From Sausalito to the Rio Grande
They say the heart away grows fond
But I’ve been on this absent highway
For so long
When I was young I fought in the war
I was shot three times and left for dead
The doc gave me codeine
Said now the fight was in my head
They don’t make movies like they used to
They don’t write those stories anymore
They don’t make heroes out of celluloid like before
They say the hardest parts of the day
Are the beginning and the end
But the hardest part for me
Is knowing the day won’t come again
So while you’re living in your stolen time
Remember to know just what it means
Some day some actor is gonna dress like you and steal your scenes
And you’ll say...
They don’t make movies like they used to
They don’t write those stories anymore
They don’t make heroes out of celluloid like before
They don’t make heroes out of celluloid anymore

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like MARGO PRICE! She presents easy going country pop, smooth and with pleasant vocals, reminding me sometimes even at Stevie Nicks. The title track is one of my favourites, but also the other songs are catchy and performed with smooth energy, H.L.
