about

Original acoustic guitar and vocals written and recorded on an iPhone in Ladyvan parked in the national forest beside the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA, October 2014. Inspired by Monument Valley during a sandstorm.
The original iphone recording was kept and all additional instruments and overdubs added to that demo. I felt the passion of that take was worth saving. This demo was recorded in one take.

lyrics

Trailers baking in the desert sun
Got the stars above
And the highways hum
Bald tires holding down windswept roofs
I’m so ashamed and what we done to you

Driving through Navajo land
Everything they had for the taking
I can feel the blood on my hands
Passing through Navajo nation

Selling jewelry at a roadside stand
What can you do when your culture’s been broken
Can’t help wondering how it might have been
How bout I’m sorry next time it can be different

Driving through Navajo land
Everything they had for the taking
I can feel the blood on my hands
Passing through Navajo nation

The stray dogs are begging in the burger king parking lot
I wish that I could take them all home
And sing for you, I’m sorry and you’re not alone
I’m sorry and you’re not alone
I’m sorry and you’re not alone
I’m sorry and you’re not alone

Driving through Navajo land
Everything they had for the taking
I can feel the blood on my hands
I’m sorry and you’re not alone
