lyrics
Took a flight across the ocean, ‘bout as far as you can fly
Bought a van in Massachusetts, just my brother and I
My brother and I
Headed north up to New Hampshire, straight ahead on 93
Trees are rising up around us, just like water in the sea
Water in the sea
Had a swim in Pennsylvania, saw the corn in Illinois
Drove across the Mississippi, thought about those old blues boys
Old blues boys
Saw the sunrise in the badlands, watched the bear cubs as they played
Saw a monument of faces, and the grave where Wild Bill laid
Wild Bill’s Grave
Spent a night in Sin City, watched a man disappear
Took a hike into Grand Canyon, made me grin from ear to ear
Ear to ear
Read the news down in Roswell, ‘bout the martians who came
Went climbing down in Carlsbad, to the bottom of the cave
Bottom of the cave
Had a drink down in Memphis, over on Beale Street they played
Sold the van back in Rhode Island, flew back home the next day
Bought a van in Massachusetts, just my brother and I
My brother and I
Headed north up to New Hampshire, straight ahead on 93
Trees are rising up around us, just like water in the sea
Water in the sea
Had a swim in Pennsylvania, saw the corn in Illinois
Drove across the Mississippi, thought about those old blues boys
Old blues boys
Saw the sunrise in the badlands, watched the bear cubs as they played
Saw a monument of faces, and the grave where Wild Bill laid
Wild Bill’s Grave
Spent a night in Sin City, watched a man disappear
Took a hike into Grand Canyon, made me grin from ear to ear
Ear to ear
Read the news down in Roswell, ‘bout the martians who came
Went climbing down in Carlsbad, to the bottom of the cave
Bottom of the cave
Had a drink down in Memphis, over on Beale Street they played
Sold the van back in Rhode Island, flew back home the next day

about
Halfway to Forth Adelaide, Australia
Halfway to Forth blend different styles of roots music into their own brand of earthy, homegrown and honest song-writing. Brothers Dan & Kyle deliver tight vocal harmonies, banjo driven ballads & toe tapping grooves for all ages. They take their name from the location of their family home, nestled in the hills, surrounded by rich farmland just outside of Devonport on the North coast of Tasmania. ... more
