about

A song about leaving everything behind and re-inventing oneself.

lyrics

The Two of Us
Bennett/ Crowder

Start the car and pump the gas-hit the road and count the cash in our pockets
The sun don’t look out on this highway no more
Just the shirts upon our backs
And the dirt beneath the nails of our fingers
A rope made from our shoestrings holding the hood down

Closing the door on an insufficient memory
Ahead of the game; we’re running away
Well on our way to an undetermined destiny
As far as the eye can see
We’re breaking away from everything we used to be

Yesterday was long ago
And tomorrow doesn’t know where we’re headed today
Passing cars, counting telephone poles
Heavy foot upon the floor-And the other hanging out of the window
You know there’s nothing good on the radio

Stopping the car at every opportunity
We’re taking it slow; we’re letting it go
Clutching at all that’s left of our insanity
Trying to shake off the dust
And happiness shines from the faces of the Two of Us

Ditching the car when the engine’s too hot
Hitching a ride to the nearest truckstop
As far as you’re going- right here would be just fine
Thanks for the ride. . . .Bye bye

All the luggage on our backs
And an old guitar that’s keeping the sorrow away
Get us through to another day
And the road goes on and on
Stretching overhead, the sky seems elastic
We know another lifetime awaits us tomorrow

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. ... more
