From the recording Suicide Doors
The Future Blues' recipe includes, but is not limited to:
JJ Cale and his funky, laid back groove oriented Blues.
The romanticism of the lone itinerate bluesman of the pre-war era.
The hypnotic grooves of the northern Mississippi Hill Country artists like R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, and Asie Payton.
The fearlessness of improvisation.
Jimi Hendrix.
The acceptance and integration of drum machines from JJ Cale to Hip Hop.
The poetic lyricism of Americana songwriters such as Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, and Steve Earle.
Recorded live at Lucasound Studios in Nashville by Robert Lucas on May 8th, 2025
Lyrics
Your foot’s on the gas pedal of my heart
Speeding towards a cliff in a jalopy falling apart
This rust bucket can’t support us anymore
We’re cruising for a breakdown on the side of the road
And a fiery torch ain’t strong enough to repair our wounds
We’re running out of road and steel towards impending doom
These suicide doors are locked from the outside
I’m trapped in here with you and you can’t drive
The wheels are coming off and the spark plugs just won’t spark
Our lights don’t work and daylight’s’ turning to dark
We’re speeding downhill and the brakes won’t brake
I’m trying talk sense to you but it don’t take
Your foot’s on the gas pedal of my heart
In a jalopy that’s falling apart
The spark plugs just won’t spark
And daylight is turning to dark
