about
Rooming house was written with Todd Nance and Daniel Hutchens in 2017. Todd and I were at Danny's and I started playing this music which Todd sang a melody over and Danny gave us these great lyrics. Eric Martinez plays drums, guitars, keys, and sings. Mike "Spanky" McCluer plays bass. John Neff plays pedal steel. Micah Munro sings. Both Todd (August 20) and Danny (May 21) have since died and we figured this was Todd's last song. Danny wrote till the day he died.
lyrics
Visions of us in a rooming house
Blue window curtains breezed in and out
On the parlor piano I played you silly melodies
Guests came and went
But baby, we just didn’t wanna leave
At noon when that train whistle blew
Everybody said adieu
But baby the landlady
She served us such sweet tea
Guests came and went
But baby, we just didn’t wanna leave
All that’s real to me
Is how you feel to me
And baby you feel mighty fine
Like the clean white sheets
On that rooming house bed baby when we splattered them red
Yeah blood and wine true love red
Perched on that rooming house windowsill
A talking crow said we never will
But you laughed and you harmonized
With the porch wind chimes
That crow she had to blow
But we were taking our time
Visions of us in a rooming house
A little town we never heard about
Every day that train pulled away to reality
The other guests were long gone
But baby not you and me
A little ghost in my living room
Sings me a song on the 1st of June
About that haunted old railroad station
Looking back at that lost location
Visions of us in a rooming house
Visions of us in a rooming house
