A reference to Townes van Zandt
written by Klaus Adamaschek

lyrics

Townes and me
A reference to Townes van Zandt

I'm not sure we could have been friends, me and Townes van Zandt
His songs, some of the best but his life, a total mess

But in my dreams we ride through New Mexico
Townes and me in an old pick-up truck
From Santa Fe all the way to El Paso
In the land of the free we're looking for some luck
But this is just a dream

They stole his childhood memory in some failed therapy
His depression it lingered on, brought us all these lonesome songs

And in my dreams we ride through New Mexico
Townes and me in an old pick-up truck
From Santa Fe all the way to El Paso
In the land of the free we're looking for some luck
But this is just a dream

Too much drugs and too much booze and so much love to lose
Most of all he needed friends, some were with him in the end

We rode on highway 25, me and my wife
And we listened to his songs, the sun was shining on Raton

And in our dreams we ride through New Mexico
You and me in an old pick-up truck
From Santa Fe all the way to El Paso
In the land of the free we're looking for some luck
And this is still our dream
