Lyrics:
my dad rode a 750 when he lived alone in Siskiyou County
he’d memorized the curves of the forest route up Shasta to his home
once he flew around a bend, and elk were scattered across the road
no time to brake, so he closed his eyes and prayed
there’s too many stories to remember
too many stories to tell
too many stories
years later in Greece with my momma shining blue and gold
playing honey take the wheel on a windy Cycladean road
with a heavy rain falling, their car lost all control
and slid over the line towards a trailer truck head on
there’s too many stories to remember
too many stories to tell
too many stories
the way I remember them telling me, they slid right through the truck
not around or under, but in one side and out the other
it broke the laws of physics in my childhood memory
but they said “you made that all up”
when I retold their story recently
there’s too many stories to remember
too many stories to tell
too many stories
there’s too many stories to remember
too many stories to tell
too many stories
