He was on a tear
Bathing in our bravado, burning both ends of the flair
Somewhere in Colorado baby take me there

Amazing.
Phenomenal. Unbelievable. These are the adjectives most commonly used to describe the Singer/Guitarist from Flower Mound, whether they are talking about his voice, or his guitar playing. Now in his fifth year as a Solo Performer on the National stage, Bat leaves quite an impression wherever he plays.
Amazing guitar playing, wonderful storytelling, absolutely delightful.
