anything will do
on the road
from coalmine
mesa
on to hopiland
first mesa
dirt road
from tolani lake
miles
of
dirt road
hot sand
no wind
midday
under
the
sun
no breeze
after the first night
thinking on kinlani
a lonely ribbon
just a road
how far from coalmine mesa
on the way to nageezi
no one on the road
tough to walk
no ride
sun beating down
hot, hot day
wanting a ride
he walks
how would it be…
how would it be…
it would be nice
to have some kind of wheels
how would it be…
to go
from here to there
to go
where you want and when
to kick back and enjoy the tunes
feeling cold air
a cool drink right there
feet tired
skin hot
dry
dry air
there goes one now
a nice ride
didn't even look
just heading on down the road
need just…
some wheels…
anything will do
one that can go from..
here..
to there
take me there
what would it be like
not worry about the tires
engine getting hot
not enough juice
anything will do…
just… anything will do
an old 70 Ford with a good engine
maybe a Chevy with any kind of rims really
a torn seat, a cracked window who cares
just so long as it runs
burning up
on the highway
dust in face
heat
from
the
road
an old truck pulls up
a hopi says
it runs
not so pretty
but it will get you there
jumping in
crawling in
the miles slip on by
it is so good…
to get a ride
just any ride
the wind whistling
a breeze blowing
miles slip by
cool water from a jug
it is a nice day
