well i've been drivin all night and i've been drivin all day and i ain't heard a single good song since somewhere outside santa fe i got four more hours before i make it to the show and i really gotta pee so how come all the rest stops are closed? oh this tourin’ life well it ain't the way they say find me sitting alone in the back of the bar just waiting to get paid they tolerated me in roswell in albuquerque they gave me hell in las cruces, they seemed to think i was okay well i've been drivin all night and i've been drivin all day and i ain't heard a single good song since somewhere outside santa fe i don't wanna go to nashville that's not what i'm gonna do i write these songs for myself not for a&r men in suits but at the same time i can feel it growing stale too many more nights like this and maybe i'll wind up in jail kicked right out of every bar in taos even gallup's getting weary of having me around but i wouldn't change a thing not the broken down van in the middle of white sands not the sleeping on benches in truth or consequences no i wouldn't change a thing well i've been drivin all night and i've been drivin all day and i ain't heard a single good song since somewhere outside santa fe

this city is crazy and it don't make sense it's hard to tell up from down and right from left sometimes i get so lost i just sing these words ain't that the corner of first and third ain't that the corner of first and third just how i got here i ain't quite sure i went digging for diamonds but all i found was dirt ain't that the corner of first and third some people say that i'm just down on my luck if you just keep truckin' on then things will start lookin' up but sometimes i get so lost oh when will i learn ain't that the corner of first and third ain't that the corner of first and third just how i got here i ain't quite sure i went digging for diamonds but all i found was dirt ain't that the corner of first and third and all these bright lights are blinding me as i stumble through these tulsa streets sometimes i swear i hear her calling me right on back to gallup in a dream ain't that the corner of first and third just how i got here i ain't quite sure i tried my best lord but i did my worst ain't that the corner of first and third

when they kick down your front door how're you gonna come? with your hands on your head or on the trigger of your gun? yeah when the feds break in how're you gonna go? shot down in the desert or waiting in death row? you can crush you can bruise us but you'll have to answer to the guns of gallup the money it feels good and your life you like it well but surely your time will come as in heaven as in hell you see he feels like butch now born out on that desert skid his game is called survivin at the end of the sundance kid you can crush you can bruise us but you'll have to answer to the guns of gallup shot down in the desert waiting in death row the guns of gallup you can crush you can bruise us or even shoot us the guns of gallup

i’ve searched through all the great cathedrals roamed across this god-forsaken land i’ve ate the bread, drank the wine and kneeled but i still just don’t seem to understand see my church has a stable not a steeple the saddle is the pew in which i pray on sundays i sleep later than most people and i don’t think i’ll ever change my ways i found the lord in horses, dingy bars, and lonesome songs and who the hell are you to call me wrong? like an A.M. country station it’s just so clear at night there’s nothing quite like knowing that you’re right anyone can join my congregation folks gather here, come from far and wide we don’t waste our time with confirmation another round is what we call a tithe i’ve seen all the famous stained glass windows but they just don’t compare with neon light my church has a jukebox and a patio we confess our sins here every friday night i found the lord in horses, dingy bars, and lonesome songs and who the hell are you to call me wrong? like an A.M. country station it’s just so clear at night there’s nothing quite like knowing that you’re right

i'm just a lonely boy from gallup, new mexico and you're just a city gal from tulsa, oklahom birds of a feather well you know what they say we go together but not quite in that way we go together like chicken and waffles well it sure could be better but at the same time it's not awful we go together, somehow it's true and i don't know what i'd do without you sometimes you're here sometimes i'm not sometimes we go for weeks where we don't even talk well i know that people come and people they go whenever i’m convinced you’re gone you call me on the phone we go together like chicken and waffles well it sure could be better but at the same time it's not awful we go together, somehow it's true and i don't know what i'd do without you i've tried so hard just to find another but every time i walk away i end up back in the gutter my shrink she says that i need to move on but no matter what she says i’ll keep on writing lonesome songs we go together like chicken and waffles well it sure could be better but at the same time it's not awful we go together, somehow it's true and i don't know what i'll do without you

about

Gallup, New Mexico’s Weird Darryl never achieved the same level of fame as other outlaw country stars, but he was perhaps the best of the bunch. Embroiled in a vicious contractual dispute with Columbia, Darryl was never permitted to release even a single album during his lifetime. But he didn’t let this stop him from doing what he loved. Along with his trusty backing band The Gusty Winds, Weird Darryl tore up the underground circuit throughout the 80s, thrilling audiences with his unique brand of not just one but both kinds of music, booking dive bar gigs from the road via payphone, frequently playing multiple towns in the same night. Along the way, Darryl befriended everyone from Darla Cross to Joe Ely to ex-Beatle Ringo Starr who enjoyed a brief stint as The Gusty Winds’ drummer in ‘86.

Here now for the first time ever on Compact Disc is the recently unearthed complete soundboard recording of Weird Darryl & The Gusty Winds' second encore at their final show ever - The Last Boogie at Crazy Creek.
