"I'm coming home tomorrow / I'm at the Days Inn in Navarro / Bacon cigarettes and sorrow / Cold coffee and rain..."
When it comes to outlaw country, Waylon Jennings has got nothing on Roland Dixon & Honky Tonk CIA. Step into the smoky throat burn and cough of "Drunk in the Fast Lane" and you might feel gleefully hung over. You might also feel like you are turning your head to look at that accident off of the 330 or happily eating chocolate chip ice cream while watching "Trainspotting". I absolutely love the downturned views, the twangy guitars that bite and absolutely stunning vocal countenance full of pain in repose. The lyrics like liner notes for a heartbreak story in between Kurt Vonnegut and Denis Johnson are brilliantly rendered full of self deprecations and full on cosmic jokes from God.
Thankfully the auteur says this: "This song stumbles along the line of satire and sincerity. Drunk in the fast lane is the story of heartache, hard luck and the road home."
I'm fucked up on heartache / Robitussin and cocaine / In the fast lane /In the fast lane
I'm drunk in the fast lane / I got a lap full of lo mein / In the fast lane / In the fast lane
I'm coming home
I'm drunk in the fast lane / I got a lap full of lo mein / In the fast lane / In the fast lane
I'm coming home
