lyrics

You were fixing your makeup and driving
in the desert on god’s highway
when you heard Summerteeth for the first time playing back from the stock tape deck
You were only a kid then, honey
No one told us the secret yet
You threw our cash at the rest stop bar keep and fell asleep on a motel cot

By the time that we pass by Tucson you told me you never really liked my face
But I’ve been hauling your backload, baby
A caravan and a year erased
I’m the only rascal you walk through your timeline
A quarter tank and a long red light

Am I hot for your touch? Maybe
But, baby, we ain’t misbehaving
So kiss me before we’re overblown
I know it don’t mean nothing, but it’s better than driving alone

When the waitress in Carson City showed us both where the rose is wild
on a map on the back of a placemat,
you got quiet and polite for a while.
“You’re framing my past like it’s artwork,
like it’s some kind of choice for you.
But you can’t run with me out to the Badlands
I’ve already reaped where they grew.”

Is it too late for your touch? Maybe
But, baby, we ain’t misbehaving
We’re just talking over last call, I ain’t gunning for your bloodstream
So kiss me now while we’re indisposed
I know it don’t mean nothing, but it’s better than driving alone

about

Brewster New Jersey

Brewster's 'Honey Shake Me' is an album of transit, a collection of highway songs - there's a "welcome to" state sign at every track break. White lines and stop signs beating a steady rhythm as the nation metls and warps, like a vinyl copy of "This Land is Your Land" left on the dashboard.

They're a stone-cold, wide-armed band, welcoming any and all twangy, emotive music to gather under the tent.
