about

Chip Macdonald spent some years trucking out on Route 66. Lyrics like this come to him in his sleep. He emails them to his bandmates in the middle of the night, and we put 'em to music.

lyrics

Loaded or empty, uphill or down
Rollin' across country or stuck downtown
I get fifteen tears per mile, fifteen tears per mile
Fifteen tears per mile, fifteen tears per mile

Eastbound, westbound, rain or snow
Always a day late and I gotta go
But I get fifteen tears per mile, fifteen tears per mile
Fifteen tears per mile, fifteen tears per mile

Hear the thunder of the engine, choir of the tires
Road's gettin' steeper, that mountain's gettin' higher
But I get fifteen tears per mile, fifteen tears per mile
Fifteen tears per mile, fifteen tears per mile

I lost her just a year ago, I hear those grave winds sigh
No one to tell me now how the hell not to cry
Fifteen tears per mile, fifteen tears per mile
Fifteen tears per mile, fifteen tears per mile
Oooooh....
