lyrics

Headin' north for the winter
Ignored all my friends
And I can't promise you the place I end
Will be the same place I began

And I ain't got no money
To me that means I'm free
To go where I wanna
To say what I mean
To do what ever I please

And I'll give thanks to the cities
Who fed me and kept me clean
To hell with all the rest of you
Destroying the American Dream

And I'll walk across this country
Though winds and pouring rain
Over bridges and highways on buses and trains
Surf amber waves of grains

If home is where the heart is
Then mine's beating on the road
In far away spots through dark junkyard lots
Where the transients welcome me home

And we'll stroll through the cities
Through villages and one-horse towns
Lord help me when the devil comes and tries to
Tries and tries to pull me down

Headin' north for the winter
Ignored all my friends
And I can't promise you the place I end
Will be the same place I began

It's time for Revolution!
My best friend he'll agree with me
It's time to reclaim what is rightfully ours
It's time to truly be free

And we'll give thanks to the heavens
When god shed's his grace on thee
To hell with all the rest of you
Destroying the American Dream

about

Inaiah Lujan Pueblo, Colorado

"Whether laying down some succulent psychotropic hip-hop as DJ Flow Nase, feeding off of severely distorted barre chords with the riff-heavy punk band A Poor Substitute, or lending distinctive vocal abilities to the peculiar and hypnotic "funeral pop" band The Mexican, Pueblo's Inaiah Lujan is plainly a restless soul."

-Adam Leech, The Independent
