Stick in My Spokes Lyrics by Jason Dea West

Journey in Today

2017

[Verse 1]
Well, I been hungry, low-down and broke
Tryin' to move forward with a stick in my spokes
Winter's been hard on lots a' folks
Standin' 'round the wood stove, makin' jokes
The cupboards are empty, but there's plenty a' smoke
So I been smokin' like a chimney until I choke
And until I choke
[Verse 2]
Well, my heart starts thumpin' like an old bass drum
When I get it thinkin' 'nough to where I'm from
Well, my grandpa bought land and he build a barn
My momma brought up on a midwest farm
Daddy was a drunk from-a Chicago
By the age of eighteen he was an hobo
Was an hobo
(That's right)
(And it goes on and on)
[Verse 3]
Well, the apple don't fall far from the tree
I left my home when I was seventeen
Caught a ride out west in a beat-up car
Forged my path with this ole' guitar
I searched for the place that I love the most
Then I finally settled on the northwest coast
On the northwest coast
(I like it there)
(I don't think I'm leavin' for a long time)
[Verse 4]
Well, my life ain't like it used to be
It's a one-room cabin and a family
It's been a long time since I wore that sack
Headin' for home on a west-bound track
It's been a long time since I was caught in the rain
And it's been a long time since I rode a freight train
Rode a, rode a freight train
