Of the album, Kelly comments, “A lot of my music is focused on suffering, or trying to understand the human condition through the lens of suffering…which probably sounds totally depressing, but it’s actually the flipside of that. Sometimes you’ve gotta go into that darkness—you need to get lost and then figure out for yourself how to find your way back. That’s the only way we can find pure joy, and really be thankful for the life we’ve been given.” Lyrics: I'm the son of a highway daughter Born in gasoline I traced the steps of my foolish father And danced with the devil in Galilee It was a cold winter, ice above the water And nails stuck between my toes So I pried out and I buried my doubt In all the women along the road And I went down to Dublin County Where I found God in a bottle of wine And I headed up north thinking I could find Any work or peace of mind Nobody sells that around here too much anymore I woke up stoned with a bag of bones Laying in my bed She was breathing fire, I was a worn out tire Trying to brush her ash outside of my head It was an easy game, nothing in the chase Needed something just a little more cold So I traded her in for a bag of sin And I headed on down the road And I got lost in California Where I'd been waiting on the days to rain But I was looking to find any reason to hide But no reason ever came And all of the lonesome sounds of the streetlight Pushing strangers along their way That town kept calling me That town kept calling me That town kept calling me But, that town kept calling me That town kept calling me That town kept calling me That town kept calling me, yeah Yeah, yeah I'm the son of a highway daughter Born in gasoline Music video by Ruston Kelly performing Son Of A Highway Daughter. © 2018 Rounder Records, a division of Concord Music Group, Inc. http://vevo.ly/Dj5Syo
