lyrics
our trips been travelled,
our journey's adjourned
We've burned all the firewood
but what have we learned?
I loved you once twice but I love you no more
No reason to weep as I reach for the door
the edge of our map tells a story so old
we've come to the end, dear
we've run out of road
the line in the sand
which we drew was then crossed
Souting out orders yet neither the boss
I loved you once twice but I love you no more
No reason to speak those soft words anymore
The blurred tattered line is a promise foretold
we've come to the end, dear
we've run out of road
Our red state reaction
is straight from the news
We should’ve been laughing
not lighting a fuse
The older we get seems the better we were
We're roaring like lions where we used to purr
There's No reason for reason at this point I’m told
we've come to the end, dear
we've run out of road
A road leads away from all that we've known
A road leads away from the spot we called home
A road leads away from all that we've seen
It was Life, it was love, it was us, not a dream
The sun’s slowly setting
its set in its ways
The heat fails to warm us
though we're caught in its gaze
Remember when love taught us each how to say
This moment of evening’s the best part of day
No reason a season should keep us from cold
we've come to the end, dear
we've run out of road
A road leads away from all that we've known
A road leads away from the spot we called home
A road leads away from all that we've seen
It was Life, it was love, it was us, not a dream
That mark on the cross
was a curse that was cast
Both winners now
shall later be last
Our chapters now written
on a yellowing page
& yet without passion its still all the rage
the last of our novel tells a story so old
we’ve come to the end dear,
we've run out of road
the quiet arrives
with a peace set in stone
United We Stand
is now two folks alone
With one headed north, the other turns south
So sad in the eyes & so down in the mouth
The end of this tale tells a story so old
this is our ending, we've run out of road
we've come to the end, dear
we've run out of road
our journey's adjourned
We've burned all the firewood
but what have we learned?
I loved you once twice but I love you no more
No reason to weep as I reach for the door
the edge of our map tells a story so old
we've come to the end, dear
we've run out of road
the line in the sand
which we drew was then crossed
Souting out orders yet neither the boss
I loved you once twice but I love you no more
No reason to speak those soft words anymore
The blurred tattered line is a promise foretold
we've come to the end, dear
we've run out of road
Our red state reaction
is straight from the news
We should’ve been laughing
not lighting a fuse
The older we get seems the better we were
We're roaring like lions where we used to purr
There's No reason for reason at this point I’m told
we've come to the end, dear
we've run out of road
A road leads away from all that we've known
A road leads away from the spot we called home
A road leads away from all that we've seen
It was Life, it was love, it was us, not a dream

Yep, I'm the guy from the Americana founders the Long Ryders in 1980s L.A. & the guy in the first ever alt-bluegrass act, the Coal Porters, recently out of London. You bet make solo albums & perform singer-songwriter gigs, I’ve toured solo from London to Los Angeles to Sydney to Hong Kong to Helsinki too. Million Dollar Bash is my well-received book on The Basement Tapes and I've never met Dylan. ... more

supported by 4 fans who also own “We've Run Out Of Road”
This is equally gorgeous and rocking - just a wonderful set of songs and great performances and arrangements (and the guitar solos are perfect). As one who was only familiar with the Long Ryders music, coming across this is ear-opening...akin to hearing Gene Clark solo stuff at the first time and marveling how it equaled/bested the Byrds.
