lyrics

Dale learns trumpet at 86. He needs so bad to have a mouth to kiss. He made a deal



with a pawnshop. He spends his days practicing, tests his scales against arthritis. Grace downstairs, damn near has a heart attack waking up and hearing Dale blat another fuzzy run of notes. He tries to blast along to Louis Armstrong, Lionel Richie and the Ace of Bass.
There’s no sense to his boombox or his pisspoor renditions of the themes from his favorite movies so, one February evening––Grace, she’s just had it––she damn near beats the door down. Thinks she’d find a drug addict, but it’s just Dale, with his boots on. Wrinkly old Dale.

When you don’t know where you should go, start to feel like you’re being choked––
it’s not your fault you just didn’t know
that once you go you’re gone for good.

If Dale wasn’t so bent over he’d be tall. If Grace were forty years older she’d look like Deb, gone 9 years this spring. He had to sing. That’s what he told her. He just didn’t have the knack. Watch out! The blues run up your arms and gets down in your heart.

Mine cart, mine cart,
Drift and spark. Slip
the track to find your heart.
