After his divorce, Dave spent a lot of time kicking around the Driftless Area of SE MN (the part of Iowa I live in is part of this region as well) when he didn't have his kids and the album is full of references to places I know well, all drenched in that reflective sense of loss. A lot of that era went into the TBT's "Life Is Good On The Open Road" as well (Kelly's Bar is a real place I've been to several times), which might actually be my favorite TBT album. I think this track (which might be my all time favorite Simonett song) fits the bill of this thread as well.
April 2, 20241 yr Born down in a dead man's town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground End up like a dog that's been beat too much 'Til you spend half your life just to cover it up, now Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hands Send me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man Come back home to the refinery Hiring man said, "Son, if it was up to me" Went down to see my V.A. man He said, "Son, don't you understand, now?" I had a brother at Khe Sanh Fighting off all the Viet Cong They're still there, he's all gone He had a woman he loved in Saigon I got a picture of him in her arms, now Down in the shadow of the penitentiary Out by the gas fires of the refinery I'm ten years burning down the road Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go
