Blank and Blues: Grand Prairie Tx. Homesick Blues


Dave Carter with Tracy Grammer: Grand Prairie Tx. Homesick Blues

[purchase]

It is no secret I am smitten with the music and lyrics of Dave Carter - I love this tale from his 1998 debut album, When I Go, stunningly illustrating the "you can't go home again" philosophy:

St. Peter when you call me, you will find me waitin' here
beneath this sad mimosa tree with a quart of drive-thru beer
for home is in the heartland but the heartland cannot save you when the heart is gone
and home's moved on
