Chorus
A triptych taped on the dashboard line
From the cypress bend to the Carolina pine
Willie's got a stamp for the black mud creek
Searching for the strange that the lost souls seek
Don't stop the tires till the fuel runs thin
Just follow the trail where the wild starts in
Follow the trail where the wild starts in
Verse 1
Fog on the moss
A rusted Pinto where the river gets crossed
Gray shacks leaning on a crooked screen door
While three wild chimps start hollering for more
Painted boards promising worms for sale
Five college kids perched on the limestone rail
Airboats idling as the mosquitoes sing
To the velvet heat that the hollow can bring
Chorus
A triptych taped on the dashboard line
From the cypress bend to the Carolina pine
Willie's got a stamp for the black mud creek
Searching for the strange that the lost souls seek
Don't stop the tires till the fuel runs thin
Just follow the trail where the wild starts in
Follow the trail where the wild starts in
Verse 2
Sandy Run sunrise
Gold hitting the hills like a holy surprise
Dirt track spinning like a brown hurricane
With monkeys on bulls in the fast passing lane
Cotton bandanas and white cowboy hats
Cricket flour sold where the porch wood is flat
Same five kids got their hands to the sky
Watching the critters as they gallop on by
Bridge
Postmark wavy from a different date
Volcano 10-center burning late
Linen paper crackles and the edges turn brown
The world gets folded when you leave the main town
Chorus
A triptych taped on the dashboard line
From the cypress bend to the Carolina pine
Willie's got a stamp for the black mud creek
Searching for the strange that the lost souls seek
Don't stop the tires till the fuel runs thin
Just follow the trail where the wild starts in
Follow the trail where the wild starts in
