Make a Right Turn

from Blind Spot by The Lucky Losers

about

A Dan Hicks-like male/ female vocal duet, fast and and choppy as the road trip they are singing about. Neil Young used to say to the driver, while on tour with Crosby, Stills, and Nash, to "Make a right turn. Now!" He would get out of the tour bus, and call up his limo and leave. Just like that. He didn't want to waste one more minute of his life in chaos.

lyrics

Now we really done it baby, looks like it’s you and me
Headin’ down the highway, I just wanna be free
Gonna be sick, gonna get hit
I see our destination, but we ain’t there yet
Biker bars, diamond stores
Old men in uniforms
Palm trees, desert fields
Lost in a rain storm
Playin’ in cages, ghetto stages
Talkin’ in our face, go ahead and cheat us

Make a right turn (Chorus)
Make a right turn
I swear by God, I ain’t gonna get it
Not one more hour, not one more minute
Make a right turn, and let me out!

Everybody’s got a game, ain’t it a cryin’ shame
Money’s all that matters, it’s like a runaway train
I’m a real a misfit, ain’t in no clique
Can’t play here, cause ya ain’t payed yet
Got your name, got your number
Got it all, ya got to stop and wonder
How they got your life, got your dreams
Took it away, while you were staring at a screen

Make a right turn (Chorus)
Make a right turn
I swear by God, I ain’t gonna get it
Not one more hour, not one more minute
Make a right turn, and let me out!

DJ’s, backbeats
5150 sittin’ in the back seat, I can’t take it any more
Copycat trap, let’s go back
No imagination, ya get what you deserve
Got your name, got your number
Got it all, ya got to stop and wonder
How they got your life, got your dreams
Took it away, while you were staring at a screen

Make a right turn (Chorus)
Make a right turn
I swear by God, I ain’t gonna get it
Not one more hour, not one more minute
Make a right turn, and let me out!

Jussa make a right turn
(Let me out!)
Jussa make a right turn
(Let me out!)
Jussa make a right turn
(I can’t take it any more!)
Jussa make a right turn
(Give me a cigarette!)
Jussa make a right turn
Jussa make a right turn

And Let me out!
