about

a new acoustic recording of the ballad of nagomi mcdaniel, originally written and recorded with jake loranger and victor bustamente for the garages' blattle of the blands.

lyrics

It’s a 4 hour flight from Baltimore
to Breckinridge
and a 4 hour flight to get back
they’re counting the votes
at 3 on a Sunday
and my bags are already packed

On my 4 hour flight from Baltimore
to Breckinridge
I don’t wonder if I could stay here
All of the vultures
Keep calling me back
And I know I’ll be gone in a year

On the road again
From Baltimore
On the road again
To the snow
Wave goodbye to the Harbor
Hello to the hills
But who knows when I’ll have to go

It’s a 4 hour flight from Breckinridge
to Baltimore
and this time my body is trapped
the election’s a landslide
I’m left in the dark
but my bags were already packed

On my 4 hour flight from Breckinridge
to Baltimore
I wonder if I’ll get to stay
Who’d ever want Nagomi McDaniel
When she’s shelled and she can’t escape

On the road again
From Breckinridge
On the road again
To the Bay
Wave goodbye to the mountains
Hello to the coast
But who knows how long I might stay

Wave goodbye to the Styx and
Goodbye to the island
Goodbye to the Harbor
Goodbye to the mountains
Goodbye to my teammates
Goodbye to my rivals
Goodbye to the fans who have
made me their idol

On the road again
From Breckinridge
On the road again
From Baltimore
On the road again
On the road again
On the road again
On the road again
Wave goodbye to the mountains
Hello to the coast
But who knows how long I might stay
