Bass Run Lyrics by Max Stalling

Sell Out - Live at Dan’s Silver Leaf

0

[Verse 1]
Every once in a while I do drift homewards
Sometimes I drive sometimes I just dream
400 miles and six hard pushing hours
To check on a life that is just out of reach

[Verse 2]
I think of a child sleeping by open windows
Two miles away there's this bar on a hill
Playing cojunto into the small hours
It drifts 'cross the plowed fields and his window sill

[Chorus]
I like the sound of a Mexican bass run
I like the feel that it puts in my bones
Sometimes I wonder how I ever got here
I'm just tryin' to get home

[Verse 3]
I traded rattlers and scorpions for roaches
And wide open spaces for a job that pays good
Now as I sit here in traffic in Stressville
I wonder if I'm being paid what I should

[Chorus]
I like the sound of a Mexican bass run
I like the feel that it puts in my bones
Sometimes I wonder how I ever got here
I'm just tryin' to get home

[Verse 4]
I think of a girl and I can see her face plain
And dark eyes in moonlight but her name just escapes
I'll never forget the feel of the first time
Does it surprise you to hear me say

[Chorus]
I like the sound of a Mexican bass run
I like the feel that it puts in my bones
Sometimes I wonder how I ever got here
I'm just tryin' to get home

[Verse 5]
Oh I've got this friend he's a lawyer in Dallas
I've got this friend he's a lawyer in Dallas
His folks grow potatoes out panhandle way
He talks of Bob Wills and playboys and turkey
Off come his wing tips and boots take their place

[Chorus]
And he likes the sound of a Western swing bass run
He likes the feel that it puts in his bones
Sometimes he wonders how he ever got here
I think he's tryin' to get home
Oh I like the sound of a Mexican bass run
I like the feel that it puts in my bones
Sometimes I wonder how I ever got here
I'm just tryin' to get home
Yeah we like the sound of a bass run
We like the feel it puts in our bones
Sometimes we wonder how we ever got here
How the hell are we gonna get home
