about

saw old truck in wyoming, told nick to write lyrics from the truck's perspective, then i sang the lyrics in a song form.

Nick tricked me into singing the line "Begging you to take nude pictures of me" by telling me that it was actually "begging you to take new pictures of me".

lyrics

left in the cold on winter, in the cold on winter nights
on display like christmas lights
the buzzards over our heads, know all the other buzzards circling their own heads
drawing circles in the clouds with their legs

underneath, i've got the same green frame
but my body refuses to think
underneath, i've got the same green frame
but my engine refuses to sing

rotten rubber feet, my arms are weak
and rust lives deep in my metal teeth
replaced by shiny horses with heavy hooves
and a body that eyes can see
if there's no country for old men, there's no country road for me
washed away by new technology

begging you to take new pictures of me.
