Peyote Pines Voyage

Peyote Pete

hands out the buttons

We chew and swallow under the pines

Waking up behind the Winn-Dixie sign

Lauderdale Larry rubbing his eyes

Dale from Dade staring at the trees

Mike Honcho just starting to breathe

The woods stretch out like a bad dream

No highway in sight

just the back lot

Peyote fading but the weight stays

Dale mutters about his wife gone

Left for another

man and the needle

Larry just wants to keep moving south

We keep heading to Alabama

To find Amy waiting down the line

Peyote Pete and Mike Honcho Tagging along with Larry and Dale

Through the pines and the weight we carry

Dale's story cuts through the haze

Wife left him for a black man

Sparked the heavy use and the run

Now four of us bound for the south

Peyote Pete leading with his stash

The trees thin out

as we push on

Alabama border in our sights

Mike Honcho laughs at the madness

Larry keeps the pace steady

Dale silent but the fire burns

Pete shares one more for the road

We keep heading to Alabama

To find Amy waiting down the line

Peyote Pete and Mike Honcho Tagging along with Larry and Dale

Through the pines and the weight we carry

Four men walking into the dawn

Alabama calling soft and low
