about

Alice is a bluegrass / rockabilly tune that features Sammy Rae & the Friends and Kathleen Parks on fiddle. Some 11 years ago, I took my first road trip ever with Chris Burns and this song was inspired by those events. It's got everything from meeting your muse to alien encounters.

lyrics

Take Highway 55 to Memphis
Go to a bar named Tripoli
Ask the bartender for Alice
Pickin' a guitar on her knee

Well I'm 12 long miles from Memphis
I can see the lights on Tripoli
So I called the bartender for Alice
Said she was waiting on me

Play Alice, play
Play your song for me
Play it soft and play it sweet
You already know what I wanna hear, Alice
You even know my favorite key

Alice was sitting in the front seat
When the flashing lights came from behind
So I pulled off the road, no cop in sight.
Just them goddamn martians on the Arkansas line!

Play Alice, play
Play your song for me
Play it soft and play it sweet
You already know what I wanna hear, Alice
You even know my favorite key

Alice and the wind
Are the two things in life
That I know to be free

Alice and the wind
They always seem to leave...

Oh they're blowing like the breeze.
